Shelby MF Houlihan responds to the LRC trolls -- definitely is not doping + great podcast listen

She is having an incredible year. She ran a huge PR in the 1500. Logically, she could run some nice PRs in the 800 and 5000.

I love you hobby joggers. I can tell you most likely were not a varsity high school and college runner. You go to Barnes & Noble, buy running books. Now you are an expert. I am not one of her haters who say she is necessarily on PEDs. I push back against letsrun hobby joggers who believe Houlihan is really a 52.5/1:55 400/800 runner. You and the rest of your friends are wrong regarding Houlihan's 400/800 abilities. We are how we run. Now, Houlihan has personal bests of

55.xx/2:01.xx

400/800. Until those PB change, she is no faster than her PB reflect.

Do you really believe this? That someone can not be faster than their official PB? Does that mean they also can not be slower than their PB?

If a cheetah has never run a FAT 400 does that mean you can outrun it?

She will own the 800 and 5000. Semenya is trembling right now.

Shelby is definitely suspect. Beg to differ? Visit her Instagram and compare current pics with those from last year at this time (also a peak competitive period).

There is no way an athlete with her body type can cut mass, lean out remaining muscle and maintain or amplify her aerobic and anaerobic profile without dabbling on the dark side.

Her 1500m PR has improved by over 9%. Simply too good to be true.

It's called training and nutrition. Look it up.

CLEAN legends of the sport - present, and future.

Haters can eat it.

How did you get so ignorant, or were you always that stupid.

Roughly 9% since high school, which was about 7 years ago now? Is that really so crazy?

Interviewer: “What is the meanest thing that you’ve read about yourself on LetsRun.com?”

Houlihan: “Oh, gosh! I try to stay off of that site because it’s so negative. Um, I think maybe, like, recently people are like ‘Is Shelby Houlihan dirty?’ I like, ‘Come on, guys, have a little faith’ you know. Every time someone runs fast, it’s like, everyone is questioning it. Um, and, no, like I, I’m not, I’m clean, I just worked really hard, I’ve been really patient, and I love what I do.”

Freudian slip?

Color me shocked.
