Just posted a newsletter update that she’s quitting T&F this year.
Just posted a newsletter update that she’s quitting T&F this year.
Who doesn't think that she quit track well before leaving Bowerman? She ought to go fully into triathlon three years ago, or quit athletics altogether. Why stick with something that you are failing at, when you could find some new avenue in life? Instagram likes and money seem like a pretty hard field to continue to succeed at... dominated by young, social media-minded people/fiends who may actually have no credentials, but look the part ...why put yourself through that, if it's a losing game?
Side point: how is an athlete being inspirational and soaking up likes, when they are perpetually injured? Shouldn't the person stop doing what is hurting them and harming their quality of life, or at some point get their Rocky story together?
Because her job is influencer
What event is she even training for? Is she going to try and qualify for the U.S. Steeple Trials at the last possible race?
this.
Need I remind you this gal ran an 8:28 at BU, and a 9:10 steeple?
And I the last 3 years she has run like 2 races that were noticeably slower. I sort of hoped she could pull things together and have one last solid 9 month training block, but I have seen little evidence of that.
She has gotten absurd amount of hate over the years for pretty much no reason. She far out performed what people thought she would do in college.
So are we within twelve months from a tell all about the Bowerman Track Club?
According to World Athletics, her last few years were:
2021: one 3000m
2022: two steeplechases (best 9:36)
2023: one 1500m, one steeplechase (9:32), one road mile, one road 5K
2024: nothing
Maybe she’s moving up to the ‘Thon or Ultras.
Off the btc special sauce and can't stay healthy / run as fast.
Sorry. What is 'Thon
In aggregate, U.S. elite 3000m to 10000m athletes are faster today than they were 25 plus years ago, but their training or social media posting is making U.S. 3000m to 10000m athlete race backwards from about age 28. Ms. Quigley is only 31 years old.
I'll certainly miss her
She ran 9:18 in 2018.
Hopefully she is switching to Only Fans.
As long as she doesn’t show her gums.
I’m curious what type of person subscribes to a CQ newsletter.
She's been a noncompetitive has been for at least 3 years. She's basically a brand ambassador at this point. I think if she transitioned to triathalon a few years back she could have been competitive. In steeple she isn't competitive.
Does she know she hasn't been in track for 5 years?
