Episode 117 of The Final Sprint Podcast, the most listened to running podcast in North America, features my interview with American steeplechaser and Team Running USA member JACQUES SALLBERG.

After being ranked fourth in U.S. for the 3000m steeplechase by Track & Field News at the end of 2006, Jacques struggled with injuries throughout 2007. However, he is now headed back on track and focused on earning the right to represent the U.S. in the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing.

In the interview Jacques talks about his battle with heel spurs and plantar fasciitis, trying to get back to the success and P.R. performances of 2006, and working towards a spot on the U.S. Olympic Team.

Download the podcast to hear Jacques discuss these topics, as well as, his special relationship with Coach Bob Larsen, how their different personalities have created an advantageous dynamic, Team Running USA, his work as a high school track & field coach, and much more!
