here at the hoka flagship store on fifth avenue just days away from the 2025 new york city

marathon with jess warnerd. How excited are you,

I guess, like the marathon is coming up less than 48 hours away? Like, where your nerves at?

Where is the excitement level at, Jess? Like, it's been a long time coming. Yeah, I'm really excited.

I think I was probably really excited at the start in the marathon build. Then it sort of

like got really tough in the marathon build. And then it was like this feeling the like dread.

And then now I'm like, oh, I'm excited again. So I'm hoping that the excitement will just last until

Sunday. But yeah, nerves are a little. I think it's the fear really unknown. But just the city

and the buzz around it's amazing.

I remember interviewing you at the 2013 like Birmingham Diamond League. And back then,

like you were still running 800, 1500. Like now the concept of like a marathon and just like how far

you've been able to make this progression like, does it still feel like this big thing that you're

trying to tackle? Yeah, it's, it's so weird because I think someone asked me like, oh, would you ever do an 800 again? I was like, absolutely not. Like, I think I'd just tear like my hamstrings just on the start line. So it's very different. But I've, I've loved the training. I think especially after the last couple of years it's just been really tough and so actually like to get stuck in

and enjoy it again and actually be able to push myself. I think just stepping away from the track and I wasn't sure what it was going to look like. And yeah, I've just loved it. So I'm hoping that the marathon like will go well or like I'll just enjoy the whole process. I haven't really got any expectations. It's just exciting. What was the best part about marathon training? Because I feel like sometimes people could just dread the mileage, the volume and all that stuff. But, you know, there's a beauty in it too. Yeah, there is. I think, um, it's been weird because I say like, it's kind of like a sadistic feeling where you're like,

oh, I'm enjoying this, but it's really uncomfortable. I say I probably enjoyed the long run

sessions the most. So doing like, say like 24 miles, but broken up into sessions that was

or like reps was that was really fun in a weird way. And the double threshold days that was my first real

experience of it so it was nice to have my husband for the the second session of the day um

but the first one was so hard to get yourself out for on your own um but again I think it's like

when you look back at all at work and you think oh actually like I've got myself fit and I've got
