What is Mary Cain doing with her life?

She is getting a Jesuit Education in The Bronx

She should have gone to Dartmouth

Coaching is an interesting "profession". Guys like Salazar develop beliefs about what works and what doesn't based on tiny sample sizes that aren't nearly big enough to support good science. We don't know what makes a Jess Andrews blossom (a new boyfriend and a nice training environment in Andorra?), or what makes a Mary Cain go stale (sudden self-realization that her powers aren't superhuman?). It could be Salazar's fault, it could also be a misalignment of Jupiter with Mars. Nobody knows. I would also call your attention to Tara Welling's recent success (written off for dead a couple of years ago) - anybody here predict that one?

Nice post.

Hopidfully drinkin', smokin', and consentual intercourse!

Mary Cain is done, son. She got out before the hammer comes down on Al Sal and the NOP doping.

Science isn't based off of sample sizes. You must be a Bernie Sanders supporter.

The Oirish prefer Villa- Novah. Mary's Oirish.

That's 100% BS. Simply a lie that's repeated because it's a good excuse for bad behavior. Mary Cain's body changed because she started wolfing down food. For most females the body will not change after 15-16 if they stay on the same diet and exercise level. Puberty starts earlier and ends earlier for girls. Yes, hip structure will increase slightly for decades, but that of the order 1/32 inch a year and will not have any impact whatsoever on running ability.

Stop lying.

Not true, young fellow. I have counseled many young girls as they turn into women here at Miss Porter's School for Girls. There many physical and psychological challenges. I suggest you bullies leave this young woman alone.

You're forgetting the fact that intense exercise procrastinates puberty. While most girls don't start running until modified sports (at a very easy level at that) or high school, many swim or play other intense travel sports. Girls as a whole still do go through puberty earlier though, afaik.

Well, the original question was about what she's doing with her life, and I'm sure she''ll be just fine. She's a smart hardworking student from a supportive family background who's been taking a load of science and math courses and seems headed to a career in medicine. Admirable, and good for her.

Absolutely correct, sir. Running in circles leads nowhere.

Seek help!!

I can't believe everyone attacking "just stop it" on this thread. I thought we were LRC, not Jogger's World. This lie will continue to be perpetuated if truth-tellers are shamed and made to feel like they have a problem.

I agree that "just stop it" is rough in his approach and seems to have very little tact, but his point is completely valid (and correct). Here is what he is saying:

-There is a myth that girls get slower as the age due to "natural changes in their bodies".

-This myth is not true. If girls stick to a strict (and safe/healthy) diet while maintaining or increasing their training regime, then they will improve until their peak years (mid 20s - mid 30s depending on the athlete)

This is spot on. Kudos to those who have the guts to say it. Is it easier for guys? It sure is. We have higher muscle-fat ratio (naturally) and faster metabolisms. We can do nothing for long stretches and "get it back" quickly with the help of weight loss. Not as easy for women... no one is disputing that.

Also, Mary Cain can do whatever the hell she wants and doesn't have to regiment her eating habits/training habits for anyone. For all I know, she might not care about being an elite runner and that is fine. The point stands though: Mary Cain's regression has NOTHING to do with physical changes that are beyond her control. This excuse is utter garbage.

If she had gone to Villanova she would have some penn relays watches but never make an NCAA final

On the contrary, she'd have both and a nice long career after college. See Marty Liquori, Eamonn Coghlan, Marcus O'Sullivan.[/quote]

Anybody since the first Clinton administration ever win anything other than a penn relays watch?

She doesn't have to do workouts after races any more.

Watching this video is odd. Are days like this the reason why Cain and Hasay can't run well anymore?

I heard she was in prison in Kona

Hard for Villanovans and Oreonians to beat the druggies.

She probably has so many reduction clauses she owes Nike money! Hope she saved up from a couple of years ago.

pretty much

Hasay was having fun with the workout until the last rep. Cain was dutifully following instructions but did not look happy. That's crazy hard training, following a race, for a teen.
