Although she never got a win in a big marathon, she will always be remembered as a great distance runner. I hope her the best in whatever taking her running in a new direction means.

if she's what you consider great, then Shalane, Amy and Jordan are outstanding!!!! Kara is not in their league, not even close.
FWIW - Kara accomplished more in her career than Jordan has, though Jordan still has the chance to turn the tables on that.
FWIW>No sh*t sherlock! Jordan has just begun and she's ran 5 minutes faster than Kara Goucher!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jordan is 27, Kara Goucher is 40! Dear God, where do you people get your logic from? Kara Goucher is NOT anywhere near the talent of Hastings, Flanagan or Hasay!
Goucher has accomplished what? Weak fields?
The poster I was replying to said that Kara is not in Jordan's league. That is patently false. Kara has a better career resume than Jordan, and it doesn't take much research for an average person to realize that. Hasay has only made one senior US team and she finished 12th.
Mr. Steak. You are an idiot. Kara's career was not great, far from it.
Jordan has crushed her best marathon time by minutes, her first time out. Jordan will destroy the few things that Kara did in her "career". Stay on the side lines, it suits you best.
Two world medals vs a 12th place finish. It’s not even close. Even a casual fan would realize this easily. How can the latter be great if the former is not? -

Goucher
Weak medal in 2007 (see posts that explain why). One legitimate sub 2:26 marathon.
Hasay
Her time of 01:08:40 was a course record for an American female and the second fastest half marathon debut by an American female.
On April 1, Hasay ran the Prague Half Marathon in a time of 1:07:55. She became just the third American woman to run a half marathon in under 68 minutes after Molly Huddle and Deena Kastor (I don't see Goucher's name here).
On April 17, Hasay finished third in the Boston Marathon. Her time of 2:23:00. Hasay's finish time was the fastest debut marathon by a U.S. woman by almost three minutes.
On October 8, Hasay placed third in the Chicago Marathon with a finish time of *****2:20:57******.
Her race in Chicago also gave her a US 25k women's record, 1:22:19, surpassing Shalane Flanagan's time of 1:22:36 at the 2014 Berlin Marathon.
Hasay has just started to "really" be an elite racer and she has surpassed Goucher by leaps and bounds.

But Kara still has the fastest debut marathon by a U.S. woman on a record eligible course.
And the NYC American course record. -
Hasay is faster but Goucher has a medal. Hasay will have more hardware when she is 40. If you run 4:15 all year and your teammate runs 4:20 but then you are ill at state and run 4:25 to your state champ teammate in 4:20, is he better than you?

Only a layman would laugh. She had a weak field and took 9th the next year, setting a PR in the process. She got beat by several women who weren't in Osaka.
It's quite obvious that you're a hobby jogger who doesn't know how to look deep. You probably believe that Sellers would have been 2nd in Boston last year if the conditions were ideal.
You're incapable of logic or critical thinking. Good luck breaking 25 for the 5k this weekend and I'm sure you'll place in your old man age group. -

Ad hominem attacks are the default for those without an argument. 8th in the Olympics (you were wrong when you said 9th - do you support doper Abeylegesse?) is also better than not ever qualifying for the Olympics, and better than Jordan placed at the TRIALS. The time she ran in that race more than half a lap ahead of Hasay's best.
These are objective facts. -

It must've been pretty bad. I was on the same United flight with her Sunday evening, she needed a wheelchair to and from the plane.
Incidentally, Adam had his MacBook open in the terminal and was cursing and pointing as he showed Kara something on the screen. It was impossible to ignore.
When I got up to refill my water bottle, I walked behind his seat and glanced at what he was doing. Sure enough, he had LRMB on his browser. -

Hasay is better, period. Her 2nd marathon was almost 5 minutes faster than Kara's pr. Her half marathon is also faster and she's only 27.
Goucher got a free ride with that medal in Osaka. She wasn't 2nd fastest in the world, hardly.
Hasay is in a whole different class and Goucher knows it.
The other accomplishments that Goucher achieved were minuscule compared to Jordan Hasay.
Hasay IS the better runner, period. -

Agree, look at the results. Goucher had weak fields when she got those medals, very weak.
