It’s been a strange 2020. Opened with a 2.10 marathon PB and closed with a 62 half PB! Not bad for a teacher from Belfast (via @BChampCollege ). I have been really grateful in the last 10 months that we can go run explore. Lace up and join us...

58 minute half marathon, serving a two year ban, tested in line with policy - tests positive again? It’s surreal now! There is no deterrent for these guys.

@j_ashworth656 The trickle down effect of doping is understated. Shoe contracts, race start lines, qualifying times etc. She should be charged with fraud by misrepresentation. It’s hard to believe any athletics performance now!

@lewmoses9@Scienceofsport 2.14.18 in Chicago 2023 & 2.15.37 in Chicago last year. It’s not only huge progress against the WR, it’s huge progress against her ‘best self’. I might be wrong but has tech advanced that much in a Year? (Or two).
Another Kenyan popped:
Emmaculate Anyango.
Road race and cross country expert (ranked #4 in world).
Coached by Ken Rotich.
Interviewed in March, she explained “I believe talent is universal. It’s not about where you come from. What matters is how you exploit your chances."
Looks like we now know what she meant by "exploit your chances".

No, really...
