It is obvious that NONE of the Bowerman TC women were in any kind of competitive shape today on Feb. 3, 2018.

For example, here is what happened today Feb. 3, 2018:

1) Shelby Houlihan (Irish) ran a 3000m race in 8:36, which is the equivalent of 14:55 for 5000m.

2) Marielle Hall ran the 3000m in 8:40, which is the equivalent of 15:01 for 5000m

3) Kate Grace was 2nd in the Millrose mile.

4) Colleen the Quickly Quiqley (Irish) won the Millrose mile.

5) Emily Infeld won the U.S. Cross Country Country Championship

It is obvious that today was another complete disaster for the Bowerman TC women.

8:36 = 14:48

7 seconds difference = 0.56 seconds per lap difference. Interesting.

John Kellog's math whiz tables say that is the equivalent of a 14:27.785948875

He is the math genius who said that Eliud Kipchoge was going to blow up and not run anywhere near 2:00:25 in the Nike Sub-2 marathon.

Do you remember that idiot???

What a joke.

Let's hear about all of the famous runners he has coached.

Why did you write "Irish" after Houlihan and Quigley? Neither of them went to Notre Dame. Please tell me you don't think they are from Ireland?

BTW, Houlihan has on outdoor best of 8:37.40, so this is not unexpected entirely.

Do you remember this prediction from Mr. Kellogg:

With all due respect to Ross Tucker and Steve Magness, who have given their thoughts on Eliud Kipchoge‘s sub-2 attempt this weekend, we started LetsRun.com to spread the gospel of our old running mentor John Kellogg. So I decided to reach out to Mr. Kellogg, LetsRun.com’s coaching/stats guru, for his thoughts on the sub-2 attempt.

“[And if he sticks to sub-2 pace past halfway], I think he might bonk and not break the world record. I mean how many big positive split world records do you see?” said Kellogg before noting that it does happen as Mary Keitany did it on the women’s side in London for the women’s-only world record. In London, Keitany ran her second half 3:07 slower than her first half.

We then asked Mr. Kellogg for how long he thought Kipchoge could keep up 1:59:59 pace if he just keeps running that pace until he drops.

“I think if he sticks with the 1:59:59 pace for as long as he possibly can, I think he’ll make it BETWEEN 19.75 and 20.00 miles (Very precise prediction by Mr. Math Whiz = Ha Ha Ha) said Mr. Kellogg, who has a masters degree in mathematics, explaining that he came up with that estimate simply by comparing the pace Kipchoge is trying to run (4:34.57 mile pace) with the pace for half marathon world record (4:27.21) and marathon world record (4:41.36).

"There is a 14.15-second gap (per mile) between the marathon and half marathon world records and Kipchoge is trying to run at a pace that is 52.0% of that difference – and 52% between 13.1 miles and 26.2 miles is 19.91 miles.

“A marathon is not a 20-miler. A lot of people can run hard for 20 miles but you’ve got to pace it properly if you are going to run a good time for all 26.2.

"There could be a really BIG BONK if they force him to stick to that pace.” (Wrong again math whiz!!!)

PS. For the last few years, Mr. Kellogg, who guided LetsRun.com co-founder Weldon Johnson from 30:13 in college to 28:06 post-collegiately, has focused much of his efforts to becoming a cyclist, but he wants it to be known he’s come out of retirement and is coaching runners once again.

He has room to coach three more serious athletes.

Quigley and Grace ran an even-paced raced against underwhelming competition. Their closest competitors were each other. Houlihan and Hall had even less competition -- third place was 43 seconds behind, a huge margin for a 3k. It was basically Bowerman racing Bowerman at both meets. The pros were testing their fitness against each other. The "competition" was nonexistent.

If they were trying for a World Indoor standard, Houlihan and Hall made it. Grace and Quigley did not.

Um, I was at the BU meet, there was an Ethiopian out front of Houlihan the entire race, Houlihan only led a lap. And, Sarah Brown paced them through 2K.

2nd fastest American indoor 3k ever. Shalane 1st in 8:33

Best Performance of the weekend and still under the radar. She could be a 14:20s-14:30 performer this year.
