No hate for the Halls here, but I am slightly perplexed as to why Sara raced the US 10 mile championships 1 week after her 4 minute PR in the Berlin marathon. To top things off, I am even more concerned that she is racing the NYC marathon in just another 4 weeks. Is this a money grab?
I am just concerned that she is jeopardizing her chances for an Olympic spot with all of this racing in the span of 6 weeks. The main emphasis being Berlin and NYC within 6 weeks, but racing a national championship 1 week after Berlin only further compounds the problem of too much on her body at once in the last chapter of her career.
This is quite the antithesis of the approach to the racing calendar of Eliud Kipchoge. Any speculation or insider information?
I am hoping for the best, and hope she gets to experience what her husband has by qualifying for the Olympics in 2020!
