No love for Sara Hall

Fantastic athlete who has been at it for decades. Four marathons a year no joke. Runs like someone with a family to support haha.

But she bottles it when it counts and isn't an Olympian.

That's why no one cares, right or wrong.

Seems like she's hanging on to grab a paycheck and finally had a decent race. Guessing she won't hit this again.

Could someone tell us how many times she was drug tested this past season?

She is very talented and still performing well but the Halls seem like they are hanging on for too long. In my head, they are becoming like the crop of “Respect the Grind!” influencers stuck at a performance plateau but needing to race more to stay in the public eye.

I can’t believe that she is the same age as Des Linden. Des seems a generation older and looks it. She is still gorgeous and running over 5 minutes faster than Des. I don’t think that a 2:23 masters runner needs to go away.

Such a weird take.
You don’t see this kind of comparison with our male athletes.

Regardless of not many people caring about the masters AR, 2:23 is still a very respectable time. Especially for a masters runner. It’s Sara’s fastest marathon in 2.5 years so I agree with OP she should be getting some love.

Just obliterated the Masters AR at Valencia. I thought there would at least be mention of this on the home page….

Congrats Sara!! She is a grinder and continues to impress.

Pretty amazing. She has the Masters AR and Ryan still has the AR from Boston. I don't think it will be broken soon, either.

What amazes me most is that Sara does all this while being a mother of four. I can hardly find time to train and I only have two kids.

Letsrun is full of weirdos who only care about women who look or are under the age of 25, and the floor is not 18

Sara is beautiful, more than many girls half her age.

Awesome job!

Now what? Super Masters? Ultra Marathons?

At what point do you say "Ok, I'm 40 years old, I'm tired, and how much grinding am I going to put myself through. I'm not gonna run faster, and I will feel twice as shi^^y during training and racing.
