Sub 2:20 is possible in London for them, especially Sisson
Not based on a 30:49 it isn't.
Of course, with the magic Hasay-juice they could, but I'd say a good run would be 2:22-4.

Yawn. They should have run World XC instead of this snoozefest of a race

and with the big six ahead of them dragging them along, they could give it everything and more

Both of them were impressive, but Sisson in particular. She was absolutely hammering the last 5 or 6 laps, running her last 1600 meters in around 4:39.6 and dropping Molly Huddle. And she looked great on those laps. Controlled and powerful. Molly was hanging on as best she could. When you can power away from a fit Molly Huddle, you're in fantastic shape.
They went out in around 15:41 and considering they're deep into marathon training I thought it would be a great performance if they matched that the second half but Sisson almost ran faster than her 5,000 meter PB during the second half of the race.
I watched the race live on Flotrack and will watch the second half again today.
I was at the meet. They both looked great. Huddle has the better physique. I’m sure she purposely isn’t in great shape right now because of the longer schedule going into Worlds this year. It was a nice race. Huddle is a thoroughbred, Sisson is built like a small Clydesdale. Sisson is chunky but it is all muscle. I’m leaning towards Huddle as the one with more upside though she’s been at a high level for years and at 34 years old may finally be somewhat mentally tired. Interesting they have the same coach.
I'm going to ignore the times they run and base it all on body shape/type. LOL
Guess you’re one of those people who don’t believe in things like physics and science.

Most definitely.
They made a major mistake to not run it, but which is typical of many Americans.

Now that I am recovered and can think clearly, I admit that you are correct. I go to bed in tears every night now wondering why I would settle with being ranked all-time with Molly, Shalane and Deena, when I could instead be basking in the afterglow of a possible top-20 finish in Aarhus.

So Huddle purposely isn't in great shape - even though it was third sub-31 of her career - right now because Worlds are in October?
Are you aware she's running London this mont?

How do you think she will go in London? Any chance of finishing top six or around 2.21?

The point was Sisson is fast regardless of her body shape. So by judging the potential results on her body shape is stupid, because you already know she's fast. Bekele isn't exactly the leanest of guys - think huge quads.

It is crazy to see Sisson and Huddle lapping Monson at 22:00 and everyone else by 29:00. Special thanks as always to a brilliant NB sportswear designer somewere.
She has a nice butt!
It appears Emily's glutes were firing correctly!

Lets be real. Great run no doubt but would not have been top twenty at world cc.

#21 in World XC would still have been almost a minute faster than the best American woman (Bruce)...

Every year, she beats all expectations. Incredible runner. She is the future of US women's distance running.
so in another 3 years, where do you see her and Cragg in comparison?
