I mean, she’s 34. Her Rio bronze medal was 9 years ago and her Doha silver was 6 years ago. She’s done. Great career, but it’s time for her to hang it up.
I think she should go to the longer roads stuff. She still enjoys running and pushing herself, that's obvious in her training. Her aerobic base has to be top notch coming from Wetmore/ Bosshard background. She could do some amazing stuff in 10k -half- and full marathon. Would love to see it. I just think this faster stuff isn't suiting her anymore. She still has wheels but it could even be just time for a change mentally/physically. Sara Vaughn did the same thing it and boded very well for her.

When's the last time she had a good day? At this point she's just diminishing her legacy
We call that the Des Linden Syndrome
Ha what? In 2023, Linden ran 2:27 at Boston and then set the masters marathon record in Chicago. In 2024, as a masters runner, she placed 11th at the US marathon trials and 11th at NYC. Diminishing her legacy? Terrible take
