Floberg just dropped a 4:40 on an uncalibrated road.
He will be ecstatic at that which shows his utter lack of running intelligence. A 4:40 (if it was even a measured mile) is the equivalent of a 2:34 marathon. He is not where he thinks he needs to be but he doesn't even realise it
I’m close to Floberg’s marathon speed but I did a 4:40 road mile last year off 25 miles a week and a few track workouts. He should be much faster.

Floberg is pathetic and will take any result he can to spin it as a win for himself so that his followers can glaze him even harder. Just look at the Strava comments he gets when he runs a 4:40. It’s embarassing lmao. And you know the man loves feeding his ego. It’s truly cringeworthy what he posts. It’s like he legitimately has no clue what he’s doing ever for anything and thinks it’s going well. You know a guy is really low IQ when all he can say is “we fit” and “core memory” over and over. The guy acts like he’s an artist but he’s just a generic wannabe chad bro. That poor poor family. Stop putting the camera on your children and wife bro ffs
Hopefully nothing serious and a speedy recovery for London!
On the other hand, Ben is begging is off to Mallorca to see Mike Ashley and sit together and look at the books.
I really like Cole and hope he hasn’t got anything serious like a femoral stress fracture. However…. I don’t think his current training levels are sustainable, so it also wouldn’t surprise me if something is wrong. Fingers crossed it’s a quick fix and he gets back on track for London.
Only Fordy could make a beautiful place like Iceland look dull in his latest vlog
Has he addressed why he isn't running? Is he injured?
I'm sure he'll take one of the Fordy Runs club places at London and "walk it in with the boys"
How does that Hayden guy who hangs around him make a living? He seems to be travelling around the globe running mediocre times with a very small social media presence
Very excited to watch floberg’s 40min breakdown video on this where he: finds excuses for why he ran slower, why the mile race a day before makes sense training wise, why he is faster than 26min 8k and that he’ll have no time goal for a marathon but he still wants break 2:30 and can’t bc he’s illogical, says he loves the community several times, and somehow incorporates scenes of his wife and children into the running related video for no reason!
it’s quite funny how there’s many men and women(!) in the local Chicago scene are running way faster than blowberg, with normal jobs and probably more responsibilities in life, and yet they don’t feel any need to make it a cinematic spectacle or try to make everything so dramatic and self centered. The ego on this guy is truly delusional and something is wrong with him how he obsesses over broadcasting everything on social media and acting like he’s friends with everyone in the running community.
meanwhile he continues to scam people for $150+/month for fake coaching. deplorable and an embarrassment to the running scene honestly. cancel this bloke

It was great for me to see mr. bloberg in the elite tent this morning (that he didn't have the standard for but snuck into by joining the B team of a local group which allows you access). Seeing him dap up all his "boys" was legendary
he’s such a clown lmao. that’s just very pathetic if he was in the elite tent. he’s either oblivious and truly clueless, or he’s just a douchebag who doesn’t realize how cringe his behavior is. I bet he felt special and cool. he needs validation all the time - such insecure behavior from a grown ahh man. M dude is such a walking joke.
he has to pay for bots on his followers. who are the insane people that really comment “nice work wow!” or “this video is so inspiring omg”. Delulu behavior truly
He definitely has no business coaching anyone else when he keeps going against his own coach's suggestions only to blow up and come short of his goals time after time.
Sort of a dumb thing about the elite tent in the race is that it's also the "club competition" tent that you can get in by being on any random team. So you end up with Moh Ahmed in the same tent as 28 minute guys
My favorite thing about Flowy is that he bases so much off of his treadmill times and repeatedly sets himself up for failure. You are what your race times are. Always an excuse when he doesn’t hit his times. Stick to uncalibrated treadmill racing and bots in your comments Flowy, you can’t handle the real world.
Only spotted globerunnergriff's Bath Half result this morning
His HM progression (ignoring races where he did a follow up HM a week or two after a proper effort):
Mar 24 - Newport 76:11
Jun 24 - Swansea 74:14
Oct 24 - Cardiff 71:04
Mar 25 - Fleet 73:47 (seems to have had a knee injury around here, derailed his London marathon sub 2:30 attempt, he did still finish in 2:50)
Oct 25 - Cardiff 71:45
Oct 25 - Valencia 69:25
Mar 26 - Bath 67:05
Judging by other runners' Bath results, I think that 67:05 might be worth 65:50ish on a nicer course with less wind.
He just dipped under 2:30 for Valencia marathon three months ago. Now seems to be in shape to have a potential crack at 2:20-2:22 for London?
Oh wow, very impressive. FOD got at 70:xx today for a PB so Griff has surpassed him now (think they train in the same area?) . I know both have done videos with Welsh runner before so assume they know each other. Shame we don’t seem much FOD/ Welsh runner collab content any more. They used to be good.
Griff Duncan don’t worry, you still remain our fave Griffy bae here. We will celebrate so hard when you go sub 3. Although I fancy Run The Planet might beat you to it after a stunning 2:33 - 20miler at Croft flat race track.
Andy/FOD Runner with a huge half marathon PB of 70:39. Well done.
For a big man he can get it done at HM. I know he should be running a faster marathon than he has but with his frame/weight it is a nightmare ask for the sub 2:30 he should probably be achieving
