Episode 96 of The Final Sprint Podcast features my pre-U.S. Olympic Men’s Marathon Trials interview with 2004 Olympic silver medalist MEB KEFLEZIGHI.
After nearly 20 years on U.S. soil, Meb remains focused on realizing his dreams through faith, hard work, a unique appreciation for life and having the utmost respect for his competitors.
In the interview, Meb talks about taking one day a time, the 20 year anniversary of when his family came to America from war-torn Eritrea, overcoming his recent calf ailment and staying confident despite a rough year of health concerns and bad luck.
Download the podcast to hear Meb discuss these topics, as well as, his race strategy and preparation for the arduous Marathon Trials race course, lessons learned from his 2004 second place finish, his reputation for having a “reserved personality”, pacesetters, advice for young Olympic hopefuls, and much more!
