Molly Huddle in Half

She says in the interview I've linked below that she plans to run a marathon before 2016 and perhaps as early as this fall depending on how the track season goes. In any case NYC was a solid debut for her at the half-marathon.

As a marathon trials qualifier and with the early date of LA, it may make sense to have her run both there and later in the track trials.

Holy Puddle!

What was her time?

Perhaps, though she probably could get a bigger appearance fee from New York and it's fairly late as a fall marathon. From the Q&A linked above, it sounds like they are at least looking at fall 2014 races. LA would give her some experience on the course prior to the trials for what that's worth. This result from the NY Half gives her a B qualifier (under 1:15) for the Olympic Trials so she doesn't strictly need another one.

1:09:04

You realize that information is available literally TWO CLICKS from this thread?

what value is there to the thread if you can't even give her time? The lack of information on these race threads is crazy.

1:09 is very fast.

This is a very good result and potentially vaults her into the top echelon of female marathon runners in the US. Perhaps only below Flanagan however with the caveat that we can only go by her half result which may not fully translate to a full. Thoughts?

perhaps championship-wise, but doesnt molly have the USR @ 5k and won recently head to head? or am i misremembering things?

Hey genius, if I realized that then I wouldn't have asked.

She definitely should get paid for her first marathon, she shouldn't let the USATF have her for free. But the marathon course wouldn't be the same as the trials course, would it? I hope LA comes up with a crit course as NYC, Boston and Houston have done.

Is it?

Molly Huddle will NEVER run a marathon. 3 years ago I said the same thing about Lisa Uhl (Koll at the time)and Amy Yoder Begley. There are certain people that do not have the right mentality for these sort of things.

Molly is a great athlete and she knows that the marathon is way out of her comfort level.

I guarantee you she runs a marathon.

What happened to Lisa Knoll. I remember she went back to Iowa to work with her coach but he has since left. Has she finished vet school?

Molly is hot. Only nice comments are acceptable.

Molly will do a marathon.
