Top American right now is Roberta Groner, in 6th at 35K. Here's the backstory of the 41-year-old who has a sub 2:30 marathon to her credit WorldAthleticsChamps
, such as four miles around 5:35 pace followed by two miles at 5:30, then two miles at 5:25. “A lot of it is running on tired legs, but progressively getting faster,” she said. Weekends might include a 15-mile progression run on Saturday, followed by an easy 22-miler on Sunday.New York City MarathonWith Groner’s packed schedule and this winter’s tough weather, many weeks didn’t go perfectly. Conditions even compelled her to step on a gymfor the first time in two years.
“I texted Steve and said, ‘I’m turning this into just an easy run. Let’s try to do the workout Friday,’” she said. It’s a common type of exchange in their relationship, which Magness describes as a trusting partnership in which he’s gently guiding. “She’s got a lot of experience; she has kids and a job and is doing all this other crazy stuff,” he told. “So she’s going to know her body and where her stress levels are better than I am.”In the months following New York, her training has come together, and both Groner and Magness felt confident she could run a sub-2:30 going into Rotterdam. The prospect excited her so much she’d switched her race plans late last year, forgoing Boston for Rotterdam’s faster course.
Groner aimed to start a bit conservatively and come through the half in about 1:15, a split she hit perfectly. “I felt great until about 38K,” she said, noting that her legs began to fatigue and her pace became labored in the final 5K. The temps had risen during the race, and they’d reach the low 60s by the finish. “I held it together, but it was a little bit harder.”
