Welshrunner, kelloggsontherun #13 Valencia, I think we have a problem!

I wish he’d drop one of his runs and get in the gym. Even Jemma preaches about lifting in the gym and how it’s helped her.
He will not improve with running alone, conditioning the body plays a huge part especially as you get older. Lifting weights becomes a priority over doing more running as it helps to improve your bone strength too.

he clearly does care about the result and time, even if he says he doesn't.

This pair frustrate me no end for quite a few reasons, one of which is that they are unbelievably dedicated to their training and with the right coaching, they could both be so much better!

Also thanks for all the updates. I had surgery yesterday so it’s been nice to wake up and read all the comments. You’ve helped to cheer me up

Neither have a job and both are happy to live in a filthy house, so of course they have the time to be dedicated. Nothing else is on their day to day to-do list.

He makes out he hasn't got time for the gym yet squeezes in 80mpw. Total contradiction.

There's no way he will improve on his own. I bet he ends up injured before race day.

Hello double Threshold days and a stress fracture

 

[zetta buttons]

He wouldn’t know what hard work was if it came and hit him in the face. He really needs to stop this bollocks and do something meaningful with his life. He might not need to push his body to extremes then- he’d get his mental fulfilment in other ways. Something is obviously lacking.

It’s just running FFS and he’s not even elite! He’s talking about it like it’s Olympic trials or something, he needs to get his head out of his arse. He is a hobby runner. Above average but hobby runner.
How about looking at himself and acknowledging that he’s provided for himself and his family?

Exactly, he's a decent club runner, not taking part in the Olypic 5000m final ffs, how about being a decent father

 

[coopdeloop]

he was a gym bunny before, isn't it?
(maybe I'm getting confuse with all the IG wankers)

Yea I think he was a gym goer, I think he’s said previously he used it to get through some MH issues and then fell into running. He’s clearly a talented runner but his approach is insane

 

[tallula09]

It’s very sad that he puts his entire self worth on running which is essentially his hobby. He really needs to seek fulfilment in other ways. Maybe then the time will sort themselves out, I don’t know.
Why not drive the kids to the Welsh mountains for the day, climb Snowdon, show them some waterfalls. Why not show up as a father or step father to the opening of an envelope as he has no set working hours. There are so many places in life to feel fulfilled and add joy to his and others lives alongside his running.
He definitely has one of the most unhealthy relationships with running on insta.

 

[FPbase]

He needs a job and perspective. Life is more than running, even for elites (no that he’ll be ever one)

 

[Marinium]

What are they both gonna do in a couple of years, when all their ‘content’ has dried up, they have zero income cause let’s face it, they don’t have enough audience to support a sufficient family income, maybe freebies here and there and no pension to account for?
Benefits it is I reckon?

 

[the_chafe_is_real]

I can’t see how they have enough content or engagement now, they must make their money through ripping people off for their “coaching”.

Double post but Kells has shared a story of one of her paying sheep and the woman is in week 2 of a 16 week London plan, having run 42 miles. What the duck is she going to peak at?!

[Been lurking]

So she is barely running... Injured we assume? Fed up of running? Working towards a different goal? Why not just say?

 

[the_chafe_is_real]

Kells has run 20 miles this year, she’s injured for sure. And throwing all her interest into triathlon. Classic Kells, all the gear. Remember when she was into XC? And trail running (technical trails, not lumpy FOD). She hasn’t swum since Eilish stopped her water jogging.

 

[Camperfan]

Funniest triathlon training I've ever seen though, do they do competition events on Zwift? Because at the moment that's all she seems to do. They are so shady when injured, or if events don't go as planned, they just say nothing but carry on posting any old bollocks to keep the algorithms going.

 

[bobbinz]

Yeah for a running / junk miles addict 20 miles in 15 days is nowt! Something must be up but guess we’ll never know. If only she had a running account which allegedly shared the journey
