Really, Martin only slowed down by 4 seconds in the last 9 years???
Imogen only improved by 3 seconds in the past 2 years,
So I guess they are both very consistent.
Not much improvement/not much regression. -
Throw the 12 year old brother/son into the equation 3,000m in 9:04 and now tell me who ran the most impressive run? By the way I believe it was the mum!! Imogen was super gutsy and ran a 9:08 in a time trial a week prior and in this championship race went through 1500m in 4:24!! So in a better paced race I believe she could run much faster.

I'd have to say the mother's time is more impressive.
Imogen, however, might not have improved much in her time, but I've heard it was her 2nd run back after a year off. -
Sort of talented like Shalane's family

Wow this kid ran a 4:34 1500 at age 12:

I'm surprised that her mom's PR's are not faster given all the hooplah. Mother's marathon PR is only 2:56 which seems slow for a national class runner.

The mother was pacing that marathon, and that is not her preferred distance. She only started competing competitively at age 35. Would have loved to see her PR's if she had of started earlier.

I don't think those stats are 100% correct. These are more accurate.

Yeah those stats make a lot more sense.
-
Why are stats listed separately for 5,000 meters and 5 kilometers...Was one road and one track?
-
9:19 for 3k at 12 years of age equates to a 4:20 1500m
-
yes one road one track, they don't count parkruns or unverified fun runs though
-
at 3:47:00

Well the daughter wasn't in cheater shoes, so her for sure. Little brother probably statistically better, but too young to consider performance -
Fairly impressive to go through in 4:24 considering she only ran a 4:27 1500m a few weeks prior.
She also ran a 2000m in under 6min a few weeks ago. Got to say she’s not shy of racing hard - that’s a solid month of racing -

I thought cheater shoes weren't allowed for this event...As of December 1st lets hope we don't have to talk about those shoes on the track again. -
Completely untrue, Belinda was relatively successful in her teens and early 20s before injuries and having children took over.
-
Positive the mother didn't run her teens & early twenties, studied physiotherapy and worked. Was a sprinter as a kid. Hasn't really had injuries, maybe time away having two kids. As for the illegal shoes, I'd wear them too if I was nearly 50. I think it's impressive she's having a go. Pretty sure she works full time too. Check out the age grade??? Do you think the shoes run for you??
