Des vestiaires de lʹéquipe suisse de hockey sur glace jusque dans les oreilles du coureur de fond éthiopien Haile Gebrselassie, la musique agit comme un vrai booster de performance sportive.

This show isn't often one for big announcements. But today we park the trivialities. There's not a mention of word games or credit scores in sight. For another obsession is about to take over the life of Johnny JR. It's big. And it could complete his transformation from movement cynic to the Haile Gebrselassie of rural Bucks*.And Producer Dave is simply rubbing his hands together at the prospect of 11 months of ready baked content.Oh we're busy bees today, because there's also time to dip into CVs of the past where Elis simply isn't willing to accept John's stock management claims.There's also some fantastic emails that shine a light on the British economy's productivity problem. AND can under pressure Elis reverse his relegation form in the Cymru Connection?If you've got anything to contribute to our chocolate box of nonsense then get it to elisandjohn@bbc.co.uk or WhatsApp us on 07974 293 022.*(Well depending on whether Dave's contact pulls it out of the bag. Otherwise we're back to square one).
Sean, Cal and Katie speak with an East Cheshire Harrier who has travelled the world doing marathons, with one coming up very soon. With PBs for 5k in 19:02, 10k in 38:36, half in 82:00, marathon in 2:54:38. Andy talks about Daddies Escape and how they were perfect for his situation as well as how grateful he is of their time. He also shares the story of his daughter Pixie Belle. He has done many marathons and gives his verdict on why he loves doing it. He also gives the verdict on the best and worst marathons. This episode is in collaboration with Pace Coffee, a coffee for runners who love drinking coffee, and comes out of a longstanding friendship with Haile Gebrselassie, Ethiopia's double Olympic champion and multi-world record holder, who owns a coffee farm in south-western Ethiopia. Pace Coffee has been created by three British runners who want other runners to enjoy some of Ethiopia's finest coffees and to connect people with Ethiopia, the land of great distance runners and the motherland of arabica coffee.

Ole Anders har klippekort i Løpeskopodden denne våren og er tilbake i studio for å snakke om Adidas Road to Records, hvor han møtte produktfolk, toppløpere, og levende legender. Men først en omvei innom Ecotrail og Birkebeinerløpet. Tor har nemlig gjort comeback på startstreken, og har løpt sitt første løp med drikkevest etter å ha snublet over Ecotrails løpsleder Marit Karlsen en sen ettermiddag. På beina i lange 21 km var Adidas Agravic Speed Ultra, og Tor skylder hverken på sko eller utstyr når det gjelder sluttiden. Som for øvrig ikke nevnes. Det sagt, så vant han både klassen sin og dessuten et spurtoppgjør med vinneren av dame 50-klassen. På Road to Records samles noen av verdens raskeste idrettsutøvere på Adidas campus i Tyskland med ambisjoner om å slå personlige rekorder på 5 og 10 km. Foruten å løpe fort og se andre løper fortere i Adidas Adizero Takumi Sen 10, har Ole Anders fått innsikt i hvordan utøverne tester sko, og fått en prat med Haile Gebrselassie!
Wir starten unglaublich dankbar und auch ein wenig stolz in BESTZEIT Podcast-Episode #211, denn inzwischen haben wir die 2-Millionen-Marke gehörter Folgen durchbrochen und es kommt zwar nicht häufig vor - aber das macht uns ein kleines bisschen sprachlos. Es liegt eine actiongeladene Woche hinter uns, die für Philipp in Herzogenaurach bei adidas anlässlich des großen „Road to Record“ Events begann. Dort durfte einmal mehr als Host fungieren und unter anderem Laufstars wie Peres Jepchirchir, Joan Chelimo and the one and only Haile Gebrselassie vor Livepublikum interviewen. Von dort ging es dann freitags direkt noch weiter an den Flughafen und dann zu Ralf nach Hamburg. Der war dort schon seit Mitte der Woche vor Ort um auf den Marathon-PKs letzte Infos einzuholen und Vorgespräche mit Athletinnen & Athleten zu führen um so bestens vorbereitet gemeinsam mit Philipp am Sonntag, nun schon zum zweiten Mal, den Marathon-Livestream zu gestalten. Die beiden haben dafür quasi freie Hand und produzieren Behind-the-Scenes-Material, moderieren und kommentieren das Rennen nach den eigenen Vorstellungen einer modernen Marathonübertragung. Wer das Ganze noch im Nachgang sehen möchte, dem empfehlen wir das Re-Live des Streams, dass es nach wie vor auf YouTube gibt - einen Link dazu findet ihr in unseren Shownotes. Das Rennen selbst hatte einmal mehr alles was ein Marathon bieten kann: Action, Drama, Spannung & Freude - reinschauen lohnt sich also auch jetzt noch unbedingt!
In this episode, we delve into the remarkable journey of Haile Gebrselassie, one of the greatest long-distance runners of all time. From humble beginnings in rural Ethiopia to conquering the world stage, Gebrselassie's story is one of perseverance, dedication, and sheer talent. We explore his early struggles, including running barefoot to school, and how he discovered his passion for running. With unparalleled determination, Gebrselassie rose to prominence, breaking world records and dominating the track. But Gebrselassie's impact extends far beyond his athletic achievements. As a philanthropist and advocate for education, he has worked tirelessly to improve the lives of children in Ethiopia, building schools and providing opportunities for underprivileged youth. Join us as we celebrate the legacy of Haile Gebrselassie, a true inspiration on and off the track, whose story continues to inspire millions around the world.

My guest for this episode is Jos Hermens. He is the founder of Global Sports Communication and the NN Running team. We recorded this episode back in April when I made a trip to Rotterdam to host the team's 5th anniversary. When they started in 2017, they announced themselves as “the first professional running team” with stars like Eliud Kipchoge and Kenenisa Bekele as the faces of the team. They've also made major strides by bringing in other major sponsors to back the team. We dive into the business side of the team, how Jos transitioned from an Olympian to an agent, what he'd like to see changed within the sport, his obsession with breaking records, stories working with Kipchoge, Bekele and Haile Gebrselassie, plus much more.

Revenge is a dish best served cold or with a side of mushrooms. Listener Nikki suggested we talk about the 1999 teen classic, 'Cruel Intentions' and compare it to the brand new release from Netflix, 'Do Revenge'. We're coming out from hiding under the table, as the spiders are finally going away, to discuss these rich kid revenge stories. We couldn't say no when we realized that Sarah Michelle Gellar couldn't say no and was in both projects. Somebody is going to pay for the things we say in this show. Let's just hope that we don't end up the same way as Sebastian and try and stop a speeding car with our face. Join us this week as we meander through the past, finding out about Joel's love of #BronskiBeat old #Nickelodeon GaS, the Pet Shop Boys with Dusty Springfield and of course Haile Gebrselassie. We add another #Revenge movie show, to go on the wall with our #Heathers vs #MeanGirls show! #dorevenge #CruelIntentions You can now find us on the Fountain Podcast app on Apple and Android!
Es ist eine Premiere und Ralf & Philipp waren schon Wochen vorher voller Vorfreude auf dieses Event: Das erste Mal BESTZEIT Podcast live vor Publikum! In einer exklusiven Runde im Frankfurter Laufshop mit den im Vorfeld verlosten Plätzen war es schön einige von euch Hörer:innen so auch endlich mal persönlich kennenzulernen. Wir hatten mit Hausherr und Inhaber Jost Wiebelhaus und Udo Müller, dem Leiter des adidas Archivs in Herzogenaurach, tolle Gesprächspartner und zum Finale der Sendung auch die Möglichkeit spannende Fragen aus dem Publikum vor Ort, sowie den Zuschauer:innen des YouTube-Livestreams aufzugreifen. Es ging um Ikonen der Laufgeschichte wie Emil Zátopek, Grete Waitz oder Haile Gebrselassie, Anekdoten & Geschichten zu ihren Karrieren & Erfolgen und natürlich auch um die Schuhe, die sie zu ihren aktiven Zeiten zur Verfügung hatten. Die Laufschuhentwicklung damals wie heute, den Antrieb Adi Dasslers Athleten:innen nur das Beste an Material zur Verfügung stellen zu wollen, wie das bis heute die DNA von adidas prägt und noch einiges mehr. Wer uns diesmal nicht nur hören sondern auch sehen möchte und am Mittwochabend keine Zeit hatte, hat jetzt trotzdem noch die Möglichkeit das Re-Live-Feeling zu bekommen in dem ihr die Aufzeichnung des Livestreams auf YouTube anschaut. Den Link haben wir wie immer in die Shownotes gepackt und verbleiben mit dem Teaser, dass es auch ein paar echte Schätze aus Herzogenaurach nach Frankfurt geschafft haben.
Bei Philipp gibt's gerade ne Menge Stress und das Training fällt dementsprechend schwer. Fluffig ist da aktuell nichts. Umso größer ist einmal mehr sein Respekt für all diejenigen die sonst tagtäglich Familie, Beruf und Sport jonglieren. Auch Ralf hat anstrengende Tage hinter bzw. demnächst auch wieder vor sich, denn nächste Woche geht sein Flieger zur WM in Eugene. Was da aktuell noch Testtickets kosten im legendären Hayward Field hat beiden die Sprache verschlagen und wirft einmal mehr die Frage auf wer sich sowas noch leisten kann? Sportliche Highlights stehen dort zweifellos an, die kann man aber natürlich auch ganz entspannt von zuhause aus verfolgen. Ralf wird vor Ort dafür sorgen, dass wir da bestens im Bilde sind. Neben dem Leichtathletik-Highlight-Sommer mit WM und EM werfen aber auch schon die Straßenlauf-Saison erste Schatten voraus. Haile Gebrselassie steht tatsächlich wieder auf einer Startliste. Wo das ist und was es damit auf sich hat wird natürlich genauso besprochen wie das atemberaubende Frauenfeld des London Marathons, dass diese Woche bekanntgegeben wurde. Außerdem wird natürlich auch nochmal ein Blick zurückgeworfen auf die Challenge Roth, wo sowohl bekannte Namen wie junge Gesichter gewonnen haben, Champs nach schweren Verletzungen Comebacks feiern konnten und unerwartete Niederlagen einstecken mussten.
Nel 2019 il primo ministro Abiy Ahmed che vince il premio Nobel per la pace, ora il grande campione del mezzofondo Haile Gebrselassie pronto addirittura a partire per il fronte, pur di difendere il governo di Ahmed in una escalation sempre più vicina alla guerra civile. Cosa sta accadendo in Etiopia? Proviamo a capirlo oggi a Olympia, visto che ancora una volta sport e politica vanno drammaticamente a braccetto, anche nel martoriato corno d'Africa. Ospiti di Dario Ricci il professor Giovanni Carbone, responsabile del programma Africa di Ispi e docente di Scienze Politiche all'Università di Milano, e l'inviato de La Gazzetta dello Sport Andrea Buongiovanni la regia della puntata è a cura di Paolo Corleoni olympia@radio24.it

In this episode we review 'The Running Book' by John Connell. Char is joined by Bookhounds Pack member Toby Fells to chat epic runs and colonial Ireland, to argue whether running is in the body or the mind and to plan an impromptu New Year's Eve adventure. About the book: In 'The Running Book' John Connell vividly describes a marathon through County Longford, Ireland, where he lives and farms. Because running is as much about the mind as the body, the book is about more than the physical experience. What John sees on his journey prompts him to contemplate a wide range of things: he's as likely to think about local Irish history, the legacy of colonialism in Australia or the story of Haile Gebrselassie as he is to remember his own past runs in Arizona or Ibiza. After a mental health crisis, John found the simple act of putting one foot in front of another helped him to regain his sense of self and better appreciate the world around him. At its core, The Running Book is a life-affirming read about the nature of happiness – and how for one man it came through the feet.

