Meh, Shalane seems to be all about Shalane.
Imagine inviting your current coach and former training partner to your wedding, and they didn’t show up.
Agreed - I wonder what all of the athletes she’s been coaching think about her current racing schedule. If it were just one marathon it might not be that big a deal but week after week of this has to be distracting/frustrating. Maybe slightly better that’s it’s at least in the off-season - but I’m sure it still stings for Emily.
Good points, but Emily is a runner as well and may love following the sport (like us) so she may be trying/curious to see how Shalane will do :) Conversely, she may be understanding of the situation.
She's from the town I grew up in and is rocking and representing Greater Cleveland!
