In Episode 134 of TheFinalSprint.com Podcast, the most listened to running podcast in North America, I am joined by U.S. marathon runner Peter Gilmore. Gilmore, who is sponsored by MarathonGuide.com and Enlyten Sports Strips, will hop the pond to London for the first time this Sunday where he’ll face many of the world’s top marathoners on his quest to break 2:10 and set a new PR.

In the interview Gilmore talks about his goals for Sunday, choosing London over Boston, the world-class competition, Ryan Hall, running one of his first international races, and adjusting to a new course.

Download the podcast to hear Gilmore discuss these topics, as well as, his health since the U.S. Olympic Men’s Marathon Trials, whether that race haunts or motivates him, the definition of a “blue collar runner”, why he does not plan to run the 10k at the U.S. Olympic Track & Field Trials and much more!
