She already holds the half marathon record. Here’s what she says about her goals for October 9.
While she’s not yet committing, if everything goes right, the record isn’t out of the question, she noted. “Ideally, I think, sub 2:20 to me would be amazing,” she said. “If it’s a great day and I’m feeling good and if I’m within shouting distance of the record … I’ll take a stab at it.” Here’s what else Sisson had to say 10 days out from the race.Her record-breaking run came in the middle of a series of setbacks.
“We didn’t know exactly why things weren’t going very well,” she said, thinking it was likely a combination of post-COVID effects, the hard effort of the half, and the return to high altitude. “But we do know I respond really well and I recover pretty fast when I drop down to sea level.” On September 5, Sisson and D’Amato battled back and forth for most of the USATF 20K Road Championships. D’Amato, who’d said she was in American marathon record shape at the time, eventually won by 6 seconds, in a course record. “To be that close [to D’Amato] when she thought she was in that shape I thought was a really good place to be five weeks out from Chicago,” Sisson said.
“One of the hardest parts of the job, I find, is having to miss out on family events, because I’m training or I have races. I feel like I don’t get to spend as much time in Chicago with them as I’d like,” she said. “Anytime I’m there, I’m excited to see them.”After the setbacks this year, Sisson’s marathon cycle—including long runs, tempos, and workouts—has gone well. She didn’t miss a single day of running and had only one workout that felt below average.
