She says she knows 2:15 is no longer achievable for her but she would like to get back to sub 2:30

2-30 is achievable if she can get the miles in
40 is the new 35 too.. so she can do it
If 40 was the new 35 she would still be able to set a WR.

not if 35 is also the new 30...if you're able to follow the logic
I saw the pictures of her foot and surgery, she has DESTROYED her foot and ankle and she keeps getting injured over and over again. Somebody needs to take her hand and gently lead her away from the track and Roads. Its over, her records will stand though, for at least another half century.

That depends on if 35 is 38.
It would be good to see her finish her career on her own terms rather than be forced out the sport through injury. She clearly loves to run and has been an inspiration to many.

This.
There is nothing healthy about CHRONIC CARDIO aka Marathon training. Not sure why you guys want to destroy your bones, muscles and ligaments when you could pick up CrossFit and get RIPPED and SHREDDED.
Though if she runs even 2:3x she'll be all set for the Rio Olympics.....

True. Great Britain isn't Kenya or Ethiopia, if she is able to train healthy for even just half a year, she should easily be able to qualify for the Olympics.
Please...no...

Oh yes and you know you want it.
It will be an awesome "pre game" report. Can the old mom, the great white hope, hang with the gazelles from KEN/ETH or the drugged up Russians?
And then she is right there in the lead at mile 10.
And then she gets some stomach cramps, stops and cries sitting on the sidewalk.
Big screen dramatic.
WHO???

Dave Bedford gace a talk at our running club (fee 2 pints). He said she is finished in term of competitive running and the most she could hope for is a bit of easy running. Training for the marathon on the roads with her injuries is madness.
