Athing Mu now running the mile at Millrose - let the predictions begin

I don't think Mu would be good at the discus

who else is in it.

when she ran that 4:16 last spring, was she the winner?

i think she can run mid to high 4:20s if her aim is to be competitve.

this is exciting

If she can run a top notch mile -- low 4:20s of better-- she will have established herself as a uniquely talented and versatile long sprinter/middle distance runner

She is younger than Tuohy.

she did win in her 4:16 1500. we have not seen the best she has to offer.

I'm actually really curious to see this. Can she break 4:30?

But why the mile? She could win the 800m and try for an indoor record.

4:31 is my prediction.

Raevyn Rodgers ran a 4:29 last year for reference.

Going to break the American 1500 record in 3 years.

and ran a 4:14 1500 2 months before that it looks like. Pretty similar to Mu. So a pretty good chance of breaking 4:30 then.

I'm looking forward to this. Lot of slow @ss neckbeards calling Athing Mu lazy, slow, etc. I hope she crushes it.

DNF. Tight turns, big field and long legs don't mix. I say she trips during the 2nd lap.

You must be new here

I dare you to show me one person calling her lazy or slow.

She's going to win this race. If she doesn't, she'll still be top-5.

See this comment in Athing Mu thread from a day or two ago:

I noticed that Nikki Hiltz is listed with a USA affiliation instead of Adidas. Their Instagram bio also no longer mentions Adidas.
