Ashley Horner a Fraud ?

The slowtwitch.com groupies are all up in arms over her plan...

Used to look up to her until she lied about the run in Haiti.

There is absolutely no way, she could barely finish a 50 mile trail run. She's only done one half ironman and the time wasn't even competitive for her age group. Half of her strava swims are blatantly faked...

And the best part, she collects and hold ownership interest in the orphanage. So is it a fundraiser for children or herself?

Complete scam. Disgusting. Look her up on athlinks and ultra signup

I will look those up. Im assuming she's been caught for faking? Just went back and saw she claimed a Boston qual too... but her time actually wasn't fast enough.

This says it all

Damaged people.

Just what the world needs another "look at me" I'm going to save the children of Haiti by putting myself through some pseudo-grueling physical endeavor to raise some funds that will not only bring her more Instagram followers, but will likely be misspent on actual humanitarian needs. Vast sums of money have been spent on trying to solve and alleviate poverty across the globe. The sentiments and good intentions to help the poor often do more harm than good. Underlying this desire to advertise one's desire to help are often hypocritical and vain psychological motives. Programs that tackle the long term systemic causes of poverty are the ones that don't look pretty and get the least amount of attention. Haiti has been a basket case for years, politically, economically, and socially. Real change takes time and patience for hearts and minds to change. Actual poverty can be alleviated temporarily fairly easily, but Spiritual poverty is hard to dismantle.

Running with the children of Haiti with your muscles and tattoos is very inspiring.

M.A.G.A...

Especially when the mailing address for the orphanage goes to her location in Virginia Beach ? It's a little concerning what percentage of the money they are seeing ?

But look at me, I can do 50x something I've never accomplished once. It's worth a laugh at least.

"Iron Cowboy" already did 50 Ironmans in 50 states in 50 days. She could at least be more creative and come up with something that hasn't been done.

He had done at least done the distance prior.

A clear case of steroids and other drugs that would make Salazar blush.

It's been done wrote:

Wrong. 49 Ironmans, in 49 states , in 50 days. One day he did it on the elliptical, so it did not count

I feel like he made it much much much closer than she will

This 100% if she was natural and if she was training for something on this scale she would have a completely different body composition without an insane amount of steroid use to hold muscle mass. Or maybe she's just not training ? Just what we need more bodybuilding drugs mixed into endurance sports.

Never heard of this person before. Checking her IG she mentions an old favorite 4:15 miler in a few posts :)(see her 6th latest posting).

So knowing someone who can run doesn't a runner make ?

Will be interested in seeing how she fares in the summer heat if she makes it that far to actually start. Seems she also doesn't have a vehicle or a driver, maybe she's paying for those out of the fundraised funds ?

She already has a contingency plan for bad weather: "A few things I'm worried about: lightning storms, pools closing." But Horner already has a backup plan for making sure she gets the distances done, no excuses. "In that situation, I could just do things in reverse. Or I would have to bike indoors and run on a treadmill. Bottom line, I'm going to do whatever it takes to get it done."

Indoor iron man? That sounds like torture.

Well it seems now it's going to take longer than 50 days, although of course she's not correcting any of the media outlets. My only concern is the address for the fundraising is supposedly going directly to her address it's a little bit shady to say the least. It looks like she isn't adding anything to Strava not that her files were accurate in the first place.. Some of them are blatantly altered and Garmin.

But what does she care? Her audience is just a bunch of moms who have never done any sort of fitness activity, so they're buying and eating up her ridiculous claims. An actual athletes who are achieving amazing things are missing opportunities for media because she chooses to show herself half naked on every other photo on instagram. ?

My shock, the companies that are backing her? Don't they fact check anything?

Clearly you know nothing about successful poverty relief programs about the world.
