Summary

Jordan Hasay raised a lot of eyebrows with her 2:20:57 for third place during Sunday's Chicago Marathon to become the second-fastest American woman of all time over 26.2. I spoke with Jordan Hasay at length on Thursday morning for a story on Sports Illustrated, which I highly recommend that you check out. We titled it "Jordan Hasay Is On Her Way To Becoming America’s Next Great Marathoner" and she proved us right! No SI curse there. I decided to take the audio file of the interview and share it with you listeners because of how special that performance was. The story has pretty much all the best parts of the interview but there were a few tidbits and cool quotes that I didn't know where to fit into the post so it was left on the editing floor. There's a little bit on how she was recruited to join the Nike Oregon Project, how she deals with the pressure of expectations, how running is still fun for her after being a phenom for so many years + much more. I won't do this very often since I usually like to keep quotes that I didn't use in a notebook for future projects. Decided to make an exception here, so enjoy!

0:00.0	Surprise, surprise hit with your host, Chris Chavez here with another mini episode of the City Smack podcast.
0:05.0	I really didn't anticipate for this to be a podcast episode because it was just, you know, an audio recording of a phone call that I had with Jordan
0:15.2	Hasee last week before she ran the Chicago Marathon and if you're listening to
0:20.1	this now you obviously know that Jordan ran 220 57 to become the second fastest American woman of all time.
0:28.0	You know, it was a new Chicago course record for an American woman.
0:32.0	It's the fastest marathon by an American woman on
0:34.2	US soil. Lots of process from the race. So I figured it'd be cool for you guys to
0:39.1	listen to the actual interview that took place on Thursday I believe it was. We talked a little
0:45.6	bit about you know her debut in Boston a little bit on the passing of her mother back
0:50.6	in November of 2016 a little bit on how she really hasn't had a bad moment in her career
0:58.2	since she was this big high school star out of California.
1:02.0	Everything has really gone pretty smoothly for
1:03.7	Jordan his day. So you know we dubbed it that you know Jordan his day would be the
1:07.8	next great American marathoner and it has it's happening a lot sooner than we
1:11.4	thought. This is only her second career marathon and she's already number two on the US all time list. I think we have someone a really special talent on her hands here, a potential future American record holder. She's well on her way to making that happen and so
1:26.8	yeah so in this interview we talked a little bit about all that kind of stuff and at the same time
1:32.3	there was a little a couple bits and
1:33.9	pieces here that didn't make it how she was recruited into the Nike Oregon
1:37.0	project is goes back to 2013 which I found a little bit interesting and how really
1:40.9	the culture has changed there since you know there's been
1:44.4	the departure of people like Mary Kane and Traneer Moser and she's moved up to the
1:48.5	marathon so it's been really interesting and I figured you guys would want to listen take you know 15 20 minutes out of your day to catch you know a mini episode of the podcast so I really won't do this too often because I like to keep a lot of these quotes and stuff in a notebook stored
