    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??


    A) she's always competed
    b) podiatrist not physio
    c) cheating is never ok
    D) you know very little, I'm guessing you are 14yrs

    Mother's time is great for 46 years old.
    Imogen was burnt out, took a year off (or more?) . .Seen young runners get burnt out before.

    Don't like the Vaporfly...Not what racing is supposed to be about.
    If you can run faster in a shoe on a track or road than you could barefoot on a grass track, then it is not right.

    Brush spikes were removed, under the claim such spikes would damage tracks, but more so because of the tech advantage.

    Golf removes innovations from clubs and golf balls that defeat the purpose of the sport.

    Baseball had problems with bats having cork inside, and whenever the baseball is "juiced" the batting statistics lose meaning: Wilson's MLB all-time RBI record in 1930 was with an extremely lively ball, so that the league average was around .300.
    Very low ERA's in 1968 lowered the pitcher's mound in 1969 from 15" to 10" and reduced the strike zone from the shoulders to the "letters."

    Running is the original Olympic event in ancient Greece, and the 200 stride dash was run barefoot. There was only one "innovation" mentioned from ancient Greece, and that concerned the "uniform" after an unheralded candidate sped to victory in an Olympiad.

    I won't care much about the Olympic marathon if the shoes that the athletes wear provide such an advantage. I will feel the same about road races of 5K, 10K and longer if the competitors were wearing shoes with similar innovations.

    I think the time she ran was 9:12 on the 27th Nov - it was reported on the iaaf as 9:01. Here's a link to the results:

    She ran 9:12.25 at NSW 3k Champs on 21st November. Splits were 37, 70, 69, 70, 71, 74, 80, 76.
    Shows that she blew up a bit from a crazy early pace.

    On Friday 27th November she ran 9:01.36 in the ACT 3k Champs off a much more evenly run race.
