Episode 91 of TheFinalSprint.com Podcast is part of our continuing series of interviews with the top competitors running in the Nov. 3 U.S. Olympic Men’s Marathon Trials in New York City.

In this episode, I was proud to welcome back U.S. half-marathon and debut marathon record holder RYAN HALL.

In the interview, Ryan talks about preparing for the Olympic Marathon Trials, the keys to his success, racing strategy, potential dark horses, adjusting his training according to the lessons he learned from his 26.2m debut, and how his success amid such hot temperatures in London may help him in Beijing.

Download the podcast to hear Ryan discuss these topics, as well as, how his religious beliefs and the importance of forgiveness affect his view on Marion Jones, the current U.S. Olympic qualifying system, his thoughts on family and the birth of Dathan Ritzenhein’s first child, bible study groups in Mammoth, pacesetters, and much more!
