What shoes will she be wearing?

What shoes will she be wearing?
I just put the article up and have two questions that I'm going to follow up myself with Jonathan Gault on. One is along the same lines you are thinking.
1) How is she getting to the race? Isn't there a European ban on US travel?
2) When Treacy said Huddle was in 66:30-40 shape in her prime that was presumably with old shoes. Does he think she'd run faster with the new shoes (although I read Huddle doesn't respond well to the new shoes)? Is Sisson a responder to the shoes?
Actually I have a third question.
I'm assuming this isn't a mass participation race. Any chance it can be delayed a day so the wind can die down? Earlier in the summer, I did make Jon tell the organizers I wanted the 10k record attempt delayed a few days due to heat. Shows you how much power I have ;)
DGAF, records are overrated.
To answer your questions Rojo:
1) How is she getting to the race?
Well Americans have been competing in Europe since the summer. A bunch went over for the Diamond Leagues and three of them ran the London Marathon. There are narrow exceptions to the travel ban and elite athletes are one of them.
2) Re: the shoes, I assume he meant the old shoes (Huddle ran 67:25 at 2018 Houston in the old shoes when she was sick and not as fit as in 2016). I didn't ask him anything about shoes so I don't know about your other questions.
3) I doubt they would postpone it. It may not be a mass participation race, but there are still 260 runners. It takes a lot of effort to put these events on, set up the course, block off roads, get the broadcast done, etc. This is not a small operation. I would expect the date/times are set in stone at this point.
I was surprised that Sisson ran the trials in the 1500. Either she is a major non-responder, or NB really flubbed on producing their carbon plate shoe in time.
Definitely the latter. The RC just wasn't where it needed to be, it was still in testing phase at that point. I had heard that it was close in tests to the OG Vaporfly but NB haven't published any data at any stage. I know a few people with the RC now and they like it but none of them would wear it for a race over the VF
And you want us to pay for journalism when you don't even proofread your pieces?

Yiannis Kouros had something to say about people like you.
There is no way she wont be in some sort of NB version of a carbon super shoe. Especially if she is going for AR. It would be good press for NB.

Sisson has never run the 1500 at the Trials.

Nobody said she ran. the 1500m. They said. she ran in the 1500s. Or at least shoes that looked a lot like them. The question is will she be wearing the fuel cell RC going forward. And if those shoes will help her.
Good luck to her. Her PB is 67.30. Fighting it out for sixth with Brenda Jepleting. Certainly not near the top three.

If she finishes in the top 3 will you stop posting for two months?
I don't think I can answer why this is, but it seems like we are far behind the rest of the world when it comes to distance running. Didn't an Ethiopian woman just run 64:46 with many others on her heels? Ms. Sisson is a great runner but it is astounding that so many Africans are so far ahead. One reason that the NBA is popular is that it is the best basketball in the world. Our US distance running is analogous to the Australian Pro league. Our lack of success limits its popularity. Can we ever consistently compete?
There is no European travel ban from the US. How about a 10 second search on Google before asking a silly question.
High 68’s even if she wears carbon shoes.
Prediction: 67:20
Great 5 mile time trial. Tons of miles and healthy covid training. Just hope NB doesn't try a bad shoe experiment.
Of course, bad winds will slow everything down.

Is that REALLY what you are after? Proof reading?

No. I would get bored.
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
