41 year old female = 2:22:13
Was that 2:08 run by a Mexican training at 7,000 to 10,000 feet without daily drug testing?
No, the 2:08 was run by a Kenyan multiple times.

MILANO (ITA, Apr 3): Kenneth Mungara finished third in the Milano Marathon in 2:08:38 to break the world over-40 record for the third time in twelve months. The 42-year-old won this race last year in 2:08:44 and improved to 2:08:42 last July in the Gold Coast Marathon. "

So she trains harder than Zatopek did? (And if he was doping it makes her performance all the more ludicrous).
Ah a strawman appears. Highschool boys are running faster than Zatopek did without half the hard training he did and This womanis far from a sub-14 and 29 10k runner by the way. Those old foggies from the 50's didn't know how to train for the marathon. There's a reason his training regiment went out with the dinosaurs but you won't listen to that because you're too stupid and have an agenda.
You have no idea what Zatopek and other top runners did in the 50's, since you were likely born a decade ago. That schoolboys (Norwegians? Kenyans?) are now running so much faster than the best male runners of the fifties and early sixties only speaks of the sheer pervasiveness of doping in the present era. That you think there wasn't a "pre-doping era" - i.e. when the practise wasn't prevalent - speaks of two things: 1) that earlier generations had no talent, because they could run no faster than a middle-aged woman in 2018, and 2) that doping is so endemic today that no performance can be trusted to be clean - especially by a middle-aged woman chasing the times of elite males of the recent past. Well, the latter point is certainly correct, even though you don't mean to admit that.
Anybody know of her life history/athletic background? How was she not eyed for running at a younger age? She has a runner's build. It seems far fetched a woman with two kids could take up running in her 30's and develop to run this fast without some sort of athletic background. Then again, there's stories like Steve Way, so maybe it is possible.

Used to play a lot of basketball and soccer when young. Wanted to get fit again after her first son was born at 33 so started running the Corporate Cup at the tan in Melbourne. Then joined a running club. Times for the tan went from 15:30 to just over 13 minutes with structured training. Obviously a lot of talent for running and legs with not a lot of mileage on them for her age.

i dont know if sinead dopes or not,but assuming shes clean,shes a world class athlete at age 41,which is remarkable.if all the dopers actually got caught,and banned,she would find herself being very competitive indeed on the world stage.

2.25 at 41, after taking the sport up at 33. She would have been capable of sub-2.20 at a peak age of late-20's/early-30's if she had taken the sport from a younger age.
the aussies know their drugs across many sports,and they rarely get caught.Theyre not as good as the east africans in distance running,but theyre up there with the best europeans and Americans.
