Since it's race week now's a good time to get this discussion kicked off! I'm going to go with 2:28:20 as long as she doesn't Stinson it. She seems to be in better shape last year when she ran the 2:29 and her workouts seem to be pretty solid lately. I think her 71 min half is a good indicator that she's capable of 2:28 on this course.
Looks like good racing weather unless the wind is too strong. 2:27:54
she has too many fans now
dnf
2:30+ or dnf. Either way, she can play the victim and increase her marketability.
2:30:54
2:27:58
I want her to succeed so I want to say that she runs 2:26. Considering that I am probably biased I say that she will PR but not by much. IDK it's hard not to be biased. But in the end aren't we all biased towards a certain outcome? So maybe I should just stick with my bias and let other peoples bias even it out? Yikes! Why is it so hard to predict how fast someone will run? I think it might be because Allie is probably going to read this thread and I know that she said that negative comments don't bring her down I imagine that they still affect her. In conclusion, she will run under 2:20 and shock the world.
I doubt she’ll Stinson it. I also doubt she will break 2:32.
She already did. She ran 2:29 at NYC last year.
2:26, ends up 3rd, the highest placed US woman!!!
Top American woman and 2:30:01
2:27-high if the conditions are good and she runs a good race.
2:30-2:32 if bad-race or bad-conditions.
Will NOT break 2:30, zero chance. Too big for her britches. Better to remain silent and let your feet do the talking. 5:43 pace will suddenly become a struggle, cramps will set in, the leaves will hamper her view of the course, stops at Dunkin Donuts for a dozen Apple Fritters, yes, it all may happen:):):):):):):):):):):):)but she's not breaking 2:30.

OP here to pat myself on the back!!
But with a negative split of 1:16:34/1:11:38...she was capable of better on that course.

Lol, I've never read a post more incorrect than this one.

Not the OP here, to give him another pat on the back. He had it dialed in.
Just out of curiosity, did you make any other predictions? How'd they pan out?
Thank you, to be completely honest it’s the only time prediction I made. However I will admit that I underestimated Molly and was right on with how Deis and Shalane would do place wise.
I wish the US men were more exciting but outside of Rupp who is now sidelined it just feels like our guys aren’t as competitive. Really hope that changes on the near future.
