āAfter Berlin, I came home thinking I have a chance to make this team. Iām a stats guy, Iām a realist, itās not this astronomically high chance ā but I have a chance againā¦ I have some of the best training partners in the nation and I have the pieces I think that I need now. So it's a fun opportunity.ā
My guest for todayās episode is 2016 U.S. Olympian Jared Ward, who just ran 2:11:44 at the Berlin Marathon. Itās been a while since Jared joined us on the show but heās back to recap that race and how he somehow ended up in a tight battle with Ethiopiaās Tigist Assefa, who ended up breaking the womenās world record in 2:11:53. He also shares some of his thoughts on training partners Conner Mantz and Clayton Youngās big performances in Chicago. Plus, Ward gives us an update regarding some discussion about the U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials.Ā
Last week, several of the top U.S. marathoners met with USATF CEO Max Siegel and other members of USATFās team to discuss the noon start time for the 2024 U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials in Orlando. A letter was sent to the national office on Sept. 15 and was signed by 84 athletes. Jared was among the athletes spearheading the conversation to voice concern over the midday heat in Orlando.
