No, he didn’t, because he was afraid that when she reached the top she would have no friends and that it would be no longer fun to train with her.
She could have become angry,but she didn’t.Because she knew what her friend said was right and she was pushing the limits too hard.
She did not try to explain because most people would not understand.

We can see that through her descriptions such as “ruining a family holiday because of the endless search for a swimming pool to train in”, “almost missed my brother’s wedding because I was busy hiring a car and driving through the ‘no go’ areas in order to do a group ride with the local triathletes.”
