Coincidentally her 30:45 matches Keitany's personal best at 10k, tied for 12th best performer and 20th best performance.

Hopefully she stays the clean track!
Caroline is not dirty. Caroline ran 8:58 at 17 years old, and 15:24 at altitude. Her debut 10K at Stanford last year was 31:16, and her international xc season 2016-2017 was undefeated, to add to her 27s victory at Falmouth. Please get your facts straight.

Also: The 2:31 marathon is a mistake. It's is mistakenly linked to her because of Chepkoech likely. Caroline has never run a marathon. She's only run 30k twice in workouts. Her long runs are 25k
I think she was nothing short of amazing in London. You clearly have a future worldbeater on your hands, coach. Can you tell us more about her? Training, future plans and long term potential, as you see it?

Thanks, Coach for highlighting Caroline's credentials in her teenage years and prior to her breakthrough in London. I remember that 15:24 time which equates to sub 15 min at sea level! Given that was more than 4 years ago, and had that distance been her main focus, her progression time would be at least 14:35 or faster. She also won world junior medals and was a top 3 finisher twice among the Kenyans at the world junior cross country. Waiting to see her performance in Shanghai on Saturday ( unless she is pacing).

Caroline did NOT 'get connected' with some Kenyan man. Ken is my technical coordinator for the training group, and they are both 100% trustworthy. You know absolutely nothing about what you are talking about, and should consider not talking about Caroline, Ken, etc., until you do. You do real harm typing nonsense in public forums. Caroline lived and trained with me last summer, and they are both excellent athletes and people who are hard working dedicated athletes and people. Shame on you. Try getting a life of your own to talk about.

She went to the US and did quite well in some road races, but during that time also connected with a Kenyan man who wasn't having so much success of his own as an athlete. He seems to see her as an ATM, and has declared himself to be her coach and decision maker. This is the textbook example of what has happened with virtually all Kenyan women busted for doping. The two of them also quickly earned a reputation for not being trustworthy in their dealings with people in the sport in the US.
Name the Kenyan man. The running world needs to know him so not to deal with him anymore or even report him to authorities. I believe you are using a pseudo name so no fear of your identity being revealed which could result in some repercussions.
