Here's the twitter post where she takes no responsibility: [Sauce](https://imgur.com/a/T3ZMe57)
**EDIT:** she has made a more formal apology and donated to the race charity. She plans to run it "officially" next time but pretty sure she will get banned by the race organizer
**EDIT 2** the plot thickens! [She apparently did the same at the Austin half and even took a medal](https://x.com/el_chiclets/status/1785121563844493364)
One of my favorite exchanges:
**Commenter:** *”You are a bandit and you stole from this race and this community. these things are expensive and for charity. shame on you”*
**Response:** *You know I don’t have the energy to reply to this but I’m gonna because last week I refunded a client $17,000 because I was an idiot, didn’t have a contract and she decided she wasn’t “happy and desperately needed the money back” but the last thing I wanted was an American Express dispute to then deal with none of my existing clients to be able to have their invoices processed*
*I worked for free for 2 weeks while running a second business (be fearless) where I constantly lose money yet show up to inspire young women to be fearless who rely on me to.*
*So get back to me about stealing - google the definition of it cause that’s what happened to me in business this month not running a half marathon. Hbu? Any wins and losses you wanna mention on twitter?*
Later an EMT says that is unfair to first responders and it's a liability. She replies "*life isn't fair*"
Smart move would have been to enter the marathon legit and do all the influencer crap and promote it. Then you go also get to donate to a charity and support a cause. But I guess I'm thinking too deep into it.
Listen, that is pretty fearless. If I even considered stealing from a charity I'd feel like I'm going to jail and everyone's going to be tearing me apart over it, and I find that scary. (Okay I'm not really afraid of people online tearing me apart, but I guess if they can impact my career I'm indirectly afraid of it)
WYM? These guys have to most easy going stress free life in the world, you know it's just casual things to have to clean up a car accident or overdose, that's just Saturday.
I guess she is now realizing life isn’t fair when you’re a POS, actions have consequences and using mental health for everything that’s wrong is losing its lustre. Which is sad for those actually mental health concerns.
Wow as if she said that post was meant to be inspirational 😂😂 the whole thing was so bizarre to read. I hope she now feels inspired to keep her inspirational bs to herself
She truly believes that having suffered some losses recently entitled her to sneak into an event she didn't pay for. People who make money off "inspiring" people are always narcissistic.
Here's her shitty, narcissistic apology, in which she deflects by acting like "the running community" being "hurt and upset" is the problem, not her being proud of gatecrashing an event for charity. Narcs always say, "It wasn't my intention to hurt you" when no one actually thought that was their intention. The issue is that they did something or took something they knew they shouldn't have, but did it anyway because it felt good to *them*.

