2 minutes knocked off the women’s world record in the Chicago Marathon today. Pundits seem a sub 2hr10 marathon of this nature by a woman to be literally unbelievable.

Not normal

Marginal gains.

Have you a point or are you just posting random Twitter links?

Sharlene has permanently moved over to the UK. She signalled as much at the end of last season so it should be a positive move for her. She seemed to be doing everything fairly solo so getting in with a group that contains European and Olympic medalists should be a huge help for her development

I also see Luke McCann has suffered a bad knee injury & will miss all of next season.

Yer wan Nielsen (Laivia?) is in that training group Sharlene joined.

Yep she is. I don’t know a lot about them to be honest but it all seems to be very positive.

McCann has been ridiculously unlucky with injuries. I didn’t realize that himself and Jodie McCann are brother and sister

Watching this at the moment. Its really well put together. A whole bunch of stuff about Mondo and the family I never knew

Cross country is a fickle mistress

The woke crew could do with being shown that video. Same happened Nick Griggs in European Championships a few years ago

Ciara Mageean back based in Belfast (presumably with a new coach/coaching group) & aiming for LA 2028.

She should be better now. She has moved back to Belfast and will get better personal support there I hope.
Sorry, missed your opening line. She had a perfect storm of bad things line up against her.
