It was planned. if
PS: we planned this knowing that we would have 6+ months to get ready for Tokyo Olympics!
is enough time is hard to say. I am going with no.... Seems like ~18months is closer for most people...
Big risk here, but thus the challenge of being a woman. Let the LetsRun hate commence ...
That said, Des better stay ready.
Such a fluke team we’re sending to Sapporo. Should probly have a new trials race in 2021 or just send Sara Hall, Sisson, and I guess Seidel
#TruthHurts
She’ll pull a ‘Desi in London’ and lose respect from many.
She needs to offer up her spot.
But congrats to her and her hubby and ?? for a healthy little one.
I think Seidel is the real deal. She did well in London with gas left in the tank.
The rest ... Well, it's 2020. Which will soon be well, it's 2021!

Kara Goucher ran her PR in Boston only 7 months post partem. Aliphine will be just fine.
She will be the media darling in Tokyo is she can make it there. Glad she’s is starting a family and taking advantage of the good pr.

She'll probably PR post pregnancy. Fred VanVleet couldn't miss after his son was born

Isn't it ironic that after London 2012, Desi is the person who would benefit if Aliphine doesn't consider herself ready and withdraws? Desi kept the spot and dropped out after 2 miles. If Aliphine makes it to the starting line, she might not be at 100%, but my guess is that she'd at least finish respectably.
What I find pretty fascinating is this is made widely public a month out. I know people are isolating, but I would have thought this news would have leaked by now. Hard to hide a pregnancy especially when you are that size.

Nonsense. Plenty of time. This is not the 1950s where women were basically treated as invalids after giving birth.

Yeah, but she was on the AlSal sauce.
Tuliamuk, born in a tiny Kenyan village near the Ugandan border, is one of 32 children on her dad’s side and eight on her mom’s side.
What does this mean?

It was boston 2011. Everyone was on the sauce of that huge tail wind which made them 2 mins faster than they were in other races. Goucher was ~20s slower over 10k.
Obviously there is a bit of individuality with how much and long people can run in pregnancy. Some gals do it up until delivery. Others stop a months before. And obviously people come back to fitness at different rates. Some people need 12 months. Others seem to round into form much quicker. I bet if you look at a 100 people, you will find that most are faster 18 months after giving birth than 6 months.
In the end it is her choice and I hope things work out for her. It isn't like we would be leaving medal hopeful home by sending her.

It means this line is irrelevant to this thread's topic. More power to Aliphine, her husband, and baby-on-the-way, it's nice to see more good things happen to nice people.
Also what has sally kipyego done since Atlanta?
Des goes to Sapporo/Tokyo. Don’t let us down!
I noticed she wasn't training with the team, per Instagram, and figured she was injured or had come down with Covid. I will say pretty stealth of her and her team / friends to keep it under wraps for so long.
