Jordan hasay 72:35 3rd in Philadelphia half

I was there, just watching, not running. Anyway, after the race Jordan was definitely doing some kind of workout. It was not a cool down jog. But not all out either. She was talking with fans who she ran by. I actually yelled "Go Jordan! First in our hearts!" as she ran by me! And she waved!! She even spoke to me. Said something like "What's up, Philly? I'm still in the game, baby" - I think she called me Philly because I was wearing a 76ers jersey. An old Iverson retro top that I really like.

Anyway, by saying she was "still in the game" I think she meant "don't worry about today's result, it is all part of His plan."

So likely an AR in Chicago is back on the table.

You should have left out all those sad details.

Are we all forgetting just how good of a marathoner Hasay is? She has done extremely well in Chicago. I mean 2:20 is nothing to sniff your nose at.

She also seems made for the marathon. And excelling at that exact distance. Not the half but the full. So yeah I am not too worried what her half time is with probably 100miles in the legs that week. Come taper she will be flying. She has said multiple times when she did half that while she lacked top speed she felt she could easily hold that pace another half marathon.

So with tapered legs two 1:10 half back to back seem entirely possible for her. Hard but possible.

Only two people it seems are comfortable with Jordans effort at Philly, her coach and Jordan herself.

Funny all the board jockeys here have not made mention that she is training for the marathon at altitude ( Utah) for her very first time, doing the same type of milage she did at sea level. An adjustment for sure, but a new level of resistance and fitness to take her to the next level.

My gut tells me she is right on track for her goals at Chicago. If the weather is good, then maybe just maybe we will get to see her run a sub 2:20.

Who cares? So she's human and maybe had off day? I think there is a misconception that world class racers run well all the time.

All of this speculation is a bit silly. Her performance is between Jordan and her support network. If anything, I am a fan now. She handled it with such grace and didn't make a long list of excuses, nor did she feel the need to justify an off day. That's far better than what most can offer when they have a crap day.

Like the GD Kara Goucher waterworks.

Her boyfriend probably agrees
