In this episode of "Running: State of the Sport," George and Amby chat with Merhawi Keflezighi, younger brother of Meb Keflezighi. "Hawi" is also an important agent-manager to top track and marathon elites. He fills us in on the current financial state of the sport--who's earning significant money, and who's not. He also proposes that every winner at the World Championships should receive a $1 million first-place prize. In an emotional retelling, he relives his brother's famous win in the 2014 Boston Marathon--the year after the bombings. Before speaking with Merhawi, George and Amby discuss the amazing results at the Chicago Marathon. George notes that Kelvin Kiptum is only 23, and has only run 3 marathons (all in the last year). At Chicago, Kiptum borke the tape in a world record 2:00:35. In both of his last two marathons, he has run the second half in sub 60 minutes. Also Sifan Hassan has incredible range--from a 1:56 in the 800 meters to 2:13 in the marathon. It's hard to predict which events she will run next summer at the Paris Olympics. Amby talks about the age-group results at Chicago, including world records (3:34:32) by 75-year-old Jeannie Rice, and a 2:49:43 by 60-year-old Jenny Hitchings. Gene Dykes set an American record in the 75-79 age group (3:17:01), but fell 10+ minutes short of Ed Whitlock's world record 3:04.53.

“I would work around the clock, weekends, because I was passionate, and that's one thing I say to anyone that's passionate about what they do: make sure you do things that are sustainable, because no matter how passionate you are, no matter how much you love your job, if you're doing it 24/7, seven days a week, and you don't give yourself a break just because you love it, it's still work and it will eventually catch up to you. And I did have those moments when I was a one-man operation—I loved it, and that's why I was so quick to hire somebody else on my team, just to make sure we build the infrastructure to sustain ourselves for many years ahead.” Hawi Keflezighi is one of the top agents in all of endurance sports, and one of the nicest guys that I've ever known. He is the founder and president of Hawi Management and his agency represents some of the top athletes in track and field, road racing, trail running, and triathlon. His most notable client is his brother Meb, who he has been representing since 2005, and his roster also includes Aliphine Tuliamuk, Alexi Pappas, Katie Zafares, and Joe Gray, amongst others. We covered a pretty wide range of topics in this conversation, from the book he's been helping his dad out with to the role that storytelling has played throughout his life. We talked about coming to the U.S. from Eritrea via Italy and some of his earliest memories as a young kid, to how he ended up at UCLA, and the path he followed to becoming a sports agent. Finally, we got into the weeds of the business, marketing, and sponsorship side of professional running and discussed how contracts have evolved over the past 15 years, what the job responsibilities are for an athlete today, how he sees things evolving in the future, and a lot more. This episode is brought to you by: — New Balance: I was recently able to get my hands on a pair of the new Fresh Foam 1080v11 and I was shocked to love them even more than I did last year's v10 model. New Balance claims the 1080 offers the ultimate ride, and I'd have to agree. It's the best fitting shoe I own and the Fresh Foam X cushioning feels super comfortable underneath my feet. It's lightweight and flexible, but also responsive and durable—basically the perfect trainer to log most of your miles in, which is what I do. I wear it on most of my non-workout days and for long runs too. Check out the Fresh Foam 1080v11 on newbalance.com and consider adding a pair to your rotation. — Girls on the Run has been inspiring girls to know and activate their limitless potential and boldly pursue their dreams.

"I was nervous. But it was the kind of nervousness that really drove me to work as hard as possible, be as persistent as possible, and as thorough as possible."   Hawi Keflezighi is one of the greatest agents in running and track and field. As the founder and CEO of HAWI Management, Hawi and his team represent 30 athletes including Alexi Pappas, Nikki Hiltz, Aliphine Tuliamuk, and, of course, Hawi's brother, Meb Keflezighi. On this episode, Hawi talks about how — and why — he started his agency when he was still in law school, and explains what, exactly, agents do. He talks about being one of 11 siblings, and shares his family's story of emigrating from Eritrea to the United States. Hawi, who lives in Indianapolis with his wife and two kids, talks about what the American Dream means to him, and talks about why integrity is so important to him. There's a reason the Keflezighis are some of the best-loved people in sports, and this conversation is a perfect example of that.   Thank you to AfterShokz for sponsoring this episode of the Ali on the Run Show! CLICK HERE for 15% off all wireless headphones.   What you’ll get on this episode: How Hawi became an agent (5:00) What exactly does an agent do?

