3 years of training for 3-5 hours/day = 10 hour marathon.

Was that on the one that turned out to be a long course?
This is the lady with the 12+ hour finish in Seattle a few years ago who has been "training" for an IRONMAN since 2014. She has dropped out of a ton of races and was caught cheating at a fun run 5K last year. She's registered for IMAZ again this year.
The 3-5 hours per day must consist of eating potato chips to maintain fatness, because if she was actually training 3-5 hours per day, she wouldn't still be that fat.
I'm 65. In January I *walked* a marathon in 5 1/2 hours (and I'm no racewalker). So this kind of performance is just hard for me to fathom.
But still, good for her. At least she's doing something (when she's actually *doing* it and not cheating, of course) to get a little bit healthier. The vast majority of American adults couldn't finish 42km on foot (in one day) under any circumstances.
This isn't reddit.

There is no room on these boards for your rational, balanced, non-condemning attitude.
Why is there some whole site dedicated to discrediting her? Who cares?

Because she is a cheater and shams skinny People for her being fat.
She's an entertainer. Entertainers want attention. You give it to her by reposting her antics.
Is your ego so fragile that you're ruined by her shaming your skinny weight?
She has been invited to campuses such as Dartmouth to regal audiences with bullshit stories about being a professional athlete. She also gives terrible medical advice, despite being a music major who dropped out of college. She crowd funds various 'projects' that are never finished, and she writes articles for outlets like ESPN based on her 'athletic privilege'. In short, the fat lady is a dangerous menace.
10 hours = 6 hours walking, 4 hours hoovering every last crumb, gel and sports drink from the aid stations. Net weight gain over 26.2

And seemingly has a huge audience.
Meanwhile, fragile looking elite distance runners practice and perform in relative anonymity.

This is the best quote I've seen on LR.
She is the worst

She's obviously a pathological lier. I don't care how out of shape you are, if you supposedly are working out 3-5 hours a day for YEARS you can finish a marathon under 5 hours. Really to do that she could walk more then half.
She doesn't have a handle (love handle?) on peaking for races, any races...yet. Give her a decade or two to perfect her craft.
Rumor has it that Nike will sponsor her on a record marathon attempt, with pacers. Call it the Breaking9 project. I predict 9:00.25.
After crossing the finish line in Maine she whipped off her singlet to reveal a sports bra. Oh? That was another Chastain, another sport?

C'mon, man, describing this is cruel and unusual. You should be fined for all the psychological harm you've caused LR nation.
Anybody that "runs" a 10-hr marathon should never wear a singlet or threaten to take it off.
