Nope they are still 'Working on it' - its really difficult case of ... *Checks notes* ... The exact same thing he does 5 times a week to random people whose time is 1 minute different to a chip time.
There has to be some kind of pay off or affiliation to Ben Parker. The matcha and cinnamon bun running community finding out that Runna is literally founded on a scam would do irreversible damage to his brand as the run club final boss.
Yes there has got to be. I can't believe it's actually him because the tone is just all wrong (and surely no one would be that degree of epic stupud that they would set up an account that picked on people doing EXACTLY what they did themselves?)
But it must be a mate or someone begging for a Runna role or something
What I find amazing is that people like Fenton and Cole are walking around like the top dogs with people falling at their feet saying "OMG so fast" and they lap it up but theyre literally 35th in UK or something. Not even the world. the UK! This is not Sub elite! It is also ran material.
Imagine the 35th ranked British tennis player or the 35th ranked British Pickleball player walking around acting like Fenton, going on a "training camp" to Spain and taking themselves as seriously as Cole or Bester. They'd (rightly) be laughed off the internet, yet for some reason a bunch of also ran runners seem to be getting a lot of attention.
To be fair, the 35th best English footballer is probably someone like Jack Grealish and he is world famous, worth millions and has lots of sponsors. Yes it helps that he’s a lot more handsome than Fenton but still, there’s hope for him yet. His calves are probably nearly as defined.
If he wants to progress, he needs to do the following:
- Get a cooler haircut
- Go to Turkey for some new teeth
- Date a string of Love Island contestants
- After a key race get absolutely battered and create some funny content
Job done.
Horrible reading comprehension and incredibly disrespectful to grealish. Myles lewis Skelly is more in the range of 35th best English footballer
He's talking about trying for 64:30 at Berlin Half and ticking off sub 30 10k
Those times last year would have ranked him 33rd/129th in UK last year. Is that elite? Probably not quite, but the half marathon time would be getting him pretty close.
The weirdest thing is wrapping your head around the idea that Hugo Fry is already way clear of that, currently sitting 10th for HM this year and while his current time of 63:30 could drift to around 20th by the end of the year, with his progression so far it feels like he could run 62:xx in the next 9 months.

If a Brit, told any other Brit they were the 35th best Pickleball player in the UK, they would immediately be asked what the fook Pickleball is.
Hopefully Aubrey's recent cameos on the Running Channel don't become a permanent fixture
There couldn't be anything more boring than being a 6 star finisher. Well done you (most likely) paid an operator extortionate amounts to run 6 (or 7!) marathons. Great. Its a bit like climbing Everest.
There are a couple of academic studies which try to classify different competition levels.
As I remember, world class is the group that make it to the olympics or word champs. In athletics that's roughly top 30-40. Next, elite would be those close to qualifying standard so maybe top 300 in the world. Everyone else is competitive or recreational. But I suppose sub-elite sounds better.
Did that OMTIU or whatever it calls itself account ever come back about Parker or are they still claiming to be 'looking into it'?
I'm going to comment on one of his new posts soon to really highlight the only purpose of his profile, which is making followers and profit using others naive people details, really and truly that page shouldn't exist on Instagram but everyone seem to love what he is doing cause people love gossip.
Anyone know whatever happened to Patrick Martin? Ran London 2025, got injured and disappeared off the face of the earth.
He ran "steady" every day. Stupid mileage. Got injured. Took time off. Came back and ran "steady" every day. Got injured. A tale as old as time.
Put him in the category with Matt Rees as runners who say they have the "secret sauce" and tell everyone how great they and their training is and then disappear under a rock when things dont go well

There’s no pay off they are just so far up all the runfluencers butts they can’t see the light. Busy calling out someone small for a 10 second 5k difference but would let the likes of Mary mc Carthy claim her 16:XX loop of the park. Certain profile they won’t touch as they wanna be accepted so bad. The fact they have set up paid tier versions of the page is crazy and shows they’re just a grifter too, it was never about integrity.

Good luck to Josh Jogs in barcelona this weekend. Sure he’d rather be running london but his lies caught up with him and his life ban from the event will forever be hilarious. Hes been trying to break 2:40 for 3 years. Can’t tell you for free it wont be happening this weekend either. And a reminder, Tommy Nepo Trees and Becky Boring Briggs supported him during and after his lies and pretended like nothing happened. Yet they both claim to be good for the sport? Funny as fock when Briggs plays the angel card on insta. This girl can etc etc. Dont think she’s friends with McCarthy anymore either. Perhaps because shes friend with her ex? I dont know

Fenton and his partner are so evenly matched, appearance and personality, that they seem like brother and sister. That said, I would enjoy the day that this tiny corner of internet fame spreads to Fenton thinking he should be pulling attractive women, love island contestant wannabe level - that sort of drama would bring me back to his channel.