This is the first of several post-U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials episodes coming your way this week. It was such an honor to co-host a live show after the race alongside Carrie Tollefson and Meb Keflezighi — in front of a 400-person audience! After an inspiring opening speech by UCAN President and CEO Shoba Murali and a few remarks from Meb, we recapped the race with Carrie (who was the official race announcer) and Meb (the official race starter). Then, we welcomed seven UCAN athletes — Sarah Sellers, Taylor Ward, Dawn Grunnagle, Tyler Pennel, Andrea Toppin, Anita Perez, and Jocelyn Todd — who shared their stories from the day. Some had breakthrough races (a PR for Sarah Sellers!), while others had challenging days on the course. All of their stories were honest, uplifting, and relatable, and I'm so grateful for everything they shared.   Thank you to UCAN for sponsoring this episode of Ali on the Run Show! Click here and use code ONTHERUN for 20 percent off your order, plus free shipping.

"The marathon is a metaphor for life. It’s about patience, and you get out of it what you put in it." This is a very special episode of the You Can Run a Marathon series, because it was recorded live in front of a fantastic audience at Finish Line Physical Therapy in New York City. Meb Keflezighi is the only person to ever win the New York City Marathon, Boston Marathon, and Olympic silver medal.

Una de las preguntas que nos hacen los runners más frecuentemente es: ¿Debo correr la distancia de carrera en entrenamiento? Aunque suene un poco obvio, veremos que no es tan sencilla la respuesta. Te invitamos a que escuches el episodio completo por medio del reproductor a continuación o el de la parte inferior. Ambos son enlaces directos al audio donde puedes escucharlo vía streaming. Sin embargo, la mejor manera de consumir el contenido es suscribirte al podcast totalmente gratis ya sea en iTunes o en la app Podcast Addict para dispositivos Android. Repetimos, totalmente gratis. Una vez estés suscrito, descarga el episodio en una red Wifi y tendrás disponible el episodio para ser escuchado cuando quieras y donde quieras sin utilizar un solo mega de tu plan de internet en tu dispositivo móvil.     Confianza. Antes de desglosar el tema a profundidad, quisimos tocar el tema de confianza. Resulta muy común que runners quieran correr la distancia de carrera en entrenamiento solo por el hecho de subir los niveles de autoconfianza. Y aunque resulta claro, si has corrido 21 kilómetros en entrenamiento puede que tengas mayor tranquilidad al momento de la carrera. No obstante, veremos que no siempre es lo indicado. Especialmente, en distancias como 21k 42k o ultramaratones. Ningún ultramaratonista que conozca, corre 160 kilómetros en entrenamiento antes de una carrera de 160 k. En noviembre 3 del 2018, Luis participará en una carrera de 160 kilómetros y su distancia máxima en entrenamiento será de 42k. De esta manera, no cometas el error de por sólo elevar tu autoconfianza dejes tu mejor esfuerzo en entrenamiento en vez de la competencia.   ¿Debo correr la distancia de carrera en entrenamiento? Para responder a esta pregunta, decidimos dividir esta duda basado en dos cosas: Distancia y habilidad. Depende si quieres correr 5k, 10k, 21k o maratón. Adicionalmente, eres una persona que nunca ha completado dicha distancia o por el contrario eres experimentado. De acuerdo a estas variables, la respuesta cambia ligeramente. Así que resumamos rápidamente lo hablado en el episodio:   Cinco y diez kilómetros. Principiantes: Según múltiples planes, es posible correr la distancia de carrera en entrenamiento. Incluso un poco más. Se habla que puedes incluso caminar, en el caso de los 5k, más de los kilómetros que vas a cubrir en carrera. Ahora, si nunca has corrido la distancia, sigue los consejos del episodio # 5, donde hablamos de las reglas de oro como: No aumentar más del 10% la distancia semanal de semana a semana. Intentar entrenar mínimo tres veces por semana. Es la frecuencia mínima para lograr que tu cuerpo logre las adaptaciones positivas del entrenamiento Avanzados: Ya que has completado múltiples 5k o 10k, y ahora tu meta es bajar el tiempo, la respuesta es un concreto sí. No sólo puedes correr la distancia de carrera en entrenamiento, sino que es aconsejado. Correr fondos de más de 5k y 10k respectivamente, construye tu habilidad aeróbica. Los trabajos de velocidad son complementados poderosamente cuando corres 1 a 3 veces por semana distancias superiores. Si estás interesado en mejorar velocidad, puedes escuchar este episodio.   Media maratón (21k): Aquí la respuesta a sí debes correr la distancia de carrera en entrenamiento varía mucho según a quien le preguntas. Nos tomamos el trabajo de visitar 100 planes gratuitos en internet y esto fue lo que encontramos: Sin embargo, en el episodio discutimos la agresiva idea de Amby Burfoot, quien dice que podrías solo correr 11.5 kilómetros y aún así estar listo para una media maratón. Una vez más, dividimos la respuesta entre novatos y experimentados: Principiantes: Para nosotros, un principiante no es solo aquella persona que nunca ha corrido 21k antes, sino cualquier persona que no ha construido su base atlética. Para esto, es necesario invertir entre 6 a 12 meses corriendo mínimo 3 veces por semana al menos 30 minutos diarios. Si estas en estos grupos, la recomendación es NO correr la distancia de la carrera en entrenamiento. Mejor corre alrededor de 16k y dar lo mejor de ti en la carrera oficial. Avanzados: Al igual que los corredores avanzados de 5k y 10k, la respuesta es positiva. Puedes correr la distancia de la carrera en entrenamiento. Se aconseja un 20% adicional. Lo importante es hacerlos a un ritmo inferior del que quieres correr en la carrera.   Maratón (42k): Hablamos de varias razones para no correr la distancia de la carrera en entrenamiento cuando hablamos de 42.195 kilómetros. Aunque atletas elite como Keflezighi, Kipchoge, Bauer corren rutinariamente una maratón en entrenamiento. Sin embargo, el 99.9% de los planes aconseja no correr 42k en entrenamiento. Incluso, hablamos de las siguientes razones lógicas para seguir esta recomendación: Después de tres horas y medio de correr, los beneficios fisiológicos son decrecientes. Ver John Honerkamp. Según Honerkamp, para correr una maratón la mínima distancia que debes cubrir es 26 kilómetros. También, lo puedes medir en tiempo. Hacer un fondo de tres horas es suficiente para preparar exitosamente una maratón.   Ventajas de correr entre 26 y 34 kilómetros en entrenamiento: Confianza: Correr alrededor de 30 kilómetros da la confianza suficiente al runner que puede completar los 42k el día de carrera. Simulación: Esta oportunidad te sirve para ensayar todo lo relacionado a la carrera: Hidratación. Vestimenta. Altimetría. Circuito. Fueling. Aprender a correr cansado: Las reservas naturales de glucógeno son alrededor de 90 minutos. Correr después de esta barrera enseña a tu cuerpo a correr una vez se está agotado. También le da oportunidad de aprender a hacer un cambio en la fuente de energía. Estímulo fisiológico: Está comprobado que los beneficios fisiológicos ocurren entre los minutos 90 y 150. Extensión capilar, desarrollo mitocondrial y niveles de mioglobina ocurren en este periodo.   Efectos de correr 42 kilómetros. Otra razón para no correr la distancia de carrera en entrenamiento es que hacerlo conlleva consecuencias reales a nivel físico, entre ellas: Efectos negativos al sistema muscoloesquelético entre 3 a 14 días. Compromete el sistema inmunológico. Daños a nivel celular por 3 a 7 días.   No te pierdas el próximo episodio. Ya sabes donde puedes escuchar el episodio entrevista completo.