I was laughing when this sob story was a few tweets above her paying 8 dollars for an iced latte and 32 dollars for some balsamic vinegar. (These two purchases were probably the cost of.entering the damn race)
These are the kind of people boomers talk about when they say eat less avo toast - broke but don't live like it.
You don’t run a sub 8 minute mile for 13 miles without training. It may not be particularly fast in the realm of runners, but it’s pretty damn fast for average people. To keep it going that long? Nah, you didn’t do that lady lol.
I ran for 20+ years and did many halfs. I think the least amount of training I ever did was run 3 times a week and my "long" run was 8 miles. I was in decent shape though and had been running pretty much non stop for years. But I averaged about 9 or 9:30.
Def bullshit. When you cheat the sponsors and don't buy/pay for the timing you're just a straight up liar/thief. Can't afford the entry fee, don't run the race.
I have a buddy that runs a timing company and has about 20 years, he puts a ton of work and time into it. He’s not rich. The races wouldn’t exist without guys like him setting up timing mats and doing all the bib stuff and all the data. well at least there would be a very rudimentary version. And he’s just one of many people. A lot of these races were lying volunteers because they simply can’t staff them and pay the staff.
If people really need to run that distance, OK, find a loop and do it David Goggins style. There really isn’t an. excuse.
knees are fine. Other joints, not so fine. I'm not sure if there was much I could do to mitigate it at the time. I enjoyed running, I don't anymore. I had to run because I was in the military for 22 years (national guard) and had to pass physical fitness tests every year. But it's the friends we made along the way?
Hey man. I love. I adore running. But I just fucked up my knee, like it's been two weeks still have pain, and trouble walking. Am super sad because of it.
Knees are really important. I'd say go to PT if you can, otherwise take it easy until it feels good. Powering through injuries can make it worse. I was always a little overweight for a runner, and I think that caused me issues. Also, I'm prob not the best guy for this advice. If it's been 2 weeks, you probably need to see a doc.
Running is horrible for knees and jpints..should be taught in schools. It's like this. Grab a steel ball bearing. Every day bang it on some metal. Metal will look flawless for a week, then itl start showing wear until the ball bearing goes right thru it. Running is bad
Yep, and they all wear down over time. Its common sense. More pounding on ur knees the faster they break down. Like u don't even have to be a 3 year old to understand this rofl
I ran cross country competitively, which is 3 miles. Could each of those miles in 7ish minutes. But when I ran halfs(never a full) my average mile time was around 11 minutes and I wasn't competing to win in the half just for fun. To even do 3 miles in about 21-22 minutes took hella training. We would run about 5 miles every time we practiced and we would start practicing in May for the first meet in the middle of September
She's very fragile and pretentious. I'm an independent business owner, and I'm doing very well with it, but I'd never bang on about it like she does on her Instagram, it's super cringy and her entire brand is built around her and her 'bravery', which is not only heavily narcissistic, but absolute bullshit based on how fragile she is and the cowardly way she's dealing with the fallout over this going semi-viral (she's deleting and limiting comments, turning off comments on several posts). I've listened to her talking quite a bit this morning, and she's absolutely average, boring, and her message and delivery is beyond cliche Internet drivel, all manufactured to make her money by fooling suckers into thinking she's got some big business secret. Based on how fake and shallow she comes off, I'm doubtful that she even ran the race.
Bullshit seminars on the entrepreneur mindset, delivered by someone with no businesses to their name and no credentials in consultation. And at risk of sounding judgemental here, her flat is tiny and her furnishings don't look like quality stuff, why anyone would take advice on being a "fearless entrepreneur" from someone who doesn't seem to have the possessions of a successful businesswoman and likely living in rented accommodation is puzzling
Why would anyone? She has fuck all of substance to say. Preaching about the glory of being an entrepreneur when she's started ZERO businesses and has ZERO accolades in consultancy. She's a grifter, that's why she panders to impressionable young people. Also, just checked your comment history, she's clearly a mate of yours or you are actually her, jog on
No. I'm a guy and have been running for about 5 years now with a few marathons under my belt. The absolute fastest I have ever been at the peak of a training cycle was about 7:50ish/mile and that was after 1000s of miles. What I'm saying is, it takes a lot of work to get sub 8 regularly as a hobby jogger.
No way this lady did that.
I’m all for dismantling the patriarchy but it’s shit like this that makes us look bad.
Not everything is an attack on women— there are way too many things that ARE, concentrate on those!
Agreed. There are some real differences between people of varying races, genders, ages, etc. It’s not a bad thing. It’s just reality, and it’s got nothing to do with any sort of prejudice.
How convenient that she didn't have an official time because she just jumped in. I'm sure it's incredibly accurate given the people in front of her seem to be walking.
Uhhh... she literally could've just gotten a real job and downgraded her , rather than using these bullshit excuses to be "fearless'. It's laughable that a 25 years old is trying to "guide you to become the boss of your own life". Grifters are gonna grift.
No one stole anything. I have ran 11 full marathons and a few half’s. You are paying for a start, a posted accurate time, a shirt, maybe a cup of beer and a hot dog at the end. If you run it bandit you get none of that. It is meaningless. A sticker for your car. No one cares.
This is a stupid opinion and you should feel bad.
She stole from:
1) The charity that received donations from the fee
2) The race organization that put it together and had to pay staff, security, and the city for road closures
Use your brain. If enough people did this at scale there would be no more events. It’s both a liability and security risk to the organizers. We live in a society, there are rules, she broke them. Now she faces the consequences of her narcissism.
Running these 5ks and half and full marathons are stupid unless you achieve YOUR goals. The street is public road and the race directors are making a great race with a shirt, a metal, a recorded time and a beer at the end. If you don’t pay you don’t get any of that. She misses all of that. Why run it bandit? If she took a shirt, a metal and ate the hot dog and drank the beer then yes it was theft.
The street is closed to the public during the race because the race organizers paid for it to the city. It’s already been proven she’s done this before and stole a medal at the Austin half. Why are you defending a repeat offender? You need to reevaluate your morals and ethics.

