If Molly Seidel wants to enter nothing but trail races and fun runs, for the rest of her life, she can damn well do what she pleases. Plus, if she never races a pro-running event again, she'd already have accomplished more than 100% of people on this thread.

Fair enough, but then she loses the shoe sponsorship that none of us have as well. This is her chosen profession. She needs to deal with this.

Do you know that Puma has identified anything she needs to 'deal with'? If they do, she'll deal with it. Be prepared for none of us to be included in the dealing or decision making. It isn't any of our business.
Molly used fake name and ran SpeedGoat over the weekend. She finished the race in 4:13 for eighth. She can be spotted in the race start video starting well back in the field while holding a pair of trekking poles.
Not that it really answers any questions about Molly entering the 28k, but her boyfriend Matt Shapiro 100% confirms she was there in support of him racing the 50k.
Also, this is example #76768 of while running isn't a professional sport.
Imagine if Lebron dropped out of the NBA finals and was seen playing pickup basketball in the park the same day.
The biggest issue is runners can just completely dark, they don't have to answer media questions, they don't have to disclose status (like injured reserve). There is no transparency. It is a joke.
And until she decides to become transparent, I have to assume the worst based on the clues provided- doping violation.
I don't know it's not like she's a professional athlete. Imagine any professional athlete in the NFL, NBA, NHL, or MLB going in the dark like this. We want to be taken seriously, but don't want to treat professional runners like professional athletes. Like when they get scrutinized like professional athletes do in other sports. Like seriously watch or listen to any sports show, sports radio show or podcast covering any major sport.
Yes, fat dudes blathering about sports they could never play at even a JuCo level is the peak of professionalism and what we should all aspire to.
This thread is insane. First of all, altitude does not make a difference in the case of a recovering stress reaction, all it does is stress your cardiovascular system more and thus make your muscles weaker which has absolutely nothing to do with a bone injury that is impact and load based. Second part is that doing high gradient training is perfect for recovery from these kind of injuries because pace is significantly reduced thus meaning much lower impact while keeping heartrate high. Running trails also avoids high impact surfaces like concrete and asphalt.
I'm actually shocked that so many people here don't know that as its pretty common knowledge in both running and med circles, anyone who has even suffered from shin splints should know this. An example from my High-school days is when I was recovering from a broken Tib and Fib, my rehab as prescribed by Doctor and PT was using one of those stair machines.
As for the armchair psychiatrists and psychologists, maybe some of should invest your expert energy of analysis and diagnosis(of someone you don't even know) and have a look into a psychological phenomena of projection and parasocial interactions.
Except that this someone disclosed their issues, decided and declared that medication was the best way to deal with it despite the issues with the sport, and that same sport bans them come "finals" and then they decide to stay fit and active anyways.
I see, Seidel raced a UTMB event meaning there is no or very little drug testing or else a sanctioned race would have caught her Adderall drug use. Guess Seidel is now an ultra-runner because I don't see WADA allowing her to use Adderall in competition because it has such enormous performance enhancing capabilities.
Facts. Complete BS if she’s allowed to compete on adderall.
