For those who don't want to click, this is the question:

How many miles per week are you currently running? How long is your longest run?

I've gone 25 miles a few times now with a one mile cool down. So technically I've gone a marathon! I've done quite a few 20 milers as well. I'm at about 100 miles.

Wow!

She didn't say she ran 100 this week. It sounds like that was her average.

Hasay is seriously fit. Expect great things at Boston.

Damn. I was hoping she was training to win (125-130 mpw) rather than just to run a good HM (100 mpw). Oh well, at least she will have a good learning experience.

Big, if true.

They asked how much she is currently running.

Right, which also means she ran 25 miles +1 mile cool-down today.

Common sense is hard to come by around here.

Uh, they asked how long her longest run is. She replied to that. That's a completely different reply than to the question "how much are you CURRENTLY running."

Sounds like you're jealous...

She looks completely emaciated. That's a lot of Cytomel she's been taking.

Of course she is, what do you expect?

The look is concentration camp chic.

What else does she have to do?

Bill Rodgers did about twice that before Boston in '75 and he was probably teaching too. Or taking bodies to the morgue.

When her coach gets charged with doping athletes right before Boston will it even matter what she runs?

Exactly

Are you talking about before this year's Boston, or last year's, or the year before that, etc.? Because you and your ilk keep predicting the same thing over and over but it doesn't seem to be happening.

We just got back from Uganda and have recovered enough to preview the race for you here:

She doesn't even know that a marathon is 26.2? Desi FTW.

Wow!

Well when you have a dope pusher for a coach what do you expect?

I have never understood the insanity of that many miles a few weeks before the race. The preparations have been done and excessive running is more likely to cause fatigue or injury (god she's had enough injuries) than improvement.

How about cut back to 25 miles and let the body recover and be fresh for the race.

Oh well what do I know?

Why Prague for these 2?
