Sifan Hassan's crazy workout 10 days out from Worlds. Nobody's gonna stop her in this shape...

They were in St. Moritz. There were/are pictures on Jessica Hull's instagram (and elsewhere, but often only in the "stories" that vanish after a day or two). Of course, no idea if these workouts are really inside information or someone just made them up.

Some data wrote:

From my 2016 log:

PM: 6 x 1600 with :90 jogging

5:02, 4:55, 4:52, 4:48, 4:47, 4:42

6:00 easy

6 x 200 on the minute

31, 31, 30, 31, 29, 29

I ran 14:33 and 30:16 that year. The workout listed doesn’t seem crazy for a 14:15-20 runner like Hassan.

You had 30 sec more rest (but did 1 more mile rep), and your 6x200 is not even close to 10x400.

5x1mile w/1' easy jog between repetitions. Splits : 4'52" / 4'49" / 4'49" / 4'43" / 4'42"

Molly Huddle did that workout before NYC Marathon without magic shoes

Oh wait sorry no, she did SEVEN x mile @ 4:50-ish

On asphalt, not mondo track.

And Molly's not on WADA watchlist for suspicious bio-passport, so there's that too...

Molly Huddle did 7 x mile in 4:55. Hassan did 5 x mile in 4:47 avg, then did 10 x 400 quite a bit faster.

Followed by 5' easy jog and 10x400m w/1' easy jog between reps. Splits : 69" / 70" / 68" / 68" / 69" / 66" / 67" / 65" / 65" / 63"

Unbeatable?

The 1' easy jogs are what makes the session especially impressive.

I like it!

The 10k / 5k double is the option that I'd like to see. Thanks for sharing.

Why would you rather see the 10k/5k double? Lame. Been done. The 10k/1500 double would be epic. Seriously, why do you prefer the lame option?

10k, 15? Lame. Been done. The 100 and the marathon would be epic. Seriously, why do YOU suggest the lame option?

I just asked her coach Tim Rowburry on instagram if this was real. He said no I saw this too, it’s completely fake hhaa

Am I the only one who thinks the 10/15 will be a easier double for her than 10/5?

Source for this workout?

Sure, the 1500 is easier than the 5k. The 800 would be even easier.

She's not running easy races. She's running the hard ones for results.

You guys are crazy! Too much hype for Siffan . 5K rightfully belongs to Obiri. She has never disappointed on the big stage. Siffan needs to guard the silver because I see either Koko or Gidey stealing it from her. Salazar goes home disappointed as usual.

Salazar coaches one of the best running clubs in the world. Let's see how disappointed he is when NOP leaves Doha with a massive medal haul.

You're the only one.

Tim Rowburry, whoever that is, is not her coach.

I think the fake news is your post.
