Emma Coburn runs indoor mile - sets facility record

She wasn’t anywhere close to the facility record.

Happy for her. Shes still got it- Go Emma!

You’re a sick individual. Go get some therapy

Pathetic insult. 4:33 in Boulder converts to 4:26, better than her 4:28 pb from Feb 2023. Still, it doesn't indicate whether or not she can stack up injury-free training weeks going forward. In 2019, Coburn opened the year with 4:32 in Boston and clocked a 9:02 steeple at the end of the summer. In 2023, she never ran faster than 9:13. A strong 8:3X next month would add some heft to her 2025 debut.

Great result to open up the season, wishing her the best this year

That said, didn't Monson run 4:26 in practice on that track? I guess it wouldn't be a facility record since it wasn't in an official race, but still.

Jenny Simpson has the current record but Emma has broken the facility records there many times in the past.

good result. not great.

it's good to see her healthy. also, kinda seems like she's fishing for some MOM attention. I don't blame her. It's a weird world we're living in when that's something that can sort of be monetized.

She didn’t give birth…

Does anyone have a link to the field house records? Note that the new track is just 2 years old. How much faster did Jenny Simpson run faster on the old Balch track? Note though she was sub 4 for outdoors in college.

Kara Goucher said it was a facility record, maybe she was mistaken. still a great result.

Another beta boy loser that is afraid of women and threatened by them 🤭

how so?

8 months after shattering her ankle? Pretty good start. Assume she’d be under 4:30 in another week or two?

Solid result. Glad she isn’t sliding quietly into the night of retirement.

Great to see her running this year and hopefully until 2028 or longer, Some were calling her to retire on a thread a few months ago, I am glad she is going.

That is a great and unexpected result. I love to see it! 4:33.13 in Boulder is worth about 4:26-27, according to the NCAA altitude conversion (about 6-7 seconds for a performance like this). This is close to her best all-time for 1500m/mile, which I believe is her 4:32.72 at Grand Junction, Colorado in 2020. Her official pr is 4:28.8 in 2023 at the Track in Boston. Her 3k flat pr is 8:39 from 2021. I think she's got a good chance to beat that indoors this year.

Her 4:03.82 1500m pr, however, is worth about 4:23.3. But this is still a great result for January at this stage in her career.
