Ashley Mateo is a journalist, editor and running coach who publishes The Rundown newsletter.

In her recap of the 2023 New York City Marathon, Mateo described returning for a sixth appearance and running the course with a friend. The account discusses an early start, being passed by the professional fields and finishing together. It also references a recent St. George Marathon, supporting repeated marathon experience without supplying an exact finish time to import for either race. [2]
