That was forever ago in October. Why wouldn't she be capable of something fast? Better runner, better shoes than Molly.
Bahahahaha. Funny, blind fanboi.
Jordan isn't even in the lead pack? What's going on did she pull out last min?
OP nailed this one...

Blind fanboi? She’s a freakin 2:21 marathoner, a country mile ahead of Molly. With due time she will have the HM and marathon ARs.

She’s a “country mile” ahead of Huddle? She’s 0-12 heads up!! TWELVE straight wins for someone a country mile behind Hasay is quite the string of luck, huh?
Huddle in Boston will beat her again.

67:25 new AR for Huddle, 12-0 lifetime against Hasay. Huddle has only run one marathon -- NYC -- and finished 3rd. There is very little doubt that Huddle can run a lot faster. I guess we'll see this spring.

You are a muppet. Molly destroyed Jordan. Just as the great African contingent smashed Molly. All in all a great day.
OMG you called it, 67:25 for Molly. But Jordan is +1 minute behind.

I love it when the idiot in you reveals itself (not that it takes much), brah.

That’s one race distance, for which neither have many attempts. The body of their work (PRs, global championships, head-to-head record) makes it clear that Molly is country miles ahead at this point.

I’m expecting Molly to pull through with a win in 67:25 while Jordan loses narrowly in 67:29.
Only 75% correct. Not too bad.

I wasn't far off. Actually, I think she ran very well today. Remember last year her early half-marathons were without a fall marathon and a break that followed. That's why this year I thought high 68s or right around 69. Also, her great improvements appear linked with fast long runs in training (similar to what Canova recommends), which she hasn't started yet. As for Huddle beating Hasay in Boston, the only way that happens is if Hasay has a bad day. That Huddle crushes Hasay in 10,000 and is clearly the better half-marathoner means nothing in the marathon. Hasay is several minutes better than Huddle.
I'm glad the homepage called out rojo for getting it right. He was, like, the only person to, like, think the Lion Heart wouldn't, you know, break the record and stuff. So glad he's the big brain amongst the flock.

several minutes? no one knows what will happen April 16th, but Hasay will not beat Huddle by "several minutes". if you'd care to make a wager, please let me know. i don't know either one personally and have nothing negative to say about either one of them as they are both tough as nails, but I'd lay down a fair amount that Hasay will not beat her by several minutes (I'm not comparing current pr's, but maybe you are).

p.s. Huddle is building up for Boston as well. Please stop differentiating one's training or racing approach from the other, it looks silly as you are obviously undermining Huddle.
I'm sorry: I'm not a betting man. However, besides Hasay, only five US women have run sub 2:25. That's not a long list. Suppose Huddle adds to that list, and even supplants Goucher and becomes the sixth fastest US woman. Suppose further that she runs 2:24, which would be terrific, and which would be a 4 minute PR. She could still be several minutes behind Hasay. When one woman's PR is 7 minutes slower than another's (and yes, I know, one ran on a much slower course, and the pace was radically different, etc.) it is scarcely controversial to indicate that one might beat the other by several (three or more) minutes.

Actually, if you listen to their interviews and the recent training each has done and how long the buildup was for each, there is a significant difference. Look--one of them has proven she is a world class marathoner (sub 2:21) and the other has not (2:28). It would be great to see Huddle run sub 2:25, or even much faster than that, but Hasay is the second fastest US women's marathoner, and that must be recognized. And yes, Huddle is terrific in the 10,000 and half marathon, but those races are not indicative of how fast one can run a marathon. In pointing this out, it's not critical of Huddle at all. Indeed, on the track she is light years beyond anything Hasay has ever or will ever do.
