Molly Huddle WOW!!

Maybe there *is* something to that "killing brain cells" thing....

Old Mainstream media move - cut off the end of a quote to make it fit your own biases"Pull a rupp and win her debut" was the full quote Troll level 10 .

Can you tell me what major international marathon Rupp has won?

Rupp won his first marathon. Who said it was a major international one?

He second marathon was a olympic bronze.

If Huddle wins NYC it's kind of like pulling a Rupp. It's a win, at an major marathon. That's a tougher win than Rupp's but not quite as good as the Rupp's second marathon (bronze in the olympics is better than winning NYC).

He won his debut marathon. Not a major, but a solid win nonetheless.

She is obviously on drugs but because she is American it doesn't count right? The double standards of Americans are hilarious.

rojo is a jack@ss.

She is fit. She is ready. 2:23-2:24 NYC debut. Nasty.

lol, triggered much?

are you for real wrote:

Buy a newspaper, look at the date, it's not 1916. Are you living under a freaking rock? Name changing is not a thing women automatically have to do, and it especially doesn't make sense for women who have established themselves under their maiden name. If you think a woman should automatically take her husband's last name and forego one half of the name she has carried her whole life, I hope you don't have a wife, because you probably expect other idiotic, misogynistic things of her too. Is that seriously the best comment you can make about a world-class caliber athlete? Why she didn't follow some sexist social convention from previous centuries?

I would disagree with that.

Is that really necessary? Do you really consider the US Olympic trials to be so weak and insignificant?

Looking forward to Huddle's race this weekend!

Winning NYC *in your debut* would definitely be superior.

How is she always in such good shape? Look at her she is shredded with little to no body fat always. And she can do pull ups. Amazing athlete.

She is up there with Rupp and Centro in terms of having a super-long, gradually progressive career with almost no injury setbacks. It's the name of the game in many ways. Contrast with Webb, Ritz, Hall, and Cain who were up-and-down/aways fighting injuries or setbacks/bouncing between coaches, and never fulfilled 100% of their potential.

Are there actually people who think the best US distance runner will somehow not manage to run well in the marathon?

Yes, her mitochondria and mental toughness will jump ship

after an hour duration. Track racing ability has been killing Kipchoge and Bekele.

Ummm....ever heard of that guy from (NAU?) mexican guy who ran 60:0X then ran a 2:13? And about every other male US marathoner since the 1970s? Texas had like 7 2:10 marathoners around 1979 and now all of US maybe has 1.

Rupp's debut was the olympic trials, which he won.
