The problem with this theory is that she's been this thin and running this well for about 5 years. So not like a typical malnourishment situation where someone loses weight and gets 1-2 years of good running before stress fractures etc.
She used to not run in winter at all because Alaska, so probably her body is not used to the extra training yet.
Those 3 months off from running to play school basketball each winter certainly contributed to saving her from overuse injuries.
Give the girl a break. She's hurt. Runners of all sizes get injured. No need to kick her when she's down.
For those who have forgotten, she was hurt at the end of last spring:
Then went on to have a fantastic fall and winter.

THIS 10/10
Exactly, people. Brazier's back stiffened up on him in the 800. Is he done? When you're pushing your body close to the red line, you can get sick or injured. And all this weight talk - ESPECIALLY about female runners - when you run, A LOT, you get skinny. I ran the 5k in college (yes, I still remember my best time, 14:16.8!). I stuffed myself in college - and drank beer - and was 5' 7'' and 124 pounds when I graduated. That's what running 80 miles a week and doing cross-training will do for you. Allie O and Molly S are tough as nails and have a great future ahead of them. Sure, maybe they need to ease up and put things in perspective sometime... but that drive is what makes them great. Did people ever tell Michael Jordan to ease up, dude, you're working out too hard??? They seem to have good people around them. Let THEM do the coaching.
RIP: D3 All-American Frank Csorba - who ran 13:56 in March - dead
RENATO can you talk about the preparation of Emile Cairess 2:06

Great interview with Steve Cram - says Jakob has no chance of WRs this year