Also,congratulations to the first black director of the New York City marathon Brother Ted Metellus who was born in the Bronx and raised by parents who emigrated from Haiti..The Sunday of November7,2010,I ran my 14th New York City Marathon. This is a very special run in that I had joined 43,000 other runners including my late friend Damian Gurganious and his wife Nicole, They were 2008 contestants in "The Biggest Loosers Couple".Dora and I were blessed to have him visit us at our home. He was a very humble and generous Brother, who shared with us his battle with combating diabetes…he was instrumental in assisting Dora with reversing her diabetes, which included sending her a DVD with state of the art healing motalities .t that time, my last marathon was in 2002, that along with less training may result with this being my slowest race4-5 hours as my best time is 2:58:56. I ran it in 1989 when I was 45.Which placed me 23 minutes short of elite runner status. World champion Haile Gebrselassie experienced the excitement of Africans competing against each other for the status as the world's best marathon runners I ran in honor of mywife, Dora Gray Ph.D,who is reversing her diabetic condition and my late sister, Donice Seas-bey, who at that time had been in remission from diabetes. November is National Diabetes Awareness Month,many understand that people with diabetes.Especially those of African descent, are impacted at significantly higher rates if diagnosed with COVID-19. .”
Mareike Dottschadis: Aktiv als Leistungssportlerin und gleichzeitig Mental Coach für andere. Als Sportpsychologin am Olympiastützpunkt Brandenburg, in der adidas Sports Base Berlin und per Video-Call für Athleten auf der halben Welt im Einsatz. Im Profi- und Freizeitsport. Nicht nur für Läuferinnen und Läufer aber für diese doch besonders oft. Warum? Na klar: Weil sie selber läuft. Und zwar richtig viel und richtig oft. Warum hat sich Mari, als sie spät ihre Leidenschaft fürs Laufen entdeckte, oft über negative Kommentare geärgert? "Zu breite Schultern! Läufst du wirklich? Du bist doch CrossFiterin!" Und was hat sie daraus gemacht? Welche Strategien helfen uns, langfristig motiviert zu sein? Warum haben wir den Schlüssel zum Erfolg schon in der eigenen Tasche und was hat eine vielbefahrene Straße damit zu tun? Was hatte Haile Gebrselassie im persönlichen Gespräch in Äthiopien für Tipps auf Lager und wie war das, als Mareike mit ihm in Kenia im 'Home of Champions' auftauchte (zugegeben, nicht als sein Coach;-))? Hört rein und nehmt was mit für euch und euren Spaß am Laufen :-) Mehr zu Mari findet ihr hier: https://www.instagram.com/marirennt/ https://www.mentaltrainiert.de/ Und mehr zu unserem Laufcamp vom 14.-21.11.2021, in dem Mari und Alex Lubina (Podcast #61 und #6) als Co-Trainer für euch da sind: https://www.robinson.com/de/de/events/dein-urlaub-deine-events/outdoor/top-event/lauf-camp-fitschen/ Wer lieber mit Herbert Steffny, Oliver Hoffmann und mir nach Kenia düst: https://www.interair.de/de/reisen/details/laufreise-kenia-2022
The first track and field medals of the Tokyo Olympics were decided with Selemon Barega winning gold in the men's 10,000 meters to put Ethiopia back on top of the event for the first time since Kenenisa Bekele and Haile Gebrselassie's reign. Uganda took silver and bronze with Joshua Cheptegei and Jacob Kiplimo deploying team tactics but not quite following the plan. Grant Fisher may be a 10K guy, as much as he may not like that, after taking fifth to earn the top American honors. Plus, what was the gutsiest performance of the day that came out of this race? Find out. Also discussed in this episode: – The women's 400m hurdles is set for a major clash of the titans again with smooth showings by Sydney McLaughlin, Dalilah Muhammad and Femke Bol – Why the women's 5,000 meter final may end up being historically fast with Kenya and Ethiopia fielding their stars vs. Sifan Hassan – How hard will it be for the U.S. to come away with more than one medal in the 100m hurdles after a sweep in 2016? – No more sleeping on Clayton Murphy as the U.S. puts three men in the final but what's this mean for Nijel Amos? – Big Throws love to Raven Saunders and Jessica Ramsey – Examining the Blessing Okagbare positive test for HGH and the subsequent suspension mid-Games – Kudos for Matt Ludwig making it to Tokyo to replace Sam Kendricks + More TUNE IN AND LISTEN TO TORCH TALK WITH CHRIS, KYLE AND DANA.

20 years ago today: an 18-year-old Dathan Ritzenhein earns the bronze medal in the junior race at the World Cross Country Championships in Belgium. No American man has won an individual medal at World XC since. Matt Tegenkamp was 5th. Race won by a certain Kenenisa Bekele. Next weekend's Istanbul Half Marathon will be one of the races of the spring. Geoffrey Kamworor v Kibiwott Kandie in a battle of past and present world record holders.

LA County just announces pathway for multi-team events (invitationals) What a run! Chris Thompson, 22 days shy of his 40th birthday, was 35 secs behind the leaders at 30k of today's British Olympic marathon trials. But he closed hard to win the race in a PB (2:10:50), securing the Olympic standard, to clinch his second Olympic berth.This was Chris Thompson's marathon progression prior to winning today's British Olympic trials in 2:10:50. He still logged some solid times at shorter distances in that span (notably a 61:07 half last year), but today's run was quite a turnaround -- and the marathon of his life. Was curious when talk would turn to Thompson's footwear today (he was wearing blacked-out Vaporflys). The supershoes have put companies like On in a tough position, but you have to applaud them for putting their athletes first.

When passion for running becomes a harmful addiction, diversifying a sense of self can help to heal the relationship. @DavidLaney12 “Ideal racing weight” is an important subject because the mass of an athlete affects performance. But, where is the line between an increase in performance and encouraging an athlete to adopt unhealthy behaviors? http://bit.ly/race-weight For behaviors that you want to do, the goal is to make triggers salient, the behavior easy, and the reward as immediate and satisfying as possible. https://linktr.ee/AND3RSON --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/andy-noise/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/andy-noise/support

Quel est le point commun entre le footballeur Didier Drogba et une route africaine ? Réponse, la sécurité routière des pays en développement ! Un sujet dont on parle peu. Pourtant, les accidents de la route y sont la première cause de mortalité des jeunes de 5 à 29 ans. Le pilote Jean Todt, ancien champion du monde de Formule 1, vainqueur de 5 Paris Dakar, publie un livre soutenu par des vedettes du monde entier. Son livre combat, « Des millions de vies à sauver sur les routes du monde », est édité chez Débats Publics. Cet ambassadeur de l'ONU pour la sécurité routière a reçu Marina Mielczarek à Paris. L’Afrique prend une grande place dans le cœur et dans l’ouvrage de Jean Todt. Les premières lignes y font d’ailleurs référence, au même titre que l’Asie du Sud-Est et l’Amérique latine. Entre 5 et 29 ans, les jeunes y meurent plus d’accidents routiers que de tout autre fléau. Didier Drogba, Raphaël Nadal ou encore Pharrel William Rien de plus efficace que les idoles pour toucher la jeunesse. Les footballeurs Didier Drogba, Antoine Griezmann ont signé des messages de prévention pour les écoles de 90 pays du monde entier. Sous leurs portraits, des messages simples : allumer ses phares, ralentir devant les établissements scolaires… Parmi les autres sportifs, le pilote Fernando Alonzo, le tennisman Raphaël Nadal ou encore le coureur de fond Haile Gebrselassie. Côté people, Pharrel William a pris la pose, de profil en casquette américaine avec cette légende : « Do not text and drive » (Pas de texto au volant !) L’ONU engagée Le livre de Jean Todt, Des millions de vies à sauver sur les routes du monde, s’ouvre sur une photographie, la poignée de main de l’auteur, ancien champion de Formule 1 et du Secrétaire général de l’ONU, Antonio Guterres. Une collaboration qui dure puisque Jean Todt est depuis 2015 l’Envoyé spécial mondial pour la sécurité routière. Entretien exclusif autour du livre : Des millions de vie à sauver… sur les routes du monde, paru aux éditions Débats Publics. RFI : Jean Todt, vous dîtes que les solutions existent. Quelles sont-elles ? Jean Todt : Oui, en effet, l’éducation fait tout. Apprendre à attacher la ceinture de sécurité, porter un casque en moto ou mobylette. Ne pas boire au volant. Ne pas téléphoner. Et puis il y a aussi la qualité des routes, la qualité des voitures et l’organisation des secours après un accident. C’est toujours plus facile à dire qu’à faire ! Vous encouragez les pays à améliorer la qualité des routes et des autocars de transport... C’est bien pour cela qu’il faut une volonté politique derrière pour faire appliquer les lois. Rappelez-vous, dans des pays comme la France, la sécurité routière n’est pas venue rapidement, d’un simple coup de baguette magique. Les ministres ont dû batailler mais au final, les accidents de la route ont été divisés par 5. Pourquoi les pays en développement d’Afrique n’y arriveraient-ils pas ? Lors de votre tournée africaine, quels gouvernements avez-vous rencontré ? Les responsables kényans et égyptiens m’ont exposé leur volonté de s’engager. Mais je le répète, c’est mon rôle d’ambassadeur de l’ONU, rien ne se fera sans la volonté politique de faire appliquer les lois de la sécurité routière. L'une des premières choses à faire est d'enregistrer le nombre d'accidents. À partir de registres, on se donne des objectifs et des dates précises. L’enjeu, dîtes-vous dans votre livre, est aussi de réduire les véhicules poubelles, de mauvaise qualité qui sont un vrai danger sur les routes... Parfaitement. Lorsque nos vieilles voitures européennes sont bonnes pour la casse, elles arrivent en Afrique et cette mauvaise qualité provoque des pannes ou des fonctions qui ne marchent plus, comme les phares ou des portières mal fixées. Tout cela participe à faire des morts et des blessés. En dehors des conducteurs, vous insistez aussi sur l’éducation des piétons... En 2030, si nous arrivons à faire appliquer ses règles simples, nous réduirons de 50 % les accidents dans le monde et bien entendu en Afrique. Parler dans les écoles ne suffit pas. Aujourd’hui, nous avons besoin de vous, les médias pour faire passer le message. Chaque jour des milliers de jeunes sont percutés sur des routes en ville ou dans les zones reculées. Cela aussi, il faut le dire et en être conscient. L'autre point important, pour finir, est l'aspect financier : les accidents coûtent cher aux pays... Oui, ils ne s'en rendent pas toujours compte. Les accidents de la route leur font perdre de l'argent. Des jeunes adultes meurent ou alors restent blessés à vie. C'est la force vive du pays qui diminue. C'est l'économie, avec des frais de santé très importants, qui est touchée. ► Consulter le site de la Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile
Vous connaissiez vous, Khalid Khannouchi ? Nop ? Voici son résumé en un mot : champion ! Khalid est l'un des plus grands : 4 fois vainqueurs du marathon de Chicago, 2 fois casseur du record du marathon. Mais alors pourquoi ? Pourquoi je ne le connaissais pas ?

