Episode 40 of The Final Sprint Podcast features my interview with running hero and 2004 Olympic marathon Silver medalist Meb Keflezighi; who is currently in London preparing for Sunday’s marathon.
Meb, who is currently in London preparing for Sunday’s marathon, captured the national 15k championship earlier this year, has won two Olympic marathon trials, finished second and then third the next year at the NYC Marathon, and, among his many other accomplishments, holds the American 10,000m record.
In the interview Meb talks about tomorrow’s London Marathon, his race strategy, trying to set a PR, the incredible field of competitors and what to expect from fellow Team Running USA member Ryan Hall in his debut.
Download the podcast to hear Meb discuss these topics, as well as, last week’s Boston Marathon; last year’s frustrating NYC Marathon; Coach Bob Larsen; the benefits of training with Deena Kastor, Hall and the rest of Team Running USA; looking forward to the 2008 Beijing Olympics; his family’s incredible journey from war-torn Eritrea; and much more!
