In just her second marathon race ( Boston does not count), she PRd by 2 mins, running 2:26 to finish fourth.
This is a woman who is still racing the track and doing shorter distance road races. I think after today, her focus on the marathon will be even greater.
She def has sub 2:20 ability, easily.
Keep in mind Sara Hall DNF'd in her marathon race. Cragg and Hasay were injured.
So a damn impressive time by Molly!

Her 2:26 would easily be 2:21 on a a flat course.

I think you’re overusing the word ‘easily’ here.
None of her races have shown either 2:21 or sub 2:20 ability as of yet (a time very few women have achieved.)
Fingers crossed she gets there, she’s a phenomenal talent and wonderful person.

What? She just got owned by a 37-year-old. And why doesn't Boston count? A race is a race, regardless of conditions.
Anyway, she isn't built for the marathon, way too big for that distance. I second the guy who said she should go back to the 10k for Tokyo.

Yes, Shalane is queen of the marathon in the US right now but too big for the marathon? Molly Huddle? What?

She can run the trials and make the team (a favorite to win). Then make the team in the 10,000m. If I were her, I'd run the 10,000 on the track (probably finishing 8th-10th) and then a fall marathon for maximal $$$. Who knows, if the top marathoners race the Olympics, she would be a strong contender to win NYC 2020.
