Olympic Marathon Trials

Episode 247: Laura Thweatt – 2:25 Marathoner & 5th place at the Olympic Marathon Trials

Lindsey Hein — Tue, 05 May 2020 14:03:44 +0000

Laura Thweatt, a 2:25 marathoner recently placed 5th at the Olympic Marathon Trials in Atlanta. Though the goal was to make the team and place top three at the trials, there was a lot to be said about Laura’s 5th place finish and in a big way that day, she resurrected her marathon career after a long battle with injury.

Laura raced fiercely and bravely in February at the trials and laid it all out there. It was so fun to see her race with so much confidence and if you weren’t a fan before I don’t see how you won’t be after hearing this conversation. On top of being an insanely talented and driven runner, she is really fun!

Laura lives in Boulder, Co and trains with Joe Bosshard’s group. In this conversation we get to hear about what it’s like to be the only marathoner in that group and why she chose to train with them. We also get to hear about how different her training is now compared to what she used to do and what the trials race meant to her. Laura and I also might just get into a little “Love is Blind” talk as well at the end of the conversation, because a girl just can’t help herself when she finds out the person she is interviewing is invested in trash TV like she is.

Enjoy my conversation with Laura!

Jordan Hasay returns to the podcast for a third time! I have been wanting to talk with Jordan since the fall and am excited to have finally had the opportunity to talk with her. Many would have said she was a favorite going into the Olympic Trials Marathon if she was healthy and ready to race but she walked away finishing 26th. You’ll hear about what happened during the trails, how she felt and how she’s feeling post race. We also talk a little bit about how she’s been feeling since the separation from her long term coach Alberto Salalzar and how it’s been working with her new coach, Paula Radcliffe.

Make sure you listen to the first two times she was on the show- episode 128 and episode 179.

Lindsey Hein — Sun, 08 Mar 2020 15:53:45 +0000

Aliphine Tuliamak won the 2020 Olympic Marathon Trials in a strong race where she and Molly Siedel pulled away from a huge pack of women that stayed together for the majority of the race. Aliphine ran a time of 2:27:23, 8 seconds in front of second place finisher Molly Siedel who she worked together with over the last few miles to solidify their spots on team USA for the 2020 Olympics in Tokoyo.

This will be Aliphine’s third time on my show- so make sure you go back and listen to episode 165 where you’ll get an introduction to Aliphine and also I had the opportunity to speak with her and her teammates Steph Bruce and Kellyn Taylor two days before this race in episode 229– check that one out too! You can also see the full video of that episode on my youtube channel but if you watch or listen to nothing else, watch this short clip from before the race!

Aliphine runs for Northern Arizona Elite. She grew up in Kenya where she would run to and from school everyday and came to the United States for college where she ran for Iowa and Witchita State.

Aliphine became in American Citizen in 2016 and went to win the USATF 25K, 5K and 20K titles – only to do it again in 2017 when she won four USATF titles in cross country, 25K, 10K and 7 miles. She has a half marathon PR of 1:09:49 and marathon PR of 2:26:50.

Episode 228: Sally Kipyego

Lindsey Hein — Mon, 24 Feb 2020 20:38:55 +0000

Sally Kipyego is one to be watching in Atlanta this weekend for the Olympic Marathon Trials! She is fit and ready to compete. Coming off a stellar fall marathon in Berlin where she ran a 2:25, which was a three minute PR. It is exciting to think about what she can do coming off that cycle into this one coming off a trying couple of years post partum and battling some sickness. It feels even more exciting thinking about how fresh her legs may be and how determined her spirit is after the long road back.

Sally is originally from Kenya and came to the US for college where she competed for Texas Tech where she won 9 NCAA titles (3 consecutive in cross country, outdoor 10k + 5k, and indoor 3k and 5k (3 consecutive titles). She then went on to run professionally for Nike with the Oregon Track Club. She holds a silver medal in the World championships in the 10k to Kenyan and went on to win an Olympic silver medal for Kenya the following year in the 10,000m.

Sally debuted the marathon in NYC in 2016, finishing second to Mary Keitany, ahead of third place Molly Huddle. She ran a time of 2:28 and later found out she was 8 weeks pregnant during that marathon. In 2017 she gave birth to her daughter Emma and battled with some major post partum struggles coming back, as well as a bout with Malaria and Pnemonia.

She finally has found her strength back and raced super well this past fall and I can’t wait to see what she can accomplish at the trials this weekend. So much on the horizon for Sally and if you aren’t already following her career- get on it!!

I’ll Have Another Podcast Episode 58: Teal Burrell

Teal is a competitive runner who went from a 4 hour marathon to a 2:42 marathon. Her 2:42 qualified her for the Olympic Marathon Trials, which was her big goal and she ran in the trials in February 2016 on a very hot day. This did not happen over night- she worked really hard for several years an ran several marathons to achieve this goal. Not all of those marathons were PRs or amazing races, but she kept working at it and made it happen.

Teal has her Doctorate in Neuropsychology. Girlfriend completed 9 years of undergrad + grad school. Clearly we have a high achiever on our hands. She’s a freelance writer and writes both about running stuff and science stuff. She lives in Richmond VA with her husband and their brand new baby girl Maya! Teal was just a couple days away from her due date when we recorded this episode, so lot’s has changed in her world since then!

In this episode we talk all about her journey to getting to that 2:42 marathon, I had so may questions for her that just came flying out. I could have picked her brain about running stuff for hours. I have so much respect for her discipline, hard work and fearlessness of not only setting a big goal, but putting it out there for the world to see and going for it. We also talk about her career, favorite books and more. Such a fun conversation!

Congrats on the baby girl Teal!
