She just announced on IG her 2019 is shot. She's canceled NYC Half, Around the Bay 30km, and London.
BUMmer . . . ass I was looking forward to her running some good times.
Maybe it's time to start running in the 4% shoes again instead of Asics?
I was following her progress and she really appeared to be approaching some strong times. Hope her recovery goes well.

Asics has joined the " who can make the most expensive shoe " race.
I agree - Go to CIM

And Allie...screw NYC!!! Go run a fast course where you can lock in and go for a sub 2:24. That’s my advice.
This announcement did not surprise me the least. She shaded some other athletes for "lying on the beach for two weeks" right after NYC marathon. And was bragging on and on how she scrapped her vacation and was hopping right back into hard training to gain an advantage over them.
Guess she learned the hard way that you get injured when you don't properly recover. Can't say I have sympathy. Jumping right back into 100mile weeks after a marathon is a recipe for disaster and she got it coming a long way.
She, literally, did the exact same thing last year after NYC. Took almost zero downtime and was in Kenya running herself into the ground. Gets a stress fracture and has to pull out of the London Marathon. Fast forward to 2018/2019 and she does the exact same thing (though she was extremely vague with what the injury is but it's obviously something pretty serious). Isn't there a saying about doing the same over again expecting different results? These two seem perfect for each other because they have no idea what they're doing.
Runners get injured.
Easily the most injury prone sport out there.
However it does seem as though Hudson's Canova 2.0 regimen can be too hard on his athletes.
I remember seeing a post from Allie saying how she couldn't hit her times and she was crying and Hudson pushed her to finish anyways. I've just never seen how that type of coaching works.
When Hudson abandoned all his athletes, my initial thought was "How is he not going to over train her now" one athlete, all the pressure to succeed, I don't see how any coach doesn't overtrain an athlete under those circumstances.

Its an obsessive compulsive behavior times two when you bring Brad into the picture.
Some success at NYC , Brad only one athlete to focus on, Allie a little compulsive already, nobody to tell her to back down and take a more relaxed approach to her training. Add in the relationship part and them being with each other 24/7, tick tock -boom!
Now her shot at the trials may be dimming slightly with this current recipe for doomed failure.
Still time to adjust but not much.

Obviously it's a different sport but Rigoberto Uran just crashed his bike at Paris-Nice and broke his collarbone. So maybe he won't be ready for the Tour as planned, and maybe he'll race the Vuelta in September instead.
What happened to her that is so bad it can't be solved by 10 weeks of rest and then a multi-month buildup to a late Fall marathon? Must be pretty bad.
.
Rigo will go get a pin put in his collarbone and be on a trainer next week. If Allie as AT or some other nagging soft tissue injury, she could need months to be injury free enough to actually train.
Why do stupid professional runners don't follow Maffetone/Lydiard approach ?
Train, don't strain. They are training crazy hard 24/7 all getting injured.
I'd hire Mark Cucuzzella or Phil if I was her
As someone who’s aerobically well developed and runs high mileage, Maffetone’s HR pace would have me running in the gray zone all the time. Not great for fit athletes and being able to recover- maybe Ok for lower mileage, less fit athletes.
The long, hard workouts they do are really unecessary. They may work well for the short term, but longterm it seems his athletes burn out and eventually move away. A more modest approach to workouts to be able to train at a more consistent and sustainable level would be better suited.
According to Runners World, attractive runners are more prone to getting injured.

This is gold ^^ Karma has never come back sooner to an athlete. Now with the new IAAF system, she may as well just call her 2020 over too. I can't stand her "look at me, I do it all correct, look at my self-funded team of resources" show.
putting aside why she is injured, we all should have sympathy for any injured runner
certainly we've all been there, it's a terrible mental torture, wouldn't wish it on anyone
instead, wishing her peace and recovery
This is all part of a grand strategy to pick up a silver behind Gwen's gold n Tokyo.
Won’t the medals there be fought out between the 6 from either Kenya or Ethiopia?

Good luck in your next Turkey Trot

He was being sarcastic mate
I feel bad for Allie as all of the good Marathon coaches are coaching groups and have an association with a shoe company. Maybe Ritz.
Pilkington seems to be improving Sarah Sellers. Maybe give him a shot.

That's a bit harsh. Why all the hate for AK on these boards?
