Jordan Hasay Blogs about her indoor season

Who?

Admittedly, I am not going to read the blog, but shouldn't this thread announce that a Jordan Hasay handler blogs about her indoor season?

Jordan is probably my favorite female runner. It's crazy how much she continues to PR under Salazar in a myriad of events. I expect some big things from her these coming years. The question isn't if, but WHEN she'll run sub 15 and sub 31? And if she gets her closing speed to about 57-58, how long till she medals? 2020 10k?

Sub 31? you gotta run a lot faster than sub 31 to be relevant on the world stage.

I was at that state meet in 2008 and remember the race well. It was a classic. Sadly, Chetelet and Dunn only ran about at year at Stanford. Both were very talented runners. Don't know what happened there.

"...in a myriad of events?" - you must be a fellow U of Oregon graduate. "Myriad" means "innumerable" so "a" and "of" should not be used. She will never medal - she is a mediocre runner. Please skip following her blog and educate self on English and grammar. Thanks in advance.

LOL - check yourself first - your definitions are making it "a a" - it means innumerable - i.e., "...myriad events."

I really want to punch both of you losers.

I can't understand why the "men" on the LRC mbs are so threatened by talented young women...

Chetelet had a great freshman year at Stanford, running 15:43 for 5k. There were a lot of folks like myself who thought she was going to be far superior to Hasay. But she immediately transferred to Cal for reasons that were never really clear (coach conflict? boyfriend?) and was never the same runner. I think Tony Sandoval worked his usual magic...

Looking back at the girls who competed against Jordan (high school, college, and now pros), nobody ever made it? Why? Any thoughts on this besides the fact that running is a hard sport? It's crazy.

This^^^

No one who posts on this board is qualified to criticize anything about Jordan's incredible career,

restrictive eating>overtraining>eating disorders>amenorrhea>low bone density>repeated stress fractures

Hasay clearly never fell into this cycle

Five major Reasons why great h.s and college runners never progress are obvious:

1. They have injuries

2. They are burned out

3. They have other interests

4. There is no money in the sport

5. There is no publicity in the sport (with the exception of letsrun and track and field news)

You have to admire Hasay for making it through all these obstacles while maintaining the desire, intensity, and fortitude that allows her to keep improving each year. All this since she was in the national spotlight at the age of 12? That's crazy stuff. The girl loves running.

All I know is that my 15 and 12 year old daughters idolize Jordan. And that's all that matters at this young age. Girls who love running and look up to someone.
