We just published a great interview Jon did with Alicia Monson.
After her record breaking 2023 (American records at 3k, 5k, & 10k) she's opening up 2024 with the 2 mile at Millrose. Then it's The TEN where she hopes to be the first American sub 30, and event talks about going...... 29:30!!!
Quote: "First of all, seeing 29 at the front would be huge, just because no American has ever gone under 30:00. We’ve kind of thrown around 29:30, but obviously that’s a lot easier said than done"
All of this to be ready for the 10,000 in Paris. She may not even run the 5,000.
She talks about training with Hellen Obiri, her speed, and trying to win her first USATF title.
