It looks like Pascal has her gear dialed in. Hopefully, he learned from the mistakes he made in 2020.
Pascal Dobert is one of the biggest cheats in track & field. He did it himself in Kenya back in the day and is a cancer for clean sport in the last 15 years and today.
I’m shocked he still works on track with his shady past
To get this thread back on topic... Karissa is entered in the Brussels 5k. Seems like she's ready for a season's best, given her fast close in Zurich and her win in NYC -- especially if the pace is less suicidal than it was in Zurich.

Yep.
Feel like Schweizer is roughly back at her 2020 shape.
4:14.8 ~ 3:55,9.
She might be able to go ~8:20 and 14:20.
Very strong mile, but so is her AR 3000i (8:25) and her 14:26.
Ali on the Run Show 748. Karissa Schweizer, Two-Time Olympian & 2024 Fifth Avenue Mile Champion
Sep 19, 2024
"Sometimes you need to just shut your brain off and run."
At this time last year, Karissa Schweizer was undergoing foot surgery. Then, as she mounted her comeback heading into an Olympic year, she faced another setback: a femoral stress fracture. But as we know, the comeback is always greater than the setback, and Karissa proved that by racing both the 5000m and the 10,000m at the U.S. Olympic Track & Field Team Trials on her home turf at Hayward Field in Eugene, OR, making the team in both distances. She went on to finish in the top 10 in both events at the Paris Olympic Games. Karissa's season didn't end there: She went on to race the 5000m at the Zurich Diamond League, she raced (and won!) the Fifth Avenue Mile, and she ran a season's best in the 5000m at the Diamond League Final in Brussels. Now, the two-time Olympian, Nike-sponsored athlete, and longtime Bowerman Track Club member is back in Oregon for some much-deserved downtime, and back on the Ali on the Run Show to catch us up on all of it.
