So Tyler Pennel can progress to a 2:07?
Flanagan debuted in NYC high 2:28s, got down to 2:21. Why can't Huddle with low 2:28 debut on the course go a little faster?
Dick Beardsley agrees that it's feasible.
Don't listen to Polly. This posted has been posting stupid sh1t all day. So dumb.
Clayton went from 2:21 in his debut to 2:09. Ron Hill went from 2:24 to 2:14.
Just think if he'd have suggested that Farah would go from 3:34 to 3:28 in a season!
You know more than Ray Treacy about all things of course, but about Molly Huddle for certain.
OP, you are another moron who does not understand math.

My first thought was that 2:28 wasn't that great a time in comparison to low 30 10k. I understand NY is a little slow. She definitely is capable of a much faster time.

It sort of depends if she is a marathoner or not. There are a lots of 5/10k people that never run marathon times that you would expect. But yeah NYC tends to be 2-3 mins slower than the fast races. Hopefully Huddle trys some of them.
The 8 minutes from 2:28-2:20 is not the same 8 minutes from 2:17-2:09...
Yes, 2:28 low isn't a great time for a 30-low 10ker.
But when you take into account she ran 60%+ of the race all by herself, into a strong headwind, on a tough course, with abbreviated preparation of less than 3 months from the Olympic final plus a third place (behind just two Kenyan who are certainly superior and more experienced in the domain of marathon running). It's certainly impressive.
If Shalane could go from high 2:28 to 2:21, why not Molly to 2:20 or even better - attacking the AR.(Of course it's a bit too early to tell, though)
Well, it is, if you take into account the gender difference between men and women, but as mentioned earlier by some other people here, it's feasible.
Another comparison point might be Ritz's 2:14 debut in NY through to his 2:07 in Chicago (on a faster course, with more marathon-specific training and experience under his belt).
Polly is a troll. Don't feed the troll.
Go Molly!
i know a few guys that went from 2:0x to 1:4x
