When's her next race? Looks like she's just given up.

She's 36 and had a wonderful career, nothing wrong with that.
Many women run fast marathons in their late-30s. Also it seems her running form got a lot worse in the last year (if that was even possible).
She’s run way more races in the last 2 years than Quigley. Gwen seems like she actually has an interest in competing whereas I’ll be shocked if Quigley squeaks in a time qualifier before the trials.
I kind of wonder why she is not having another kid yet if she is not racing much. She posted a few years ago she would have a handful of them if she were not a professional athlete. It would make her content less forced.
Just an Olympic gold medalist now.
I prefer her approach to Centro's.
They are all influencers. If they have a youtube channel, they are an influencer.

When wasnt she??
She's an olympic gold medalist. I don't know why this board continues to treat her as if she's some clueless idiot. She's doing what she loves and is making money for it.
I'd also add that the fact that she hasn't always succeeded is at the very least a sign that shes not a doper like some of her ex BTC teammates so she has my full respect.
Photos on instagram seem to show evidence of pregnancy -- compare and contrast with previous photos and it seems obv.
today's Youtube video was her literally going after a 0.49mi strava segment like a high school boy... so she's about as far away from getting an Olympic gold in the marathon as you can get...

just had a look at this... aiming to run 0.47M @ 5:24/M so a bit shorter than a 2:41/800... from a 15:03 athlete, in Alphaflys.
Covid recovery or not, that is an insane new depth to stoop to for YouTube views & convincing yourself this is adequate training
Did she start her own crypto coin and then do a rug pull? I know she didn’t but that’s what Kim Kardashian did so that’s why I ask
It's entirely odd to make a youtube video of chasing down a random 1/2 mile segment in front of burnt down houses in suburbia. Her marketing is just plain weird and not sure who she's trying to market to.

Congratulations and best wishes.
Also, just speaking generally on this topic: This board seems to love to hate Jorgensen. But I have a fair amount of sympathy for athletes caught in this exact career moment. She won the gold in tri, took a big swing and shifted exclusively to running, and chose to chronicle the journey for public consumption and sponsor income, like any professional athlete might. The big swing didn't work out, and now she's in the twilight of her career at 36 and knows it -- but she's also built an audience and an income stream that depends on living in public to a degree. This is a fascinating, bittersweet transitional time for any professional athlete at any level, and making that pivot is an art form. I wish her well.
