    That's a fantastic story. I love this bit. You have to believe her too cos there's no bull in the whole story.

    “That’s what we were lacking. So the coaches just took the world-record time and said ‘Ok, you have to run 7:30 per mile,’ which is way slower than what it should have been if it were done today. But we didn’t have anything to gauge it by. We just picked a figure. Really, that's where it went. That's why I had so much left at the end. Because it was so much slower than my natural tempo...than what I could have done. I could have run 6:30 miles, but we just did not know what we were doing.”
