Elle Purrier smashes US record on the 2 mile 3rd fastest in history

[PEB]

I am a fan of distance running and Elle is unlike anyone the US has seen in decades this girl who trains in Vermont continues to demolish the US best including Emma "No limits 'I call her lol'" Coburn who won the bronze 3,000 in China and gold at the worlds. She makes it looks so effortless and her coach has a somewhat different style at training his runners focusing on weight training more and more speed work. She's farmer girl who works on the farm.

The girl she beat has been schooling the world in the 3000m Steeplechase.

Back in 2014 was when she first shocked the Africans who didn't take her seriously. She humiliated them. It was like watching Secretariat teabag the competition:



Again in 2017 at the IAAF:



Getting older. She was unseated in 2019. So we have a hell of showdown looming, I suspect:

3. 400 Metres
   
4. 800 Metres
   
5. 1500 Metres
   
6. 5000 Metres
   
7. 10,000 Metres
   
8. Marathon
   
9. 3000 Metres Steeplechase
   
10. 100 Metres Hurdles (women only)
    
11. 110 Metres Hurdles (men only)
    
12. 400 Metres Hurdles
    
13. Decathlon (men only)
    
14. Heptathlon (women only)
    
15. High Jump
    
16. Pole Vault
    
17. Long Jump
    
18. Triple Jump
    
19. Shot Put
    
20. Discus Throw
    
21. Hammer Throw
    
22. Javelin Throw

Emma the perfect middle distance runner she never seems to labor through her race arms always perfectly placed not showing signs of fatigue and has nearly a perfect running gate. Unlike someone like Joan Benoit Samuelson who I actually got to train with she seems to work harder to push the pace but breaks world records anyways. The persons I most compare her too is Greta Weiss or Mary Slaney both have a nearly perfect runners gate and seem to float over the road though Greta mostly a marathoner. My training partner took pride in the fact he ran the 5k training run faster then Joan lol. But he set a college record of 14:06 on 5K at Joan B. college.

It isn't as big of a deal as OP is making out. If the top runners ran the 2 mile distance, Purrier would be irrelevant.

She smoke checked a Former World Champ in the 3000m steeplechase. 2 Miles is a good litmus test for that because it's slightly longer than 3000m minus the hurdle and water . You sound stupid.

And yet the girl she smoked has been destroying the world's best fields in the 3000m Steeplechase (a 1.86mi distance).

Nobody gives a shit what the state-run doped-to-the-gills Chinese women are doing.
