I wonder how she got Johnny Mellor to pace for her. He was incredibly unlucky to miss out on Tokyo - he slept in some compression socks to help with an injury and it gave him gout. He'll still have Olympic ambitions for 2024 so pacing an elite woman looks a little odd

This mechanism is not plausible.
Yes it is.
1 of the socks twisted in the night and ended up causing him gout.
As for Jonny,he has been paid well by NB to pace Emily tomorrow,enough for him to not win the British championships in London last weekend.

Let's start here: what is gout?
Seems to me 'gout' is the new way to say "I choked." In the past we've seen drastic failures blamed on weather, 'fueling', injuries that didn't seem to exist during a brag-heavy interview 11 hours before the gun, and whatever Derrick and other BTC marathoners would make up. Haile, at the end of one of the greatest imaginable careers, said he slept with a pillow in a poor position before a forgettable race. So get used to this:
Tomorrow morning, if Sisson, Mantz, or one of the favorites falls apart and runs 12 minutes slower than expected,
Dealing with adverse conditions on a 30 min race is way different then dealing with them on a 2 hour and 30 min race. You think des or kawauchi beats anyone in that 2018 boston lineup in a 10k with the same weather?
Did they add hills to the Chicago course? Just keep digging yourself deeper......
Dnf is most likely. She’s been beaten by Keira who was way off her AR recently. The last marathon Em did was the trials was a complete flop. No chance she goes sub 220 let alone challenges the record.
