Working with her husband, who is a therapist, has helped her calm down during the taper and gear up for those gnarly hills in Paris
Like any high-level athlete, marathoner Emily Sisson feels the pressure before a big event. But she has a secret weapon, as she pointed out at the medal ceremony after placing second in 2:22:42 at the 2024 U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials: “I’m married to a therapist,” she said. “So he helps a lot with that stuff.”Sisson met Shane Quinn, a mental health counselor who’s working on his Ph.D.
When things get hard, he’s always there with a dose of humor and positivity. “Sometimes he just reminds me to keep my eyes on him and he will do all the pacing,” Sisson said. “Other times he will drop some words of encouragement,” often pointing out something that’s going well.One tactic he takes is to remind Sisson of the purpose of the workout and how it fits into the bigger picture. For example, when doing mile repeats, she often worries when she’s a few seconds behind the assigned pace.
