Gotta sting for the team makou lads to be giving it all to running and only running for years to be beaten by a triathlete and cyclist.
Whelan’s run was phenomenal. His gate just flows effortlessly, with so much yet to discover about his running, he could be a future star. Whether it’s on the roads, or maybe he’ll give the track a try, we’ll see!
Sarah checked out all summer as well as Beattie - didnt have the mental minerals/ability to produce what was expected so ducked out
Leonards a serial DNFer - long history of doing it as a youth and stealing GB vests off more deserving athletes who finished XC trial races. I certainly wouldnt have him as the star of the group, a solid Euro XC and road 10km in Jan disguise a poor run of form since
The GB sub-elite dislike this bunch as they have everything on a plate yet constantly moan, and are not producing decent results. The training is to soft which shows in the races yesterday. Rory and Scott would be better off jumping to Ireland and training with Gidey. Obviously hes got Ethiopian genes so they will never be on his level. the soft training under Hobdell is clearly not working for either of them
Gidey trains in Ethiopia the majority of the time I think. Always seems to be a what’s said on Irish podcasts etc.

He's a triathlete... clearly the biggest upside for him is in triathlon.
I reckon they earn way more that you think -- they are deffo not scraping a living. Beats working a middle management job.
I know we love bashing influencers, and fair enough for a lot of them, lol but when it comes to money, I have to keep it factual when it’s worth it for the conversation.
Phily is absolutely raking it in, and her value is only going up. I’ve been a follower since before she went to Oregon uni and have watched her content career evolve, and my view on that alone, is that it’s incredibly calculated, impressive and financially will be rewarding.

very embarassing. where will Team Mickey Mouse go from here?
surely if its just a "tummy upset" they will get out there this weekend at the Cardiff XC to make up for it.
would be good to see if the other members pull there fingers out there arse and do a race. Elson, Beattie and Weir cant keep hiding, especially with the waterboy James McMurray putting Elson in his back-pocket over the summer, results need to be delivered as the performances are increasingly poor

Philly is deluded. Imagine getting a diagnosis that tells you that after two weeks complete rest you can now start some cross training, you can start a gradual run walk in a couple of weeks is equal to you are fine and could have raced Chicago.
It's a bone stress injury, that's why it hurt , the repeated stress. The probable reason it might not be too bad is she stopped early, but it still needs rest and a gradual build back.
A betting man says she'll have a recurance of the injury next block.
Ps. I'm also amazed she hasn't gone third opinion given she now has one she likes and one she doesn't. Why so sure about the second.
I’d say that’s pretty good going considering it’s as of November 2024.
People always quote the big income numbers like “they’re making $200k" but that figure means almost nothing without context. It’s two people, so already that’s halved. Then you’ve got taxes, no sick pay, no holiday pay, and no job security. They might sell merch, but what’s the actual profit after production, shipping, and fees? And that’s before you even factor in things like agents, managers, publicists, editors, or even their coach (they’re runners, after all) all of whom take a cut. People love to quote revenue like it’s pure profit, but running a creator business is a totally different world from taking home a steady salary.

These accounts show Phily and Daniel likely had around £100K in cash as of last November. Given that nearly a year has passed and their channel has grown significantly, it’s reasonable to estimate they could now be sitting on £200K–£500K.
It’s a mistake to think capital flows towards talent, knowledge, and ability. This has never been the case! It's a great insight into how much these shills earn! It exposes the BS earnings breakdown they do; normally always focusing only on YouTube ad revenue -- omitting coaching, digital products, merchandise, brand deals, affiliate marketing, and Patreon.
Her narrative of a struggling runner risking it all to make the Olympics doesn’t quite add up. Would her patrons still donate their hard-earned money if they knew she was sitting on hundreds of thousands? Promoting useless brands, apps, and training plans to your loyal followers is bad; however, to shill directly from the general public by begging for cash exposes the lack of morals these people have.
You can see why she pushes the Olympic dream story; given she hasn’t run an elite-level time in over a year and probably never will again, she must know it’s now a pipe dream. However, It’s almost like she’s discovered a money glitch! If she can keep it up for a few more years, she could be set for life!

It's interesting when you get to the intersection of my line of work (accounting) and hobby (running).
These are just micro company accounts with no profit or loss figures. They really don't tell you very much (and they're not intended to really).
I'm no Phily fan but about all these accounts tell you is that as of November 2024 they had net assets of about 90k. That's about it. Anything else is just speculation or projection.

Wow - the UK makes private businesses report in as much detail as that? And they make it public?

This is true; having ran a small online business, is it not safe to assume the vast majority of her assets are held in cash? It's not like she needs much in the way of material items (e.g., machinery) !

Seems as the business activities are listed as "Video Production" and neither Phily or her husband seem to be directors of any other companies, isn't it safe to assume this company is where all the creator content money goes, along with any Hoka money (which we know is a creator led sponsorship rather than an athlete sponsorship)?
As someone else says, it's not like they have a warehouse of stock/buildings/vehicles etc so it's fairly safe to assume most of the asset is cash.
And like you say, and unless ive got this wrong, a net of £90K+ after they've paid themselves, their coaches etc etc, I'd say they're doing alright to have that sitting in the bank after all other expenses no?
