keep in mind that females are slower twitch than males. I'd have barely been able to complete this when I ran 9:10, but I also wasn't a workout hero

Stanford is academically demanding but they have a lot of grade inflation. They’re a top 5 school with top 7-8 academic rigor, but they are NOT the most demanding.

Talent can only get you so far. It gives you a huge headstart, and the possibility to achieve great things, but training needs to be also SMART and not just HARD. Classic case of overtraining for short performance gain on a HS girl, and I'm not even talking about the 15 mile long runs in 6:11 pace or the 110 mile weeks she did.
110 mpw, 15 mile long runs… in high school, for a girl? Who tf is coaching these kids? Is this what elite prep girls do nowadays? Is a 15 mi fast long run the standard to get a scholarship now?
Her maximum hs mileage was 65 mpw and the 15 mile long run at 5:52 pace was the result of a wrong turn. It says normally her long run was up to 13 miles and that she didn't hammer it as hard as that one 15-miler.

Still too much IMO. She’s already peaked. Good coaches emphasize aerobic development rather than hard intervals

Also, I know multiple sub 9:00 (and/or <9:05, <4:10) and they don’t hammer long runs like her. She’s overtraining
