2:20:49. American course record. 5th overall.
Going into @bostonmarathon my mantra was āthis is the fun part.ā By āthisā I meant all of itāthe @brooksrunning shakeouts, the meet & greets, shared meals with fellow athletes, dinners with my family, runs along the Charles, hanging with the BAA team, the bus ride to Hopkinton with Connor, warming up with Amanda & SusannaāI really wanted to live in each moment without thinking about the next one.
But of course, the nerves hit. You want your race to go well after pouring everything into the ~14-week build. You think about your coach who spent so much time on your training, your loved ones who traveled to cheer, those watching at home & those who got you to the starting line healthy.
You get nervous because you know you have to get to mile 20 knowing the race doesnāt even start until then & itās probably going to hurt⦠bad. š
But the gun goes off & somehow all of these thoughts melt away. Your body knows what to do & itās really just you vs. you.
Iāve spent a lot of time these last few years learning to love living in my own head. I used to hate it in there & how I used to talk to myself when things got hard. Now I embrace the parts of training & racing where I get to test myself & see whatās on the other side of discomfort. Being curious keeps it fun.
This is the least amount of āwhat ifsā Iāve had digesting a race. There are definitely a few when you can see the podium finishing just ahead of you on Bolyston, but knowing thereās more leaning in to do makes me really excited for whatās to come.
I canāt thank the BAA team enough for the amazing hospitality & making Boston feel like home.
Thank you to my coaches (@mountainroche / @drmeganroche) who made it all the way out to Boston!
Thank you to Brooks for bringing our team & all runners together.
Thank you to George (@set4go_llc) for helping me feel rock solid out there & always!
Thank you to @xendurance, @garminrunning, @wahoofitnessofficial & @ustrackfieldfdn for the additional support.
Last but not leastāthank you to my amazing family & friends (@nessafraser!) who make this so fun.
THANK YOU, BOSTON! šš

Itās not over ātil itās over. @nycmarathon š„š¤
Had to tell myself this more than times than usual yesterday. It wasnāt a day where I felt perfect, but it didnāt need to be.
@mountainroche and I had a pre-race call before I left for NYC and his advice was ājust be Jess.ā I donāt think he knew that something so simple could give me so much confidence.
There was no over-engineering or overanalyzing anything. I stacked a lot of imperfect, grindy bricks at altitude and in the AZ heat this summer.
The workouts that I thought were pretty āmehā or a ācheck the box/get it doneā type days ended up being the ones that David said made me better, not the workouts where most splits/reps/things went to plan.
All that was left to do was get to NYC healthy, enjoy it all, take whatever the race had to throw at me, and ājust be Jessā through all five boroughs.
⢠⢠ā¢
I sent David a DM two years ago after the NYC Marathon after being a fan of him, Megan, and the pod for quite sometime. He was so gracious with his time and lent an ear when I needed it the most.
I told him I wanted to get better, but keep it fun. I donāt think a lot of coaches would care about that second part as much as the first. But he did.
It has been a very fun two years of working together and discovering my best self. I owe a lot of this to him. So @mountainroche⦠just keep being you, too!
Thank you to the @nyrr team (Dorian, Sam, Christine, everyone!) for taking a chance on us and making NYC feel like home.
The @brooksrunning fam helped us share our unique journeys to NYC. The love at Brooks runs so deep and I feel so lucky.
Thanks to Connor, my Dad, and my besties for making me feel like I can full send it and they would still love me even if it all went sideways.
& thanks to @set4go_llc for getting me to every start line healthy the last 4 years.
Congrats to @sheilachepkiruiken & @hellenobiri⦠thank you for getting the best out of us all yesterday.
Canāt say thank you enough for all the sweet messages I have received. Down bad crying on the plane reading through them all. I love this sport so much!
Left it all on the field on my way to a WMM podium!! š

Yesterday was a historic day for Jess McClain (@jesstonn)!
The 34-year-old finished second at the @nycmarathon in 2:24:42, becoming the first American woman on the podium in eight years.
After a tough first 18 miles, McClain stayed in the lead pack and made her move through Central Park. She was joined on the podium with @sheilachepkiruiken and @hellenobiri.
An impressive Sunday by all!
