This guy is a complete loon. There is absolutely zero chance that this is real. This is a hoax. No one is breaking a 10-Mile record on a course with 600' of elevation gain. Complete nonsense?
And who the f*ck is Jill Greathouse? First Rossi, now Greathouse? C'mon Pennsylvania
Is this Rossi? wrote:
So, a girl who has never ran a race before is going to break the 10-Mile U.S. record on one of the hilliest courses on the east coast? Am I missing something?
Maybe her name is actually something like Jillian Kipkemboi and she's run sub 30:30 10K overseas, or even more obscurely 31:30 in Nairobi.
OMG, This is blowing up all over. A group from my running club is getting together to watch the race for the record attempt.
GO GIRL!!!!!
If you're really that fast, why not attempt to break a record in a more well known distance like the 10k or half? Ten miles is sort of an obscure event, and if I'm reading this correctly, is one of the few records that does not require doping control for ratification.

BTW, Rossi had GPS data for his turkey trot 5k PR. Anyone could easily give their Garmin to someone else to wear or even bike the course themselves. Would be ultra cool if I'm wrong, but there are a lot more Rossi's than there are Greathouse's.
"I'll believes it when I sees it."
Is there any video footage of her running? Surely someone of this level of talent and publicity has been videod or photographed running.
I can't believe that none of you have figured this out yet.
"Jill Greathouse" It's a very clever anagram.
Well played. 10/10 for them.
So, here is what I know about Jill. She is an Ultra Runner who logs some heavy miles. Supposedly she gets up in the 160/week range (Rumor is she peaked at 200). And I am pretty sure she doesn't do workouts - just extremely long runs at comfortable paces. I think we were all shocked when she went sub-52 on the course. This is all new to us. But she really wants to excel in the Ultra realm. I am sure all of this hoopla is turning her off.

But her coach just claimed on here, and commented on my FB post, that she has never worn a race bib/number...so how can she be an ultra runner if she's never raced?

She has never raced. She has been training for Ultras. I just meant she identifies as an Ultra runner. She wears fuels vests when she runs and she runs 20 miles at a time
I heard she's friends with Wilbur.

This is great stuff, the only thing that could make it better would be that she's also a crossfitter.

20 miles at a time!! Yikes!! Guess I'm an ultra runner too, since I run 21, yes TWENTY ONE miles on Sundays training for my upcoming marathon. Sheesh.

I'm tempted to be the thread police guy who says "focus people! Stop making up crap", but since that has never worked before in the history of internet forums, I'll let it go.

Once I was on the operating table getting my gall bladder removed and when I looked up there was Jill Greathouse wearing a surgical mask and drinking a glass of captain morgan's spiced rum
Jill is my twin sister.

I know for a fact she does a little cross fit. She's not hardcore about it but she does it like once or twice a week
I'm in a state of shock wrote:
This is quite the phenomenon. What is this girl's background? Did she run in college?
10/10. Better than 4:30 miler
