- Molly, Will have to lose Muscle to be a good marathoner.

Looking at her vs. Sally Kipyego at the finish today , Molly even though she is tiny and really lean, shes still too muscular to be 2:19 etc. She can do pullups, even though that's sexy, too much back muscle for marathon. Muscle is a very metabolically demanding tissue the more you have the more blood flow it demands. Her butt is too muscular, good for that 10k kicking speed, maybe bad for the marathon. You have to basically look like the Kenyans - stick figures.

Why is she even trying the marathon? Just ran an American record in the 10k, I guess for the money and recognition.

I think what he's trying to say is that she weighs too much.

A TON more money and recognition. Winning a marathon major is worth much more in money and endorsements than lowering the 10K american record by a few more seconds. That is why we see more and more young East Africans going straight to the marathon and bypassing the track. See today's 20-yr old male winner for a prime example. We will soon be following in the US... runners like Hasay will bypass track immediately for the marathon where there is far more money and fame. I think we will see more and more gals and guys graduate from NCAA and go straight to the marathon.

You are so right. She should not be running marathons, which would give us the opportunity to criticize her for that.

I think a healthy Hasay would have been in-the-money today at NYC. Tenth place was 2:37. That seems pretty slow for 10th place? Not sure, but seems like that would be very doable for Hasay. She won USA 10-miler recently but apparently skipped today's Pittsburgh 10-miler?? Hope she is OK, and would love to see her debut at Boston.

Going straight to the marathon is what Hadley tried to do. Burnt. Toast.

Hadley wasn't even a top HS runner.

Kinda funny you are criticizing a woman who just finished 3rd at a major marathon as not being a good marathoner.
She picked up $65K in prize money today. Probably matches her prize winnings for the year.

You are insane. I couldn't help but notice her gorgeous legs, so much more attractive than those of the stick people.

Oh wait, were not supposed to make comments like that any more. They're micro aggressions.

It would be nice if you spent your time doing more productive things than commenting on how runners look. For instance, by reading LetsRun's articles on how impressive Molly's performance was for a debut, and how she ran the last 5.2 miles faster than any other woman.
Take a look at this picture and explain to me how her arms are too muscular: https://www.instagram.com/p/BMekOdaDTwc/?taken-by=linseycorbin&hl=en

Disagree about Molly.
Who was the girl that led the first few miles, she's the one carrying too much muscle on her legs.
I was thinking the entire time she was at the front, she looks smooth and effortless, but I can't see someone with thighs that big winning this.
Couldn't pick her name out of the results, don't know if she finished.

Maybe he meant she'd freed herself from all extra weight? Or autocorrect. Or, could be dumb.

That is not a micro aggression.You should at least know what you're talking about before you attempt sarcasm.
