He looks terrible, he can barely keep his eyes open. It’s like he is desperately trying to convince himself that he enjoys running right now.
Good to see Kells has gone out and done some more junk miles because she’s so recovered and ready to go all in again. After Parkrun yesterday. Another weekend of fun filled family activity….
 
How many times have you been abroad now Matt for pointless races/ad campaigns?

Fancy doing a campaign about sustainability?

Thought not.

Twat.

(you aren’t working btw. You are being a twat. So when you say you are on the start line proud of the work you have done or you still have work to do, you need to say you are proud of the twat you have become or you still have room to grow into the twat you want to be . Hth.)
 
The YouTube algorithm suggested I watch Welsh's latest offering, so in I went (all in). I forgot how much of a monumental dick head he is. Like, an actual, proper, idiot.
  1. He complains about getting calf and glute issues while do marathon training. Do some effing strength work then?
  2. He lists what HE WEARS on his Strava activities! Who the fuck does that?!!
With the last point, there's a private notes section on Strava. He can log this shit and his lactate nonsense in there if it's that important to him. So either he's too thick to figure that out, or more likely, it's an opportunity for him to pretend he's clever to his fawning followers and plug Soar's overpriced kit at the same time. Saddo.
 
Absolutely cracking up at this direct comment on Kelly's marathon debrief video. "If I can give you a little advice - after every marathon you run you say you're sick/not feeling well etc. That's a no no, just put your hands up you paced it wrong end of. we have all been there" 😂👏👏👏

Embarrass the body 😳😳 what the actual hell is this nonsense now.

My body has carried and birthed 3 beautiful children after surviving hyperemis. Now I'm going to thank it by making it stronger through good nutrition and exercise to help it be stronger.
If it doesn't get me a quicker marathon then I'll take it as my limit and not burn it (myself) out. Bodies are amazing, he honestly has zero clue what he is talking about. I'm all for bodies can do amazing things and sometimes we hold ourselves back through believing it can't but equally this is a hard nope from me as that not the message he's giving. Absolute bellend

*If I'm reading it wrong please tell me
 
I have tried to search for the comment on her posts but can’t find it, so I’m assuming she has deleted it! I wonder if she reads it she will start to realise the truth in it!
I’m doing my first marathon next year… if you all contribute I’ll have him as my coach and say I want a Bq and share his plan with you all 😂
It's a youtube video not a post!
🤣🤣🤣
 
My god, as if I couldn’t get anymore gob smacked by this absolute tit head. 2 marathons before your A race marathon and within the training block. Fuck me. I’m sure actual coaches are screaming at the screen on their phone when they see the shit he peddles out.

Meanwhile homemade gels??!!!!?? Matt, come on hun, we all know that there’s plenty of gels on the market that work just fine. It wouldn’t surprise me if this is a new ‘business opportunity’ he’s trying to muster up.

I honestly think my hamster has more brain cells than this fucking pair combined.
 
Matts heading for a heart attack or ED admission.

That's what I thought, he could do himself some serious damage. RED-S affects men as well but because they don't have the menstrual cycle issues it gets ignored more...doubt he's making gels from his spunk, he probably can't get it up if he's wrecking his body with over exercising and under fuelling.
 
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, the body carries on until it doesn’t.

It can get through stress fractures, tendinitis, pretty much anything, time and time again, all through chronic under fuelling and then suddenly something happens and you are floored. That something could be minor like a muscle strain or a bad bout of flu and then the whole house of cards comes tumbling down.

He will think he is invincible now because he got through that stress fracture and followed it with a season of pbs. Actually, anyone can tell that his body is not functioning and is ready to break.

He’s past the stage of anyone telling him what to do as part of his personal training. The only thing left is his body stopping him. For a good effing while. But he has his followers and the people he coaches and there is no way they should be seeing this as a healthy way to run. He needs to be stopped from posting or coaching.

(edit- I also get the impression from his posts about work/recovery etc that he thinks he is an elite and this is his job/profession. Who TF gave him that idea?)

He talks about embarrassing the body. He is just embarrassing himself now.
 
Is the house they are in hers or his? If her ex partners are higher earners whatever they pay in child maintenance probably covers their housing costs or at least a fair chunk of it, I know it does for some of my friends in a similar situation (as in separated, not barely parenting their kids to eff about pretending running is their job) and I'm guessing the vast majority of kit and trips to races is gifted because he just has to bring out the video from London marathon once a year and people flock to him :rolleyes: I don't know how many people he is coaching but there's also the possibility he isn't exactly managing his "business" in a totally above board way.

It’s got to be her house, he’s got sponger stamped all over his forehead