My guest in this episode of the podcast “Leadership is the Competitive Advantage” is Annastiina Hintsa, CEO of Hintsa Performance. Hintsa Performance is a world-renowned coaching company that has helped ambitious people achieve sustainable high performance for over 20 years now. The holistic Hintsa coaching method has been used by Fortune 500 executives and world-class athletes like F1 Champions Fernando Alonso and Mika Häkkinen. Annastiina has lately taken over Hintsa Performance from his father, the founder Dr Aki Hintsa. After working in top management consulting firm and experiencing firsthand a burnout, she was faced with profound questions about balance and meaning in life as well as how to achieve sustainable high performance. We will, among other topics, have a chance to glimpse into Annastiina’s inspirational personal journey as it conveys a clear message that the way to improve performance and find fulfillment is through better health and wellbeing. I am really glad that Annastiina will join us at the Estonian Human Resource Management Association's annual conference this November as one of the keynote speakers. “My personal mission is to help people live a life of meaning and consequently achieve sustainable high performance. We also help organizations to create optimal conditions for those individuals to succeed. That is what we are all about. That is what I am all about as well. It is important to understand that my father’s main thesis was that success is a byproduct of a holistic health and wellbeing. Our wellbeing is actually the foundation for sustainable performance. In other words – living a better life is what leads to a better performance. While working in Ethiopia, it was the Ethiopian running legend Haile Gebrselassie who inspired my father to study what made Haile one of the best distance runners in the history. Haile’s life was integrated with all elements in his environment geared towards supporting his goals and running ambitions. It became clear that optimal performance derives from a healthy, balanced life. Taking care of your wellbeing allows you to function at your full potential. This inspired my father to develop the so-called circle of better life. He drew a circle and on the outer layer he placed the following six elements: physical activity, nutrition, recovery, biomechanics, mental energy and general health. The middle of the circle he called the core – it represents your identity, goals, and the sense of control. That is why we here at Hinsa Performance always ask about your identity. Do you know who you are? About your purpose. Do you know what you want? And finally are you in control of your life? It is through the process of exploring those themes that we build the different blocks that actually matter to you the most as well as help you keep a balance in knowing your identity and core motivations. And it is unbelievable how little we pay attention to the core and take time to think about these crucial questions.” – Annastiina Hintsa Listen and enjoy!

Jon and Bryan continue their discussion of Bob Larsen's amazing coaching career, including:UCLA- How he found and hired his coaching staff at UCLA, including John Smith (sprints), Art Vanegas (throws), Anthony Curran (pole vault), Steve Lang (jumps), Russ Hodge (decathlon), and Tommie Lee White (hurdles)- Why he wanted to hire people with different personalities- The pre-meet dinners before the UCLA-USC dual meet, and coach Larsen's strategic phone calls to key athletes to make sure they were mentally ready to get the points the team needed- How coach started preparing athletes mentally for their big meet as early as the fall each year, and how he used specific races and workouts to accomplish that- Some memories of Jon's performances at the dual meet, including UCLA's first loss after a 21-year win streak and his amazing triple his senior year- The influence that Bruce Ogilvie and Thomas Tutko had on how Bob thought about sport psychology and the coach/athlete relationship Mammoth, Meb, and Mastering the Marathon- How they decided on Mammoth as their location for altitude training- A detailed overview of Meb's initial three weeks of training at altitude prior to his American Record 10,000 meter performance, and the clear sign Bob looks for to know when Meb is really working hard- Why Meb is a coach's dream athlete, and how Bob still had to be careful with what he said because Meb was going to do it- Stories about how they prepared for the Athens Olympics, and why Bob thinks Meb and Deena Kastor (who won bronze) were the two most prepared athletes in those races- How they came to use specialized ice vests to keep their core temperature down, and what Bob had to do to get them ready- Why some events are more coachable than others and the pleasure Bob takes in finding every legal way to make sure his athletes are ready to go- Why Bob knew Stefano Baldini (who won gold) was one of the two people Meb had to watch out for- Bob's thoughts on Eliud Kipchoge's sub-2 effort, the pros and cons of how he did it, and why he was ultimately the right guy to do it- The threshold-based logic for why Bob has always believed sub-2 was possible, and the race conditions that would be required to pull it off - What future fans won't understand when they see Meb's personal best times relative to the success he had- Why nobody has ever been better than Meb at making the right decisions in races, and the one time Bob can remember when Meb didn't stick to the plan and it cost him- Meb's efficiency--gained from doing countless drills--that allowed him to conserve energy in races and their strategy to exploit other athletes' inefficiencies in the middle of races- The last 5k of Boston and what it exemplified about both Meb's efficiency and mental mastery when it came to racing- And finally, some quick hitting questions about Bob, and a quote from Ernst van AakenIf you liked this episode, check out Part 1 with Bob Larsen and our interview with Merhawi Keflezighi (Meb's brother).Recorded July 8, 2020.References:City Slickers Can't Stay With Me - Amazon Prime VideoRunning to the Edge by Matthew Futterman - AmazonBruce Ogilvie - WikipediaMake the Leap by Bryan Green - On sale end of summer/early fallGuest:Bob LarsenHosts:Bryan Green, @sendaibry, Go Be More BlogJon Rankin, @chasejonrankin, Go Be MoreLinks:Go Be More websiteGo Be More YouTube ChannelFeedbackSubscribe on your favorite player:Simplecast
DES ROACHE was once the ninth best Under-20s athlete in the world over 1500 metres and used to train with Paula Radcliffe. When a knee injury ended his dreams of making it on the track he turned to refereeing. He took charge of the 2010 Scottish Junior Cup final and spent five years as a category one whistler. But when football gets up and running again Des will be making calls of a different kind. In May he was appointed assistant manager to Martin Ferry at West of Scotland League side Kilbirnie Ladeside. He tells Gareth and Paul how he hopes to keep his emotions in check now he's the man in the dugout rather than the man in the middle. We hear how he was desperate to get to the end of his first ever game as a ref – and why officiating in the juniors was what he loved most. Des talks us through his thought processes after sending a player off in that junior cup final and why he once told a player on the pitch all about the Chinese meal he was having a night after a game. But he also explains why he felt he would never reach the top of the game as a whistler and why that led to him packing it in and reveals who the toughest player to referee was. There's the Champions League winner's shirt his wife wears while cleaning the house and the day he came up against running great Haile Gebrselassie too. All that and more on Episode 14 of Down The Divisions. If you have any comments we'd love to hear from you.

