Kara Goucher has been on the cover of Runners World more times than anyone else

They should put her endocrinologist on the cover.

She must sell magazines for them. Good for her.

Her site claims that she ran 2:18 at the 2013 Boston Marathon. Of course, she actually ran 2:28. I wonder if her claims against Salazar are as reliable as her website.

Obviously a typo. Under bests, 2:24 is listed.

Holy crap. I had to take a screenshot of that. Good job Kara

I actually doubt that six is the most times anyone has been on Runner's World covers. I'm sure hat back in the day, Bill Rodgers was on more.

Sure. Strange how it wasn't 2:38 or 3:28.

Wonder if she wonders what she would have ran with PR's needled regimen.

If Kara Goucher says it, it has to be true

Also it says she ran her 1:06.57 half marathon at New York, I believe she ran that in the United Kingdom.

Strange. I found nine RW covers with Bill Rodgers photo. It took me about 30 seconds to do so. There may be more. Last time I checked, nine was more than six. Reliability and credibility matter.

Are you able to walk and chew gum at the same time?

How about pouring cereal into the bowl rather than on the floor?

Just trying to get an idea of the challenges that someone with your IQ might face in life.

Yes. It was on an aided, downhill course. She has not broken 1:08 on a record-quality course.

Her site also says that she ran 2:24:48 at the 2009 World Championships. Her actual time was three minutes slower.

Here's another one:

"Winning the Chicago Half Marathon in 2009 was quite a surprise. I was in 30th place headed into the final mile, and then slowly worked my way up, taking the lead from the last man around the 11.5-mile mark. My time of 1:08.05 was the fastest of the entire race for both women and men."

So she was in 30th place with one mile to go, then slowly worked her way up, taking the lead with about 1.6 miles to go. Hmmm.....

I bet if Magness reads this he would say something like " I can't imagine a world-class marathoner making such a middle-school error or "typo"".

headed into the final mile

HEADED INTO not in the final mile. It's called cloz reading, we do it with Special Ed students all the time- it teaches them reading comprehension.

Not responsive at all to the comment. You seem angry. Is this Adam? If so, please understand that facts and details matter. Have a nice day. Even if it isn't your birthday.
