“Age is just a number” when it comes to the annals of track and field; this quote is apt for a running legend who is 40 years old. In a society where athletics is often associated with youth, Sara Hall  stands as a beacon of inspiration as the USA’s track and field legend has been consistently in elite circles for the 21st century. 

In addition to this, she was a mainstay at the 2004 U.S. Olympic Trials. Since then, she has been competing in each and every event, from the 1500m race to the marathon at the trials. Currently, she is making headlines again as she is keeping all her eyes on the upcoming 2024 Olympics Marathon Trials. 

Beyond the Finish Line

Recently, Sara Hall announced the ecstatic news that she would soon be participating in her eighth Olympic Trials. To share this moment with track and field spectators, Citius Mag took to their Twitter account and posted a couple of pictures of Sara Hall with a positive message to appreciate the 40-year-old athlete’s unwavering determination. They penned, “A moment of appreciation for the longevity of @SaraHall3 At 40 years old, she will be competing in her EIGHTH U.S. Olympic Trials.“

Despite having a major challenge that may restrict athletes from performing well, Sara Hall has always succeeded in accomplishing the highest milestone in her life. In a recent instagram post, Sara penned, “It took a whole year of inconsistency and rebuilding to finally get consistency- just in time for this Olympic Trials buildup. For the first time since doing this sport I had a year in there with more days I couldn’t run than could. Always fires to put out in marathon training but thankful to hit 5 months without missing a day of running.“

Consequently, Sara Hall moved ahead by improving her previously set records. She has been working for the last five months without missing one day of running to make this year a win. But what is Sara Hall preparing for?
