Desi Linden At The Boston Marathon: Every Second Counts 

Occult 🐐

Robby Peters Except she only crossed the finish line first because the women were given a significant head start this year. They were allowed to run roughly 20% of the route before everyone else started. Her time was 2:39:54.The winner of the men's category ran it in 2:15:58. Meaning she lost to him by about 24 seconds... Out of about a 2:30 second or so average race... So she took about 17% longer to finish than him.

@@chrisr3120 Your comment is totally irrelevant to the point made by Mountaindog192. Pay attention and maybe you will not be so envious and judgmental. You need to get a real job. she is still the first US woman to win in 33 years which is a super accomplishment under any circumstances.

why train in Kenya?

Adam Keller I do not know what you’re insinuating. She is NOT a “heel striker”. Watch her stile.The watch Abibi’s running stile. (Ethiopia 1960 and 1964) The epitome of efficiency. Minimal body movement. The rolling stride she has perfected is her strength not her weakness.

Jonathan Bachman i was just observing that nearly all professional runners have the same form where their balls of their feet hit before the heel. It’s also the most efficient way to run.

@@lekanakumong3708 That's simply not true

tubesockets120v my guess is that it was a stress fracture from the high mileage. Crazy difficult to do but with her mileage I can definitely see it happening. If I fracture my femur from my 20-30 mile weeks, something is really wrong haha! To train for Boston she was running 80-90 miles a week!!!

Michaela Leach Yeah that makes sense.
