Duwalter is Queen of the trails.
Herron Queen of the track and road.
Both amazing ultra runners.
Dauwalter posted that the hip injury she suffered at Western States earlier this year flared back up at mile 75, and that she just tried to manage it as best as possible to score for the US.

It's weird that Morgan finished ahead of Dewaulter for the US but couldn't score because she was an "alternate". I hope Courtney didn't do any more damage having to finish like that.

I'm still confused by that - what exactly is an alternate anyways?

Camille is behind many posts in this thread
What is the deal with her Nike shoes and is nobody questioning her relation to Nike?
Was she secretly part of the Oregon project?
Was there a drug test after her run?
My understanding was that you name a team, 4 or 5 (Gina Slaby?), and alternates can register for the open race, simultaneous but ineligible in the championship points.
A nation can send up to six runners as their team. Six males and six females. The top three runners from the team score for the nation.The nation can also name up to three alternates, who are allowed to compete but cannot count towards the team scoring.

Then go do it. You'd get into the world championships. I guarantee you'd pick up a few sponsors you if you could put up that performance, who doesn't like free stuff? What are you waiting for?

150 was not enough this year. You needed 155 miles.
But Banana Bread would quit before he hits the 12 hour mark, anyway.

Yes.

She tried for a decade or so. Made the OQ twice I think.
So no would be the answer.
She has an awful running technique. I think she tried giving the excuse in some interviews, that it is because of a physical ailment. Imo, she is just not willing to put in the hard work to be creating good posture, forefoot strike, balanced arm carry and so on. In her case it would be a long long learning curve. I mean 3 or 4 years. Don't get me wrong, in case of the aerobic system and training, she is for sure a hard and consistent worker ! I am not saying that she is lazy at all ! However, as long as she runs like that she will be furtherly decreasing her chances of even being able to walk pain free, when she will be over 60.
What I am saying here, is that with her just brutally self damaging space-shuffle form, she is not able to compete against fast women on shorter distances. Half and full marathon !
I think in a couple of years she will be having serious issues on back, ankle, knees and hips, shoulders and neck and so on.
Also, I think the Vaporfly Next % what she is wearing is a god send to ther. Decreased impact, light motion control, most probably less chances of injury. At her pace, I wouldn't count on the performance benefits, talking about speed of course. She completed the run at a 5:19/km or 8:34/mi pace.
Epic effort and congrats to her ! World class !
Do people consider this as running?
Camille showed a mental toughness to run for 24 hours but it's such a tiny uncompetitive sport that it can't be given any credibility. She can't compete on anything other than 100 miles plus on the flat and running style will never allow her to run well at Western States etc. She is happy in her little niche and there is nothing wrong with that .
That's why she never succeeded as a marathon runner.
And that's why she is always injured. She was injured this year since Tarawera.
And soon she will be injured again. That's her story.
Some hilarious stuff in here. Making the Olympic trials twice is never succeeding?
Tough standards for success here?

Hi Camille,
yes standards are tough. A 2:37 marathon time is a great time but not even close to national fame.
I would recommend for your own sanity that you stay away from all forums and social media. Do your thing - we follow you - you get your fat pay check from Nike because of that following.

I wouldn't quit. I'm certainly sure I could hit 155 miles if you gave me clown shoes. I'm not bothered though anyway. Unless Bekele came to me and offered to wait for me at the finish line or something.
