I’ve been following Marathon since the late 70s when 2:30 was considered unattainable and 2:14:05 would have been an awesome winning time for a man.
Top U.S. women in the marathon in 2019
It wouldn’t surprised me at all if it takes a sub 2:25 to make the U.S. women’s team. I actually think the U.S. men’s Olympic spots are a bit more wide open (especially if Rupp is hurt AGAIN).
Honestly, I’m surprised this many American elites did Chicago. The marathon Olympic trials are in late February. Assuming training goes well, they would probably need around 16 weeks to properly build up for it. That’s not a lot of time after this.
