Interesting article! I’m so excited for the elite field at NYC this year. I also found Shalane’s perspective on Gwen interesting. That’s sort of exactly what I was saying when she announced the switch, but I appreciate the opinion of someone on the inside who is obviously well respected in the sport.

I'd bet dollars to donuts gwen jorgenson is over trained. She went from 30-40 miles a week to 120 in under a year lol. Add in that she got put with Shalane who is well known for eating up her training partners as well as her fever leading up to the race and her results make total sense. For someone who has never run a marathon before it was a pretty bold move to make a 2:19 time prediction, but now she has a baseline and knows what her reality is.
