Just watched Truett Hanes most recent video. Around 5:30 in he starts running mile repeats. He seemingly stops almost 20-30m short… maybe this is why he doesn’t film many workouts
Truett is now injured per his recent Instagram post. I really thought he was impervious to the effects of 120 mile weeks due to all the gear, but apparently the bones don't care.
Somewhat of a bizarre choice to offer multiple thirst traps of his wife to reveal the news of an overuse injury. But I guess par for the course with this clown. Always has to be bragging about something.
Chances of an OTQ I put at less than zero. How otherwise sensible people like Everett Smulders thought he ever had a chance is beyond me

Former Weslfy CEO's brain's infected with foot fungus from years o' toe suckin' back in the day. Hate to see it but happens to the best o' us. Jus' hope he don't do too much damage to his rear end as well from all this damn meat ridin' he's doin' for Truett! Lotta IG runners gonna have sore hind ends from that in the comin' months. I guarantee that's gonna happen while that OTQ sure as hell ain't!
Ok tell me the job JD has? Posting cringe motivational videos and dropping discount codes isn’t a job. Steven working at a special needs school is a job. Carol working as a nurse at the nhs is a job. Rachel working as an accountant for PWC is a job. Truly, do you think what JD is doing is a job? It’s a vanity scheme focusing on self promotion through dumbasess like us watching his b*llocks content.

Take a breather, I purely asked how you was sure he doesn’t have a job, which you aren’t.
JD is technically self-employed.
But, assuming he’s just an influencer is naive.
I know he’s been involved in property for some years now, who knows what else he has going on.
It’s crazy how obvious it is the majority of runfluencers don’t actually like running and simply like the attention and kudos.
Goddard openly says “all the easy stuff in the week is crap, I think no one really likes it but it’s just a box tick”
personally jogging is very enjoyable and probably my favourite part.
if you hate ~ EIGHTY PERCENT of your hobby, why would you do it
I don't think that "easy running" is just a "box tick" but I must admit, it's the part I least like.
I've been a competitive runner for over 60 years, always enjoyed hard runs, particularly loved track intervals, but always found the easy runs a (necessary) drag.
I have to say that I never did 80% of my runs at "easy" more like a couple of times a week.
Ok Mrs Fenton. It’s wild how quickly the comments come on here to defend Fenton’s gf about her appearance, no other person gets the same response. Despite a ton of comments about other people’s appearance on here. She’s also a YouTube personality btw, active in his videos But now - someone implies she’s not hot enough for Love Island and that gets backlash? Ridiculous.
But, whatever. Fenton is ugly. Full stop. I won’t comment on his Mrs.
Comments on appearance / hotness beyond just critiques of style and outfit are punches below the belt. If you do not understand this, you are a low IQ individual. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
The only posts on here getting this number of upvotes is to support not saying Fenton is ugly? is this how you get YouTube money? Clear your cache and watch on repeat? How many VPNs do you use Fenton?
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.
Ease it up on jabs at peoples appearances, especially those who aren't even the runners. It's cheap.
The guy above is always at this, he used to go by 'thehovebummer'. Pops in periodically to insult the appearance of Ben and his partner, people downvote it and say that's not what this forum is for, he gets defensive and then repeats again a couple of months later. He's clearly obsessed with them for some reason as he doesn't appear to target anyone else. Strange little man.

I was thinking about this the other day. I’ve come to the conclusion that the Battersea Park Dumb clubbers like running for different reasons than we traditional hobby joggers.
For them, it’s all about the “vibes” and meeting up for a perfect session, taking selfies, wearing the perfect outfit, going one more, then enjoying a pastry and matcha from an overpriced bakery to live their “best life”. It’s almost like they are scared to embrace the solitary joy of running; Mary Mc recently said she’s never done a long run on her own. It's triggering because the whole thing is performative and has a "we are reclaiming running and making it cool" feel.
I think they need to reclaim hobby jogging in this way, as running around a park in London is inherently dull. None the less, they are annoying; however, there is worse, probably way more fun though, things they could be doing at their age!
I'm glad we're all still trashing this OMTIU nerd. I've noticed a bunch of instagram mutuals have unfollowed him too. The way he only goes after influencers with a small enough following so he feels he won't get blowback is pathetic. It feels very much like punching down on new rec runners at this stage.
I feel like if he's going to appoint himself the arbiter of timing integrity, he should reveal his identity so we can provide him with the same scrutiny.

>Some nobody with 300 followers does their first marathon in like 4 hours and Strava gives them an automated graphic with their PB which happens to be 40s quicker than their chip time, they unthinkingly screenshot this and share it on their insta: “YOU ARE UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR A TIME MANIPULATION BREACH”
>Guy who runs the most popular AI based training app in the world runs around in circles in the park, claims this is a PB and slaps all over his brands social media that he is a 2:34 marathoner: “Actually guys we’ll pass on this one, it is a very complex issue, we’re still investigating it, due process is very important and it was a long time ago, the case is still under review 🤓 “

I cannot believe someone running “20 years” (as they liked to repeat over and over when people criticised her stupid overtraining) has never done a long run alone. That is insane.

As instagram broken as Truett's brain is, his gear-addled dad is inarguably worse. Dude acts like he invented hard work (from what I can tell he's a clout chasing podcaster who jogs a couple miles a week?) and thinks that he's the father of the year for having a nepo-baby kid with a meaningless pull up record. In Truett's video a few weeks back, Cam hops out of their "workout" (like two fast-ish miles with tons of talking about how hard they are working and how no one wants it like they do in between) to take a piss when he gets dropped. Then he stands around and makes about 5 excuses for why his mile PR isn't faster. Keep Yammering Cam, we've all seen your blog post admitting to taking PEDs.
As for why anyone ever thought that Truett could OTQ, I think a lot of people were afraid to say he couldn't because anyone who even suggested it was a stretch had about 500 wannabes in "its just pain" hats jumping in their comments (and conversely if they said he could do it, the jug hooters hooted a jug accordingly). Plus Cam set up a coordinated media campaign for his short king son that was gassing him up on every platform. And finally, people probably assumed he was just going to go hard on the testosterone and peptide combo he was already using and not try to train at like a 2,000 calorie a day deficit like a complete idiot.
At the end of the day, the data point that people cited the most for why Truett was going to OTQ was the dumbest: He took that pullup record from Goggins who has a 2:55 PR. It's far, far more likely our boy is on his way to shuffling around on bad knees with a stride that looks like he's holding in a dump at all times than the Olympic Trials Marathon. Hey, he really gave it a go for about six weeks though, lol.
I’m tired of the constant claims that Goddard is behind OMTIU. It’s baseless and defamatory.
Anyone who reads that account can see it shows a far stronger command of spelling and sentence structure than Goddard is capable of.
Funny you say this because he actually spelt his own name incorrectly on UKCH when filing for his run club business, an earlier comment about Bournemouth uni falls to mind...

McCarthy will be back in battersea park very very soon after a stint in ‘Syders’ as she call its. Then again, I forgot she had a stressy. Watch out roads, be wary of a cyclist screaming ‘beaaaat the boyz!!!”. God forbid.
