Lost in the NBIGP news was Emma Coburn's 2nd in the 2 mile. She was also under Simpson's AR in a time that is better than her 8:41 3000m indoor PR. And a big negative split race. It looked like she was just running off base training, so presumably this bodes well for summer.

She looked very strong. As long as she stays healthy she could absolutely metal in Tokyo

You mean a metal medal?

No, she's gonna throw down a serious race and do some heavy metal running.

Classic Emma.. needs to develop some toughness and develop a kick... she stayed at 68, while Purrier dropped a 63.. so all those 5-seconds in the last 400m... those speed sessions she's doing with Jones and Magee just aren't working.

Classic LetsRun poster.. someone runs the second fastest indoor time in American history and gets criticized for it. Hey, you left out drug accusations, "super shoes", spending too much time on instagram, and internal strife with other females on the Bosshard team. I'm disappointed with your troll attempt.

Interesting she was the only member of Team Boss doing a workout on the track after the meet. The other members may have done it outside somewhere, but she was the only one on the oval as people were leaving

LOL @ the LR posters who said she was scared to take part in the Prickly Pear 3000 with the BTC babes. Emma ran a faster pace than the winner there.

Great 2-mile time, but when someone else is running the same pace and can run 5 seconds fater the last 400m, the handwriting is on the wall for 5k qualifying heats in the Oly trials.

Steeple silly.

When Coburn won the 2013 indoor NCAA title, she ran 4:29.91 for the mile. Yesterday she ran 4:33.63 for the SECOND mile.

So? Hoare won the 1500 yesterday beating a guy who set the NCAA 1500 record in the race.

Dude, Emma Coburn is done. Just got embarrassed by Elle in that race.

Yeah, did you see Emma's face after she congratulated Purrier, it was one of disgust and like, "I suck for all this training and lifestyle"... she has the perfect life, just let the lead slip away the whole race, never took the lead, never got aggressive, just followed until she broke.

I agree with you guys: personal best or not, this was an all-around terrible performance by Coburn. Possibly the worst performance of all time. She should retire. And she's probably a bad person too.

She’s never gotten sharp for indoor season. The fact she’s this fit right now makes me think a sub-9 is coming this season. Meanwhile Chepkoech just dropped a 14:43 road WR and has run 8:22 3k last year so it’ll be tough come Tokyo.

100% this. She barely even PRed. Pathetic. She will probably only manage a silver or bronze in the Olympics. If she somehow lucks into gold again, it will be because the field is soft. This 2 mile race undeniably proves that. Just retire, Emma.

Wow all of these jabs at Emma are so pathetic. You guys didn't even mention that she didn't add a black square on her instagram photo back in 2020 which means she's RACIST!!!!!!

Dude, she’s world champion and an Olympic medalist. What else do you want?

Bro, do you realize who you're talking to? You're talking to "Standard Setter", FFS. Standard Setter has more medals than he can count, and he has American Records coming out of his arse. When SS tells you to develop some toughness and develop a kick, he knows what he's talking about. Standard is so danged tough, he rarely needs to kick, but when he does, he looks like he was shot out of a cannon.
