Episode 71 of TheFinalSprint.com Podcast features my interview with South African running legend HENDRICK RAMAALA.
Hendrick, the 2004 ING NYC Marathon Champion and a two-time IAAF World Half-Marathon silver medalist, finished 12th at last Sunday’s NYC Half-Marathon and is set to compete at the World Champs in Osaka and then return to NY on November 4th for the Marathon.
In the interview Hendrick talks about his 
disappointing performance at the NYC Half and the sleep issues he had leading up the race, having the chance to get to know and bond with American marathoner Peter Gilmore and his admiration for the NYRR.
Download the interview to hear Hendrick discuss these topics, as well as, being disappointed that the U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials will prevent America’s best from competing in the NYC Marathon his belief that Americans runners are just as talented and train just as hard as those from any other country (including African nations), why he feels he can continue to compete for another five years, and much more!
