Summary

Jordan Hasay joins the CITIUS MAG Podcast after finishing third at the 2019 Boston Marathon in 2:25:20. That's three major marathons in her career and three third place finishes. This year's race marked her first marathon since the 2017 Chicago Marathon, where she ran 2:20:57 to become the second-fastest marathoner in U.S. history. We discuss what it was like to comeback from a whole year being sidelined by injury. She takes us through her training which included two to three 25-mile long runs; a 20-miler at 5:40 pace and some 200s that got down to 32 seconds. Speed work for a marathon! She shares some insight into coach Alberto Salazar's training philosophy, which sometimes includes surprises at the end of workouts. We touch on her plans to attack Deena Kastor's American record of 2:19:36 at the Chicago Marathon in October; an early preview of the 2020 U.S. Olympic marathon Trials; battling the disappointment of missing the 2016 U.S. Olympic team and the decision to move to the roads. Jordan was particularly excited about the final questions that we ask every guest so stay put for her funniest drug testing story and whether or not she would take the 25 shots for $25 million. This was one of our best interviews yet. Apologies for some minor sound issues while recording. ------ Support for the CITIUS MAG Podcast comes from SOAR RUNNING.

0:00.0	Back in October 2017, I wrote an article for Sports Illustrated title, Jordan Hisei is on her way to becoming America's next great marathoner.
0:08.4	And credit to my editor, that's been able to hold up.
0:11.5	For a little bit of time, there was a bit of a scare.
0:14.8	She withdrew from the 2018 Boston Marathon due to a stress fracture in her heel, and then the injury persisted and she was
0:22.0	unable to run at the 2018 Chicago Marathon. But just over a week ago, Hasei proved that she is back
0:28.4	with a third place finish at the Boston Marathon. That's three major marathons in her career
0:34.4	and three third place finishes. Before that race, I was at the
0:38.6	Fairmont-Coplay Hotel for the lead athlete press conferences in the days leading up to the race,
0:44.3	and Jordan spotted me standing nearby and called me over to tell me that one, she listens to
0:49.6	the podcast, which I was very happy to hear, and two, that she already has an answer for the $25 million shot question.
0:58.5	And if you are a loyal listener of the show, you know that is the last question that we ask every guest.
1:04.5	And so I decided that after the race, it was time for her to finally come on the podcast.
1:09.1	And she was thrilled.
1:10.7	We made it happen.
1:12.2	And here it is. I'm Chris Chavez and you're listening to the CDSMAG podcast. Before we get to the interview, I want to tell you guys a bit about sore running, running performance that's made to move.
1:55.0	They are the presenting sponsor for the podcast this month, and now it's your turn to get familiar with one of the newest and finest
2:02.1	running apparel companies that is getting deep in the running culture scene. So Tim Soar
2:06.9	started the company based out of the UK, but you should expect to see them all around the U.S.
2:12.5	very soon. Every piece of clothing is tailored to the needs of the common runner like myself.
2:18.2	It's for everyone out there who pounds out the mileage and pushes for speed to get the best out of themselves.
2:24.3	Last week, I wore the elite speed shorts for a 12 by 400 meter workout with my team, and not only were the legs feeling good, the quads were looking good. They are my new
2:36.0	favorite half tights. And for as simple as they might look, they offer comfort and support unlike
