She's just so much better than that though. Maybe she needs a sustained break from the sport for a few months to reset. Something is obviously going wrong. Maybe a new training group. The set-up before obviously suited her.
This is personally disappointing to me. All of you morans who doubt her can go to heck. Those of us who stan her will keep 1000% behind her. Brb, I'm going to make a JH YouTube channel and see how many subscribers I can get. LOL Going to call it Have you ever heard of Jordan Hasay?
She needs some therapy for the likely abuse under Salazar and for her own problems. She most likely has an ED.
This is the post. Whether she recognizes it or not, she has some mental health issues. The best thing for her would probably be to get a therapist, get a job, leave the running world, and be a normal person for a few years. She's young enough where she could always come back to running.
She finished top 10 women. She has to be happy with that.
This year was not a very strong field. Tuliamuk had a great race - faster than a few years ago. Sellers had a strong race too. In 2018-2019 when this was the USATF Half Marathon champs, 10th would be fine. This year .. sorry, not a great result. I was hoping to see her run around 1:13-1:14 at worst.
Having run the course myself, I'd put her time at around a low 2:40 equivalent. Jack Daniels VDOT tables give it a 2:44 .. but PGH isn't a flat course .. probably ~2-3 minutes faster at Houston or somewhere fast for the half.
I hope she figures it out .. getting a better diet, coaching .. Taking a break like others have said.
This result is so bad it goes beyond just having an “off” day. Really feel for Jordan. I hope she gets the help she needs to not just be a better runner, but healthy person.

You got it. She needs a sustained break from the sport, I’m talking a year or longer of no running and no following the sport. I know it’s easier said than done if it’s your whole life. I’m willing to bet she is talented in other things in life.
On the flip side, if she never runs a step again, she had a great career and I’m a guy and would have killed for some of her results.
I feel sorry for her in that she is under a microscope in the running community. She doesn’t owe anybody (well maybe Nike a bit) anything. Take a prolonged break, heal what is ailing her and comeback, only if she wants to.

2-3 minutes seems on the high end. Kiptoo ran 61:25 and I can't think that he's close to being a sub-60 guy just yet even on a fast, flat course. It's tough for Hasay, but I'd be surprised if there was 2 minutes in this course for her. Even if there was, running 75-76 doesn't signal much of an upturn in form, she needs at least a 71 to be confident things are moving int he right direction
Hard for me to say at the pro level, I'm just a hobby jogger now. Probably depends a bit on how someone handles the hill on the bridge. Aliphine Tuliamuk ran 1:09:49 in Houston in 2020 and she seems pretty consistent over the last few years. .. usually in that 69-70 minute range.
Hasay went through 4.4 miles at 76 pace, so she clearly wasn't expecting a ~71 today.
As I said, I hope she takes some time away from racing and hard training and figures it out...
