I think that's more accurately that's she been racing marathons for that relatively short time. I'm more amazed that she's the only woman in the sub 2 - JD Sep 24, 07:34

If you gave me 18 months, I could probably run a marathon -- nm - Reagen Sep 24, 07:19 2
- If you gave me 18 months I would totally get off the couch and around the block, says little Tobias sarcastically -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 24, 11:18
- I might be able to...and I damn sure would eclipse her time. - Will Hunting Sep 24, 07:21
Advanced training and shoe tech have upped the game -- nm - budice Sep 24, 07:16 3
- It doesn't hurt that she was already an Olympic level runner in other disciplines. -- nm - Krusty Sep 24, 07:26 2
  - I'm not sure it directly helped though either. Though heaven help the poor competitor who manages to be with her with 800 meters to go -- nm - JD Sep 24, 07:41 1
    - I think it's helped greatly that she was already in great shape as a sprinter. She didn't get off her couch 18 months ago and start running - Krusty Sep 24, 07:45
