Is it time for Jordan Hasay to hang it up? Hasay 2:41:43, Flanagan 2:40:34.

Yeah except there aren't recent LetsRun threads calling some of the still running men on that list to call it quits. This thread is a bit gross. But it is on brand. That's for sure.

I’ve seen threads on Centro, Derrick, others

Sports fans rip and praise their stars .

What’s the big deal!?

Definitely alarming result. I mean this is like 20 min slower than a world class athlete not even a semi-pro time. Not talking about mediocre American runners 2:27-2:30 that’s not elite level.

Overtrained, untrained, sick, lack of motivation?

Who knows but definitely something very wrong.

Alexi was smarter than Hasay tho. She has her own movie and journalistic identity.

When the Marriot purchased mass amounts of TVs with bad interface programming, Alexi made out huge when her commercials for her movie went on repeat for hours on end. That's a lot of free publicity.

Alexi also qualified for the Olympics and has been there done that. She was also topless in the movie.

Jordan should try and emulate what Lexi did

I can just see it now...

Movie is called Jordanville, Alexi makes a cameo, story based out of the Idaho mtn home in Park Island. Disney movies. Hot tubs. Cabins. Massages. Slumber parties. And unlimited supplies of cytomel popsicles in the summer.

Like a summer camp that never ends!

Thanks for clarifying who the nasty negative jerks are on this thread. I figured they were Trumpsters. Some people get their kicks out of being a**holes like their hero.

Umm...ever heard of Alberto Salazar?

Or Dick Beardsley? Or pretty much most every marathoner at a certain point?

Well Beardsley had a rough go because of multiple serious accidents and opioid addiction, not necessarily due to overtraining and burnout

Iv followed Jordan throughout most of her career. I actually had the privilege to meet her at the Chicago Marathon when she tan 2:20:57. She is a super nice woman and seems very down to earth. I honestly think Alberto Salazar was a really good coach for her. He just knew how to train her to the best of ability. She is definitely not guilty of any doping or anything like that.. she isn’t the type. I don’t think she has the proper training she once had with Salazar. I mean yeah I know he was sketchy but regardless he was a damn good coach. I honestly feel so bad for her because I know all she wants is to have a good race again. I do think she may just need some time to figure things out and find the proper training for her to get better again. She seems very on top of all the little things she needs to be doing, so I don’t think it’s that. Rooting for her though, she’s got so many that still love and support her!

I hate to be that guy but I really feel jordan has an eating disorder or is highly malnutrition. Ryan hall has mentioned now that he’s wiser and buff that In hindsight he should have raced a lil heavier and stronger. She does lift but with her extremely low weight she probably feels weak a lot. I hope someone can talk to her maybe someone at Nike. She was never this thin in college. You can see it in her face

Maybe Jordan Hasay is anemic, has Covid-19 (symptomatic breakthrough infection severe enough to affect short-term running ability)

Eating disorder?

You never regarded Jordan as a marathoner- what? She’s clearly a natural at the marathon (her strongest distance), ran 2:20 (not 2:22), and has been on 3 WMM podiums.

For all those folks suggesting when someone else should retire: what difference does it make to you? If she wants to keep training, how does it impact you?

They want Americans winning medals at the pro level. They want to enjoy watching the pros and having a (clean) American in the mix to root for.

In this case I think there is a genuine concern for her health and the negative impact running may be having on it.

Please, she was doping while at NOP. COME ON. I’ve seen her in Boulder/Longmont running with the Emma’s “bruh squad”. That probably doesn’t help. She needs to come clean and take a break and start from the basics. Work with a blue collar squad. With truth comes freedom.

I fail to understand the vicious pile on an athlete. Or any person for that matter. Has she done something, wrong? Hurt someone? She has like many, achieved great highs and experienced rough lows. Do you only support someone when they are up? Not referring to the OP but the community on here. Can you imagine how hard it is for someone like her to have these struggles? Is it that hard to be supportive and kind?

Go to any pro sports message board after a bad loss and it is much more harsh than what Jordan is getting here. You'll practically see death threats because someone didn't kick a ball through a goal post or put a ball through a hoop. This thread is nothing.

I stand by what I said. She would have had a far longer and personally rewarding career if she had stayed with track and shorter roads a lot longer. Once you go 'thons you don't go back.

She was lifting heavy weights under Sal.

Hermit? Rupp has a normal life. He’s married to someone of the opposite sex and has a gang of kids.

Did she not keep a log? She has 3 yrs of training to recreate. Can’t be in any worse shape than when signing with OTC,

Genetic?