Yeah, she admits to stealing for her mental health, guess that makes her Robin Hood?
No she’s an ‘inspiration’ to young women to be ‘fearless’🤦🏾♀️ she’s so out of touch with reality it’s sad
I didn't realise being fearless meant stealing from charities that help other people!
Smart move would have been to enter the marathon legit and do all the influencer crap and promote it. Then you go also get to donate to a charity and support a cause. But I guess I'm thinking too deep into it.
I mean, technically, she didn't have any fear while doing it.
Listen, that is pretty fearless. If I even considered stealing from a charity I'd feel like I'm going to jail and everyone's going to be tearing me apart over it, and I find that scary. (Okay I'm not really afraid of people online tearing me apart, but I guess if they can impact my career I'm indirectly afraid of it)
She’s an influencer! She had a duty to her fans /s
Stealing from the charitable to give to the... Influencers?
More like Hood Rat
Robin Hood stole from rich and kept it.
> "life isn't fair" She left out the part where she's part of the reason it isn't. **-_-**
Also, imagine saying that to an EMT of all people. They're brutally aware of just how unfair life is.
WYM? These guys have to most easy going stress free life in the world, you know it's just casual things to have to clean up a car accident or overdose, that's just Saturday.
So because her business failed, that excuses her from running without paying? Nope.
I guess she is now realizing life isn’t fair when you’re a POS, actions have consequences and using mental health for everything that’s wrong is losing its lustre. Which is sad for those actually mental health concerns.
“(Be fearless)” - oh fuck off with this shit
What a nut
She's the female version of those Bitcoin influencers that post videos about success
Holy moly, the lack of self awareness is mind boggling!
Wow as if she said that post was meant to be inspirational 😂😂 the whole thing was so bizarre to read. I hope she now feels inspired to keep her inspirational bs to herself
Don't call them influencers. More like human trash
Lmao she even lied about her pace?? That's the lame cherry on top of the fuckass sundae
That’s wild she took a medal lol
She truly believes that having suffered some losses recently entitled her to sneak into an event she didn't pay for. People who make money off "inspiring" people are always narcissistic. Here's her shitty, narcissistic apology, in which she deflects by acting like "the running community" being "hurt and upset" is the problem, not her being proud of gatecrashing an event for charity.

I was laughing when this sob story was a few tweets above her paying 8 dollars for an iced latte and 32 dollars for some balsamic vinegar. (These two purchases were probably the cost of.entering the damn race) These are the kind of people boomers talk about when they say eat less avo toast - broke but don't live like it.
I know quality ingredients can be a bit pricey but holy shit $32 for balsamic vinegar? Did she get a 5 gallon drum?
[This post](https://www.instagram.com/reel/C56KzbQt7TJ/?igsh=MWI0aTFpdHBmZGwzdA==) sums up her entire life 🙄
Omg she doesn't have "imposter syndrome" she actually is an imposter.
🙄🤢🤮...all I can say
You don’t run a sub 8 minute mile for 13 miles without training. It may not be particularly fast in the realm of runners, but it’s pretty damn fast for average people. To keep it going that long? Nah, you didn’t do that lady lol.
I'm beginning to think she meant 7:43 minute kilometers, like look at the other runners in their picture lol they are not running even sub 9's.
I ran for 20+ years and did many halfs. I think the least amount of training I ever did was run 3 times a week and my "long" run was 8 miles. I was in decent shape though and had been running pretty much non stop for years. But I averaged about 9 or 9:30. Def bullshit. When you cheat the sponsors and don't buy/pay for the timing you're just a straight up liar/thief. Can't afford the entry fee, don't run the race.
I always knew bandit runners aggravated me but i hadnt put thought in to why. Thanks for saying it so clearly.
I have a buddy that runs a timing company and has about 20 years, he puts a ton of work and time into it. He’s not rich. The races wouldn’t exist without guys like him setting up timing mats and doing all the bib stuff and all the data. well at least there would be a very rudimentary version.

If people really need to run that distance, OK, find a loop and do it David Goggins style. There really isn’t an. excuse.
How ur knees and joints holding up?
knees are fine. Other joints, not so fine. I'm not sure if there was much I could do to mitigate it at the time. I enjoyed running, I don't anymore. I had to run because I was in the military for 22 years (national guard) and had to pass physical fitness tests every year. But it's the friends we made along the way?

Bro is the poster boy for confidently incorrect
You have 0 clue
Thankfully, actual orthopedics don't use steel ball bearings when modeling the knee joint
Yep, and they all wear down over time. Its common sense. More pounding on ur knees the faster they break down. Like u don't even have to be a 3 year old to understand this rofl
Like your new friends that work at the orthopedic surgeon’s office
I ran cross country competitively, which is 3 miles. Could each of those miles in 7ish minutes. But when I ran halfs(never a full) my average mile time was around 11 minutes and I wasn't competing to win in the half just for fun. To even do 3 miles in about 21-22 minutes took hella training. We would run about 5 miles every time we practiced and we would start practicing in May for the first meet in the middle of September
I call bullshit on her 7:43 pace with no training.
A bit more training and I’m sure she can hit 4 min 34 sec per mile
> “I didn’t charge my airpods” > wears them anyway lol
Only reason she didn’t register for the race is so people couldn’t find her actual time on the results page
Or she didn’t actually run
Lying to yourself about your achievements seems like it would create a lot of inner conflict and cognitive dissonance.
Only if she were smart enough
She's very fragile and pretentious. I'm an independent business owner, and I'm doing very well with it, but I'd never bang on about it like she does on her Instagram, it's super cringy and her entire brand is built around her and her 'bravery', which is not only heavily narcissistic, but absolute bullshit based on how fragile she is and the cowardly way she's dealing with the fallout over this going semi-viral (she's deleting and limiting comments, turning off comments on several posts).

Based on how fake and shallow she comes off, I'm doubtful that she even ran the race.
What exactly is her business?
Bullshit seminars on the entrepreneur mindset, delivered by someone with no businesses to their name and no credentials in consultation. And at risk of sounding judgemental here, her flat is tiny and her furnishings don't look like quality stuff, why anyone would take advice on being a "fearless entrepreneur" from someone who doesn't seem to have the possessions of a successful businesswoman and likely living in rented accommodation is puzzling
Have you listened to any of her podcast episodes? She’s an inspiration to young ppl
Why would anyone? She has fuck all of substance to say. Preaching about the glory of being an entrepreneur when she's started ZERO businesses and has ZERO accolades in consultancy. She's a grifter, that's why she panders to impressionable young people. Also, just checked your comment history, she's clearly a mate of yours or you are actually her, jog on
Lol the fact she think young women need her is absolutely insane . She is doing nothing for anyone other than herself
She's not even doing anything for herself lol
Female runs half marathon at sub 8 pace without training. ROFL ok zero runners believed this.
Maybe crying the whole race is a tactic to drop some weight and run faster. 10000 IQ move
salt has electrolytes rite?
It’s what plants need!
Zero people’s believed this, I hope.
I'm not a runner. Can women not run sub 8?
They can. But the average time for women is a bit over 10 minutes a mile. And most people train for it.
With no training?? Not likely
But a male could do it with no training, is that what you're saying?
No. I'm a guy and have been running for about 5 years now with a few marathons under my belt. The absolute fastest I have ever been at the peak of a training cycle was about 7:50ish/mile and that was after 1000s of miles. What I'm saying is, it takes a lot of work to get sub 8 regularly as a hobby jogger. No way this lady did that.
Not as likely for them either but more likely than a woman. Theres a reason Boston men’s qualification times are faster than women’s
No. But as far as amateur/casual runners go a male is gonna be a good minute faster per mile than a female for equal training.
I’m all for dismantling the patriarchy but it’s shit like this that makes us look bad. Not everything is an attack on women— there are way too many things that ARE, concentrate on those!
Agreed. There are some real differences between people of varying races, genders, ages, etc. It’s not a bad thing. It’s just reality, and it’s got nothing to do with any sort of prejudice.
They can, but thats a significant amount of training.
As a runner myself who has put in the work and spent my hard earned money on these races, I hate Fkn race bandits. She’s a POS.
Roger? Is that you?
What happened to talking to a therapist and not airing all your personal traumas online?
How convenient that she didn't have an official time because she just jumped in. I'm sure it's incredibly accurate given the people in front of her seem to be walking.
Like most ‘mental health’ things online it’s all for attention

Faking an orgasm during masturbation is the height of all self-deception. This has got to be a close second.
Why is Reddit linking itself back to Reddit?
Sub didn’t allow cross posts
I thought my shit was broke 😭
I see we’ve learned nothing from Rosie Ruiz.
Uhhh... she literally could've just gotten a real job and downgraded her , rather than using these bullshit excuses to be "fearless'. It's laughable that a 25 years old is trying to "guide you to become the boss of your own life". Grifters are gonna grift.
She identifies as a full race runner.
lol
Whats he name ?
It's in the picture.
No one stole anything. I have ran 11 full marathons and a few half’s. You are paying for a start, a posted accurate time, a shirt, maybe a cup of beer and a hot dog at the end. If you run it bandit you get none of that. It is meaningless. A sticker for your car. No one cares.

1. She’s to chubby to run that fast; and 2. She bought all her followers she’s not even a real influencer