“In order to find out what you can do, you have to show up. Give yourself a chance and see what happens.” —Desiree Linden When I launched the Ali on the Run Show in February 2017, I knew right away I wanted to eventually host live events. I love sharing conversations on this show every week, but human, in-real-life connection is so powerful. I wanted to have those conversations with a live audience. It was a dream in 2017, and on June 2 at the Westin San Diego Gaslamp Quarter — alongside Meb Keflezighi, Andrea Barber, Chris Heuisler, and Des Linden — it became a reality. Here's the full episode. (And here's a recap from San Diego.)   What you’ll get on this episode: Why Meb Keflezighi is, according to Chris Heuisler, like Mr. Miyagi (5:20) How everyone on the panel knows each other (6:00) What brought everyone to running — and what keeps them running (8:40) Andrea isn’t a fan of red carpets, but she was happy to do this live show — here’s why (11:00) The sacrifices Meb, Andrea, and Chris all had to make throughout their careers and lives, in running and beyond (12:10) What Meb’s retirement looks like (15:00) “When it comes to running, how do you get your family to get it?” (21:30) Meb, Andrea, and Chris open up about their insecurities, how they developed their confidence, and mental health (25:45) How Meb’s identity has changed since retirement, and what it’s like to show up to a race when you’re not there to win (32:20) “Do you have any haters?” (36:00) Listener Q&A: Meb’s tips for mastering mental toughness, and everyone shares their favorite spot for a long run (40:30) Sprint to the Finish — with a surprise guest! (44:00) What we mention on this episode: Andrea Barber on Episode 45 of the Ali on the Run Show Chris Heuisler on Episode 6 of the Ali on the Run Show Chris Heuisler on Episode 44 of the Ali on the Run Show Des Linden on Episode 64 of the Ali on the Run Show Westin Hotels and Resorts Westin San Diego Gaslamp Quarter Rock N Roll San Diego linden & true Coffee Follow Meb: Instagram @runmeb Facebook Twitter @runmeb Follow Andrea: Instagram @andreabarber Facebook Twitter @andreabarber Follow Chris: Instagram @chrisheuisler Twitter @runwestin Follow Des: Instagram @des_linden Facebook Twitter @des_linden Follow Ali: Instagram @aliontherun1 Facebook Twitter @aliontherun1 Blog Strava Listen & Subscribe: Apple Podcasts Spotify SoundCloud Overcast Stitcher Google Play SUPPORT the Ali on the Run Show! If you’re enjoying the show, please subscribe and leave a rating and review on Apple Podcasts.

