Her run was amazing and deserves its own thread.
Article here:
She tied the masters world record with the 15:48.
I realized earlier this year Deena is 5 months older than me. 15:48 is incredible. Anyone else really, really impressed by this?
She inspired me to go run today. Keep it going Deena.
Excellent time for a 42 year old.
How about Monica Joyce, 16:19 when 51 years old:

I believe Monica was 50 when she ran that UNbelievable time. Sorry Wejo, you should know you won't get a lot of love on these boards for great Master's (and esp. not for Sr.Master) results. These young'uns just don't get it. And to be fair, until I hit my 50's and stopped improving, I really didn't get it either. But now that I do, it's opened a whole nother world of great performances to oogle at (Whitlock, Joanie, Sean Wade tring to go under 4:20 etc….).
Just another great performance from Kastor (consider how few American women run sub 15:30 and this was on the roads), even though she is much better, relatively speaking, at the half marathon and marathon than 5k.

Wow that's amazing, I only started running at age 27 (now 28) so this gives me tons of hope.
bravo!
Damn on that Joyce lady!!! VERY IMPRESSIVE at 50!!! shed blow away the MEN in my town haha
A good run and praise should be given.
However to put it into perspective, Meb and Lagat are both a similar sort of age and they are still near the top of the pile of American distance running. Maybe age (at least up into the early 40s) is not such a barrier against top level performances?
Not so amazing... becAuse
Kastor is DRUG CHEAT!!!!!
Same as friend RADCLIFFE biggest DRUG CHEAT OF ALL TIME!!!
Drug cheats flock together.
Meanwhile Kara Goucher can't break 16:30 and is pushing 140 pounds.
