Anna’s gone for a few days away but has to get a park run in. Man I hope she gets help some day

I'm surprised she decided to take Issac with them, how much moaning she did about a simple car journey. How dare he be such an inconvenience to her! I guess there will be chance overnight and next few days to dump Issac with any random relative so she can get the miles in or go for a binge.

There’s a lot of things you could fault her for IMO this isn’t so bad, it’s not like she’s dragged him out in terrible weather and has him sat in the buggy getting cold. I’ll reserve judgement for tomorrow if she ditches them all for her long run alone!
 
That poor boy gets dragged out in all weathers for his daily nursery commute, don't worry it will be only a few weeks before a 2 week long stay with the Nannas, while his parents go on a child friendly holiday without him.

I'm getting so fed up of reading morningcoffeerun complain about struggling with long events whilst also doing zero training for them

Absolutely! He’s a long distance runner who does zero long distance training. I am not surprised at all he found it difficult, surprised he doesn’t injure himself too due to lack of training.
He’s always done lots of free races but no training for them- don’t understand where the achievement is in that.
 
I mean stop saying I love being a parent when all you do is moan about it then drive 5 hours to wales just to do a random park run and then drive back down south the following day just saying

Anyone have any thoughts on Jeff Pelletier?

Personally: I find his running content so dull / boring / repetitive. (especially his big race stuff, Georgia series recently on YouTube). He does everything 'right', never seems to struggle, seems a bit condescending or patronising towards other runners - just thinks he's the bee's knee's basically.

I don't know who he's making these videos for really. I get promoted them because I run ultra's, but he is just so BORING.

What a strange thing to be so salty about. Must be nice to have such a wonderful life that the only thing that really bothers you is people declaring their love and enjoyment for/of something. Kind of like, you know, she does with running. When what she really 'loves' is the attention and pigging out on all the food she can find afterwards. She doesn't love running, she loves having run. Except those who enjoy travel aren't hurting anyone or setting any bad examples, whereas she is.

Why do people who love travelling offend her so much and why is she so insistent on gatekeeping it? What a bitch.

Yeah, I know what you mean. Some of the stuff is pretty to look at, but he's so monotone and dreary.

While we're talking about YouToobers: Seth Demoor is a bellend of the highest order. I'm glad he failed miserably at his return race last weekend, but he won't learn from it. There's a highly entertaining thread on LetsRun.com about him if anyone's bored.
 
I see now where Kelly’s training plan is coming from: chatGPT. This 18 week plan for a 2:45 looks great…if you like to run a 44mile run as your final long run. It’s definitely got welloggs in mind with that one!

ChatGPT wrote my marathon training schedule

I asked to build an 18 week training block with a goal time of 2:45:00. This is what it spit out…Great goal! Here's an 18-week marathon training blo...

I agree. Why be a bitch about something like this? Why tell someone if they are travelling or holidaying? Why is that your business? And if you look up ‘travel’ in the dictionary it most definitely won’t talk about backpacks and hostels 😂

Dont you have to run first to get a substantial injury? All I ever see him do is walk. His name should definitely be looked into by trade descriptions. Drop the run part and call it the morningcoffeewalk.
