Annie Frisbie says passing Sifan Hassan became a separate race inside New York City.

1. I'll Have Another with Lindsey Hein Podcast focuses on Annie Frisbie's fifth-place run at the 2025 New York City Marathon in 2:24:12. 2. Host Lindsey Hein talks with Annie Frisbie, an American marathoner from Wisconsin who trains with Minnesota Distance Elite and runs for Puma. 3. The episode asks how Frisbie managed New York City's course, pain, and competition to place fifth in a stacked women's field. 4. Frisbie says she stayed overnight in New York, went to the Fogo de Chao after party, and ate pizza with her parents, coach Chris Lundstrom, and Joel after the race. 5. She notes that Minnesota Distance Elite also had Elena Hayday in 12th and says the group had a strong day in New York. 6. Frisbie describes the marathon as a race of waves, with a calm first mile, faster stretches in the first half marathon, and recovery in between. 7. She says Queensborough Bridge is where she first really feels the race get hard because the course becomes quiet and she can hear herself think. 8. She explains that the noise and crowds immediately after the bridge gave her a jolt of energy for a few more miles. 9. Frisbie says the hardest running came in the last mile and two miles, especially when the route opened up before the turn back into Central Park. 10. She recounts hearing her name and Emily Sisson's at the half marathon mark, which reminded her that the chase pack was close behind. 11. Frisbie says Jess Warner-Judd caught her around mile 21 or 22, opened a gap, and then faded enough for Frisbie to repass her. 12. She says she saw Sifan Hassan ahead around mile 23 or 24 and chose to close the gap rather than back off. 13. Frisbie says she watched Hassan's line and took tangents whenever possible to try to make the pass count. 14. She describes the final mile as exposing because the streets were lined with spectators while she was visibly hurting and trying to hold position. 15. Frisbie says passing Sifan Hassan became a secondary race inside the marathon and gave her a target once the front pack was out of reach. 16. She says the finish tested whatever energy was left, but she never felt she had extra to spare at the end of any marathon. 17. The interview style is direct and conversational, with Lindsey Hein asking detailed follow-ups about the course, tactics, and mindset. 18. Frisbie's tone is reflective and practical, especially when she talks about visualization, mantras, and learning to stay confident under pressure. 19. People following American marathoners, New York City Marathon tactics, or Minnesota Distance Elite would likely enjoy this. 20. Listeners wanting celebrity-style gossip or non-racing content may skip this.
