Who is the poster woman of distance running?
Who is the poster woman of distance running?
Strange question, but probably Athing since she's American and polished. Sha'carri is a little too wild and more controversial. In the global running community or among hardcore fans, I'd say Kipyegon. She's probably the most well-liked person in athletics rn. Her competitors love her and she the most impressive based on track performances at the moment. Three years ago I would've said Hassan.
I am turnt off Kava forgive me for not remembering that your q was about distance running. Maybe Em Sisson.
Duh Nikki Hiltz
I thought it would be Kara goucher or st Pierre
What about wormwood or wormtongue or whatever her name is
Right now its Parker Valby. The girl who transferred to Flagler is up there too though.
In America, our newly-crowned world champion Elle St Pierre. No one else comes close. If she manages a medal in Paris, perhaps even a gold one, she could become a household name.
Ummmm ever heard of Jordan Hasay?
Of the names mentioned Desiree Linden has the most IG follower
In the US, its currently Elle St Pierre.
Worldwide, it’s probably Faith Kipyegon.
Sifan Hassan would be up there too, she is fearless across several events.
Little Miss Mary Decker
Suzy Favor Hamilton
i'm not sure which is worse, you thinking instagram likes matter. or you researching that.
Kara Goucher
If you mean real distance, hands down it’s Courtney Dauwalter. Destroying every ultramarathon she enters, including the UTMB.
Francie Larrieau!
not sure about right now but recent ones:
When bowerman was thriving: karissa Schweizer
Emma coburn right around her world championship win
in Australia: Genevieve lacaze
No one outside Murica even knows who Varker Palby is.
