Shalane Flanagan went to Berlin to break the AR, and while she ran a courageous race, and ran a PB by 48 seconds, she was third and did not get the AR. Deena Kastor told me this morning that Shalane Flanagan should be proud of her two PBs this year, 2:22.02 and now, 2:21.14!
This interview was done by Andy Edwards of Race Service News after Shalanes’s race this morning!
