she ran 15:07 this year, training with 1500m runner nikki hiltz has benefited henes greatly
"Great run from her in Berlin today. Slots her in at #14 US all-time and #4 this year, and she's only 23! Excited to see what she does next year after dropping 25 seconds from her PR this year."
Her PR from last year was 15:18, so she has in fact dropped 25 (or 26) seconds from that time this year. Had the statement been "Excited to see what she does next year after dropping 25 seconds from her PR of this year." I would agree with you.
Yeah this guy gets what I meant to say. Since January she's dropped her PR 25 seconds. She also ran 15:02i so really fact check before posting needed to fact check before posting.
It's strange how women distance runners get better in their 20s, and women distance swimmers do not. Look through the world records in the women's 1500 meter freestyle, which is a 15 minute race, and every world record in the past 15 years was set by a teenager, except for Ledecky with the current WR, set when she was 21 years old.
Swimmers have A LOT more training hours in by the age of 16.

Yeah. I think it is pretty clear that the prime distance runner ages are 21-25 but that we have a ton of athletes who haven't gotten enough training by that age to max out there talent. If we started putting mileage on people at 10( go look at the training of age group swimmers from 10-14) they would all be peaking in their early 20s instead of late. Showing up as a 19 year who has only been running 35mpw will result in you wasting 2-3 of your peak years building up so that you can train...
Yes. But it's nice to see an American putting herself on the line internationally in a 5k. Here's the list of USA luminaries who have run faster than Henes. A pretty short list.

Thanks for the response. That is the best answer that I can think of. It might even be the correct answer.

That is pretty good company that Elly has put herself in. It's good to see and I'm happy for her. From what I know of her she seems like a good person and hard worker and is deserving of her success.
Other than her 14:52.xx being discussed here, she has had herself a pretty decent year with some other fine performances. She went 15:03 at the the Boston U invite in February, a 9:18ish 2 mile in May, 4:05.7 1500 in July, and a 4:27.6 mile about a month ago. Her 1500 & mile times are impressive given that she is not really a miler. Mike Smith is more than likely honing her speed.
Elly has a bright future. She has great genes as both parents were all-Americans in college (Bob, NC State '91 & Laurie Gomez, NC State '92), is training at altitude with Mike Smith as her coach, and is a hard worker. I'm exctited to see what she can do going forward. Many on that list that are now ahead of her in the 5000 were not yet at the level that Elly is at in the first few years out of college.

And? she’s on the rise. In time she will beat most of their times. Not sure what your point is.

Exactly. And some by only a second or two. Henes is on the rise and can beat half those times
