JORDAN HASAY IS THE 2ND FASTEST MARATHONER IN AMERICAN HISTORY!!!!!

Pretty extraordinary at the distance, a 2:23 debut and now 2:20:57! And this for a runner who was never all that good at the 10k. Remarkable performance here running alone the 2nd hour, according to the telecast.

I've been a Jordan Hasay fan for 10 years now and always believed she had this type of performance in her. Despite the negativity on Letsrun and constant talk of burnout, she has proved the haters wrong and pulled through every time!!! It is a GREAT year to be a Jordan Hasay fan!

It's still more than a minute slower than the AR, which is huge, and I doubt she can run faster than 2:20.

She ran GREAT! 2:20:XX how many here predicted it? Not I. How many times did 30:22 Gal Flannagan try for this kind of performance? Nothing against SF, its all about Hasay.

Remember when some of you idiots earlier this year were saying she isnt even an elite runner?

She wasn't when they were saying that.

If she had gone out the first half a minute or so slower and the weather was 10 degrees cooler, she would have been under 2:20 today.

Twice she came in second place in the 10k at USA Champs. Then a bad injury came. So stupid to say she was great track runner.

Could not have said it better. How about that Olympic Trials 1500 Semi? How about "Come to Oregon"? She has come a long way, earned what she has, which is a lot. She looked a bit lethargic on the track compared to what she is doing now.

Consistency.

Get back to me when she's still running well and churning out sub 2:23 marathons a couple of years later.

Like all of the women in your life, no one is getting back to you.

Please note how Flannagan would finish, always struggling, Jordan stayed strong and was sprinting in the finish to run sub 2:21. SF never had the gas in the tank at the end, Jordan does. Better weather day with a paced race, she will become the american record holder.

Given she just turned 26, is still learning the event, seems to hold up well with marathon training, she is fast over the distance in two types of opposite courses ( Boston with hills up and down, flat fast Chicago).

Her marathon pace average now is faster than any other american woman, period!

I think this will give confidence now over other racing where we will see improvement in her half marathon time, 15-20K races and I bet a better 10k time somewhere in the mix or road or track.

Future looks bright for Jordan. Just needs to stay healthy.

MAGA

Very impressed! I didn’t think she would run as fast as Boston due to the temps. I did think she could break 2:23.

What an exciting day for the USA in the marathon! I'm very excited for Jordan Hasay and hopes she goes on to break the American record and keep going strong. I really enjoy how she shares her weightlifting videos so club runners like me get to learn a bit about how the pros train.

HOORAY FOR JORDAN!

YOU ROCK JORDAN!

I am thrilled to bits for you.

I'm with you track gal. Haters are going to hate hate hate...haven't we heard that somewhere before?

She is the happiest of runners as I've ever seen.

Let's stick to facts.

1- She is new to the marathon. Meaning, hasn't really run that many.

2- She has shown that she is not just good, she is great.

3- She is humble, and gives credit to everyone around her.

4- She is our best hope of an Olympic medal in the marathon in 2020.

People that are criticizing her are either jealous or ignorant. or both.

Non facts; Being with Al Sal, does raise an eyebrow, but has she ever tested positive for anything?

No? Then, stfu

Hasay probably wishes she had invented Picky Bars!

So didn't Lance.

Reminds me of where Ryan Hall was 9-10 years ago. Fast mile runner in high school, plateaued a little at that in college, some good track races after college, then really hitting it big at the half/full marathon events. Not afraid to mix it up with the best in the world and go out hard like Hall did too.

I just ran a twitter search on Jordan and noticed none of the US elites have tweeted congrats to her or Galen. I guess they view her guilty by association? It's a shame bc I think Jordan is a class act and if she were to get the US record in the next few years I'd hate for people to discredit her bc of her ties to Salazar.

Considering the weather, I'd say the record is hers for the taking.
