And then I'll generally do four to six in the afternoon. I'll usually do my longer run in the morning. Then a long run on the weekends of anywhere from 20 to 24 miles. That comes out to generally 16 or 17 miles a day. Though she surprised even herself, Seidel says this “ability to push a little bit harder than the people around me” is something that started all the way back to fifth grade, when she ran a six minute mile, and helped carry her to multiple individual national championships at Notre Dame. What she was doing was running her way to an unexpected second place finish.
“When I realized I was out ahead, it was like, shit, shit, shit, what are you doing?” “I felt good-or as good as you can at mile 19 of your first marathon-everybody else slowed down on the hill, and I just kept going the same pace,” Seidel remembers. Then, as they raced up a hill, she and one other runner, Alphine Tuliamuk, separate from everyone else. But 19 miles into the race, Seidel finds herself tucked into the leading pack of runners. A difficult task, made even more challenging by the fact that it was her first ever marathon. But for now, she’ll savor this moment.When distance runner Molly Seidel lined up to race the Olympic marathon trials, she knew she’d have to finish in the top three to make it to Tokyo. She will, however, participate in the US Olympic Track & Field Trials in June at Hayward Field at the University of Oregon in the 10K. She didn’t expect to start training for an Olympic marathon so soon in her career, instead aiming for the 2024 Games in Paris. The last 24-48 hours, the last few months even, have been a whirlwind. Seidel will return to Boston to decompress before she receives information on when and where to begin training with the Olympic team. but from the bottom of my heart, I really hope it doesn’t affect the Games.” “I understand the gravity of the situation. “If USOC decides it’s not safe, we’ll obviously follow what they’re doing,” she said, “but if it comes down to it, I’ll race in a mask if I need to. The marathon was moved to Sapporo - a cooler region - due to extreme heat concerns, and now the coronavirus outbreak has spectators wondering if the Games will be cancelled.
There is uncertainty surrounding the 2020 Games. “The first time I had a Davis Square Donut, my coach brought some after a training session and I nearly cried because it was so good,” she said. Her favorite donuts, however, come from Union Square Donuts and Davis Square Donuts & Bagels in Somerville.
