Is Jenny Simpson retired?

I will give you top secret training for 1500m/5000m runners past age 35:

Don't cut mileage for indoor season. Skip indoor season. Two workouts/week. One mile repeat on the road, one 300m hill workout.

Don't tell anyone.

She is retired whether she knows it or not.

Back in the fall she faced the major problems with the fires that were very close to her house in fact didn't she have to evacuate? Sure this put back her training for a time and still working on getting back into it

Jenny Simpson is always good for an unfiltered, controversial take.

I assumed she was stepping up to road or 10k? Would like to see her go Nick Willis and keep running 1500, but I think she wants to win. Its getting crazy crowded at the top on the track MD.

Hear, hear! Have missed her.

Yeah, I thought there was a theory that she might do the10,000.

You might want to look back at 2021 and when she opened up.

What would be the equivalent to running sub 4 every year for 20 years for women? Sub 4:05 1500m?

Would love to see her debut a marathon. She was so good at the 1500 we never got to see her move up but I don't think it is too late to see her put up some awesome marathon performances. She has been training at Colorado altitude for the last 18+ years and the aerobic base has to be there.

Yes she is, how did you miss that announcement?

105 men in the world have broken 4 in the indoor/outdoor mile this year and it's March 1st. Only 50 women broke 4:05 all 2021 (and more people run the 1500 globally than run the mile).

Another way to look at it, 13 high school boys have broken 4 in US history while Mary Cain is the only high school girl to break 4:07, let alone 4:05. She's also the only female high schooler to break 4:32 for the mile.

Put another way, 4:05 is only a second slower than world/Olympic standard, so would be more equivalent to a 3:36-3:37 1500 which is way faster than a 4:00 mile.

I'd say the female equivalent to sub 4 mile is somewhere around 4:13-4:15 for the 1500.

She is getting her MBA at Harvard School of Business.

That's kind of interesting. It would suggest that Mary Cain's high school 4:04 for 1500 is superior to Alan Webb's 3:53 mile, even Hobbs' 3:34.

Remember the interview a few years ago where she was critical of the NOP then when someone asked about her seeing Dr. Brown she said how her health record should be kept private?

So hypocritical

How is that hypocritical?

The video in question.