You could say it all started for Meb as a seventh-grader who ran a 5:20 mile in gym class. But, you would have missed an unbelievable journey that preceded it – a civil war that threatened the already-destitute conditions in Eritrea in the 1980s, a refugee voyage to Italy, and a test of a family's resilience to get to America, that thrived once on its shores. This resilience would be tested throughout Meb's running career: through the death of a training friend, excruciating injuries, and the loss of his main sponsor. It was fitting, therefore, that Meb, an American citizen emboldened by these years of resilience, broke the tape in the 2014 Boston Marathon. “That moment, when I won the Boston Marathon,” Meb says, “I knew I was on this earth to be impactful through running.” B.A.A. CEO Tom Grilk sits down with Meb in this week's episode. 

"Nothing changes. We do learn from our mistakes but as a person, hopefully, my teammates from high school or college would still say the same thing [about me]. And that's my goal. The demands on my time change, and we evolve, and have learning experiences, but the person I am hopefully hasn't changed." It's an honor and a pleasure to welcome Meb Keflezighi to the podcast. The recently retired 42-year-old is the only runner in history to capture an Olympic medal and win both the Boston and New York City marathons. He joined me last week from his home in San Diego to talk about his career, the various triumphs and disappointments he experienced along the way, and just how hard it was for him to keep going after making his fourth Olympic team in 2016 at the age of 40. "I was burned out, not physically but mentally. I was done," Keflezighi admitted to me. "Those three marathons, to this day—and maybe New York was a little closer to satisfaction—but the three of them did not go the way I planned them, the way I trained. And I worked very, very hard for all three of them." We also discuss his role models in life—and why he takes the responsibility of that role so seriously himself—to his relationship with longtime coach and mentor Bob Larsen, the support of his family, sponsors, and fans throughout the years, as well as how he'll continue to make a living for himself, inspire others, and promote the sport of distance running even though he hung up his racing flats after finishing 11th at last fall's New York City Marathon. In the course of this conversation we cover training, racing, and injuries, including how he considered retiring after suffering a pelvic stress fracture at the 2008 Olympic Trials Marathon, what he learned from that experience about listening to his body—"One day off, or two days off, or a week off could have changed my life," he told me, "maybe become an Olympian again, or maybe another medal, but I didn't listen to my body,"—and how he was able to bounce back to post some of the top performances of his career from his mid-30s into the early 40s. Keflezighi also provides advice for older runners who want to continue competing at a high level, makes a case for why younger runners should wait until they're older to race marathons, and explains why he's so meticulous and deliberate in everything that he does, whether it's preparing for a race, fulfilling a sponsor obligation, or giving a speech. “People think you just run and run and run," he explains. "I wish it was just that simple. … I think you've got to do the small things that make a big difference and sometimes you question those, but you just have to go out there and get the best out of yourself every day and that's what I did.” Finally, we talk about the upcoming Boston Marathon, which he'll be running as an honorary member of the MR8 Foundation, who and what is exciting him about the sport of running today—"The women's Trials is going to be crazy in 2020!”—the legacy he hopes to leave on the sport, and much, much more. “I just want to be a positive example, a doer, someone who does things versus talking about it and never accomplishing anything," explains Meb. "I hope to be a complete person. I try to live by my name: Maintain Excellent Balance, and I hope to do that for the rest of my life. I try to do that every day of my life and not just when the camera's on." This episode of the morning shakeout podcast was edited by John Isaac at BaresRecords.com.

Becoming the only person to win the Boston and New York marathons AND medal in the Olympics, Meb Keflezighi stepped up to the challenge by remembering his father’s sacrifice. His father fled war torn Eritrea carrying only a canteen, stick, sack of barley and matches to ward of hyenas; Keflezighi is grateful for regular aid stations to ease his way. He and his family made it to the United States via Italy and through hard work and perseverance all became successes in their respective ways. Keflezighi details his inspiring journey in this episode.Lessons:    1.    Frame of reference can push you towards your goals. Running a marathon with the luxury of aid stations is nothing compared to hiking hundreds of miles through hostile lands to save your family.    2.    A goal bigger than yourself, that impacts people in a positive way, is an excellent motivator.    3.    It’s not about winning, but getting the best out of yourself.
