Just saw in Tim Rowberry’s (her coach) Instagram post that Sifan will make her marathon debut in London in April. Obviously she has fantastic potential at the distance, should make for an exciting race.

That's it. It's over. That's okay. No elite 1500m specialist goes to Marathon and ever return to the track as an elite 1500m runner.

She will run well but not up to her level on the track. Her form is not suited for the marathon.

Obiri has 2 Olympic silvers and 2 World titles in the 5k and only a World silver in the 10k.

Benzene Divaba ran 2:18 so I think Aidan Hassan can go under 2:18. I don’t think she’ll run <2:16

okay fair, i think she will have success under Ritz in the 10k, but she already made the decision to switch to the marathons last year. There's way more money in roads as well.

if you consider her like a female Farah, his M debut was at London in 2014. He ran 3:28 at Monaco the following year.

Radcliffe had great form below her neck. Her boggling head distracted that.

Full field. No Chepngetich, and no Gidey - she's going back to the track.

Also no Obiri as well.

Killer lineup! Hard to pick even a top 3. I’ll go with:
Yehualaw, Ayana, Jepchirchir (not in any particular order).

Yep. Paula in super shoes would smash them all. Nonetheless we’re in for a treat this year.

Jepchirchir is a total racer. She's won every marathon she's raced since 2019. That includes flat courses like Valencia and hilly courses like Boston and New York. It's not quite Kipchoge levels of consistency, but it's getting there. Smart money is on her to win