En Deportes W, el exfondista, considerado el mejor de todos los tiempos, opinó acerca de las pruebas antidoping y el efecto de la tecnología en el atletismo.
Keine guten Nachrichten aus Heilbronn und weiterhin überhaupt keine aus Hawaii: Wenn draußen nichts geht, geht drinnen umso mehr – und zwar Leistungstests in ganz neuen Dimensionen. Simon Müller hat einige ausprobiert und diskutiert mit Frank Wechsel in Norddeutschland über die Südsee, Äthiopien und den Mond.
Link Amazon per l'acquisto del libro: https://amzn.to/2TAA4hFNon conoscevo Ed Caesar, l’autore di questo libro. E non credo neanche che avrei comprato questo libro di mia sponte, che mi è stato regalato per Natale da un amico. Però alla fine la lettura è stata piuttosto interessante.Due note al volo su Ed Caesar, che credo sia sconosciuto ai più: è un giornalista, anche piuttosto giovane, che scrive su New Yorker, Wired, The Independent e molti altri. Non si occupa principalmente di sport, del quale comunque evidentemente scrive: oltre alla maratona è appassionato di tennis. Ma i suoi articoli sono soprattutto sulla storia, sulla guerra, oltre che di cronaca contemporanea. Ha vinto anche numerosi premi in passato.Nelle pagine di questo libro si interroga sull’assalto dei maratoneti più forti al muro delle 2 ore. Fa strano, leggendolo, di come l’atletica sia “invecchiata” nel giro di così poco tempo.Questo è un libro del 2016, eppure sembra passata una vita. I nomi dei top runner del 2016 sono ben diversi da quelli attuali, così come i tempi ed i record. E, ovviamente, l’autore non poteva certo sapere che da lì a poco, ci sarebbero stati due eventi creati ad hoc per abbattere questo famoso muro: il Breaking2 di Monza, marchiato Nike, e l’ormai arcifamoso Ineos 1:59 del 2019, dove Kipchoge è riuscito finalmente nell’impresa.Anzi, proprio nelle ultime pagine del libro (non vi spoilero nulla, tanto non c’è da scoprire nessun assassino), l’autore immagina l’idea della creazione di un evento costruito per riuscire a stare sotto le due ore: un circuito totalmente pianeggiante con poco vento, i migliori runner con delle lepri, una situazione climatica nel quale correre. Si può dire che abbia pensato in anticipo a buona parte di quello che poi è stato davvero fatto!Il libro non dà tabelle di allenamento o consigli tecnici, ma, diviso in capitoli piuttosto precisi, racconta piuttosto di alcune storie legate a questo ambiente e fa alcuni approfondimenti e riflessioni sulla corsa, in particolare quella kenyana.Si parla in grandissima parte di Geoffrey Mutai, che possiamo individuare come il protagonista del libro.Ed Caesar probabilmente lo aveva “battezzato” come colui in grado per primo di riuscire a stare sotto le due ore in maratona. E, aggiungendoci alcune storie, davvero interessanti su di lui e sulla sua vita, ha pensato di utilizzarlo come una sorta di fil rouge dell’opera. La storia ci dice che la sua previsione non è stata azzeccata!Ci sono racconti delle sue gare, fatte di successi, record, ma anche di infortuni ed insuccessi. E c’è la sua vita, anche da uomo, oltre che da sportivo. L’autore ci parla dello “Spirito” che lo pervade durante le maratone, specialmente quelle meglio riuscite.Viene narrata parte della sua crescita, che immagino sia la stessa di tanti big della corsa: un'infanzia difficile, un'adolescenza vissuta con il pericolo dell’alcool, fino al compiere la scelta di allenarsi duramente in un ritiro sugli altopiani, in situazioni ambientali estreme, nella speranza di uscire dal Kenya. Cose che spesso Mutai e gli altri top runner hanno continuato a fare, nonostante le vittorie ed i soldi guadagnati.C'è un capitolo dedicato a Samuel Wanjiru, che forse in pochi conosceranno. Una promessa della maratona, che non ha saputo gestire la sua vita. Morto in una situazione tutt’ora non chiara, a soli 25 anni. E’, a quanto pare, un pericolo comune a tanti runner africani di successo: ricevere soldi dalle gare vinte e spenderli in mogli/fidanzate (più d’una!), alcool e fare piaceri ad amici, conoscenti ed anche sconosciuti, tutti affamati di denaro. Il tutto in una nazione estremamente povera, dove la differenza tra ricchi e poveri è davvero accentuata.Ma non ci sono solo loro due: si parla di tanti maratoneti famosi e di alcune loro storie e gare. Ad esempio, Bill Rodgers, Geoffrey Kamworor, Emmanuel Mutai (che non è parente di Geoffrey), Haile Gebrselassie, che l’autore chiama per tutto il tempo solo “Haile”, forse per risparmiare inchiostro e per evitare a chi ne parlerà, come me, di impappinarsi troppo nel pronunciarne il cognome.C’è anche spazio per raccontare il Kenya: patria di tanti di questi corridori, dilaniata da guerre, povertà, abuso di alcool e doping. Si parla anche di eventuali motivi più scientifici circa la superiorità degli atleti dell’Africa orientale, ma francamente questo ed il capitolo incentrato sul doping non mi sono rimasti nel cuore. Forse perché mi appassionano di più le storie, piuttosto che alcune considerazioni scientifiche e pseudo-scientifiche sull’anatomia dei kenyoti, piuttosto che illazioni, gossip ed altri eventi legati al doping. Non è nel mio stile, diciamo.Invece, mi è piaciuta la parte dedicata alla storia della maratona e di come sia diventata diffusa solo nell’ultimo secolo. Una evoluzione sia tecnica, per i top runners, che di business e di marketing. Si comprende meglio come sia economicamente allettante per un atleta correre determinate gare, in particolare quelle delle Six Majors. Ma si parla anche di come la maratona si sia diffusa come evento di massa, anche negli atleti amatoriali. In particolare, ci sono aneddoti ed accenni a New York, Londra e Boston su tutte.Inoltre, c’è anche spazio per il nostro eroico Dorando Pietri, addirittura raccontato in un’occasione da Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.----------------------Seguimi!Canale Telegram: https://t.me/da0a42Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/da0a42/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/da0a42/Strava: https://www.strava.com/athletes/37970087Sito: https://da0a42.home.blogOppure contattami!Telegram: https://t.me/lorenzomaggianiE-Mail: dazeroaquarantadue@gmail.com----------------------Music credits: Feeling of Sunlight by Danosongs - https://danosongs.com

At the age of 8, Philipp Pflieger told his parents that he would run at the Olympic Games one day after watching Haile Gebrselassie and Paul Tergat battle it out in the home straight of the 10,000m at the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games. His parents laughed at him. In the following two decades Pflieger endured growth problems in his knees which sidelined him through most of his high school years, multiple stress fractures and surgeries in his early-mid 20's and was told by several doctors that he wouldn't run again. Cross training alone at the age of 25, Pflieger considered hanging up the racing shoes. Inspired by his best friend, Pflieger rolled the dice one more time and stepped up to the Marathon distance. Despite not finishing his first attempt at the Marathon, Pflieger managed to clock a 2:12:50 on his second attempt at the 2015 Berlin Marathon and qualify for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games in the process. We recorded this podcast episode live from Iten, Kenya. In the episode, Pflieger talks about: – how and why he stayed true to his childhood dream.– his book Laufen am Limit. – some of his training.– his short term and long term goals.– not finishing his first Marathon experience.– running 2:12:50 at Berlin Marathon 2015.– his Rio 2016 Olympics experience.– collapsing at 39km in the Berlin Marathon 2017.– altitude training camps in Kenya (pro's and con's).– pace/effort of easy runs.– long runs (30km+) in the final month preparing for a key Marathon.– his typical taper (last 2 weeks before a Marathon).– injury prevention.– mental training.

Paula Radcliffe is, indisputably, one of the greatest athletes of the modern era. During her peak in the early noughties, it seemed like every time she took to the road to compete in a marathon, another World Record tumbled.That's not to mention the dozens of medals (mostly gold) she picked up running in cross country and stadium events during a stellar two-decade career. Radcliffe's achievements are all the more astonishing once you factor in that she has exercise-induced asthma – a condition she has lived with since she was 14-years-old.Her occupation and her condition made her keenly aware of the danger posed by increasing levels of air pollution. Almost eight million people per year die as a result of being exposed to poor air quality, with outdoor – or ambient – air pollution responsible for more than half of those fatalities.Athletes, because of the amount of time they train outside and the depth of their breathing, are disproportionately affected. That's why the IAAF (now known as World Athletics) has started to install air quality monitor devices in certified tracks around the world to find out the extent to which athlete health and performance is being impacted by poor air – and what athletes can do to mitigate those negative effects.Radcliffe, already a UN Environment ambassador, was the natural choice to be the face of the project alongside Haile Gebrselassie.In this episode, Radcliffe explains the IAAF's motivation for tackling a huge issue like air quality, and talks about her own experiences managing her asthma to compete in – and win – competitions taking place in locations with poor air quality.She also echoes the International Federation's president, Seb Coe, in calling for cities bidding for IAAF events to demonstrate their commitment to clean air.“I think that for too long the air quality wasn't considered when judging where the World Championships were placed and which cities won the bid,” she says. “It should have been because when you're taking your elite athletes and asking them to perform to the maximum of their abilities, then you need to make sure you provide them with clean air to do so. For me, it should be one of the first considerations.”

The strictly wheat-from-chaff part of the rugby season is upon us, with the quarter-finals of the Pro-14 the next sort-out to be decided. Gavin Cummiskey is in studio to walk us through Munster v Treviso and Ulster v Connacht next weekend. While it's not too often we get too het up about distance running on the pod, when we go in, we really go in. In that vein, nothing could have pleased us more than the hilarious - if potentially serious - spat between 'Sir' Mo Farah and Haile Gebrselassie in the build up to the London marathon. Ian O'Riordan breaks it all down, along with Eliud Kipchoge's latest incredible marathon feat. We also have the brilliant story of the Irish Aussie Sinead Diver and Marcelo Bielsa saves the world - again. All in your Monday Added Time, with Malachy Clerkin and Pat Nugent.
Ep 1455: Marathon Mo Farah/Haile Gebrselassie Beef, Conor Murray Injury Update - 29/04/2019 by Second Captains
Mo Farah dominated the build up to the London Marathon but couldn't deliver a victory on the streets of London. We analyse the controversial events of this week and the war of words between Mo and Haile Gebrselassie and discuss whether the Olympic Champion might be considering a switch back to the track ahead of this year's World Championships in Doha.The fallout from British Swimming's decision to stream the British Championships online as opposed to giving the BBC extensive coverage continued this week when swimmer James Guy questioned the broadcaster's decision to show the National Artistic Swimming Championships in Nottingham. British Swimming explain their thought process to us and we also hear from Adele Carlsen, who led the Team GB synchronised swimmers in 2012, and ask whether one aquatic discipline should be attacking another aquatic discipline. Staying in the pool, there's news on the team selected for the World Championships later this year as well as around up from Glasgow and the international Para-Swimming event. And, when is a para-athlete a Paralympian and when is an athlete Para GB and not Team GB? We talk about the identity crisis.Tom Daley gets a mention as does Andy Murray and there's news from triathlon, hockey and cycling too. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Neil and Jason weigh in on the extraordinary public feud between track and field legends Sir Mo Farah, of Great Britain, and the Haile Gebrselassie, of Ethiopia, in our crime mysteries' segment. Who should we believe?
Forget about Eliud Kipchoge vs Farah, first we talk the crazy mess involving Mo Farah and Haile Gebrelassie -theft, a brawl, and a lot of bad blood between these 2 legends.We break down the men's race (14:02), are joined by special guest Rojo (19:56) and talk Farah-Geb, betting odds, and more. Then we breakdown the greatest women's field ever assembled led by Vivian Cheruiyot and Mary Keitany (29:00). At 41:03 we talk the American women in London, "non" training partners Emily Sisson (debut) and Molly Huddle. Callum Hawkins wants to run 2hr7minutes (51:52) and we finally get to our London Marathon predictions at 58:13.At 60:49 Michael Norman opened with a 43.45 400m and Ryan Crouser had the fourth longest shot put ever. Will Norman end the year as World champ or World record holder? At the 71:18 , friend of LRC and ultra marathoner Sage Canaday joins us for the HOKA ONE ONE sponsored segment to help us kick off our discussion of "What are the greatest Ultra marathons in the world?.

