Shalane Flanagan's Coach

Sarah Hall looks just as skinny if not skinnier. You people need to lay off, you have no idea if this girl has an eating disorder. You also have no idea how it feels to be accused of having one when you dont.

LOL, do you guys really think she reads this messageboard?

You do realize you are a joke to most decent runners, don't you?

actually I thought is because of drug use...not eating disorders....

i guess that puts you with us since you are on the message boards discussing the issue. welcome to the group joker!

WHY DID SHALANE LOOKS SO OLD???She was a beauty a few years ago...and now...she's not anymore...

That is exactly what I was thinking. You look at her during her UNC days, cute as a button, now....I personally don't think supremely fit women age well; conversely super fit men generally do age well. Frank Shorter & Bill Rodgers as fair examples. I saw a photo of Deena taking an ice bath from the back, and my first impression was she looks like an old lady...on crack. I think for women this is a pact they make with the devil. This is not a criticism, just my visual take/instant reaction...ie. my first impression. Maybe that is why Carrie Tollefson is such an oddity in elite T&F...in that she actually looks like a woman...in the traditional sense.

maybe if you asked cook or balazs(i'm not sure about his involvement) they might email with you directly

Anyone who thinks the plural of "coach" is "coachs" not only doesn't deserve a response from a coach, but ought to be shot in the face.

She looks like she has aged 20 yrs. She will not do well at XC Nationals if it is cold. Her body fat is way too low.

I cannot bite my tongue any longer. You, sir, are a mental midget. Yes, she has no chance in cold weather because her low body fat will undoubtedly destroy her efforts over an 8k race. Ding ding- we have the post of the day!

We shall see. Perhaps you need a nap.

So let me get this straight- a woman with low body fat cannot do well at an 8k XC race in the cold. Deena is the perfect evidence of that theory, right? Riiiiight.

I do need a nap, but you need to wake up.

Yep, It is common knowledge that Deena, Dibaba, and Radcliffe all have 27% body fat which gives them a huge advantage in winter XC races.

Thd way that they do this without looking obese is by drinking a pint of salmon oil every morning after their run.

It also cleanse their arteries for future cardiovascular disease.

Moderate exercise usually results in people looking younger than their age, but intense exercise - whether in elite sports like running, or pulling a rickshaw bicycle in India - usually results in the ageing process becoming accelerated.

That is why people like Haile Gebreselassie, Miruts Yifter, and others look somewhat older and sometimes much older than their true chronological ages.

Yeah F***o,

Maybe her coaches are busy, don't spend 8 hrs a day in front of a goddamn computer on lets F***ing run.com. God help this world.
