Episode 68 of TheFinalSprint.com Podcast features my interview with American marathoner PETER GILMORE as he prepares for tomorrows NYC Half-Marathon presented by Nike.
(Note: TFS’s LIVE coverage of the race will begin at 7am EST!)
Tomorrow’s race, which will be Peters first since the Boston Marathon, will feature one of the most competitive professional fields in recent distance running history, including: 
Haile Gebrselassie (who has never been defeated at this distance), World Marathon Majors leader Robert K. Cheruiyot, Hendrick Ramaala, Abdi Abdirahman and Alan Culpepper.
In the interview Peter talks about his battle with the plantar fasciitis that he developed in Boston, what it will take to race against this field of legends, shaking off the rust from his nearly four-month abstention from racing, getting to know and learning from Hendrick Ramaala, and jokes about his streak as the “Top American Finisher”.
Download the podcast to hear Peter discuss these topics, as well as, his special relationship with and love for NYC, his summer and fall training regimens, preparing and strategizing for this fall’s U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials, and much more!
