The mental anxiety is from not being in top shape because she’s coming off injury and afraid she is going to get her butt kicked. She just wants attention so she frames it this way.

Disgusting all the negative guesses about Colleen. She is one of the only pros who actually spends quality time with fans and is genuinely nice to all the kids. She’s had an injury riddled career that hit, once again, at the worst possible time. Yeah, I don’t like all the cringy posts for her sponsors, but crap, she’s trying to make a living.
She was in solid shape just last year when she helped pace the 14:23 through rock solid 70s or 69s for about 3k. She has more in the tank. But the record of people leaving Nike isn't all that great. Ryan Hill just ran 14 something!!
Oh yeah! In person you get the true power of the genetic lottery she won. Beautiful young woman.

I don't think you all understand how modeling works.
it's like track. Anyone can run. Some of us can run 20 minutes for 5k , or 17 for 5k, maybe 16,15 minutes even.
But only a few hundred of us can run c.13 minutes.
the level of good looks it takes to be a pro model like quigley...is equivalent to a 13:15 5k, or thereabouts.
Quigley's looks are that rare. and that far above the other women of track and field.
Sorry but no, if she wasn't that good of a runner, she would never succeed in modeling.
You do realize the was a fashion model prior to choosing running full time.
You are stating your opinion on something, she has already demonstrated to be 100% false.
Think about all that she has had been up to this year.... she left her longtime coach and team (stressful), tried to play up her next sponsorship that took forever to come to fruition (stressful), moved to a coach with no other teammates (!), ramped up sponsored posts and working with more brands on the side, traveled to NYC for this "big" Lulu sponsorship.... all in an olympic year!! I like her but want to shake her and say what were you thinking?! Of course all these huge changes would impede your build up. And since of course that happened when it came time to race she realized she actually wasn't ready even though she had been acting like it would be a cake walk. All of this adds up to me.
It's actually a pretty nice update. I get it - she's afraid if she doesn't win, she won't matter. So she's trying to build up the non-athlete part of herself. I think it's a transition all athletes need to go through.
That being said, I tend to side eye people who don't race out of fear of not doing well. No one gives a sh*t how you do, CQ (aside from a*holes on this forum) - they'd rather see you out in the arena at least trying, even if you come in DFL.

it reminds me some of Jenny Simpson's last year of college, when she had an extra season of XC...at NCAAs everyone expected her to dominate...but she literally forgot how to run. She collapsed on the course several times, came in middle of the pack. Complete mental breakdown.
Jenny explained there was just too much going on in her life...pro contract, graduation, marriage.
And Jenny came back 150%, 200%. She made all the teams, won all the medals, and might have become the toughest miler, mentally, the country has ever produced. After that complete collapse.
Let's hope CQ can go the same route.
The problem Quigley has is that she has created bar karma for herself and those demons will not go away until she makes right with the people she has wronged. I’m not going to mention names but you can all guess who I’m talking about and probably can’t guess the names of the people from behind the scenes.
Makes sense, bad blood is also psyching her out.
The only person I can guess tho is SH who def isn’t at the trials...
Give me a shout or DM me if you want to Chat CQ .. Jose
Is someone trying to tell us something? Colleen Quigley .com forwards to the WADA website.
My guess is someone from BTC or Nike owns it and Quigley hasn’t made an offer to buy it yet
That said, there could be some truth behind those rumors she pulled out as a plea to prevent a doping ban being accounted
I am pretty neutral on quigly (generally root for her athletically but had to unfollow her on social media bc her online presences is annoying), but I will say people on this site hugely exaggerate her modeling career.
This is not a dig to quigly, I just think a lot of people on here don't super understand the fashion/modeling industry. She had an agent and booked several small gigs her senior year of high school, she got headshots etc, but she was definitely not a professional model making a full living from shows and shoots. She might have been if she pursued it more but she definitely was never at that level. Someone compared her modeling career to a 13:15 5,000m runner, I would say more someone who ran some really good high school times but then decided not to pursue it in college.
In her latest IG, she somehow made others' accomplishments all about herself. I get it's her social media account, but it's clear she's now on the "I was once in the Olympics too!" tour.
I've never been one, full disclosure.
In terms of modeling, she wasn't runway, which I consider the highest tier of models. And now with social media, everyone's a model so I think she's outta luck if she wants to exclusively do that. Plus she's old now.

This is the type of thing that bothers me about CQ. Faux nice and faux congratulatory. Just don't even bother mentioning other people if your goal is only to remind the world of your achievements. It is painfully obvious she only mentioned others as a way to bring up herself and pat herself on the back. It would be better for her to not even pretend she is happy for others, honestly.

An LRC troll has owned this domain for years. A sad and pathetic way to spend one’s time and money.
I’m sure they’re completely satisfied with their purchase because every few months, some Colleen hater points to the troll domain as if they’ve found the Dead Sea scrolls.

Do we know if it’s someone from BTC/Nike with some inside info on Quigley doping?
There is a disturbing amount of bullying going on here against CQ. It’s likely because she’s beautiful. We aren’t blind.
