Episode 78 of The Final Sprint Podcast features my interview with Olympic 3000m steeplechase hopeful, former University of Nebraska star and steeplechics.com developer ANN GAFFIGAN.

In the interview, Ann talks about her current health, overcoming nagging injuries, the “relief” of not competing at the USA Outdoor Track & Field Championships because she knew she was unable to give her best efforts, and cutting her weekly mileage from 100 to about 55 to get back on track.

Download the podcast to hear Ann discuss these topics, as well as, thoughts of competing in the marathon, the need for more, post-collegiate track & field running groups, admiring the success of her fellow, American female steeplers, and much more!
