Distance runners tend to peak in their mid 30s, so the new record holder is likely near her peak performance, whereas a 20 year-old would likely have many faster years ahead of her. And, despite taking some time off from competition, the new 37 year-old record holder probably has a lot more training miles behind her than a 20 year-old would.

Now, the shoe rules have become a bit more refined, and rival companies have incorporated similar technology. Additionally, many runners have chosen who they run for based on the available shoes. So today, I think we've reached a new equilibrium that could generally be considered "fair" but in getting to this point, there were some big competitions when Nike athletes definitely had an unfair advantage.

Okay so put yourself in a pair of the new Nike’s, even if you don’t like how they fit, before you go for a quick 5k around the block, and then decide if you still think you could run faster than this lady because of the shoes!
On a related note, I’m also super impressed with Sara Hall’s American half marathon record, now her and her husband have the same record! |

Amazing and awesome. I bet she'll be an incredible ultrarunner in 10 years.

What's better, more aero or less weight?

And don't forget Kikkan Randall, who returned to cross-country skiing after becoming a mom, and was the first American (male or female) to win an Olympic gold medal in cross-country skiing (with co-winner with Jessie Diggins in the team sprint event) in the 2018 Olympics. That year she was the only mom on the US Olympic team.

They inspect whether the shoes have the proper logos?

I dont get the mom thing- "mom does this", "mom does that". Not only is it irrelevant-esp in the context of elite athletes, but it perpetuates a stereotype.

But on the specific question of the record, this is more like Moser breaking Merckx's hour record. Both incredibly fast, but not directly comparable.
