“I wasn’t sure if I’d get back to even doing that, so that was good,” Huddle said. Even though that was well off the 1:07:25 PR she recorded while setting an American record in 2018, it was still an impressive effort. But then she had a big breakthrough when she ran 1:10:01 in Houston. Huddle began to gradually increase her training late last summer under the guidance of longtime coach Ray Treacy and ran a couple of moderately fast 10Ks and a half marathon last fall.

Olympian ran so well at the Houston Half Marathon on January 15, she’s optimistic about racing a late spring marathon.
