Injust went to check the blog, didn’t know she has one, omg there is no way I’m going to read an assay about a marathon she did just because she likes marathon…
I mean I'd rather read an essay about the marathon than the post under it which was an essay moaning on about her kid's sleep and low-key shaming mothers who sleep-train but I agree she just rambles and word vomits on about things which aren't interesting. When running blogs were more of a thing I used to love reading about races with a specific strategy behind them, where I'd been following the training for a target time and cheering on the runner in question from behind the screen, but with her approach? Nah.
I'd forgotten she even had a blog for a while. Seems she just resurrects it for a bit when she has a lot of shitty sponsored posts to spam everyone with and needs to break them up. It surprises me that anyone even bothers trying to get their product on a blog now given that they have little to no reach. Those companies would be better off scrapping blog posts entirely and moving to IG like everyone else did like five plus years ago.
I know it’s primarily British runners discussed here, but does anyone follow Hungry Runner Girl? She’s been sick (sounds like Covid or the flu), took a few days off, and just came back with a 10 mile run and then eight the next day. She seems to be injured all the time but runs through it.
Yep. Another one who used to be quite interesting to follow but has now slipped down the disordered slide of running to eat rather than eating appropriately to fuel your training. She's totally obsessed now and has a panic attack even taking one day off. Obviously needs help but yet again she's fast so no-one will intervene. No idea how she's still going since she had so many fractures in the past and you'd think that issue would only get worse with age, particularly since she's lost weight in pursuit of a 2:40ish time.
