Official Marathon Project Live Discussion Thread

D’Amato is now #7 all time and has been running in Nike shoes all year. Hey Nike, wake the hell up and sponsor her!

Sara only 4 mins behind Jared Ward!

Sara hung on to AR pace an awfully long time. Makes you wonder if she could’ve broken the record with a longer than 11 week recovery since London

Cant she just congratulate Sara?? I thought she only hated Nike

Kara and the Brojos are jelly AF, it's as if they officially compete with each other to throw the most shade at clearly superior performers.

As I said, she's super envious with a boatload of sheer jealousy. The shoes Kara broke 2:25 in, once, were better than the shoes that Benoit won the 84 Olympics in. Kara forgets that.

D’Amato has been dialed in perfectly this year by Radzco. Gotta give him some credit, but really the whole “transformation” of D’Amato is how Radzco focused on her speed and brought it out. It’s not just doing the training, but also believing you can do it and run faster than you thought you could. Once she started hitting those faster times, her confidence went right up.

She has always had strength. Kudos to both of them on a fantastic day. She went from “Queen of the hobby joggers” to an elite marathoner.

Keira is just a machine; her 10 mile AR lines up with 2:22-23.

Incredible 1-3 finish for Syracuse teammates! Has any college program ever produced a similar result?

Nope, never. Its time in history. Great find!

Anyone worried about US women’s marathoning? 2nd 2:23 is kind of trash on the world scale.

Droddy would have run 2 second faster and passed Meb if he hadn't been holding down that fountain of puke just before crossing the line. It was still awesome though!

According to the World Athletics Website

2:20:32 all time world #49

2:22:56 is all time world #129

2:08:59 is all time world #727

At least we can worry with women’s side

Gotta love how Aussiestatman misses on the cool statistical contributions on this board.

Jacuzzi Boys sure got a lot of screen time today with one of Hall's pacers.

I don't understand what this means. Don't Beardsley and Kempainen belong on here? Hate Minnesotans or something?

No, I saw. And then right after tweeting token congrats she rushed to clearly imply that the only reason all these other women are so fast now is shoe tech.

Makes me want to...
