Shalane Flanagan hasn’t thought beyond November 5th. In less than two weeks, she will return to the New York City Marathon for her 10th career marathon and first since the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. A back injury suffered while training through, kept Flanagan from running April’s Boston Marathon, but she returned to competition in the summer. (Sports Illustrated)
