Was it the training? The Nike Moonshot resources? Let's talk.
Are the 10 - 15 sec HS notations - hill sprints?
Probably - she trained with hudson. That's what he's about.
All the attention goes to Shalane, but AK’s race was the quiet performance of the day that people who truly understand running should be talking about. This caps an incredible comeback year for AK. She deserves major props and hopefully gets a nice sponsorship if she doesn’t have one already. Go Allie!!!
Awesome race by Allie.
I have questions about this Project Moonshot. Seems like a thing that would have been hot on letsrun if they'd marketed it more adroitly.
Which other athletes were involved?
2 massages per week! Food delivered to your home and 100 mpw with talent will do it.
She ran 32:09 on the track (basically alone last few miles)this spring coaching herself, putting her #12 between Erin Finn and Kellyn Taylor, so the talent was there.
Fantastic run on a tough course. Worth at least 2:27 on a fast course and it was her road marathon debut.
Great run for her but not a debut, not that it matters, just making sure facts are posted.
The story of the Day was Allie Kieffer.

I thought the story of the day on here -- as it is every day -- was Galen Rupp. And Jordan Hasay. And Salazar. And Mo Farah. And Kara Goucher.
There really are not any stories here that are not somehow connected to them.
Great story. A must read.

Great story. I'm a fan!
Too bad it s not the year before the Olympics. She d have trials qualifier.
Any WNY native runner will tell you, it has to be those runs at the ridge ;) those will make you aerobically fit lol

She deserved today's breakthrough.
Good stuff, sweetie!
I don't understand why the fifth place overall is the story of the day and not the overall winner? Can someone explain to me why this is the performance that mattered today?
Shalane and the other top 4 finishers are seasoned pros. This is a scraggly do-it-yourself, unsigned, American kid who is on a very steep upward trajectory with a lot of (hypothetical) untapped potential.
