Not making anything off GoFundMe anymore.
It made over $7,000 the first day and $14,939 after four weeks.
In the seven weeks since it has made $456.

Oh. Ok I could see that interpretation making sense.
Cool, I guess steroids actually do work.

Dopers are always dedicated to the sport. That is why they're willing to risk their health and reputation by taking drugs.
But all elite athletes are dedicated to the sport. She isn't special in that regard. Being an elite distance runner is a crappy life. You're traveling a lot, but not for vacation. You're planning all your days around your workouts. You're watching what you eat religiously. You're not up late partying. You're putting a future traditional career on hold.
So yeah, admire her dedication, exactly like every other elite runner. But some of them choose integrity. She didn't.
Being an elite athlete is literally the easiest profession there is. Many of us are putting in as much time in the sport as they are while holding down a 9 to 5. I can’t stand it when pro athletes complain about their lives. They get to do our hobby for their job and get paid well for it.

1) not paid well
2) typically no medical insurance
3) workouts SIGNIFICANTLY different than what you do- both in intensity and duration
4) hours of prehab
5) please give an example of you giving “as much time to the sport” as a typical pro.
How do you know she didn't run 800m?
I think this is video footage from the run.....
Serious Question
While Shelby is banned can she take PEDS without violating her suspension?
I have to admit it’s impressive that she is persisting. Maybe she will stick with it all through the ban and have a second act in her career. At the same time her 4:03 in the 1500 is about as meaningful as my recent 4:03 in the 800.

Risking her health? If she is doping, then it would seem the drugs are making her healthier, right? Isn't the point of doping to make you fitter?

Wondering this as well. Does she get tested as part of the ban?

If that is true, you're working 40 hours a week, plus spending a minimum of 3 to 4 hours a day on running, plus getting 8 to 9 hours of sleep. When you add in meals, you are completely booked for about 22 to 23 hours of the day.. You don't spend any time with your family, dont do any hobbies, maybe you have time for a bit of Netflix after dinner before you head to bed.
And you're still not at the inconvenience level of a pro runner, since you don't have to travel around the work to meets at times that may or may not he convenient in the rest of your life.
I agree some people do love the pro runner life. But some want to spend time with their family, etc.
Is she still being tested? What are the rules? I'd be loading up on the sauce if I had a 4 year window from competition.

There are many 2:15-2:18 marathoners doing exactly this.
Must have binged a lot of burritos to be running that kind of time in January.
Apparently her pre time trial meal was Burritos.

What? You’re ignoring the fact that the pro runners coachy was referring to don’t work “real jobs.” So there’s 40 hr./week to spend time with their family, etc. Apparently the BTC women spent too much time just laying around playing video games for Quigley’s taste, you might recall.

this the amazing part about LRC - cross-generational stuff.
where else do you get people of such different ages post together?
anyway, that sequence is the first thing I thought of too.
Houlihan is:
A convicted fraudster who tried to blame her fraud on an small, innocent business run by Hispanics.
She also enlisted her friends, who were also presumably innocent, to vouch for her and put their own word and reputation on the line defending her. She leveraged the loyalty of her friends in furtherance of her fraud.
Disgusting behavior. People of color have been incarcerated for lesser crimes.
