Episode 111 of The Final Sprint Podcast, the most listened to running podcast in North America, features my interview with The Final Sprint Senior Writer PAUL PETERSEN who recently qualified for and competed in his first ever U.S. Olympic Men’s Marathon Trials. He finished 53rd, surpassing his goal of finishing in the top 60.
In the interview, Petersen talks about the training that helped him earn the right to compete in the trials, the experience of going head-to-head with the best in America, his future goals, the challenges faced by athletes who don’t have sponsors, and his running heroes.
Download the podcast to hear Petersen discuss these topics, as well as, what he thinks of the new, stricter standards for the 2012 trials, the gear he uses to help him reach his goals and much more!
