Peres Jepchirchir crossed the line at the 2021 New York City Marathon on top of the world. Her victory capped off an unprecedented three month stretch—in August, she won the gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics in the marathon on a hot day. Then on November 7, she almost took down the course record set by Margaret Okayo in New York.“The emotions are what I remember most about the race,” Jepchirchir, 30, said to Runner’s World over email.
“I lean on my family to motivate me through the toughest days of training, and so it is nice to have him there with me during the process,” she says.On October 1, Jepchirchir ran her first race since London: a half marathon at the World Athletics Road Running Championships in Riga, Latvia. This time, she summoned a powering finishing kick to beat her compatriot Margaret Chelimo Kipkemboi by one second in 1:07:25. Jepchirchir is no slouch over 13.
