Welsh Runner and Kelloggs On The Run #18 Piss Poor Parents & Piss Poor Pacing in Pisa

[zetta buttons]

Daz told him to forget about the 1% and what does he do, go out and run using bicarb and claim it made a fuck ton of difference. She otoh is posting vile pictures of her essentially throwing up puréed rice and pointless videos of pacers.

I said something to this effect on Jemma’s thread but kids these days have so much to deal with (schools are so much harder with social media and the pressures that come with that). Not only should they be present, helping them navigate school and these pressures, they should not be adding to them by posting incessantly* on sm where their friends/peers could find these reels and videos and use them as ammunition for bullying.

* the topless cycling videos and the one where Kelly had to blur out tits spring to mind.

Totally agree re the kids. My kids grew up in a small farming town so nobody cared what clothes you wore or what phone you had, and I'm so glad. I see the affect social media has had on my friends kids, and that's without their parents posting themselves all over social media.

It’s ok everyone, we’ve been treated to a video where we see pads of presents and her putting lots of effort into the elf. She’s such an amazing mum.

That was my take from it too. On the surface it was really gushy but there were a couple of stingers in there

Err, the one that springs to mind IMMEDIATELY (unfortunately) is the video of Tits wearing a thong for Manchester marathon.

Putting a post up of your 5 year old and wishing them a happy birthday does not make you a good parent. Nor does showing everyone you “make memories” at a park once a month. It’s showing up day in, day out when things are good and when things are shit and being the constant when everything around them is unpredictable.

Just saying.

So this aged well…

 

[Camperfan]

He always feels great many weeks out, but then it all goes to shit when it is marathon day. He hasn't stopped to think why...more volume is probably not the answer, or bicarb. But I'm here for the dice rolling.

 

[WeepingCassandra]

Erm ok

Is that how you end up in the med tent?

 

[Runningdietitian]

Do we think Kells got the BQ ending shits from sneaking Tits bicarb to Pisa for that extra 1%??

 

[the_chafe_is_real]

I call bullshit on Kells and her poo stops - her pace didn’t slow enough for someone who was shitting themselves. I’ve had longer wees. She needed to stop for a breather and blaming it on GI issues makes her feel better about it

Totally agree with this.
She is not really capable of a sub 3.50, let alone a sub 3.45 and tbf I find it hilarious that she has to have sub 3 marathoners pacing her to get such a mediocre result after training full time for this sole purpose for years on end.
People can get this result with 3 runs/week and average of 30miles/week with full time jobs - defo not everyone but it's not unheard of.

I hate to say it, but two 3:5x marathons without enough rest makes me think she absolutely could do sub-3:50 if she did it sensibly. Training, nutrition, race plan etc. She’s not that kind of person though so it probably won’t happen any time soon.

That’s the thing though. When have we ever seen her race sensibly? When have we ever seen her get a proper handle on her nutrition? When have we ever seen her prepare for a marathon with decent recovery and strength work?

We can say she’s capable of sub 3:50 if she nails those things but in over 5 years of watching her, when has she ever shown she has the discipline to actually train sensibly? Therefore she can’t achieve it, because she hasn’t the discipline to do what she needs to to achieve it. That time is out of her capability not because of her innate ability but because of her inability to train.

(oh, and more “I’m the best mum ever” content from Kelly today. She’s making me sick with it tbh.)

I would say that, if you remove the random marathon in the middle of training, she actually trained kind of OK for Valencia. But she suffers from trying to reach unattainable goals and wrecking her races trying to get them. I do think she could do a 345/50 with a bit more sensible training (without marathons in the middle of her training block), some realistic race pacing and some discipline on race day. But I honestly think that would be her limit.

 

[zetta buttons]

She’s her own worst enemy though (along with the death eater). She thinks she needs to do marathons in the middle of her training cycles. She insists on going off like a bunny in a box. We never see her really take recovery seriously. If she read here, actually read and took it on board… but she won’t. She thinks she knows best.

 

[the_chafe_is_real]

I genuinely don’t think she has sub 3:50 in her but happy to be proved wrong. Abingdon was her first marathon of the 3 and everything came together. Valencia, who knows because she brushed it under the carpet and the only reason she got 3:56 at Pisa was Holly dragging her along. It would have been Valencia 2.0 if Holls hadn’t been there.

 

[notokhun]

I think if she had focused on getting sub 4 first, then sub 3:55 and so on she would have a chance. Thing is she thinks she's capable of a BQ now and she's not. If she put the work in slowed down, didn't feel the need to achieve pbs for the gram and got a coach who had a clue she'd be fine. But she won't don't because her ego won't let her.

 

[zetta buttons]

I wonder what next year will bring. He definitely won’t make his sub 2:20 target but I’m in two minds as to whether she’ll attempt another tri.

She’ll be high off the end of this year so they’ll definitely be a load of spring marathons booked in.

 

[eyethinkyousuck]

Tits will be injured again before Seville because VOLUME.

They are both the epitome of all the gear and no idea. At least most of us learn from the mistakes that we make, but they don’t make mistakes. They’re just know it all.
