22 marathons in, and she’s still a student of the sport.

Siobhan and I have spent the last 16 weeks training for Chicago, and one of our biggest focuses has been slowing her down.

This girl LOVES an 8:20–8:30 “easy” pace. 😂 I kept telling her, “I want to see more 9s.”

She got better about it, and we saw changes in her heart rate, but I still wondered: Are we actually going easy enough?

So instead of guessing, we booked a VO₂ max test with Dr. Dan at Troha Performance Mecicine.

The results were fascinating.

First of all, Siobhan is freaking FIT for 43 with a Vo2max of 53 ml/kg/min And surprisingly, her Garmin estimates and actual testing were pretty dang close.

But we learned two really valuable things:

Her easy days still weren’t quite easy enough. Based on testing, we want her at 155 bpm or below, which may mean running closer to the 9:30s at times.

And maybe even more valuable, we got data we can use to build her Chicago race-day strategy.

I’m a huge fan of negative splitting, and after looking at the testing alongside everything I already know about her, we landed on a starting pace that gives both of us confidence.

Because data is valuable, but it’s only one piece of coaching.

I know this athlete. I know her training. I know how she responds when things get hard.

Now we get to take everything we’ve learned over the last 16 weeks and put it together on race day.

Chicago, here we come.
