For CJ Albertson, balancing being a dad and a coach/teacher at @Crush_Athletics with his marathon training can be challenging at times. But sometimes, he says he just has to accept being a "functional zombie." 😂 Albertson was the top American at the Chicago Marathon in seventh in 2:08:17. 🎥: flosports.link/4dQAjea #ChicagoMarathon

🗽 JUST ANNOUNCED: SHE’S BACK… Fresh off an Olympic bronze medal at the Paris Olympics, @hellen_obiri will return to the @nycmarathon to defend her title. She is looking to become the first woman to win back-to-back New York City Marathon titles since Mary Keitany’s threepeat from 2014-2016. 🇰🇪 She will be challenged by compatriot and 2022 NYC Marathon champion @shazrinee, who finished fourth at the Olympics. These two have now battled it out in New York, Boston and Paris. 👑 The field also features legends like Tirunesh Dibaba and Vivian Cheruiyot, who have won a combined 26 World and Olympic gold medals on the track and cross country between them. 🇺🇸 Dakotah Lindwurm leads the notable American contingent after her 2:26:44, 12th place finish in the Olympic marathon.
