Natosha Rogers discussed a few challenges she faced ahead of competing at the 2025 Chicago Marathon. In an interview on FloTrack, Rogers said: (0:59 onwards)

"We're definitely going to shoot for a PR on Sunday. 222 is what we told the Pacers. I mean, based off my training, that's even a little conservative. But I want to go out conservative. I've been struggling. My only biggest struggle is getting sick. So I've been vomiting. Not a great thing, but I know how to power through it if it does happen. And yeah, I'm just really hoping it doesn't. I'm going to try to not make mistakes out there. And other than that, I feel really good. I feel ready to go for 30 minutes."

"Yeah, it's horrible. The whole body goes lactic. It happened in Copenhagen. I was on pace to PR with 1k to go and I was passing all these people and then down the home stretch it started coming up and just the whole body goes lactic and you just have to run through it. It's not cute."

Aside from Natosha Rogers, other American women to compete at the Chicago Marathon include Rachele Popehn and Gabbi Rooker who finished in 7th and 9th place overall. Rogers earned $15,000 for finishing as the top American.
