She'll be using this event as part of her build-up to the Olympic Marathon in Sapporo on August 7, and thinks it fits perfectly into the training plan she and coach Jon Green have devised.
Speed is what Seidel will be after in Atlanta. She added: "I've had a lot of exposure to race tracks because my dad and my brother race cars semi-professionally. "When the race opportunity came up in Atlanta we immediately jumped on that," Seidel told Race Results Weekly. Seidel said she's never actually run on a racetrack, but she's very excited by the concept. The race, part of Atlanta's Marathon Weekend organized by the Atlanta Track Club, was moved from the streets of the city a year ago to the racetrack grounds in order to offer athletes of all abilities a COVID-safe, in-person running competition. Seidel, 26, will be returning to Atlanta on February 28, where she will run a special edition of the Atlanta Half-Marathon which will be held at the sprawling Atlanta Motor Speedway, partly on the facility's 1.5-mile race track. "This thing goes fast," she said of her car.

(19-Feb) - Gripping the steering wheel of her Audi Allroad while driving on an Arizona highway three days ago, Molly Seidel spoke breezily on her cell phone about what it's like to go fast.
