Goucher is a JOKE!

Bronze Medal at World's in the 10000m, 4 sub 2:27 performances, 5th all-time American.

Don't forget NCAA XC champ at Colo-fricking-rado under Wetmore. That's got to be worth something.

First American on the podium in NY in 2008 since 1994. With the lead pack in Boston in 2009 until the last 800m. Two time Olympian. Won Lisbon 1/2. Won US Half champs in 2012. 3rd fastest all time US runner at 10k. 4th fastest all time US marathon (NY debut 2:25).

There are only a few runners in US history who have done better that Kara.

Kara Goucher says a lot of other people have doubted that she could come back??? How arrogant. Come back to what?

What a shock, another jealous tool.

Both Kara and Adam are more successful runners that you ever were, are happily married and seem to be a very happy family making their living from running.

Maybe, instead of anonymously "calling them out", you should aspire to some of the things she has accomplished.

Try not being a sniveling little turd for a change, you may discover a whole other world.

You're thinking of Adam Goucher, Kara Goucher's brother.

First American on the podium in NY in 2008 since 1994.

Your point? If Desi or Shalane had run NY before her, they would have been the first.

With the lead pack in Boston in 2009 until the last 800m.

So have several others, but she didn't win.

Won the Lisbon 1/2.

Your point?

Won US Half champs in 2012.

Precious Roy, you're an idiot. Look at the field you bozo!!! Melissa White was 4th!!!! No Shalane, No Desi, hence she wins.

4th fastest all time US marathon (NY debut 2:25)

Who cares, she's never even placed 2nd, not once. She didn't win.

Serious question: What is your PR and do you actually run?

And no, I'm not the OP, but I strongly agree with what he or she posted. Kaar has never won a marathon and won't unless it's a low key one where nobody shows up.

WOW!! F*CKING IDIOT^^^

My commented directed to the 'adam, not kara' guy

**Wow, she was never that good at marathons but certainly pretended to be.

You do realize that 400th place all time means that you are "that good," don't you?

2:47. What is yours?

1. Desi would not have been on the podium had she preceded Kara. Desi was a 2:44 marathoner when she first hit the roads. She did not actually run a competitive race until her sixth marathon. The rest were time trials where she ran her own pace off the lead pack. Shalane's debut was at a painfully tactical NY where she ran a 2:28. It is not a given that she would have been on the podium at a faster race at that point in her career.

2. Desi didn't win. Is she a joke? Shalane did not win. Is she a joke?

3. Lisbon is a major international 1/2 marathon. Kara has multiple 1:09s and a PR of 1:08 with a 1:06 at the Great North 1/2. Her PB in the half is faster than Shalane's.

4. She blew away the competition by almost a minute at the US half champs in the middle of a build up for the 2012 Olympics. She ran another 1:09.

5. Belittling a 2:25 debut on a difficult NY course with no rabbits just shows that your critique of Kara has nothing to do with running. It is just your dislike of her personality and out of competition self promotion. But you can't make that criticism because it would just reveal that you feel threatened by women and have to put down any kind of expression of empowerment or femininity that you don't understand or relate to.

I think that Kara's Oiselle stuff and weekend retreats are silly. But as a fan of the sport, I would never put down Kara's substantial running accomplishments just because of what she does after she crosses the finish line. That is just being juvenile.

she's also never run a time trial...

Callen Her Ouuuttt! is a joke

Whats your job, where do you work, how high of a position have you gotten in life?

move her down a few spots from 400. Jeptoo just doped positive. I suspect when all is said and done, we'll find a few more cheats ahead of Kara in that list too.

Just to clarify for "Adam Not Kara."

Adam is her husband.

She won NCAAs as Kara Grgas-Wheeler. After getting married and changing her last name, her previous results still belong to her.

You sound completely unhinged. I think your parents ought to be very concerned.

Suspecting this guy has parents is in and of itself suspect.

SHALANE FLANAGAN. Personally I consider her more talented as a runner over a wider range of distances from high school to pro than Kara. I have a lot more respect for Shalane as a person and runner than I do for Kara..Lost a lot of respect for Kara since her partnership with Oiselle
