Sunday's race has yet another purpose for Huddle. It will kick-off her training for her next marathon, a distance that she hasn't taken on since the 2020 Olympic Trials in Atlanta when she was forced to drop out with an injury. Although she wasn't at liberty to reveal which race it will be, she said that the timing of the NYC Half was perfect, just like it always was.
"So, I'm really focusing more on the roads now; it fits in really well with that plan now," Huddle said. She continued: "This is going to kick off a marathon build-up for me, so this will be a really good race to fit into my marathon block as we go forward the next two months."
