She's 45. 46 in February. 2:21? Now I'm not pointing fingers, but you do have to wonder..... Low 5:20 pace for a 45-49 female? I would be skeptical if she ran a 10K at that pace.

2:18 at the casino and about to go back on the grid
If you dial back the intensity and train correctly it's possible to stick around longer - another example would be the Portugese school (Lopes, Silva, Augosto, Moirera, et al).
Of course recent developments in footwear preserve the legs a bit, too.
Finally, as a very small woman with efficient mechanics you're not destroying your body like Fauble or Mottram (only time Fauble will be mentioned in the same sentence as Buster) or Ben True or even Rupp - larger guys who were technically professional for 10+ years but stopped improving / declined / got chronically injured after a while.
You only point fingers because you don't understand the sport.
People on this post are always saying someone who runs fast is doping. Rupp, Farah, all the Kenyans etc etc. Hell even the coverage of Valencia Marathon people were talking about the winners and doping. Therefore if this time of Diver's is such an outlier she too must be suspect of PED's. Same standard for all.

Clearly that's a drug aided performance.
99.9% of posters here haven't and couldn't run a 2:21. A 45 year old woman? These days? D R U G S.

Add to that, the fact that she didn't start running until she was 32 years old. So she's still relatively young in running years.
It's a wonder that anyone ever tries to achieve anything remarkable in running, given that the first response is always inevitably; "cheater!".
If Sinead is doping, then everyone's doping. There never was a more honest and genuine runner than her.
and she only became a professional athlete later in life. high 20's I believe so she's many years behind other prods in terms of beating and smashing her legs up
