Except that's not true, since she is only one of two athletes to have the standard and only 1 of three to be high enough in the world rankings in the 5000m anyway, plus has the bye for the other two events, so even if her country had a requirement to choose people for worlds, she'd be picked in all of the three anyway.
Who the f are these people saying she’s gained 20 lbs? Have they not seen pictures of the race? People clearly don’t know what gaining 20 lbs looks like. She’s gained 5 at most and I’d say less than that. She also was using it as a tempo run
her butt is triple the size it was. her torso is thicker. her arms and back are no longer shredded. 10 pound weight gain min.
but who cares? she's healthy and a living legend. should enjoy life and get back to hardcore training and lifestyle only when she's ready
Apparently she went and got married after last season and moved to a different country for a few months. She didn’t bring any of her running shoes and didn’t tell her coach she wasn’t going to train until she got there.
She is about 10 pounds heavier. That will limit her to about 14:40.
If that is the case, maybe skip Worlds this year, concentrate on Budapest Next Year, maybe run a half Marathon in December-January during base, then have a full season the next 2-3 years
^^ this aged very well. I guess she swapped out the half marathon for the London Marathon
