Cecil Harris of Mensracing.com, a member of the New York Road Runners (NYRR) family of websites, recently did an interview with four-time All-American and Olympic Marathon hopeful Matt Downin about the November 3 U.S. Olympic Men’s Marathon Trials in New York City and much more.
Here is an excerpt from the interview:
MensRacing.com: This may be unfair to ask, but if you don’t do as well at the Trials as you would like, would you second-guess yourself about not having a coach?
Matt Downin: No, not about that part. I would second-guess a lot of other things I did. Every athlete who doesn’t meet his expectations might second-guess his training and preparation whether he has a coach or not. I’m never going to look back and say that not having a coach was a mistake. I’m sure there will be people who say that’s a bad approach to take in sports, and they may be right, but it’s a decision I’ve made.
