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

[Humblebrag]

Tits seems already burnt out and it’s week 3.
I find it infuriating that he’s a talented runner that could do well with the right coaching but with his silly self coaching methods he seems to have no clue of basic principles and any sort of physiology.
Going from 80km weeks to 130km with double threshold (wtaf) and all the tit miles, no strength work, and expecting it all to work based on discipline and motivation. Noice

Also, do we think Kels has already given up in whatever spectacular goal she had for the year? BQ, Ironman, etc? It would seem reasonable but I reckon she’ll come back in desperation to keep some audience

Hope he can make it to the key session of this block, an all out 10k the week before his marathon

Don’t forget the 5 mile shakeout run at marathon pace the day before.

Oh they drive me crazy, complete pair of kitchen sink runners thinking they will get what they want if they just train lots and lots. And she is surely suffering post that crazy rapha challenge she did?

Just been in the bbc sounds post and I can’t see any of those messages so clearly been removed which is pathetic from bbc sounds

I can still see the bonk comment.

Oh how weird I can’t see it

 

[Fake-It-Til-You-Bonk-It]

Anyone? You too can be as fab as Tits and Kels, and meet a new partner (whether married or not) and go on to become insta-famous and achieve great success in your running ‘career’! Anyone at all? No???

 

[zetta buttons]

She’s bragging about double sessions of running and zwifting and posting what looks to be bin contents served up for dinner and then there’s this.

I mean he’s taking the piss, right? He thinks he’s doing a PhD at Loughborough or Bath doesn’t he? Matt, you’re an unemployed hobby jogger who’s missed every pb attempt in the last 4 years because you have no idea how to train. Leave the science to the people who actually know S-C-I-E-N-C-E.

Unemployed hobby jogger . And will never be elite. He had his five minutes of fame, he should just duck off now.

Also just posting the comment from BBC Sounds, 27 likes, most popular comment of the post (which is so far down the page now, last week’s chip paper)

What is he going to do with all this lactate data he's busy making graphs with? I mean a bit of knowledge in the wrong hands is a dangerous thing?! It all feels a bit pointless if you continue to train like a tw@t. How is he actually using this to gain the minutes he needs to be faster, to beat his last mara time (because he hasn't been close to 2.20 in years, has he?).

I always tell people that the more money you spend, the faster you'll get. I guess the same goes for lactate testing. The more you test, the more you improve

Nick, is that you? Give me a boomshakalaka if it is

Sorry to quote you again, but coming from an educational background, we have the term weighing the pig doesn’t make it fatter.

We could have long discussions about what constitutes useful data and the fact that knowing you’re being “weighed”/taking lactate measurements could affect your training but really? For the likes of tits?

He’s a twit. She’s a smug twit. End of.

I love this, can we make (technical) t-shirts?

Back to the pool today. Back to tri trainjng? What about the spring BQ attempt? Do we think that’s off the cards now? No spring marathon incoming?
I’ve ran more miles than kel so far this year….that would usually alarm me and make wonder what I was playing at - but she’s only done 22 miles!

 

[eyethinkyousuck]

I thought exactly the same thing!!!

She really must be injured!

She really must be injured!

She mentioned shockwave in a reply to a comment on her woe is me post. Good luck getting that gifted kelbel. It works but it hurts like hell (well it hurt my already hurting Achilles), and you need a load of sessions.

If she does get it gifted I will be even more angry about them than I already am.
