thewelshrunner & kellogs_ontherun #4 Injury, hospitals & gluten-free galore. It all went wrong at Phantasm24

Haha at him being called out by running trips for essentially taking a bit of their content and twisting it for his own point. What a twat.

What have they said?

 

[coach84]

So Kelly has been on Ciprofloxacin which is an antibiotic to treat bacterial infections…she either picked something up in Kenya or from her living room but she would probably recover much faster is she had a break from running

Here ya go.

Literally can’t help herself with the drip feed of info.
Googling the tablets she has comes up with this https://www.medicines.org.uk/emc/product/3484/smpc#gref

Which in turn says it is prescribed for lots of reasons but clearly I’m assuming one of these:

Ciprofloxacin is the riskiest antibiotic you can take as a runner. It's renowned for causing tendon issues and ruptures and in the US it carries a 'black box' warning people of it. Knowing her, she'll probably use that info as an excuse to abort her next marathon.

I’m choosing to ignore the last bullet point and going for option 1,2,3 or 4

 

[snapdrag0n]

I don’t know why these people can’t just rest! Taking abx for a long time and quite a dose too should be a key factor in deciding to just let your body heal.

Yeah we use cipro for our bronchiectasis patients who have cultured pseudomonas for the first time. Its a 2 week course and we specifically warn them to contact their doctor if they start to get heel or calf pain as achilles rupture is one of the more serious side effects. If there's ever a time to take it easy.....

No doubt she’s risking it because 2 broken tits in their house with 5 kids and a dog, and the state of cleanliness of their house, can’t be hood for anyone’s mental health.

Ironic that her treatment for (suspected) nausea, vomiting and diarrhea causes those very ailments

Also looks like she’s not doing the gluten free diet, because eating to many Easter chocolate nest. For One they are not gluten-free

Also yes to Kenya not being appropriate for everyone and it doesn’t have to be. It is an elite training camp for predominantly East African athletes. It doesn’t need to be inclusive and taking a bunch of middle class white people who are a bit crap just feels like it’s making talented black athletes a tourist attraction which is at best, fucking weird and worst, really quite racist

I have to disagree here. I’m not into people saying things are racist

The locals are trying to create a tourist industry here, and it happens all over. You woudnt say going to Spain or Dubai was racist

No, because in Dubai and Spain the main tourist attraction isn’t the people. Sending white people to gawp at black elite athletes and poor black children is as I say at best, weird, at worst really problematic

You don’t need to bring colour into it.
These people are wanting people to come and spend money in their towns

Forget about anyone colour, you are making it about colour

much as I think Welsh and Kellogg are dicks no one is being racist

Depends on the brand of rice crispies they used, most own brand ones are GF.

Kelly's having a bit of a declutter, about time too! Found some running shoes she hadn't worn for over a year, probably some gifted pair she wore for a single photo and threw in the back of the cupboard. She's obviously not been gifted any new shoes lately and scraping the barrel.

If you look at the way that they behaved in Kenya towards the athletes, guides, families and children then you absolutely cannot deny it is about colour and white privilege.

There is no way that they would have behaved that way had they gone on a running trip to St Mortiz or Flagstaff.

You might disagree, this is an online forum and we are all allowed our own opinions, but my in my opinion it was racist, it did show white privilege and it was horrific to see.

Hard agree. And realistically the locals will not be profiting off those trips, just foreign owned tour companies

Patronising is not racism though is it

so yes they maybe acting like gawping idiots but they are not being racist

But if they wouldn’t behave like that with athletes, guides, families and children who were white and part of an equivalent running camp then it is racist.

For my two cents - it all felt a bit “children in need” for me. “Here’s the loo block which they had to fundraise because there wasn’t one here, here’s the school European charities paid for etc. etc.”
