That's a reach. After penciling-in Cragg and Huddle for 2 of the top 3 spots at the finish, Hall, Bruce, Johnson, Linden, Hasay would all have to either DNS/DNF or just crap the bed for Keiffer to have a shot at a top 3 finish. 5th-8th is what could realistically be expected on a good day.

What has Huddle done in the marathon to be considered a shoe in? Based on PRs, Kieffer is closer to Huddle, than Huddle is to Taylor (Johnson). If Cragg can be considered a shoe in then Hasay (PR 6 min faster than Huddle) should be too.

He said penciling-in, not shoe in. That’s a big difference. And as far as the hyphen is concerned, I’m not sure if one of you, neither of you, or both of you are correct in your useage/non-usage (or is it nonuseage?).

The hyphen was suggested by autocomplete.

Also, the trials race is a qualifier, not a time trial or PR contest. Weather will factor, yet as likely as not it will play out as a tactical affair. Not unlike NYCM '18. There are probably 3-7 more experienced/accomplished women at that level who, provided they make the start ready to go, could surge the starch right out of less experienced competitors for any and all of the 3 team spots.

Phoenix you say, perfect weather you say

Those two have a joint YouTube channel now? This just gets weirder and weirder.

"Weirder and weirder"? How so? He's a guy, she's a girl. In this day and age, about the most un-weirdest thing you can do is stay the same sex you were born (which they've both done), be attracted to a member of the opposite sex (check), and then hook up if initial feelings of attraction persist. The only thing weird about their relationship is your (and some other feckless posters on here) reaction to it.......

They seem to be orchestrating drama for LRC. "Are you not entertained!!"

Agreed, this is an elaborate troll job by them.

In it, they mention relocating to Arizona. Seems like a good move training wise re altitude fluctuations. I wonder if this means Brad’s training group is done?

Brad Hudson is risking absolutely nothing. He can move back to Boulder in 5 years and start over with another group of pretenders that hang out in Boulder thinking that the city will make them great. People that aren't good enough to get paid have moved to Boulder for 30 years living off of Mommy and Daddy and searching for that special coach.

Oh without a doubt. "Carbs + protein" in a single meal is their "edge"?? There's no way neither of them knew about performance diet, especially with her background in the crossfit cult.

That shuffle of a stride looks super-efficient, an aid in the marathon.

Love these two..woof.

As someone with a sharp eye for running talent I just don't see a US Olympian in her. Body type and biomechanics too far off. She does seem mentally tough which helps a lot but there are others just as tough if not tougher with greater physical gifts (Shalane and Molly are two who immediately come to mind, both of them incredibly mentally tough). Respect for anyone who goes "all in" and will be happy for her if she proves me wrong. She may have a shot at the third spot on the team. She definitely gets better as the distance increases.

She has that low knee lift and minimal arm swing you see with Japanese woman runners . I can see it working at the marathon distance but not at track distances .

Watching the video, it's amazing that she's gotten so far being clueless about nutrition. If she gets down nutrition, there is going to be lot of gains. Also training in a warm environment will prepare her for Atlanta.

FWIW Allie did attend Arizona State and knows how to run in the heat of AZ from experience.

I saw this with gwen it’s going to end ugly

You have to say 8 women have a legitimate shot to make the Olympics : 1. Hasay 2. Flanagan 3. Linden 4. Craigg 5. Huddle 6. K. Taylor 7. Hall 8. Allie . Big question is whether time has caught up with Flanagan and Des and if Hasay and Craigg can shake injuries . The Olympic team will come from these 8. You heard it from the hounddog ? ?

So Huddle is really the favorite? I agree. Also pencil in Emily Sisson. She is a Dark Shark in this.

The cashier in the second post/video is not amused by their little grocery store recording sesh lol.

I see they run in Papago Park a lot and around Tempe. I'll keep an eye out for them holding hands and sharing an ice cream cone. It's a small city.

I was trying to figure out where they were running—I thought maybe somewhere in Scottsdale.
