Really alot posters on here just jump on threads and sprew thoughts without really rationalizing and true thinking

Gwen stated she is mad she isnt in 2:19 shape and posters saying she'll be lucky to run 2:30-2:35.

1. The lady ran 2:41 off triathlete training years ago

2. Had a baby deciding to become fulltime runner and 6 months after baby runs 15:15 in first track race since 2009 (this one indoors)

3. Joined one of the best marathon training groups in the U.S. with Shalane Flanagan and Amy Cragg.

4. Coached by knowledgeable Jerry, so if he didnt think she could run 2:19 EVENTUALLY she wouldnt be saying it now.

5. Even if she only runs 2:29 she still only been a fulltime runner ONE YEAR! More actual long distance/marathon training and look for her to take significant chunks of her pbs from 3000m to marathon.

Keep doubting her and I guarantee she runs sub 15 for 5000m in 2019 and thats just the start!!!

re: VIPAM

After only ONE year fulltime runner

Great run 2:25-2:27 would be exceptional

She have a bad day 2:30-2:32 still would be acceptable. NEXT year no excuses if healthy and no injuries:

5000m 14:50-14:55

10000m 30;58-31:15

If she wants any chance at her 2020 goal

I know of a 15:29/31:39 woman that thinks she can run 2:20. Is she delusional?

re: local ringer

I know of a woman who never ran sub 30 min 10000m but she is over 1 minute faster then every woman in the marathon and have been for years. Some woman who run 29:32 and sub 29:45 cant touch her mark so far.

10000m is a good indicator of marathon potential but by no means limit an athlete from far surpassing an equivalent in the marathon.

Remember Gwen wasnt a fulltime runner until a year ago (thats a novice) and she already an elite at 5000m/10000m, plus she will benefit from trainijg with Shalane and Amy bigtime.

re: VIPAM

I support Gwen and I am all for her success, but did you really have to start another thread?

I also know of a 15:21/31:48/68:55 woman that thinks she can run 2:19. Is she delusional?

re: yteey

Yes because I feel regardless of how she does Sunday, with more training as a fulltime runner in 2019-2020 shes going to silence those who doubt her on this board.

This thread was created for that one purpose.
