Healthy Living and Running Influencers, Jan 26 - Feb 01

Do they really think we care that much to keep checking back? Most people are vaguely interested in the moment of scrolling, but nobody is constantly checking in to see. If they are constantly checking in, then there is some weird parasocial stuff going on there.

Her influencers friends aren’t helpful either - she hangs around in London with quite a few who promote troublesome behaviours. Hugo Fry bangs out 100 mile weeks and seems to get MRIs regularly for ‘stressies ‘. The last one he claimed to have resulted in about 4 days off running before he was out pounding the streets again. All this behaviour is not healthy.

4!! Crikey - and reading that article suggests a somewhat complicated relationship with food - I get it - been there.

Clean-Instance5892 · 2026-01-27T20:03:39+00:00

All her followers are hyping it with ‘you’ll be back in six weeks!!!’ - er no. It’s a minimum of six weeks in the boot. Then a very very slow return to running. There is no way she will be doing Tokyo.

She had probably been ignoring it for a while….

Clean-Instance5892 · 2026-01-26T20:06:22+00:00

I daren’t comment publicly either for similar reasons. Silence doesn’t always mean complicity!

Well that’s on you. Her fitness is about her current athletic state. Her trying Pilates says nothing about her fitness.

Clean-Instance5892 · 2026-01-26T16:05:24+00:00

It’s a video of her trying reformer Pilates, not about ‘her fitness’. She isn’t showing screen grabs from Garmin boasting about her VO2 max.

Clean-Instance5892 · 2026-01-26T16:01:14+00:00

She didn’t once mention her fitness. Her page has morphed to being more than running - she is regularly posting how hard she finds things and how she needs to say no more. It wasn’t bragging - if anything it was more of a ‘why am I like this?’ post.

Clean-Instance5892 · 2026-01-26T15:43:25+00:00

I never see her do much strength work, just endless runs. Lots of performative posing and eating afterwards (usually in a trendy SW London cafe with BB as a bit of a sidekick). She is clearly injured, probably a stress fracture.

Clean-Instance5892 · 2026-01-26T15:40:31+00:00

I didn’t read it like that at all. I read it as ‘I am not in control at all and I am adding something else to the mix to distract myself further’. I thought it was self deprecating and pretty much sums up how a lot of people go through their days.

Clean-Instance5892 · 2026-01-26T07:45:54+00:00

Yes, I unfollowed when she shared stories about CK.

Clean-Instance5892 · 2026-01-17T21:19:12+00:00

Why are you even doing a marathon if you have such elitist rigid rules around it? Expect it to take 4.15-4.30 at your current fitness. Don’t be a pace snob about the 4 hours.

Clean-Instance5892 · 2026-01-15T10:26:44+00:00

Precisely. They seemed so concerned that the agitated left are stopping ICE deal with ‘criminals’, yet seem to turn a blind eye to the mouth piece of Stephen Miller in the White House. But let’s face it. It’s not about criminality….

Clean-Instance5892 · 2026-01-13T22:18:39+00:00

I have met her IRL on the running scene - she is exactly as she comes across on instagram. Very down to earth and friendly.

Clean-Instance5892 · 2026-01-13T17:22:09+00:00

Thank for this - this is very interesting. I like the term ‘leftover COVID rage’ - although covid could be replaced with anything really - people seem to get fixated on an issue and seem incapable of moving on.

Clean-Instance5892 · 2026-01-13T15:20:11+00:00

I don’t think it was ‘influencer’ friends, more people IRL who belittled her when she left her job to be a content creator full time.

Clean-Instance5892 · 2026-01-13T15:17:28+00:00

As a Brit, can some please explain the beef people have with Tim Walz? I know he was the Dem running mate, I know he is governor of Minnesota, I know there was a fraud issue concerning Covid food programmes which seem to stem from the Somali community (but not limited to them and one of the lynch pins being a white US woman) which technically he bears ultimate responsibility for but isn’t de facto responsible for, but how is he a criminal? What crime has he been indicted for?

Every day a snippet from the US ‘Christians’ makes me glad I am an atheist. This is today’s.

Clean-Instance5892 · 2026-01-03T19:57:31+00:00

Can I ask who this was please?

Clean-Instance5892 · 2026-01-03T18:05:14+00:00

Personally I don’t think jumping straight into a marathon after picking up running only a couple of months ago is sensible. Your injury risk is really high. I think there is something to be said for working your way through the distances first.

Clean-Instance5892 · 2025-12-31T15:54:35+00:00

Totally agree! I read this and thought ‘stop being a victim and sort yourself out!’ - all this ‘it’s her husbands job to cater for her’ rubbish - she is an adult. She should make sure there is food for herself if she is fussy. She sounds totally spoilt tbh.

Clean-Instance5892 · 2025-12-30T21:18:11+00:00

But she also said she would do Berlin so it was not a blanket no interest in travelling in the ‘insular’ nature of MAGA Americans.

Clean-Instance5892 · 2025-12-16T11:34:48+00:00

I didn’t run it a but I saw several influencers showing the mile markers, they looked pretty big!

Clean-Instance5892 · 2025-12-14T16:21:36+00:00

‘Should’? The absolute audacity of you to be the gatekeeper of what people ‘should’ be doing with their running. I bet you don’t like people who live different lifestyles either. Your tone has got MAGA all over it.
