“I’m ready to take a little step forward, be a little better than I’ve ever been before.” I love that quote.

confused at first that the title was obviously changed after boston win for video posted before olympics but amazing to see how she can run 2 laps down to the second like that over and over. i was never more than a recreational level runner, but in my best days i could only run a mile or so at that pace before running out of gas. running a marathon at only about 10 seconds faster seems like another species to me. the mens record standing below 2:03 for a while now is like fiction.

I love how they change the name of this video after she won. That's cute.

What a best. Running a SINGLE 800m in ~2:30 in itself isn't too shabby. Strining 10 like that....

What are the 76 & 77s he says before listing the split time?

My favorite woman distance runner. She's like a little female Pre. Tough.

So horses runs even??? No they do not. Pacing means a lot of things. A good start and relax into your run and have a finish. Ask me.

Lol she did not have elite competition that's why she placed first
