TFS Podcast 123: 2008 USA Half-Marathon Champion James Carney

Posted January 31st, 2008 at 10:50 AM by Adam Jacobs

Section: News & Results, Marathons, Track & Field, Olympics, Special Features, Interviews, Podcasts

Episode 123 of The Final Sprint Podcast features my interview with 2008 USA Half-Marathon Champion James Carney. In his half-marathon racing debut, the 10,000m Olympic hopeful held off a competitive field and earned the U.S. title with a winning time of 1:02:21.

In the interview, Carney talks about his bold, and ultimately successful strategy of taking out the Aramco Houston Half-Marathon right from the first mile and why he would choose such a strategy in his first 13.1 mile race. He also talks about the “frustration” of his 2:16:54 performance at the US Olympic Marathon Trials, another debut, his plans to run the 10,0000m in Eugene, what it will take to earn a spot on Team USA, and the competitors that may pose the greatest threat to his Olympic dreams.

Download the podcast to hear Carney discuss what he believes will ultimately be his best event by the end of his running career, being perceived as a perennial “underdog”, and much more!
