Gwen is 5'10" and 126lbs currently. That's big for a marathon runner, even a male marathoner. OTOH Paula Radcliffe was 5'8" and 119lbs, so it is not disqualifying, just makes it unlikely Gwen can be a good marathoner. Paula was a massive outlier in many ways. So is Gwen of course, between her physical talent and smart analytical training methods, it may be possible.. 'Average' Olympic women marathoners are 5'4" and 105lbs. Jordan Hasay is 5'4" though I don't find a weight, would guess she is not over 100lbs, basically the perfect build for marathon. Ten-mile races are very different from marathons..
Specifically for Tokyo the likely heat of the race will make it immensely difficult for a big runner to do well. But I do hope to see GJ there, will be cheering for her all the way..
Did you personally weigh her today? Her weight has been all over the place both pre and post pregnancy so it's kind of ridiculous that you claim to know her exact weight (to the pound) today.
