My guess is she's moving up in distance to at least the 10k. Her first eligible olympics will be at age 35. That is past 1500m prime, and probably even 5km prime. She might even move to the marathon.
4:03/14:47 vs 3:55/14:24. This says she is in better 5k shape at the moment than 1500 shape. Based on the 4:03, we'd expect her to be a tad slower than 14:50 for 5k. Wouldn't surprise me if she is using the ban to build a base and move up in distance.
I think I remember seeing that the Swiss Federal Tribunal has overturned CAS one time in history, so her odds there are not great to say the least. That being said, there is absolutely nothing wrong with her continuing to train and do TT type events like this. Do people really expect her to sit on the couch for 4 years and then try to get back to an elite level? Grow up and join the rest of us in the real world.
it could be that these athletes are just too damn dumb to understand;

Shelby, Lance, SCR; all three cannot accept their doping and are too stupid to remove themselves from the public arena. and the reason is that the US dopers, uniquely, have people who support them blindly for years.
I am alsmot surprised she didnt include burritoes in the list.
Educated guess: she “debuts” in the 10,000. Similar to these, we’ll just see a watch with the time. I can’t tell if this all is kinda sad or whatever.
not sad. Her passion is running and she is continuing to do it even if she can’t do it in the same way as before.
In 2020 when there were no races I also resorted to time trials. Different circumstances but similar situation - trying to run fast however we can.
Her real passion seems to be a narcissistic pursuit of attention from total strangers, not running per se. Otherwise, she would be quietly running on a trail somewhere, not posting track times on twitter.
She does demonstrate all the key character ingredients for a doping offence and being a manipulative liar - failure to respect rules, sense of entitlement, lack of realisation of the seriousness of her ban.
I find it completely implausible that a top runner, in the midst of a training program for the upcoming Olympic games, would eat a burrito from an unreliable fast food source immediately after training.

she advertises eating off the shelf products derived from cannabis plants.
she isnt all there to be honest, but yes, she is a promoter first and an athlete second. i would hate to see her and scr have an iq test.

It wasn't an unreliable truck. It was a "nicer" food truck and pro runners ate from the food trucks at that location frequently. Other runners on her team ate from the truck too that same night.

Disagree. If her goal was attention from total strangers she'd be hustling on instagram like Quigley starting long ago...
That said, she could be a narcissist / delusional / rationalizer and in complete denial. If that's not the case, this is a sad awful situation for her.
Did anyone notice her mention she had struggled with depression on and off? Running might just be her outlet and helps keep her endorphins up so why stop what she loves?
Comments on Houlihan at 3:35. Between this interview and the fact that Houlihan made her Strava activities private a few days ago, it's glaringly obvious that BTC think that the rules don't apply to them. If the positive test didn't convince you of the group's arrogance, their behavior every step along the way in this sanction after the fact should seal the deal. The type of arrogance on display that leads to an athlete doping in the first place.
Man, what a disappointment by Bowerman Track Club. The team should be shut down.
Narcissism is not the same thing as having a high self-regard. The idea that high achievement requires a pathological state has been debunked by many. I’ve met many elite scientists and two Nobel laureates and they have usually been extremely humble and even self-deprecating. There are plenty of examples of elites on these boards who are down to earth and show no signs of narcissism.

I dont know, but these 3 or 4 yr bans seem like forever but they are not. Didnt the last winter olympics seem like yesterday? She is pretty young. Its not rocket science.

Her 4-year ban covers the 2 Olympics where she would have been in her prime so it might as well be forever. When the ban ends she will no longer be world class on the track and the marathon might not be a good distance for her.
She can post whatever she wants, but training hard over the next 3 years to run TTs that don’t count will be a miserable experience. Sports are about competition and she is not allowed to compete.

I think that says more about your attitudes towards food than a realistic assessment of what is normal or not.