Knox Robinson is the Founder of First Run. Knox has spent time training alongside Mo Farah in Ethiopia, Eliud Kipchoge in Kenya and attended the Breaking2 Nike Project in May 2017. We dive into all of these topics with Knox in this podcast espisode. Don’t forget to check out our new book: Eliud Kipchoge – History’s fastest marathoner: An insight into the Kenyan life that shapes legends — — — — — — Podast Transcription (Matt) Thanks very much, Knox Robinson, for joining me today no this Sweat Elite podcast. Knox has a fascinating story, he’s spent some time training with Mo Farah and the Mudane – I think it’s pronounced – group in Ethiopia. (Knox) Mudane, Mudane. (Matt) Mudane? (Knox) Yeah, the president Mudane, yeah. (Matt) Mudane, yeah, got to get that right… Before the London marathon last year, and he spent some time with Eliud Kipchoge in Kenya, as well, as attended the Monza sub-2 Nike event last year in Italy. So, thanks very much for joining me today, Knox. (Knox) I’m excited to be rapping with you, for sure. (Matt) Cool. I guess we can get started by talking a little bit more about yourself and your background. You were a runner in high school and in college, you attended Wake Forest University and got yourself to, I guess, a decent standard before taking some time away from the sport, but then, you were drawn back, I guess, some ten years later, or thereabouts. I guess it would be good to talk a little bit more about, I guess, what took you away, and then what drew you back, and where you’re at now. (Knox) You know, I think, you know, really, what happened was… It’s tough. I mean, like, legions of runners will tell you how hard it is to make that leap from a, you know, passionate high school runner to walking on a top level program. I mean, Wake Forest University, in the mid to late 90s, when I walked on, was – for a very small school – had an incredibly credential distance program for this moment in time. I mean, when I walked into the locker room my first year, half of the United States junior cross country team was there, in the locker room. So, you know… Like, we had guys in there, you know, beyond all Americans – we had, just, a bunch of dudes who loved getting it cracking, and on the women’s side, there was also great athletes as well. So, it was amazing, and it was a tight knit group. I kind of, on a good day, I was scratching at that 10th man position, but it was also really challenging to kind of keep going and stay inspired when, you know, you’re… You’re just, kind of, like, 18, 19 years old, figuring it out, you’re not there on an athletic scholarship, and, you know, there’s a bunch of other interests exploding around you, and so… It got to the point where it was kind of make or break, and I kind of had a… A couple of, sort of, like, disappointing, kind of, moments on my own accord. And so, I just, you know, stopped running. Now, I’m so deep in it, all this time later, that it’s weird to think that I just made the decision to stop. But that’s what I love about what I’m doing now, is, like, I want to kind of share back with, like, young people, that your own passion for running and your own pursuit – whether the competitive or non-competitive, or performance-based, or just, you know, feeling good about yourself and your body… It doesn’t really have to be dependant on university scholarship and being part of a team. You can do it on a team, you can do it on your own, you can form your own team, you can form your own crew, and I hope to share with the folks that you can, kind of, do it for the course of your life. It’s not just something you’re going to do in your school age years. (Matt) Absolutely. And I think… I don’t want to… I guess, before I go into the quote that I read from you, I did, I guess, discover your content, for the most part I’ve heard the name before, but… On the Rich Roll podcast. And on the Rich Roll podcast, you had a great quote that said ‘Running is act of religion…’ – sorry – ‘…of rebellion.’ And you go on to, sort of, talk about how, you know, nobody wants you to run, you’re supposed to just be a digit, a one of… A one or a zero in the code, and you’re not supposed to get out and think for yourself. And I think that that’s… It’s very, very true. And you can, sort of, go and do this on your own. And, as you just sort of pointed it out, you don’t have to have university scholarship to, sort of, prove that. (Knox) Yeah. I mean, to put it in a… To put it in a better way, less, like, strident way, like a friend of mine once told me: ‘You’re only one… You’re only young once, but you can be immature for the rest of your life.’ So… Definitely… You’re definitely only young once, but you can definitely run wild for a really long time. (Matt) Absolutely. And you, yourself, have ran quite a fast half marathon yourself. (Knox) I just ran 70 minutes. I just ran 70 minutes in a half, and… (Matt) That’s quick. (Knox) At Valencia, earlier this year. (Matt) Alright! Oh, I was there. (Knox) Oh. It was incredible. (Matt) It was very windy that day. (Knox) It was windy! That’s what I’m saying. Everybody can talk junk, you know, talk trash, like, ‘Oh, it was windy…’ It rained tw… It’s only a half, rained twice… (Matt) And… Yes. (Knox) And it was windy cross and in your face, and, you know, I don’t know if you’ve ever raced in Europe, but, like, European dudes don’t play. They’re mean. (Matt) Yeah. (Knox) They’re out for blood. (Matt) Yeah. (Knox) You know, it’s not like cross country jabbing you in the ribs – these guys are, like… These guys have, like, triangle formations, they’re talking in front of you as they’re running, like, 70 minutes for the half… They’re surgning… It’s definitely very, very competitive in the way that, like, that sort of sports culture in Europe is. And so it’s awesome to just, kind of, like, catch a plane from New York and pop into the race, and, yeah, I popped a big one. I was… That was wild. (Matt) Yeah, and I think… (Knox) So… That was a high watermark for me, for sure. (Matt) Oh, yeah. That’s awesome. And you ran 70 minutes, but I actually didn’t realize it was Valencia, and being there that day, I think most people ran at least 30 seconds to a minute slower than their potential, or their personal best, most people. So… (Knox) I was 70 low, I was 70 low. I would have… (Matt) You’ve got a… Yeah, you’ve got… People want to go here. (Knox) I was thinking… I would have leaned in for 69, but I was finishing up with two younger guys, and they were really struggling, so, like, I didn’t want them to ruin my finish line photo, I didn’t want them to, like, head to the side, so I was, like, ‘You go on ahead, let me just… I’ll give you a little room so I look cute on the finish line.’ (Matt) I’m impressed you were thinking this credibly at the end of a half marathon, well done. (Knox) Look, times are going to come and go, but, like, a good photo… You need to, like, make sure it’s crispy. (Matt) Yeah. It was super windy between, I think, what – 10 and 16 kilometer mark, but… Yeah. That’s awesome. (Knox) Yeah. (Matt) So, I guess, I think what most people listening to this podcast would be super interested in would be about your time spent in Ethiopia, with Mo Farah’s training group, before the London marathon last yeah. And, although I sort of know the backstory about how that came about, and how you were asked to go, and, sort of, what happened there, I think it would be really cool to talk about all of this over the next, sort of, 10 to 15 minutes, because it is quite fascinating how you ended up there. And, sort of, some of the stories, kind of, about that. For example, you know, the story about the… About the coffee, how they went to get some coffee one day and the coffee machine wasn’t working, and just the general culture around there and how… I guess what you went in expecting it would be like, and then what it was actually like. So, it would be really cool for us to chat a little bit about that. (Knox) Yeah. I mean, it was… It was… I don’t want to call it a fluke, but it was just kind of like a hilarious chain of events before the New York City marathon, I was kind of lucky to kind of be one of the last guys accepted into the Sub-Elite field, so I rode out on the Sub-Elite bus to the start line of the New York City marathon, and was in the holding area with the Elite guys, so everybody is in this sort of indoor track area on Staten Island before the race, a couple of hours before the race. Super chill environment, everybody’s running around on the track, men and women, elites and sub-elites, and I was… I had kind of been on a several months’ meditation wave, so I go off to the side, I meditate, I come back, and then, when I come back to the track, I’m not really friends with any, like, the elite runners on the New York City scene, you know? They’re in, like, the rich guy clubs, and they work on Wall Street and all that kind of stuff, and I’m sort of, like… You know, an older black dude with, like, a chipped tooth and, you know, kind hangs out in Brooklyn, so… I was, like, ‘I’m just going to go hang out with, like, the African dudes. (Matt) Which is a good move, which is a great move… (Knox) Like, I’m black, so, I’ll just hang out, and the black guy is, like, ‘Hey, is this, like…This is the black section, let me hang out with the brothers.’ So, I go over there, and I knew Abdi, so at least go over and sit by Abdi, I’m stretching… Meb’s over there, Meb, kind of, like, says ‘What’s up?’ And then, Kamworor’s there, I think Stanley Biwott was there, I knew Wilson Kipsang… (Matt) Yeah. (Knox) From meeting him in Berlin a few weeks… A few months before, when he dropped out. So… I knew some of the guys. I just, like, dropped myself down and hung out, and then Abdi sort of – to, like, make conversation – was, like, ‘Hey, man…’ And I’m thinking about New York, I’m thinking about, like, what I’m going to execute on First Avenue, I’m, like, in my zone, I’m trying to be cool. Not trying to, like, fan out, and, like, take selfies with these guys. And Abdi’s like, ‘Hey, man, why don’t you come out to Ethiopia? I’m going to be there training with Mo again, Mo ready for London.’ And I was, like, ‘Yeah. Cool.’ And I just left it at that. I was, like, ‘Yeah. Cool. I will.’ I said ‘Yeah. Cool.’ So… So, then, I mean, fast forward, I just booked a flight and, like, went out to the camp, which is probably north of Addis Ababa, in this small little hamlet, this little town called Sululta, where Haile Gebrselassie’s complex is, and then, across the street, of course, is Kenenisa Bekele’s complex, or his old place that some Chinese guys bought. So, yeah, showed up in the middle of the night, they didn’t have a room for me as planned. I went across the street and stayed at Kenny B’s place… Kenny’s old place. That was one of the worst places I’ve ever slept at in my life, and I’ve slept at a lot of tough places… (Matt) This is Kenny Bekele’s accommodation? (Knox) Yeah, but it hadn’t been, like, kept up in a couple of years, because he sold it to, like, some chinese investors, and didn’t maintain it. And now he’s building a new place across the street, and that’s where Mo trains. (Matt) OK. (Knox) So, Mo trains at Kenenisa’s track, which is next door to Haile Gebrselassie’s hotel and track. (Matt) Right. OK. (Knox) So, Mo is staying at Haile’s pace, and training at Kenenisa’s place. (Matt) Big names there. (Knox) It was crazy, no, it was crazy. And then, like, you know… Met… Guys were just driving up… It was just… It was just… It’s a wild town, it’s a wild town, to think that much elite, sort of, talent is, like, in and out as much as… Goat herders are there, and, like, a church is, like, doing ceremonies in the middle of the night, all night… It was just really a wild scene. Very, very different from the peaceful, sort of, environment that Eliud Kipchoge trains in. But I think Mo Farah really thrives on energy and excitement, for sure. (Matt) Yeah. OK. So that’s how it came about, and I guess you’ve introduced us to, like, how… What it was like coming in to Sululta… (Knox) Yeah. It’s Abdi’s fault. (Matt) Which I’d like to talk a little bit more about… (Knox) We can blame it on Abdi. Abdi’s fault. (Matt) Yeah, OK, so you were staying in this little shack. (Knox) Yeah. (Matt) Across the road from Bekele’s track. (Knox) Yeah. (Matt) I guess, what was the deal then, like…? (Knox) And then I couldn’t do that, so… (Matt) Alright, you changed… (Knox) The next day, then, I moved in… The next day I moved into Haile Gebrselassie’s, sort of, hotel spot. And that was cool. So, I stayed next door to Mo, Abdi, Bashir Abdi, who just got second in the 10,000 for Belgium at the European championships, and then, like, a bunch of young Somali guys, as well, in the camp. (Matt) Awesome. OK, and, I guess, what was it… Yeah, what was it like next to these guys and being able to… I’m assuming, you’ve mentioned in podcasts and to me before we started recording this that you attended some training runs and some training sessions, so it would be really cool to learn a little bit more about what that experience was like. (Knox) Yeah, I mean, I lived… I mean, I lived… Yeah, I don’t want to say I lived with them, because we were in the same room, but I lived next door, you know? Like… And I ran with these guys two or three times a day. I will say that I was in pretty good shape, obviously. A month after that I ran 70 minutes and a half, but… And I had spent some time at altitude… The same altitude, what, 8,000 feet or something like that, 8,000 – 9,000 feet in Mexico the month before, so the altitude wasn’t a big shock, but I will say that these guys, on the easy runs, definitely… It was definitely a bit rough. (Matt) You said it was also dead silent, too, in the… (Knox) Pardon? (Matt) You also said that it was very quiet in the