Why is Molly Huddle one of the the least-discussed US female runners on this board?

Her win last weekend in the Boston 5k is a great prediction of outstanding things to come for her this year. She ran great in her half-marathon debut last month in NYC, showing she has plenty of strength to compliment her great kick.

The year Molly broke the 5k AR (2010) she was able to string together a lot of high quality training/racing. In an interview last weekend Molly said her lofty goals are to PR in the 5k and 10k.

My prediction: 14:38 and 30:55 in 2014.

re: underrated

I love that girl, but man she is one of the most low-key, self-deprecating women around. It's as if her only form of personal intensity is the second half of a race, which may be part of her secret. She doesn't waste energy except where it really counts.

I think that she is one of the athletes that is really benefiting from a long-term relationship with one, very experienced coach (like Meb, Deena, Willis, Rupp, etc. ad nauseum).

re: underrated

Definitely think she can lower her AR in a perfect race.

re: underrated

ja, I'm hoping that switching up her training for the half marathon will give her a midcareer breakthrough. that fast road 5k tells me that it might.

She is probably close to AR shape right now so I don't think it is going to take magic. If her trend line continues, she should run 14:30 mid this year.

I know. I'm going to hell for saying that. I really don't mean any disrespect, it's an inside joke.
