Episode 126 of TheFinalSprint.com Podcast, the most listened to running podcast in North America, features my interview with U.S. Olympic hopeful Jon Rankin as he prepares for next weekend’s USA Cross Country Championships.
Rankin, who ran two early season races in Bermuda and California, overcame injuries to finish strong in 2007, continues to stay healthy, and reports great, injury-free results throughout his recent training.
In the interview Rankin talks about his early season travels, his pursuit of at least a top ten finish at the XC Champs, how he enjoys training for and racing these longer distances, and that down the road he may even pursue such events up to the marathon.
Download the podcast to hear Rankin discuss these topics, as well as his success with Hypocxico’s altitude tent and being able to “Train High, Live Low” without ever leaving San Diego, his new charity organization “Shoes 4 the Soul”, and his responses to TFS’s newest podcast segment: “Rapid Fire Questions”.