easy runs, in the Rich Roll podcast? (Knox) That’s the thing, yeah, like… You know, you’d expect… And again, when you’re in school, or your hanging out in your little running crew, or even… Honestly, you know, when you go on on your long run, on the weekends, and you’re running, whatever, 20, 22, 23 miles… You’re catching up on the night before, you’re talking about this and that, you’re unloading on the week, all that kind of stuff… Then, on the easy runs, with these guys? They didn’t talk at all. Like, these runs, at a casual pace for these guys, the runs were in complete silence. And that was, like, really unnerving, that the easy runs are quiet. On other hand, the most intense track workouts that I witnessed – and It’s not like I was stepping on the track and running with these guys – but they had such a good vibe… Like, you would have thought these guys were just, like, messing around and, like, in the off season, the way the vibe was, and then, they’re stepping on the track and they’re running, like, 4 minute miles at altitude, like, on the track… And, like, dudes are falling down, you know, Mo is just, like, chewing through his pacers and, you know, the coach is on the bicycle trying to keep up, and… Meanwhile, while this is happening, they’re playing, like, Drake on their Beats Pill, or, you know, Mo is asking people to take pictures of, like, his abs and video on the iPhones, so he can post it later on his Instagram… (Matt) Yeah, he got you his phone and just said… (Knox) And he’s still ripping through reps, like, wildly. Honestly, it’s just crazy. (Matt) That’s awesome. There’s so many things I wanted to dive into there… (Knox) Yeah, yeah… (Matt) I guess, firstly, I’d like to know – before we talk about the track styles – when you were talking about the easy runs and there were, sort of, quiet. They were quiet, but you also said before that they were rough. I mean, what sort of pace are they guys punching up there? And, mind you, before we get into that, I guess the altitude is… What, it’s 2,700 meters, which… Or thereabouts, which is some… What’s that in feet? (Knox) Close to 8,000. So, yeah. Addis Ababa is, you said, 2,700 meters. (Matt) Yeah. (Knox) Yeah, so, I mean, that’s… That’s just casual running for them, at, like, 2,700 – 2,800 meters. And then, you know, sometimes on the long runs, they might do, like, an uphill long run, or you know, there’s a hill or a mountain right next to the training camp that these guys didn’t do, but a lot of athletes would run right up, and that’s, you know, close to 10,000 feet, so 3,200 meters or something like that. (Matt) Oh. (Knox) That’s… That’s pretty intense. I mean, if you look at… I don’t know what a lot of other places around the world are, but as far as in the United States, even a lot of these training locales in Colorado are much more casual altitude than that. Like, closer… (Matt) Oh, yeah. They’re closer to 2,000 maybe… (Knox) Closer to 64… 6,400 feet or something like that, not to diss any of my friends in Colorado, but… This was not that. This was, like, getting up and eating oatmeal at 8,000 feet, and then, you know, going out and… You know, like I said, I was in shape. I mean, I even went out and ran, like, my little 20-mile Boston marathon training run on my little Boston course before I went. And I was, like, ripping off pace, I was fit. And I went out to Ethiopia, and man… These guys were running, I don’t know… These guys were running quick on their easy runs, you know? Even their jog was just kind of, like… I was having to work. It was embarrassing, because I was in good shape, and they’re looking at me, like, ‘Ehh…’ You know? The only thing that saved me was, like, going out on a, you know, on a long run, and… Because I looked like I was dragging. I was tired, I didn’t look real, obviously I’m not stepping in their workout, so they didn’t know what it was. And when we went out on long runs, 20 milers, or 22 milers, the fact that I was able to do a 20 mile run in two hours, two hours and, you know, one minute with, like, no support, like, minimal fueling and hydration, at 8,000 feet or 9,000 feet, they’re like, ‘Ohh? OK, OK. Oh, OK. OK.’ Because, when it came to just the easy miles, the 7, 8, 9, 10 miles, man that… It was rough. (Matt) Yeah. (Knox) But that’s the level… That’s the shape he’s in. I mean, Mo… Mo… Mo… Mo Farah is in shape this year, for sure, as you’ve seen by him… His run at London and then his run at the Great North Run, and then… I mean, I’m excited to see what he’s going to do in Chicago this weekend. (Matt) Yeah, yeah. It will be interesting to see how he goes there and whether or not he takes some more time off his… Off his personal best. But… (Knox) For sure. (Matt) Yeah, now thanks for, sort of, painting that picture about how it… How… What it was like to do the, the… The more aerobic running with them, and I guess it would be cool to touch a little bit more on what the track sessions were like and what it felt like to be there, and… I love the story that you told on the Rich Roll podcast, about how Mo was just, like, ‘Hey, man, can you… Can you get my phone from my bag, and here’s my password, and… Just open it up, take photos…’ (Knox) Right! This is, you know, like… This is not even in the beginning of the workout, this is, like, halfway through the workout, during, like, a… During the recovery. He’s, like, ‘Hey, mate – can you go in my bag and get my phone, the red phone.’ He had, like… He had two iPhone Xs, like… I… I… I’m from New York, I’ve got cool luggage, you know, I work with Nike. I’ve got, like… I’ve got the prototype of the Peg Turbos, I’ve got a couple of pairs of 4%s in the bag… You know. I’m cool. But I didn’t get the iPhone X before it went out. I didn’t want to, like, drop it, I didn’t want to get robbed… Whatever. So, I go out to Ethiopia, Mo’s got two iPhone Xs! I was, like, ‘Oh, man. This guy is embarrassing me, like… ‘ He’s asking me to go in his bag, gives me the passcode, and then, like, wants me to take, like, photos and videos of him as he’s doing his workout, so he can post something to IG later. And then, after I did it, he didn’t even use them. Like, he didn’t even think the photos and the videos are that good. Like, he didn’t, like… I failed. That’s the worst part. (Matt) Oh, no. (Knox) I haven’t… I haven’t told anybody that, but he didn’t any use any of the stuff I took. I was, like… He’s like, ‘Oh, yeah, oh… OK. Yeah, cool. Not bad, yeah.’ I was, like, ‘Oh, come on!’ The angle, I’m laying down on the track trying to do artistic shots as he goes by, yeah… He didn’t really respect my… My… My social media. My social media… My social media technique. He didn’t really respect it, so… It’s OK. (Matt) Awesome. (Knox) But that was incredible, man. Like, just… It just made me think, like, you know, usually I think that an elite has got, like, to approach the most serious sessions with the most seriousness of purpose, or the most serious demeanor. But, you know, you’ve got to choose the demeanor that works for you. And I realised it’s about creating a good environment and creating a good vibe, and having good energy. And then, that’s going to push you to better performances, rather than some real intense situation where, you know, you’re kind of on the wrong side of pressure and… And… And… And, and, and… And Intensity. You know what I mean? (Matt) Absolutely. (Knox) It’s better to create a vibe and then just to, like, have Mo get stoked, and then tear up the track. (Matt) Yeah. (Knox) Rather than just kind of, like, ‘Can I do it? Oh, I’m going to run and get this impossible workout and then fail!’ Like… The other thing is this guy loves… And this is what I wanted to bring back and also share with people in my group, Black Roses, but also with other folks in the running world at large – like, this guy loves the challenge. Like, you know, you’re used to it. People dread the long run, like, ‘Oh, I’m worried about my long run this weekend. Oh, I can’t believe I have to do this long run this weekend.’ And we always speak about our biggest challenges, I mean, as regular people, like, in negative terms. You know? But Mo would be sitting around at lunch on Tuesday, already excited and chatting about the long run on Sunday. (Matt) Yeah. (Knox) Like, at one point, he was pitching the coach, he was, like, ‘Oh, Sunday we might go to this other place and run with the Ethiopian group.’ And the coach says, like, ‘No. No, no, no, no, no. No.’ Because, right? Mo’s excited to go to, like, another location for the long run, and do the long run with, like, the Ethiopian national team, and Ethiopian elites. (Matt) Right. That’s really interesting. (Knox) Rather than my ‘hiding at a camp’, or my ‘training is secret’, or whatever. He wanted to go and have the Sunday long run with other guys and the best in the world, like, away from cameras, away from whatever – just for the battle. Like, the light in his eyes that went up, when he was, like, trying to get his coach to let him go run with these guys, and the coach is, like, ‘No. You’re not going to do that. Because, as soon as you guys get out there, you’re going to start going, and then you’re going to start going crazy…’ And Mo’s like, ‘No, no! It’s going to be chill!’ He was actually asking the coach, he was telling him, like, ‘No, it’s going to be fine. It’s just friendly, we’re just going to go and have a good time.’ And the coach is, like, ‘No way.’ And I was like, ‘Oh, this dude not only is, like, it’s Tuesday, and he’s already chomping at the bit for the long run…’ (Matt) Yeah. (Knox) ‘… but also he wants to go and race these other dudes that he’ll outrun, with these other dudes that he races at the olympics and championships, and the marathon.’ (Matt) Yeah. (Knox) He was, like, wanting to do that. For fun. (Matt) Just for fun. That’s awesome. (Knox) Just for the battle. Just for the war. (Matt) Yeah. (Knox) Like, that was inspiring. So, I’m trying to, like, really come back and, like, change the own culture around my own group that everyone, like, gets excited for the long run on the weekends, and people get excited, you hit them with a workout and then they’re, like, ‘Yeah, let’s do… Yeah! Alright! Yeah!’ You know? I want that excitement. (Matt) It’s… (Knox) Because that’s going to change the vibe and that’s going to change the results. (Matt) Absolutely. It’s a really interesting topic, this, actually. Because I just spent, I guess, the better part of the decade living in Europe. And, other than Finland, for the most part, and in that country – I know it’s quite similar in other countries in Europe – it was very common for the… For it, sort of, essentially, to be the exact opposite of you just said, in a way that people would train on their own, they wouldn’t want to train with other people because they had a set, programmed, that they wanted to follow, from their coach. And it was almost, like… I was in Helsinki, it was almost like there was quite a lot of good runners around the town, but they were also training on their own. And the idea of getting together and doing something like you’ve just described, like, a whole bunch of guys that are all competing against each other just to, like, punch at a hard tempo around… That was, like, no way would anyone ever come up with that or do that. And it’s just… It’s not even a thought. Like… So it was really quite interesting that that’s how Mo was, sort of… That’s how Mo is. And that’s how he sees it, that’s what he wants to do. And it’s… Yeah. It’s really quite interesting. It’s… And I guess more people could do that. (Knox) I mean, it’s understandable. I mean, I come out of that, and, like, keeping workouts a secret, and training on your own… But it’s, like… And it…(audio skips, 37:29) Plan, and it doesn’t mean that, like, Mo doesn’t follow a schedule. But as, you know, as an elite, there’s only a certain number of workouts left to do. There’s only… I mean, there’s only a certain kind of workout to do. There’s only a certain handful of approaches, you know? (Matt) Absolutely. (Knox) So, what are you really going to do to get that little edge? Especially when we know that edge is .5 seconds or .2 seconds… You know? (Matt) Yeah. Exactly. Right. (Knox) What is that edge? It’s mentality and experience, and, like… I don’t know. Of course, we love that cliche of, like, the loneliness of the long distance runner. We love that. But I love seeing Mo, you know, having a whole training group of friends, and when they weren’t training, they sat around and listened to music, and laughed about a bunch of stuff, and talked about soccer and… you know? Or football, rather. Or whatever. And just, like, had a good time. And then, when it came to really go to that… To the highest heights, it was… (Matt) Game on. (Knox) It was game on. (Matt) Yeah. (Knox) It was, you know… It was fascinating. (Matt) Yeah. I really found it interesting, too, that on the Rich Roll podcast, that you spoke about how they didn’t ever know what the training session was ahead of them until they were, like, warmed up in track. (Knox) Right. (Matt) Yeah. And how, you sort of said yourself, all these, you know… Nothing against all the people that have these, sort of, training programs scheduled out for months on end, and so on. But these guys, like, I think you said it well, like, Mo is thinking in his head, it could be one of many things before the training session, and that’s… You were talking about how that could be used as an advantage. (Knox) Yeah, had to step back and think about it, because it’s, like… Like I said, I wasn’t stepping on the track and, like, jumping in his workouts, you know? A couple of times, the guys are like, ‘Are you jumping in on this?’ When I was, like, ‘Come on, man.’ So, guys were cool. Wasn’t like I just, like, you know… But I was on the sidelines, and I was just watching, because it was better to… It was an education. When are you going to get to see one of the best guys in the world at the office, you know? (Matt) Yeah. (Knox) Day in and day out. So, it was just fascinating to watch that… That… That particular approach, you know what I mean? (Matt) Absolutely. You also said that you had a lot of people after the trip not so much ask about the workouts, but they were asking about, like, the diet. And the… I think you said it was, like, a peanut butter, like a recipe or something… Something like that. (Knox) Yeah, I mean, it was cool because… Well, yeah. I just think that, like, in these days, we love… I mean, Eliud Kipchoge is so inspiring. His words are so inspiring, his life, his… His… His, just, entire aura is… Is super inspirational and aspirational. And then, Mo’s personality is infectious and what he’s done for the culture, you know… What Abdi’s done, like, all these guys are great personalities, and I like… I like… I like learning about that. I like studying… Studying that. And so, you know, a lot of times, Mo’s coach was really afraid that I was going to, like, leak this or that workout… You know, I Was taking notes or whatever, writing down the workouts… Was worried that I was going to, like, leak a certain kind of workout, and I understand that. It’s intellectual property, and Mo is heading up for London marathon, and Bekele and Kipchoge were entered in the race. So, I understand. It was in… The pressure was on. But, on the other hand, you don’t… No one ever asked me about a workout. People wanted to know what the diet was, people wanted to know about Mo drinking coffee, Ethiopian coffee, which is, of course, like, an incredible coffee experience… People wanted to know about the strength that they have in the camps out there, peanut butter tea and the recipe for peanut butter tea… So, you know, it’s really an interesting moment right now that we’re in, that people want to know not, like, what it is, but how it is. (Matt) Yeah. (Knox) You know? (Matt) Yeah. Absolutely. Well, thanks, thanks so much for sharing a good 20 minutes there of, you know, your experiences i Ethiopia. I think it’s a perfect time to sort of transition to your time spent with Eliud Kipchoge in Kenya. (Knox) Yeah. (Matt) So, I’m actually not that… So much familiar with this experience that you had, but you did go to Kenya once, so… (Knox) Mhm. (Matt) And then, you did spend some time in Kaptagat, as did we, around a year ago now, training alongside him before Berlin. I mean, it was really cool to learn a bit more about how you… About your experience in Kaptagat and training alongside that global NN Running Team. (Knox) Well, yeah. And I, you know… Much respect to the global NN Running Team, and I definitely wasn’t’, like, training alongside of them, and did… It was much different from the Mo Farah experience. I was there, sort of, independently, and then with… In Kaptagat, I was there as part of a Nike team, you know, working on a project just to, kind of, like, connect with Eliud around that Flyprint innovation, 3D printed shoe that came out earlier in the year for a few elites to race in… So, it was more of just a chance to kind of connect with Eliud off the radar, Geoffrey, Abel… And then, also, like, I had connected with Patrick Sang, who’s a master coach, and just a master human being. And so, having spent time with coach Patrick Sang the year before in Berlin, and then being able to connect with him back in Kaptagat was an experience that brought all his training and coaching philosophies and arguments to life. So, it was more just a sort of an overall, cohesive experience, and a chance to witness that rarified element, and environment of Kenyan distance training, like, first person. (Matt) Yeah. For sure. I guess you’re such a… You’re very good at describing and, I guess, painting a picture, and I think it would be really cool to spend maybe a minute now describing what it’s like in Kaptagat. And coming Eldoret and then what… I guess what the little village is like. (Knox) Yeah, I mean, you’ve seen the visuals, you know it’s just, like, one highway coming into a town, it’s like that through much of East Africa, as so much Chinese investment is helping build roads and like, just, to really kind of ease with the export of natural resources… So there’s, like, a… You know, a main two-lane highway, blacked up highway, but Eliud’s camp, the NN Running camp, or the Global Sports… global Sports Communication, right? GSC camp, where Eliud’s lived for… Since his late teens, or for the past 14 or 15 years, if not more… Was really incredible. People know it’s super simple and austere, cinder block construction. But, at the same time, they also do have solar panels and solar energy that was installed last year, so really kind of looking at a well thought out training environment for the express purpose of, like, pursuing excellence in long distance running. Athletes would go out and, of course, you’ve seen the photos of them tearing up these tracks and these amazing chain groups, star-studded training groups on the track, and then you’ve seen, you know, or heard stories of the long runs where 200 people, 250 people show up for the long run. But back in the camp, it’s really amazing, it’s just the best athletes in the world sitting around on plastic lawn chairs, kind of checking their phones, playing, like, the latest music from, you know, their scene, like, on their phones, doing some dances, and then, you know, sipping tea and just kind of joking and giving each other a tough time. A lot of jokes and revelry, and then, obviously, because it’s a self-sustaining operation, all the athletes in the camp are assigned different duties and… And details. So, on one day, Eliud Kipchoge and Geoffrey Kamworor might be tasked to clean all the trains. (Matt) Yeah. (Knox) Even if they’re, you know, the best runners in the world, world champions in the half-marathon and, you know, world record holders in the marathon and all that, so… Dudes still have to clean the toilets. It’s super humbling experience. And the other thing is, even though Eliud’s the… An elder in the camp, he doesn’t always, like, set the schedule or set the responsabilites. Sometimes it’s the younger athletes who do the assignment. That’s how, you know, horisontal the structure is. That, like, everybody has a part in everything. So, even the younger athletes have to have not just labour, but also the responsibility when it comes to assigning duties and stuff in the camp. (Matt) That’s really interesting. So, how long did you spend at… There? (Knox) I was there a week. A little over a week. (Matt) And did you manage to get to Iten? (Knox) No, I was just in Eldoret. I was supposed to go and have dinner with Allie Kieffer. Do you know about Allie Kieffer? She is a super exciting runner on the US scene who surprised a bunch of people with a big finish at New York City marathon last year, after kind of working her way into elite status later on, and now she’s really been tearing up the roads over the past year. So, she shoutout Allie Kieffer, and she’s poised for, like, a big New York City marathon coming up in a few weeks. But, anyways, Allie was over there, training at Iten, and I don’t know if she was living with Betsy Saina, but yeah, she was, like, ‘Ah come over for dinner…’ But I really underestimated how hard it is to get from Eldoret to Iten. They’re not that far apart as the crow flies on Google, but… Or even in an Uber. But, the reality of transport between the two places is a little tough, so… I didn’t make it out there. (Matt) OK. Good, well, yeah. Thank you once again for sharing that, stories about that experience. And, I guess, a couple more things would be good to talk about. First one is, you attended the Monza Nike Sub 2… I guess, what was the official name of the race? So, I’m mind blanking, but it was the… (Knox) Well, officially, it wasn’t a race. (Matt) Yeah, the challenge, I guess. Event. (Knox) What was it? It was an experience. (Matt) Experience, yeah. (Knox) It was more, like… (Matt) Yeah. (Knox) Woodstock wasn’t a concert, you know what I mean? Jimi Hendrix said ‘Have you ever been experienced?’ Monza was an experience. (Matt) Yeah. (Knox) So, Monza was an attempt to see if… An attempt to break two hours in over 26,2 miles, I suppose. That’s how you would put it cleanly. (Matt) Yeah. (Knox) But yeah, it was incredible. I mean, obviously, you know, it was on a Formula 1, a very famous Formula 1 track in Monza, Italy, and along with Eliud Kipchoge, who else did we have there? It was… (Matt) Tadese? (Knox) Zersenay Tadese and… (Matt) Yeah. (Knox) The young Ethiopian guy… (Matt) I don’t remember his name, but he was the one that… Did he drop out or did he run? He was a little bit far back… (Knox) No, everybody finished. (Matt) They all finished. (Knox) Those 3 guys finished, and then they had a team of all star pacers, so even though the pacers were incredible – Bernard Lagat, Chris Derrick, Lopez Lomong… So it was really… Again, to use the word, the phrase ‘star-studded’, it was a super kind of crazy experience to watch this level of execution, just in the pursuit of an ideal. (Matt) Absolutely. And you mentioned how, I guess, how motivating and inspiring the event was, especially towards the end, and you mentioned that you shed a tear towards the end of that race, and I guess I would have been absolutely fascinated… (Knox) Yeah; I mean, at this point, I have to admit, I did get misty eyed. .. (Matt) It was raining, so, you could have caught a hardest… (Knox) Perhaps it was the high dew point, it may have been the dew point from the morning… But there was noticeable fogging in my sunglasses, and there was no reason for me to be wearing sunglasses, because it was cloudy and raining. No, but just to watch Eliud Kipchoge really commit – and I mean that in, like, a bunch of senses of the word, to commit his spirit and his body, and his mind, to this unprecedented task was beautiful to watch for most of it. But then, in the end, it was so excruciating as he was, like, straining, you know? And it’s tough to related this to other people who don’t have kids, but, you know, when you’re watching your kids figure out life, when you’re watching your kids, you know… You and I, we have success and failure perhaps an equal measure. And we’re figuring out for our own, and we don’t ask anybody to feel sorry for us. But to watch your kids try and fail, whether that’s try to ride a bicycle and fall, or, you know, make a team, or, you know, run for student government president, or in the spelling bee, or even just, you know, falling down at the playground and skinning their knee – it’s tough to watch another human being attempt something that they’ve never done before, and to be fearless, and doing that pursued. And that’s what it was like watching Eliud Kipchoge come so close to breaking two hours for 26,2 miles. It was in the heart. And to watch him finish, I… I cried. And then, immediately after he finished, I thought ‘Man, this guy did it because he thought he could do it. (Matt) Yeah. (Knox) And he didn’t believe in any barriers. I mean, Nike marketing aside and, you know, the shoe and the preparation, the science behind it, and then the empirical conditions and the marginal gains… Man, I just missed… I’m finished, and I thought ‘This guy doesn’t believe in limits. This guy doesn’t believe… This guy thought he could do it. And then, in the next instance, I was, like, ‘What’s holding me back from my potential? What’s holding me back from my goals? (Matt) Yeah. (Knox) And yeah, I don’t even mean, like, my running goals. Sure, my running goals are, you know, I could train that much harder, you know… I can go on the wagon that much sooner… You know what I mean? (Matt) Yeah. (Knox) I could kind of, like, scuttle various aspects of my life and commit to something in running. But also, on a life level, what’s keeping me from being a better father and a better partner? And a better friend? And a better son? And a better brother? You know? Like, what’s keeping me from being a better citizen of the United States of America? Like, what’s keeping me from being, like, a writer that I’ve always dreamed of being, you know? Watching Eliud Kipchoge at Monza made me reflect on all the other aspects of my life outside of running. I think that’s part of the power that this man holds for us at this time in our culture. (Matt) That’s perfectly said. Yeah, awesome. Thank you, yeah. I’ll let you go soon. Thank you very much for everything today… (Knox) No, thank you. (Matt) I guess, very quickly, I’d like to just… Maybe we could talk about, just quickly, where people can learn a bit more about Black Roses first run? You have a very… A very cool Instagram account, and the handle is @firstrun. (Knox) @firstrun yeah. @firstrun – that’s, for better or for worse, the only place to find me, unless you want to, like, come to New York and, like, hang out. And then, you know, I’m spinning records with friends at a reggae club, or hanging out in the park. So, come to New York and hang out, but if you can’t do that yet, check me out on Instagram at @firstrun. I’ve never been on Facebook, I don’t have a Facebook account. (Matt) OK. (Knox) And Twitter didn’t work for me, as you can tell from the wordiness and the verbosity of this conversation. Twitter… I never figured out Twitter. So, Instagram is where I’m at. (Matt) Awesome. Thank you very much, once again, Knox. (Knox) Thank you, Matthew and Sweat Elite. I’m super excited to participate in the conversation. I love what you’re doing, shoutout to everybody who’s a part of Sweat Elite, and is a fan of your stuff, because I’m a fan, too, man. For sure. (Matt) Awesome. Thanks so much. (Knox) Thank you.

