Paula is faster than everyone on these boards. That’s a fun fact.

Is faster or was faster?
And what does personal speed have to do with your coaching abilities?
If I own the fastest car you'll ever see - does that make my opinion on cars better than yours?
Strange she says in her caption " I’ve now run 3 marathons with the results being 3 podiums". It's like Chicago 2019 never happened...
Paulas always been a beacon of hope and integrity in our sport. Go get em’!

If she's worried about her image on Letsrun it's clearly a bad move.
Losers care about being popular. Winners care about winning.

Technically she didn't run a marathon that day...
Great, so Hasay is going from one of the sport's dirtiest coaches to one of that coach's biggest apologists.
Seriously, did you read the article? No, you didn’t! It’s a RW article written at 2-3 grade level, 1-2 min read and clearly states Paula will be coaching/advising Hasay and that her husband coaches Mo.

Why does she insist on training in Arroyo Grande?
Why wouldn’t she?
She tells you in the article exactly why.
Paula was cleared of any wrongdoing so she's in the clear to me.
serious question: Did the reporter ever counteract that?
Journalism is a crappy career: You make lousy wages and get threatened all the time.
Based on her own remarks and the many photo-ops, Hasay admires and has been influenced by both Paula Radcliffe and Joan Benoit. I'm wondering whether she asked Benoit to advise her, and if she didn't, why not? If Hasay preferred Radcliffe, I'm guessing it would have had to do with conversations the two of them had about training. Perhaps LetsRun can ask further about her choice.
the best coaches are the coaches that have coached many different types of runners for many types of years and produced many top level athletes. paula radcliffe may have been a top distance runner in the past, but that doesn't make her a top coach. think about it, who would you rather be your 800m coach, david rudisha or Colm O'Connell? the better choice would obviously be Colm O'Connell. going to paula radcliffe, a person with no prior success as a coach, is only going to give us critics more fuel to our fire against these NOP athletes.
You guys would attack NOP athletes even if they did everything your entitled asses demand they do. You'd just keep moving the goal post farther away.
It's what you do.
Oh boy. Frying pan into the fire.

what qualifications does Paula R have as an elite distance coach?

Yeah, who would think that people would be skeptical of athletes that willingly chose to be a part of a sketchy program run by a cheating coach.

The attacks might stop if the NOP project athletes stopped demonstrating how little they care about clean sport.
After her coaches failed appeal to a conviction and ban became public Jordan had a funny little story prepared about how she found out and had been debating with Alberto which workout she would do and ended up doing the one she wanted. Glad that you're able to maintain your sense of humor when the coach everyone knows is under investigation for years that you've stayed by throughout the process finally receives his ban.
Without digging too much into the Paula doping allegations. Out of all the available coaches you choose someone who many inside the sport consider highly suspect. There are good coaches out there without the allegations that surround Paula. From my point of view, Jordan's response to this situation has been a PR savy version of the Centro yawn of a few years back.
Are you guys going to stop buying Nike gear because of how the brand knew all along and keeps supporting Alberto? Are you going to get rid of your Cheaterflies?
Bunch of hypocrites. Hasay owes you nothing. She can train with whomever she chooses for coach. Whatever Paula did as an athlete has no bearing on Hasay.
