Since the young age of 12, Jordan Hasay has been in the spotlight and has progressively run to increasingly better times. How does she do this? There are many of us out here wondering? Please tell us Jordan, Alberto? How can you keep it going since the age of 12, now 23 and improving day by day? Unbelievable.
Is there anyone (other than Mary Decker) who has had more success as a prodigy than Jordan Hasay in distance running? Who is still running since Jordan was 12? Anyone?
Here is the video of the race
Talent and focus.
What is dead obvious about Jordan is that she has the rare combination of 1000% commitment with complete faith in her coaches. Fortunately, that faith has been rewarded over a number (but not too many) of coaching changes.
Stay focused. You can do it. You can talk to Jordan on her website. She is open to anyone who is interested in running. Just twitter her. She is awesome and should write a book!
What is fascinating about this gal is the fact that she has been on the national scene since the age of 12! TWELVE? She keeps improving at the young age of 23. I don't know about you, but THAT is pretty impressive. How does one do that? Please explain that.

You fail to see how running faster and faster each year is beneficial? Ok.
Many athletes run faster and faster each year, but they aren't entered in international competitions where their weaknesses get exposed and they run embarrassing slow final laps. You're missing the point. She needs to not be entered in these elite middle distance events. She ran a PB and STILL got smoked. Getting your butt kicked when you run your all time best is not mentally productive.

She's a real cutie pie. Who cares if she doesn't have a kick. In a few years, she will be so far ahead of everybody with a lap to go that it won't matter.
Her problem is lack of conditioning not leg speed. If she was getting out kicked after dropping a 63 we could talk about lack of speed

This.
It's about speed reserves. She was gassed, not out kicked. Have you all not raced before? Been too dead to kick the last 200? It has nothing to do with speed.
Hasay 'pacing' the 3000m, what was that all about? She couldn't even keep up with girls that finished the race. Plus she got in the way of people just before she dropped out! Salazar losing it.

Don't most people improve from 12 to 23? Ie, aren't most people faster in college than in high school than in middle school?
Don't forget that EVERY NOPer IS A DOPER. And that includes little jordan hasay.
Not really. odod you clearly don't understand running. Women go through "periods" (no pun intended) where they can slow up or get faster with maturity. Jordan has been on a constant uphill improvement since the age of 12. Not many girls have demonstrated that kind of athleticism. Go back when Jordan ran in high school and college. How many of those girls are running professionally today? Can you name them?

She should have not run this race? Because two other women beat her? How about the other seven women in the race that she did beat?
Only winners are allowed to run in staged races: see Mo Farah.

Even when she was younger, her coaches were always careful to keep her training at a minimum level to be successful. The goal then was that she could keep progressing as she got older. It has worked out vey well and should be a lesson to other runners.