Earlier this week, WIRED ran a story about the new Nike sneakers tied to Breaking2, the company's attempt to help runners break the two-hour mark at a special marathon this spring. As part of WIRED's exclusive look at that initiative, our writer took a trial run in the sneakers as part of his training to achieve his own personal milestone: a sub-90-minute half-marathon. I thought we were talking about doping; Haile Gebrselassie thought we were talking about shoes.

How to Help Potential & Existing Patients Understand the Value of Your Practice What was discussed? Quote of the day: “Once you have commitment, you need the discipline and hard work to get you there.” - Haile Gebrselassie 1. Use Your Waiting Room Try using your waiting room as a way to differentiate your office. If you want to create a luxury atmosphere, consider some massage chairs and flatscreen TVs. If you have a sports centered community, transform your waiting room into a sports centered area. An example is a pediatric office that had a huge fish tank and a large treehouse for kids to play in while they waited. Put some brochures and newsletters in the waiting room to show some value. 2. Use Target Marketing Target marketing is when you know exactly who your ideal patient is and you go after them in a way they want to be communicated with. How much more effective is it for your advertisements to be seen by your ideal patient which is, as an example, a 35 year old business owner making 100k a year, who owns a home and has a family versus having your ad seen by everybody in Las Vegas? Cater directly to your ideal patient's needs and wants. 3. Use Email Marketing This is a great way to directly target a specific market and a great way to implement marketing campaigns! Email is a great way to remind patients about appointments, but it's also a great way to keep your name at the front of your patients' minds. It can be an avenue for you to show that you're human and that your office cares. If you make it easy for your patients to come in and set up an appointment or you're able to accommodate their schedules, they'll remember it and value it. 4. Engage & Market To Your Existing Patients You should know who your existing patients are and should be able to develop some demographics from them (such as areas of town, things they're coming in for, etc.) and target that. Use that information to directly market to them. Ask them what's most important to them and use that information to influence your blog posts and more. 5. Attract Referrals Build more relationships with other medical professionals. Establish more relationships and get in front of more doctors and more patients. As you do this, your potential patients will see your relationship with a doctor that they might already be comfortable with which will positively influence their decisions. Try sending holiday cards or gifts, providing lunches, sending thank you notes, and other methods to establish more relationships with other medical professionals. 6. Use Internet Marketing There's a ton of potential in internet marketing! If you don't have a digital marketing strategy in place, you're going to have a hard time in attracting the patients that you want. You need a strong website, strong social media presence, and you should be easily searchable for your potential patients. Online presence might be all that a potential patient knows about you before setting up an appointment. Don't take it lightly! 7. Always Maintain Positivity Make sure that the attitude in the office and appearance of the office is positive. Make sure your patients are greeted in a friendly manner and by name. Ensure that the office is clean and has a warm atmosphere. You want your patients to go back home and be wowed by the experience they had in your office. Ideally, you want them to write a glowing review! Positivity in your office will make a difference.

I edited my ROO Podcast #89 with Haile Gebrselassie for a project at the Oral History Winter School. Our assignment was to produce a short piece from a longer interview that would be aired on WGXC 90.7-FM in New York. This almost four minute piece tells Haile’s running story. Haile Gebrselassie is one of the greatest distance runners in history, and now business and father. I encourage you to listen to the unedited interview, ROO Podcast #89, to hear Haile’s full story. I plan to edit other ROO interviews to give listeners a preview of the longer interviews— let me know any feedback/comments you have on this style of ROO!
