Did you see her close up running video where she is panting away up close to the screen in very carefully applied make up which has not dislodged despite her allegedly being 7 miles into a 14 mile run. Mr Yawn following behind her on his bike with panniers loaded with hair tongs, lip gloss, foundation, false eyelashes and a full length mirror no doubt.

Don't forget his stepladder as well!!

YouOKHun · 08/07/2023 22:39

I thought about the stepladder @PieonaBarm and thought that if Yawn is now going to insist on running about he might want to invest in some stilts instead of a stepladder. That way he can take flattering shots from above while on the move and therefore can capture all those moments on Yawn’s personal Saxenda fuelled journey. Stilts would be a transferable skill should he decide to run away and join a circus (a different circus to the one he’s currently trapped in).

Sugarplum48 · 08/07/2023 23:17

Que...heading to check yawn in her stopping gear...no wait is it running, walking, jogging...who knows at this point. Even yawn is confused l feel 🤣🤣🤣

Sugarplum48 · 08/07/2023 23:20

Oh jaysus H christ alive...seen it in full glory. She's like the 1980's green goddess in all her finery. Crack on love, crack on.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 08/07/2023 23:37

@PieonaBarm That was expensive wine I just spat across the carpet, but worth every bit of it Grin

CanadianJohn · 09/07/2023 04:12

If I remember correctly, the website describes the events (half and full) as a "hike". Whether walking, running or hiking, all the kit... shoes, socks, shorts, shirt, underwear... should have been worn for a couple of long runs/walks before the event. You don't want to discover, after a few miles, that your new shoes are causing blisters.

On raceday, the marathoner's mantra is "no new is good new".

NormalForNuneaton · 09/07/2023 07:42

In all of Yawn's live running videos she never has a (fake) eyelash out of place does she, despite having a full face of make up. Very suspicious.

Also suspicious....the shape of the Yawn running towards the camera at 9.5 miles is very different to the shape of the Yawn posing by the white Rangey a few Insta stories later

BSintolerant · 09/07/2023 08:14

The sights you see when you haven’t got a gun! 🤣Mr Yawn’s stepladder instantly came to mind, but the thought of him in hot pursuit on a pair of stilts tickles me. I think he could do with a pogo stick for good measure.

BSintolerant · 09/07/2023 08:16

All the gear and no idea! 🤣 Just as well she’s not taken up cycling.

Angrymum22 · 09/07/2023 11:16

Yawn was bleating about addressing a room of a hundred people ,at least, about her weight loss journey. I do hope she let them into her real secret.
Glad to see that my comment about pursuing more sponsorship worked. I would hate to see her efforts be for nothing.

Angrymum22 · 09/07/2023 11:18

Oh and the 1970s tennis visa is just the pits. But then her taste in fashion has always been a bit😬

YouOKHun · 09/07/2023 12:08

Talking of the 1970s, I struggle with Yawn’s tendency to wear American Tan coloured clothes. Hugely unflattering and a bit unnerving as it looks like she hasn’t got anything on at first glance. A bit like this:

Spongebobette · 09/07/2023 12:15

Nurse claims to have a couple of clients lined up for her coaching business

who on earth looks at her and thinks yes, this person, of all the coaches out there, is who I need to help me be successful??!

@YouOKHun I often do a double take in the gym when I see people dressed head to toe in flesh coloured lycra. Was it Gok Wan who said you’ve got to be careful with such colours or you end up looking like a prosthetic limb? I know which limb Yawn reminds me of.

I was having an idle think about Yawns training after the run / walk / cake stop saga the other day and found this training plan for a similar marathon...I think it can be safely said that yawn definitely has all the gear but sadly no idea. Treadmills will definitely not get your feet and ankles ready for hilly / uneven terrain.

She's deffo not done a 16 week training plan. I'm so pleased next weekend is one of my weekends off from my j.o.b and I can keep popping on to watch the absolute car crash unfold in real time!

Howsimplywonderful · 10/07/2023 00:42

Castle doesn’t seem have any more people completing her accreditation course.

She hasn’t added any more IG followers either really.

It’s all gone flat as a pancake.

YouOKHun · 10/07/2023 00:54

@Howsimplywonderful was just wondering if I’d missed any other CPD certificate holders. Not a single one. I wonder how the two or three who were so proud to receive the certificates are feeling about it now because presumably if you were the first ever to receive the certificate you’d be interested in who else follows behind you. The fact no one else has bothered should tell them something.

Howsimplywonderful · 10/07/2023 08:57

Castle has been very quiet about where they are going for the summer.

Sugarplum48 · 10/07/2023 09:33

Yawns sunvisor looks is very reminiscent of the idiotic pta mums l see outside school limbering up for their power walk dressed to the 9's in lycia and lipstick all the while not breaking a drop of perspiration. Yawn has zero idea what's ahead of her.

She's just doing law of attraction. Imply you are successful and people will flock.
During the FLP days she'd boast about 'all the messages she's received about joining her team' and the teamies would never materialise.
Also 'thanks for all your orders' and the unboxing would be stuff for her and her mum and a lip balm for a work colleague.

I'm also confused. She was offering psy therapies wasn't she? Now she's saying she's a coach. Which is it?

NormalForNuneaton · 10/07/2023 11:22

I thought this too.

I reckon she intended to offer therapies but has maybe been scared off when things like qualifications, liability and insurance were pointed out to her.
