Jordan Hassay Reads "the message boards"

I root for her to give her best effort. I would go through the roof with excitement if does win a major. The trials was a tough course. I hope she rocks her next marathon.

I bet she gets in her morning 60 minutes, strength workout, breakfast fruit protein shake, showers, then hops on the couch bare-bottomed in her YOUR MOVE CENTRO T-shirt giggling with delight at all the trolls.

Centro has been a forum reader and poster for many years. Never under his own name. There are many others.

Marathoners are obviously all necessarily thin but that picture accompanying the article is absolutely alarming.

I think she looks fantastic?

There is nothing wrong with her picture.

hey jordan, a few of us are idiots. if you ever figure things out will you come back and help us out of here? ps your coach is full of it. tell him we'll be glad to set him straight. and that he should be more accurate if he's going to really pretend to know what he's talking about. anyway how fast can you walk 6 miles? and go eat because i'm late for practice.

All the best to Jordan!

I triple dog dare Jordan to post pics on this forum so the internet can officially break.

I always wonder if she will ever cut her hair.

I hope she has her injury issues resolved and any other medical issues resolved and nails it at Boston. If her workouts are going great then maybe it has recently just been a confidence issue, she just needs one good race to get back on track, something in the 2:25-2:29 range.

Also all professional athletes in all sports have fans that root for them and have fan that don't like them. That just the way it is and I think all of these athletes don't really let that get to them.

I hope she runs well again, 3rd Fastest American all time in the Marathon, so she has ability and she is still young especially for a Marathoner at about age 30, I root for her to get back, hopefully it is just a bad patch, Good Luck to her.

Actually EXACTLY age 30 (Just looked it up) Happy Birthday to her.

Should ask her if she has ever learned anything of value, and what, from reading letsrun's board. And congratulate her for making the front page by talking vaguely enough for us to interpret that sometimes she stops through.

I feel like in that old interview, on camera, with her dad, that he had a bit of a mixed message about this place. Maybe we could find a screen shot of his facial expression right around the time he was asked if he's noticed this place.

It would be interesting to see video of a few of Jordan's workouts some time. Sort of fits in with that statement of, we can't possibly understand because we aren't there for the workouts. But, judging by how many views even very short clips of her running get, there would certainly be a lot of people interested in seeing some of those workouts.

Good luck to you...when I read the article I felt sorry for her. It's a tough sport without armchair critics taking swipes at you. Don't worry though. They really have no idea what they are talking about.

Cool to see she reads Letsrun, but I do feel bad for her considering how rude and insensitive you anonymous 50yrs are.

Jordan, if you're reading this, you're gonna crush it in Boston. Don't listen to the haters.

^ That's rich, an ageist calling others "haters." I am reminded of the poster in another recent thread decrying "racist rednecks."

there is no need to be rude or get personal, but when she performs poorly, it is up for discussion. when she performs poorly for 30 months, that is worthy of discussion. Whether or not she can ever regain form is a valid discussion.

Very cool person for sure though, regardless. I will 100% root for her success until the day she hangs up her trainers.

She needs to stop the deadlifts and squats. Not conducive to the running motion and it builds muscles that conflict with forward propulsion.

I don't know what weight training she is or is not doing. I'll broaden it to T&F athletes and runners in general. Lifting heavy weights in general makes athletes vulnerable to injuries directly from weight lifting. The risk/reward for deadlifts for all T&F athletes and runners except shot putters, IMO no deadlifts. IMO, squats for sure for 60m to 800m athletes. I don't know if squatting with heavy weights is or is not worth the risk for Marathoners.

I have her fourth in Boston here:
