Part of the plan. Lydiard didn't forbid tune-up racing, either.

I’ve never heard of stimulus for an aging runner. Do you mean something like an extra day of rest between hard workouts?
Not quite sure why you're being so harsh. Why do you think she's lying about her fitness? Do you have any clue as to how a world class runner trains and prepares in a championship year? I'm pretty confident that Emma knows what she's doing. Coming off a 20 week training block at altitude takes a few races to feel sharp. It also seems that she's being smart and wants to peak for world champs, she knows that her training and racing need to be selective due to her age.
Go Emma!
