Welsh Runner and Kelloggs on the Run #17 Threshy Seshy Splashy Crashy

[notokhun]

Well done and all that, but sorry, who runs a marathon (at PB pace) as a training run for a goal marathon thats just weeks away? They still make absolutely no sense!

This is the perfect excuse ready made for a valencia bonk
But also if today hadn't gone well would have been sold as not important because uts so close to Valencia

You just know that a sub four wasn’t her A goal plan because if it was she wouldn’t have set off the pace she did. You don’t need to run 8.37 or whatever she did in the first mile to get a sub 4….you do however to get a sub 3.45 .
Kells regardless of your result today, you’re still shit at pacing and knowing your capabilities

 

[*twinkletwinkle*]

She got a sub-4, finally. Yay! (Her words in the reel ffs).

 

[the_chafe_is_real]

Fucking hell, that gap in her tooth is all I can see.

Who runs a marathon as a long training run?

Make that make sense please!

Why is she so emosh? This is a time she should have run years ago considering it’s her bloody full time job!!

Deffo got a new Coach

Wow! Well done her. And the weather was foul which won't have helped.

I wonder if tits not being there helped. The pace cliff edge didn't seem so big/early?

She started at a pace that was a lot more realistic so didn't drop off as much

 

[zetta buttons]

I don’t often comment on appearances (unless someone is a triggering POS) but my god, living with Tits and his toxicity is really showing.

Is a sub 4/BQ really worth all this? She looks fucked and not in an “I’ve just run 26.2 miles” kind of way.

 

[hollyhocks]

Good time overall but awful pacing. I bet that would have been a much more enjoyable run if she was realistic with herself and set out at 9 minute pace.

This makes no sense, and probably means she will overreach in Valencia now.

She should probably just stop and accept this good performance I reckon!

She did look a lot more youthful and healthy a few years ago. My dentist would be nagging me about the receding gums as well. We all age and get older but it seems accelerated. Is she still a smoker?

 

[instaidiotics]

She did what runner of 4 did last year (or year before) ran a ‘secret’ marathon so people weren’t expecting it / less pressure by not putting your goal out there.

I think we need to brace ourselves. There’s already been reposting of poems written for Jemma () and pictures of the three of them being all “so much grit” and “we are the storm”. In light of the news about Chris Hoy today, I’m struggling to feel happy for any of them. Maybe because it’s because it’s Sunday, maybe it’s because I’m a miserable mid-40 year old or maybe because imo grit or battling storms is not training for marathons when you don’t have a job (runnerof4 excepted) to juggle around.

She’s going to be unbearable now. He might be happy on the surface but deep down he’s going to be furious and will up his training and intake of baking ingredients. Cornflour anyone?

Note how there’s no mention of Alex Yee. Triathlon has obviously been shelved.

 

[Marinium]

I think we all need to realise that even though sub-4 is a great goal and achievement for anyone else, for someone on their 10th? 15th? marathon that have been doing exclusively marathon blocks with no other job for the last 5 years it's probably not as impressive.
Good for her for finally getting one of her goals, but come on! Get a grip with reality

Yes, Tits will be furious inside, I bet he loves deep down that she always failed

 

[Wannabrunner39]

There’s totally going to be a smug vlog about this isn’t there?! Although the Valencia one, the tri etc nowhere to be seen.
Documenting the highs and the lows forever though obviously ….

 

[Runningdietitian]

Sorry Kells but you have a long way to go to convince me you know what you are doing. You are making out this was a "training run" to come across as miss big "BQ capable" for Valencia. Not a chance love. If it was a training run you wouldn't have smashed out a 10 minute mile near the end.

We have always said you are capable of sub 4. Those BQ believers are much quieter!

Valencia is going to be interesting!!!

Ps - I liked her before tit face got involved. The guy is a dick and made her teeth fall out!

 

[EC1A]

No chance of her BQing (ever) but good work for doing sub 4 without Tits; much more satisfying than if he’d been there.

She needs to bin him off, urgently.

 

[Wannabrunner39]

There’s a part of me that wonders if she’ll do Valencia now. She’s not a consistent runner - yesterday could have gone either way by how much she slowed- she knows deep down she probably won’t repeat it at Valencia and as much as she’d like to have us believe that yesterday was a training run at easy pace- she must have been run/ walking by the end looking at those splits .
I’m anticipating a medical emergency for Valencia but we all know she would have BQd after yesterday- right?

 

[Fifah1907]

I don’t think she’ll do Valencia but tbf fair play to her for yday. I’ll never get a sub 4 so that’s impressive to me she’s still annoying as though and won’t get her BQ

Tits won’t be doing it now either so I guess they’ll save on travel costs
