I just want to add that I'm not a sexual pervert, even though I do things like this all the time.

Yeah to be honest when I saw that flotrack interview I was flabbergasted. Allie's teammate is even shorter than Allie!

Just as EDs 'do not look like anything' it is also not true that every fast girl has and ED, nor is it often true that girls with EDs maintain muscle mass in their uppers arms. EDs are a serious issue, but Molly S does not exemplify what we typically see (other than getting really fast... do you also jump to the conclusion that she's doping?) Discussing the problem of EDs and running individuals down do not have to go together.

It is not logical to pick one person (Genzebe DIbaba) and suggest that everyone should look like her if they want to pass your sniff test.FInally, Allie O and Molly S do not even vaguely look similar in most aspects.

Molly looks just like any number of other top runners, I would say even a bit more solid than say, Deena Kastor, who has some of the best longevity in the sport. Equating her with obviously underweight runners in other programs is trolling at best. Most ED girls do well as freashman/soph, then decline. Molly has done the opposite.

/thread.

Alright people all I'm asking for is some tips on Molly's strength program. Let's all agree that Molly HAS leaned out. BUT, she is VERY healthy and STRONG. And with Allie O. she has ALWAYS been that tiny. She would've burnt out by this year if she had an ED. No one can have a long period of success throughout high school with an ED and achieve a top 5 finish at D1 NATIONALS. So again...ANY idea on her program???

I know some of the people on the Notre Dame team, male and female, but I don't persoally know Molly. I know they barely lift. They run a lot and cross train if they need to. Focus is on body weight resistance, but also a mix of high weight/low rep. I can ask my friends on the team ad get back with you.

But really, they just run a lot, do abs, and some aqua jog/bike for "doubling"

Yes, this.

I actually thought she looked quite muscular compared to those she was running against in some of the pics posted. She looks very healthy. If anyone has the answer to this, please post.

And why is it that nobody is talking about Ches being like 50 lbs less than his closest competitor?? Seriously I'd like to see the disparity between Ches and Tiernan on the scale.

That's because there's quite a large height difference.

A woman builds 90 percent of her peak bone mass by age 18, so if she is not menstruating during those years, she'll be at a lifelong disadvantage and particularly susceptible to the worst consequences of the triad.

High School parents and coaches need to be aware of this. Strong bodies are built in the years before college.

Maybe I am misreading this thread, but why on earth would we suspect Molly to be struggling with Erectile Disfunction? She looks pretty happy to me, which probably means she is not struggling sexually.

Men don't menstruate, and don't have weak bones

Laughed my ass off at this

I've had the privilege of watching Molly race and kill her competition since she was a freshman...in HIGH SCHOOL. She does not have an eating disorder, she is naturally like that. Very little has changed.

I think we forget that Molly has freak genetics, and combined with an amazing work ethic, she is what she is. Check out her legs in the banquet shot,

Of ALL the girls in the banquet, if you would have guessed who would win on musculature alone, Molly would have won to a non-follower of the sport. She has amazing definition, little fat, and is constantly contracted, as an athlete should be.

Freak of nature, in my opinion.

She's on the Laura Hollander-Bethan Knights plan. You see what happened to them. And Molly has struggled with stress fractures since she was in HS so she has not escaped injury. Why do you think she's just now getting her due in college? She's been injured up unto this point. Now that she's had success at this weight she needs to be careful because this is the zone where the bone injuries will start popping up again. Also, Allie will likely put on some weight but to me she just looks like she has a small frame. Molly is definitely underweight in a problematic way.
