Why did she say the 3:49 was her first marathon? She ran a 3:20 eight months before that.

Okay? So she was out of shape. And she’s not out of shape anymore
According to that argument the average out of shape runner could end up running an American record. 3.49 shows more than being "out of shape" - it shows no talent. 2.19 is chemically produced.
So you believe that any average, run of the mill, no talent 3:49 marathon runner can take some chemicals and run 2:19? Must be some good stuff... imaging if she actually had talent... she'd probably be setting the world record.
If she was walking then the 3:49 doesn't indicate too much... just that she was under-trained and probably didn't care about her finish time.
Normal progression.? For her age? Are you dumb? No one take 10 years off, starts running again in their LATE 30's, then magically drops 2 hours from their marathon time in a couple years without some chemical assistance.
Yeah, because Nike has NEVER doped any of their athletes before. Let alone any athletes who are running slower than national record times.
Must've been a fun run for her with friends or something. She's totally effortless at the finish.

You don't understand how PED's work, do you?
True. And neither did she.
She said she wasn't in shape and ended up walking a good part of the later miles.

It shows that some improvements are too good to be true. That's what doping does.

So her success is due to Weight Watchers? I had no idea she was that fat.
Haha a 4 hours Marathon indicates mediocre talent even if out of form. Makes peds even more likely

She looks like she is at a healthy weight in the video posted above. As someone else posted, Keira said she walked/jogged a lot of the second half after shooting for a 3:20. Her strong finish in her video clip backs up her story that she picked it up after she was about to be passed by the 3:50 pacer (the guy carrying balloons that finishes a little bit after her).
