Becky averaged a very respectable 5:50/mile for her half marathon.

There's no definitive answer. Deena is 40, and has to be among the favorites to win a spot on the Olympic team. But, she is an outlier. I would say that 28-32 would be a typical peak range for an American woman marathon runner.

RE: Becky Wade update
First of all, Deena Kastor is 42. Amazing. Here are the ages at which the top current Americans ran their fastest marathons:

1. Kastor 2:19:36 (age 33)
2. Shalane Flanagan 2:21:14 (age 33)
3. DesireƩ Linden 2:22:38 (age 27)
4. Kara Goucher 2:24:52 (age 32)
5. Amy Hastings 2:27:03 (age 27)
6. Renee Baillie 2:27:17 (age 30)
7. Serena Burla 2:28:01 (age 31)
8. Kellyn Johnson 2:28:40 (age 28)
9. Annie Bersagel 2:28:59 (age 33)
10. Blake Russell 2:29:10 (age 30)
11. Jen Rhines 2:29:32 (age 31)
12. Stephanie Rothstein 2:29:35 (age 27)
13. Janet Bawcom 2:29:45 (age 34)
14. Clara Grandt 2:29:54 (age 24)

I did not include Deeja Youngquist because she received a two-year doping ban (EPO).

FYI I sent Amazon an email indicating that the brief bio listed was for another Becky Wade. Unless I missed something Becky is not married and doesn't have 3 children...though the Becky referenced is from Dallas. 03-lmfao

Indeed. That Becky is a California native who attended Baylor and "met a Texas boy there." After living abroad, they now reside in Dallas. She writes contemporary Christian fiction/romance novels.
