Philly's latest video was a completely disingenuous attempt to pretend she has the same worries as a traditional pro who’s injured. She’s acting as though she’s the spokesperson for professional runners.
Historically, Phily has repeatedly said she earns the majority of her income from YouTube activities and coaching. Yet, for the sake of the video, she flipped the narrative to imply she makes most of her money from a standard pro running contract.
Yes, no one wants to be injured, and it sucks. However, Phily, despite being injured and not having run an elite time for 18 months, has signed what we can assume is the most lucrative deal of her career. Ironically, her contract may well now be her biggest source of income - however, she's stated historically this is not the case! Furthermore, her YouTube engagement remains high. It’s almost as if she’s so desperate to identify as a pro that she’s stealing their the worries and stress a traditional pro would have nearing the end of their contract.
