This is why Shalane is the best.

Who was brought in that could challenge Shalane??

This is all s***. Her best yrs were with Cook, training alone.

Did you just get around to reading the articles that state exactly this months ago and pass this off as your own knowledge?

Emily Infeld has beat her in the 10,000

Amy Cragg has beat her in the marathon.

Oh please. Neither of those athletes are better than Shalane.

Shalane was already a marathoner when Infeld beat her in the 10k, and she had heat exhaustion issues when Cragg beat her. She beat her pretty good at Rio.

If Schumacher wanted to bring in Molly Huddle, Shalane would throw a fit. Even a person like Jordan Hasay who is a popular runner and may become a better marathoner would probably upset Shalane.

Emily Infeld and Amy Cragg? Shes not going to get upset that a couple of decent workout pacers are joining her. Neither is a true threat.

Not that Shalane isn’t great, but there were several leaps in judgement made by the OP.

Centro and Rowbury “bitter”?

Shalane “universally loved” and the “most respected runner in America”?

Why not let Shalane do what works for her, while others do what works for them? Centro and Rowbury have each had more than enough success to justify sticking to whatever plan best suits them.

Totally agree. Shalane is an amazing athlete, and has been an amazing teammate.

Beyond that, does the OP really have any information to infer upon the motives for Centro and Rowbury's decisions to relocate to their own hometowns? Can you show me any professional sporting organization that doesn't experience annual roster changes?

Shalane’s 2:21:14 < Jordan’s 20:20:57

That’s pretty black and white.

Also, Jordan is 26 and has at least 6-8 good years left.

Shalane is 36. Her career is done.

Time will only tell however as they(if everything goes right) will race in Boston.

I know that Rowbury was not for Hassan coming to the group. I also know that Centro was not happy about the additions to the group.

You know nothing. You just pretend to know because it makes you feel important.

sorry but her nyc marathon was very slow by elite women's standards. hasay is almost 7 minutes faster. shalene would have lost the marathon by at least 8 minutes if keitany wasn't having a period. the marathon time nyc was not in the top 1200 of all time. not so great when you look at it like that.

but the absolutely damming thing is her and meb's attitude when other americans were better. they are just bad sports and cry babies. they should be cheering times of americans if they are no proven drug users. about every 3 months usatf officials put out another line of unproven bullshit to show they are worth their salaries. they find other coaches and athletes to sow doubt with no data. the innuendo is destroying our sport. put up or shut up.

But Mary Keitany on her best year will not be as marketable as Shalane. This means more dollars FOREVER.

Shalane is a poster child. Keitany is just another Kenyan.

Club running has added to her popularity.

B.S. She train alone with Cook, in fact she left that arrogant A-hole because of how rude he was to her teammate and friend, Erin Donahue. That takes cojones!

Jordan gonna whoop Shalane in Boston.

Yeah, Jordan would've had a real easy time closing a marathon at Her 5k pace, which is what it would've taken to beat Shalane.

My impression is petty. B**ch. she claimed she was “friends” with Kara but when Kara left nike Shalane pretty much ignored her. I realize the “friendship” was mostly marketing but she still made a big show

When Jordan beat Shalane’s best time she proceeded to trash her instead of offering congrats

Now she has this fake friendship with Hastings

I think Shalane likes to play up how friendly and supportive she is but it has limits.

Plus she looks hard.

10/10

plus the op is just trolling

This thread is a perfect representative of this board.

The OP says only positive non controversial things about an athlete who had a great year.

The op is called a troll and several people need to criticize both the op and Shalane.

Why?

Just let something positive sit by itself. Or share your own positives about Shalane's wonderful year.

Letsrun should be ashamed. Although I'm not sure these people are capable.
