Section: Special Features, Interviews, Podcasts
Today’s edition of The Final Sprint Podcast features my interview with Alan Webb, the young star who broke Jim Ryun’s 36-year old national high school record in the mile in 2001.
After kicking off this season with big wins in NY and Boston, it looks like Alan has really bounced back from the rough few months he experienced at the end of 2006. However, he will still have his work cut out for him at the upcoming Millrose Games and Tyson Foods Invitational, where he’ll be up against many of the world’s best, including Craig Mottram and Bernard Legat.
In the interview, Alan discusses his latest victories, how he stacks up in the upcoming races, plans to win an Olympic medal, and is asked: “Who is the most talented runner from the incredible H.S. class of 2001: Ryan Hall, Dathan Ritzenhein or yourself?”
Download the podcast to hear Alan speak about those topics, how he feels when he is compared to Steve Prefontaine and much more!
