When's the next time a woman will have a likely doped, over-the-hill almost-was pacer wearing a breathe-right nasal strip to pace her?

I've had mine standing for about an hour. 2:15 is really impressive. I didn't know Radcliffe had the means to do this. She is obviously a really ballsy gal. I guess that explain her fast times too.

I´m not. You´re so used to seeing people step up to the marathon when they are in their slowing down phase of their career, so you think it´s natural for a sub-13 guy like Tegenkamp to run 2,12.
A friend of mine who is a 29,59 10000 runner has run a 2,12 marathon.
You are really trying to back up a claim of "most" by citing your one friend? Lol.
Your friend does not = "most".

It's not only his friend. Despite only running a 24 minute 5k his wife is closing in on a sub-4h marathon. She has even walked really long ultras. That's a definite proof that speed over short distances isn't needed for great marathon performances.
At first my thought was "No way someone with a 65 to 66 half PR can run 2:15 or better", therefore Paula's record will be safe for some time.
Then for whatever reason Craig Leon popped in my head, and so I did some digging and while doesn't totally support that claim, is at least close with 64:xx half and 2:14 full.

It's the sad truth, but i'm 99.9% certain she cheated.
To think that all of the women getting busted recently aren't even close to 2:15 and ARE DOPING and getting busted makes me think Rad did it and just didn't get busted. we will never know though. It just makes me mad she has such a stance against doping, which is a huge red flag that she actually was a doper, it's a bad cover.
Agreed. She is probably so outspoken about dopers because without dope, no one is touching that record. She gets to remain the WR holder for decades that way.

No one is even close to this presently.. How long do you guys see this record standing?
Until it decides to sit down....
Until Justin Gatlin decides to share his training secrets.
