I'm generally supportive of runners, but:
- the weather was dreadful
- these records are silly
- isn't that unsafe for the baby? I thought only older babies could use running strollers

Good publicity for running. Most people couldn't relate to or give a hoot about an African man/woman running 27:00/30:30 for a road 10K, but they could relate to the difficulty of pushing a baby stroller, let alone at 6:07 per mile pace for a 10K.

Some years ago this video was posted of a Dad breaking 5:00 in the mile while pushing a baby jogger. One of the comments on YouTube said he did it in 4:48. The video is mildly entertaining.

I've done mile repeats on trails at sub 5:15 pushing pushing my son in a baby jogger, run 15 mile long runs and won a couple 5ks. To the people who commented at the bottom of the artcle, they don't know what they're talking about. The baby was perfectly safe.

As a world record holder, does she chuckle at Alan's silly little american record?

She seems like a really weird chick to me. Anyone else get that vibe?

I don't know what you mean...

Lonely runner boys never KNOW what you mean. Their only experiences are first hand solos.

Manufactures say 6 months, but Consumer Reports recommends waiting a year. This baby was 7 months, so technically safe, but I'd still be nervous.
I'm not a parent yet, but I'm curious when did everyone else started running with their babies? -

I don't understand what you are saying, you are going to have to be a little more clear. -

Not at all. I have had a lot of respect for Julia ever since she came on LR and shut down a bunch of basement dwelling trolls that were bad mouthing Alan. Definitely a tough woman and someone to admire. -
What's her best time for 10km minus the stroller?

parveneh moeyidi can do that all day, every day, for weeks on end

Julia's blog post: http://runteamwebb.wordpress.com/
Does the rain cover help stroller aerodynamics and should stroller rain covers be legal? Is it really a baby size altitude tent being used to mask the effects of PEDs? LetsRun wants to know! I expect the BroJos to get right on this story and answer the important questions like, "Why Paula didn't put this record out of reach when she had the chance?" -
Totally weird, and ok with it. Why else do you think I love Portland ?? http://www.pcs.org/blog/item/why-is-portland-weird/
My 10K PR is pretty terrible. I have never ran it on the track and with my lack of success at 5000m, I am terrified of even attempting it. I would probably be more likely to run a faster time in slop/xc conditions. (I have track ADD combined with over-thinking syndrome that I can't go as hard for anything above 3000m on a track).
I ran 35:48 last year (and noted in my blog that I got my a$$ kicked by over 4 minutes by Emily Infeld in that same race at Tufts) - last fall for me was terrible, so I'd imagine I could likely run a good 90 seconds faster now, but still not gonna touch true professionals which is why I'm just a club level runner.
Hand Shalane a stroller at the start of any 10K road race without ever have previously touched one in her life and she would likely run 34:00 or faster but I know Jerry wouldn't allow that ;) - which is why I got to have fun this past weekend. -

Haha! Nice reply.
You put the WR for stroller running safely out of reach of my wife, by the way. I think she could have had a shot at the 43:xx or whatever it was before.
