Yeah, I thought Mary Cain would be racing sprint triathlon every weekend because of how short they are and how quick you can recover from them. They are not like a marathon where you might need a couple months to recover. At this rate, Kipchoge is going to race more marathons this year than Mary Cain races any activity.
As a woman, I find Mary Cain irritating because I do think at one point she gained a significant amount of weight (by professional running standards) and she got slower, but she portrays it like she was being starved. She doesn't race, yet she has positioned herself as someone we should all look up to in the sport as she gets magazine covers and speaking gigs and the coaching position at Tracksmith despite not doing anything to deserve this admiration in many, many years. It comes across as grifting, a sort of scam she's pulling.
Yup, exactly what I think (minus me being a woman). Her most recent "Army of Survivor" position as a Director and attempting to getting her social media followers to donate only resulted in like $250 after a whole month which makes me think I'm not the only one not buying all her BS.
