When organizers of the TCS New York City Marathon have their eyes on an elite runner they want to run their race, theyll often use what some have called the Seduction Ride. Riding along in one of the pace vehicles, the coveted athlete gets to experience all of the excitement of the five-borough run, with none of the attendant physical effort, and usually commits to debut at New York the following year. Molly Huddle, the pre-eminent American distance runner on the track, has taken that ride twice as the elite athlete recruiters have targeted her almost since the London Olympics ended four years ago.On Sunday morning, that long courtship will come to fruition when Huddle, the American record holder of the 10,000 meters on the track, toes the start line in Fort Wadsworth on Staten Island, and finally tackles her first marathon.Related story from Competitor.com: How to watch the NYC MarathonRelated story from Competitor.com: 45 reasons we love the NYC MarathonHuddle is no stranger to the streets of the Big Apple, having won the United New York City Half Marathon the past two years-her most recent 1:07:41 win set an American record for a womens-only race by more than 50 seconds-and having raced there 15 other times. And while most might consider her métier to be on the synthetic oval, based on her 30:13.17 American record set this summer at the Rio Olympic Games shes equally adept on the roads, having won seven U.S. titles on the macadam at distances from 5K to 20K.Ive raced well on the roads, and on the roads in New York, Huddle said. I think I can handle that hilly, potholed, cross-country type course. Thats what a lot of people say is the challenge of New York. I think the 26.2 distance is whats going to be the shocker.Its impossible to predict what Huddle can run in her debut marathon, but her background and fitness suggest shes probably capable of running in the 2:22 to 2:26 range if all goes well.(The fastest debut marathon by an American woman is 2:25:53, set by Kara Goucher in New York in 2008.) But the marathon is a different beast, especially at the elite level, and many variables can swing the outcome. Plus, Huddles buildup for her debut had to be somewhat shoehorned into the relatively short time between the Olympics and New York.Click here to read the full story from Competitor.com.

LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Chicago Bears wide receiver Kevin White?was placed on injured reserve after he suffered a severe high ankle sprain that resulted in a fractured fibula in his left leg.The Bears have not ruled out the possibility that White will undergo surgery, but the team is currently exploring all options before making a final determination,?general manager Ryan Pace said Wednesday.White, the seventh overall pick of the 2015 NFL draft, sat out his entire rookie season due to a stress fracture in his left shin. At the time of that injury, White had a steel rod inserted into his tibia to stabilize the left leg.Bears coach John Fox said he believes White can still have a productive career and pointed to Demaryius Thomas as an example of a player who didnt take off until his third year in the NFL.I go back to even my experience in Denver with Demaryius Thomas. He probably didnt do a whole lot until Year 3, Fox said. So he had setbacks and he was injured coming out of college. He had an Achilles injury after that and a finger injury after that and he had two surgeries in his first year and a half of NFL football. Hes turned out pretty good.Whites latest seetback occurred last Sunday when he left the Bears 17-14 victory over the Detroit Lions in the third quarter following a 1-yard completion.dddddddddddd. White limped back to the sideline and eventually went to the locker room. White was in considerable pain in the postgame locker room, and he underwent a preliminary MRI on Monday.The timing of the injury is particularly unfortunate. After a slow start to the season, White played with increased confidence in recent weeks, leading the team in receptions (19). White is also third in receiving yards (187).I thought it was by far his best game [in Week 4], Fox said Monday. I think he was real aggressive. I think he caught some contested balls. I think after the catch I felt he was aggressive to get extra yards after the catch. I thought it was his best performance.I think when youre not thinking and you kind of know what youre doing, you just cut loose and play, which is ideally what you want guys to do. I think it comes with that experience.White is eligible to return in eight weeks. ' ' '
