All this whining about people applauding Hasay. Failed to get on with their own day. His glass is completely empty, same as his brain.

Would just like the challenge notion of tough conditions. Obviously no humidity is preferable to humidity and 50 degrees would be preferable to 70 degrees, but in reality 70 and humid is nothing. I live in dc and from April to October it's 80-90+ with 95-100 percent humidity every single day. Not the best running weather and u sweat alot but people still can throw down good race times without weather as an excuse. Not taking anything away from Hasay I was very impressed. On the men's side is was just a bad race forget a little bit of humidity.
No doubt Hasay would have run faster in better weather, I was spectating and it was very humid. I'm surprised no reporter asked her about her shoes. They were huge, really big heels. Could this be the spring shoe we've heard rumored?
How many of those times are on certified courses? I know Gouchers 66:57 is on a net downhill, and Kastor has the AR.

Apparently, many people give a $hit about the half-marathon, as evidenced by these boards.
Great race for Hasay - and hope she has a great run at Boston.
Or these boards seem to weigh in heavily on anything connected to the NOP....
Someone mentioned earlier that Des Linden would kill for a faster half marathon time and I think she's more than satisfied with 2 Olympic teams and a runner-up Boston finish but in comparing their PBs the USA T&F website had the following
Linden
5m 15:08
10m 31:37
Half 1:10:34
Marathon 2:22:38
Hasay
5m 15:37
10m 31:38
Half 1:08:40
Also the US all-time lists for the half (although not sure how accurate as they didn't have Flanagan's 67:52...)
Goucher 66:57
Kastor 67:34
Huddle 67:41
Flanagan 67:52
Kastor 67:53
Goucher 68:05
Samuelson 68:23
Goucher 68:30
Flanagan 68:31
Huddle 68:31
Samuelson 68:34
Flanagan 68:36
Although again with the half not getting the recognition it makes one wonder how many times an athlete is actually training specifically for that distance and that race as I'd guess hardly ever. Linden isn't even close but her marathon best beats Goucher by over 2 minutes (Goucher's = 2:24:52)

There are no tough conditions when you are on a keyboard in your mom's basement.

So you're saying that the dew point is typically 75-90 degrees in DC for half the year? Humidity isn't measured in percentage, and relative humidity is only useful in context with the dry bulb temperature.
I don't have the exact race conditions, but a mid 60s dew point, with nearly saturated air, is not ideal conditions for humans to dissipate heat. Those conditions will slow down every single runner in the race.
Man with a time like that if she can sting two of those together she can be just over half a mile behind Paula's WR
Based on the interview, it looks like Hasay is going for a 2:24 at Boston.
(5:30 pace)
Ummn....
Good time

Exactly. I am still waiting for the list of all men's and women's world records in the marathon and half-marathon that were set when the temperature was above 70 degrees F. The answer might be: 0.00
However, we still have a wee problem with your post:
Unfortunately, your LetsRunMath.com says >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
13.1 x 4 = 57
In conclusion:
1) The situation at LetsRun.com is still an absolute hopeless debacle in 2017.
2) O'Boy (Irish)!!!

. I highly doubt the bulk of runners doing races in 80-90 degrees with 95%-100% are actually putting down times to their true potential.
i remember when i broke 1:09 for the first time and was like 45th place or something and went back to work at my desk job a couple days later
great race, not taking anything away from her. but mens athletics is so offing different

What a half, Hasay! Would love to see her run the times of her dreams. Consistent insane work over all these years. Like they say, "Keep getting up and moving forward", geez the girl must love distance.
