Yep. Radical leftist/vegan lifestyle. Too much time protesting, not enough time training.
Ellie Purrier proves that conservative women do it better.
Considering she is from a state and a county that voted Democrat, and she’s posted about BLM, I don’t think you’re correct in calling her conservative
Sorry buddy, gonna need a source for this
Yes. It is surprising to me considering they are not competitive on the world stage. Plus neither of these two, and I'm sure that you will correct me if I'm wrong, but neither have a huge social media following or outgoing personality. Or anything that makes them standouts other than running.
not their best days. they were beaten by women with slower PRs than them. I would've thought they were going to finish in the 7-10 range.

I remember reading about Deena and Meb wearing 2 sweatsuits while training for the Athens Olympic marathon. They both won medals. Do we know if any US distance runners on the Tokyo team did any specific heat acclimation training?
Yeah. I can't give an athlete by athlete accounting, but loosely following these athletes on Instagram, it seemed very popular among them to do some heat acclimation.
I'm interested to see how Sisson holds up. I think she hit the heat acclimation pretty hard and is really fit so I'm hopeful.
Imo the heat acclimation can help you not totally flop, but there's still gonna be a performance hit no matter what. It's just biology. Times are gonna be slower across the board in distance events.

Jake Riley said on the letsrun podcast that usatf put qualifiers in contact with a heat expert. The expert reviewed Riley’s training and gave advice on how many layers to wear when and other heat related help.

I know you're just baiting but sometimes people prefer to do something they love doing rather than something they feel forced into lol.
They're both easily making 6 figures and will set themselves up well for a career in track afterwards so who cares lol.
Why do you laugh at the end of every sentence lol?

Idiot. Do you remember Rio? SEVEN Olympic distance medals for the US.
Do I need to remind you of them or were you still in middle school then.
All of those medals coming from Nike-sponsored systematic doping.
Just because you write it doesn't make it true:
800 - Murphy (Akron)
1500 - Centro (NIKE / ALSAL)
5000 - Chelimo (US Army)
Steeple - Jäger (NIKE/BTC)
Marathon - Rupp (NIKE/ALSAL)
1500 - Simpson (New Balance)
Steeple - Coburn (New Balance)
3 of the 7 are from Nike clubs.
The stupidity on this board is astounding..................
Pretty wild levels of expectations and supposed expertise on this incendiary thread. It would be nice if people had to identify themselves before posting.
Amazing how many keyboard warriors come out to celebrate/ make conjuncture about two professional young women who didn’t have the day they may have wanted for your entertainment. Also, they make whatever money they are able to, because you’re here and interested in following their respective journeys.
Here are a few fresh ideas for Let’s Run… count your own cash instead of someone else’s. Make your own burritos. Train wherever you think is best for you and go ahead and put yourself in the next Olympic Games! Or perhaps, just be happy that you have the opportunity to watch the quality of competition in the sport you’re so passionate about after having being postponed for a year. Or anything that makes you happy!

Do you laugh out loud in actual spoken conversations too? Is it a nervous tick?

I think they actually ran well. 14:55 at 85 degrees and 90% humidity is worth well faster. Probably not a PR effort for Schweizer but certainly the best 5000 Cranny has ever run all things considered. She can probably go 14:30 low later this year if she chases it in good conditions.
So an existential question for nearly all American distance runners....what's the point? If your best is so far off a global medal, and you have no chance of every closing the talent gap, why bother? There are probably easier ways to earn a living.
Who knows what their limits are? The only known here is that if they don't try they certainly won't ever win a medal. Going to the Olympics will certainly help their chances in the future and American distance running as a community. For some spectators who know nothing it is all about winning a medal but for actual Olympians it's a lot more about the spirit of the community they are in, learning the sport and getting better and they spirit of Olympics. There are many sports where it takes years to get good enough to win a medal.

Lipservice to her radical leftist sponsors. You're gonna have to do better than that.

Sounds like you were never an athlete. Perhaps no one should play basketball if you are never going to be as good Curry or Durant.
