Great run for her. I do hope she is able to stay healthy. She’s doesn’t quite pass the eyeball test for health/longevity currently but I hope to be proved wrong
I agree. What especially concerns me is that this seems to be a pattern with Puma athletes specifically. I hope the athletes are surrounded with healthy relationships and the correct professionals to support their physical and mental health.

I share that concern, as well as the perception of a pattern. Koko, Molly Seidel, Fiona O'Keefe... I'd like to be wrong about there being a systematic issue of underfueling in Puma athletes. I really want to be wrong. Sara Vaughn is one of the only long distance ones that looks healthy.

Loved Taylor Roe since her years at OK State. Wish her the best and hope she stays healthy. Would love to see her kill it on the roads and be the next distance GOAT.
A little late for this thread, Cherry Blossum was the USATF 10 mile championship, wasn't it? Was it streamed at all? I hear that Runnerspace and USATF went their separate ways, but isn't USATF dropping the ball here? How do we build up a fan base for road racing if it isn't covered????
I was surprised that Gracie Morris signed with Puma. She has seemed to have healthy relationship with food/body, and done quite well obviously! The culture of Puma does not seem to fit that, and her body type is not what they seem to push. I hope she can stay solid, and a good example for the other Puma athletes, but I've just been nervous for her.

USATF has moved to a new pay-per-view format for some events, and a monthly format for some events (such as Cherry Blossom).

For anyone who might scroll past the Cherry Blossom thread, I think this deserves attention.
Taylor Roe dominated, splitting 30:56 through 10k and continuing to roll, winning by over a minute. OT marathon champ Fiona O’Keefe was left almost 2 minutes behind.
This is technically a World’s Best by 39 seconds, although women have split much faster in half marathons. The American Record prior to today was 51:23 by Keira D’Amato.
49:53 is 1:05:15 half marathon pace. Weini Kelati’s AR is 1:06:09, and Roe ranks #5 U.S. all time at 1:07:22. Roe could threaten Kelati’s mark next year if things continue to go well. She has had an improbably great first year as a pro, so far.
Ad Chepngetich split faster in her...marathon. Why are American women (and men in the marathon) so globally non-competitive in distance?

What's really wild to me is the amount of concern/ridicule towards Fiona O'Keefe whereas very few people in this thread are concerned about what appears to be a much more drastic loss of weight...
