William Fox-Pitt is one of the biggest names in eventing and one of the most successful, with a career spanning 30 years. He is the only rider to have won five out of the six CCI5* events around the world, including winning Burghley an incredible six times and Badminton twice. William has also won three Olympic medals, seven team gold European medals and was the first British rider to become eventing’s World No 1 in 2002, which he went on to achieve again in 2009, 2010 and 2014. In 2015, a bad fall left William in a coma for two weeks, but he still managed to come back to the top of his game and compete at the 2016 Rio Olympics, producing the best result in the British team with Chilli Morning. Now aged 52 William is a little more laid back, but as hungry as ever for success William lives in Dorset with his wife, ITV racing presenter, Alice Plunkett and their four children. William took time out of his busy schedule to give an exclusive interview to Charles Owen to talk about life, his horses, his career and his family. In this podcast he talks about: · Only being allowed to speak French in the car with his parents! · His first Burghley win aged 25 and how that put him on the road to success · The incredible horses that helped him stay at the top of his sport for so long · Teaching Madonna to ride and hanging out with her celebrity buddies · How he came back from his ‘freak fall’ in 2015 and why he never doubted he would make it to Rio · What keeps him motivated aged 52 and how he keeps in mental and physical shape · Why over analysis is the enemy of eventing · Why he won’t leave the start box without a neck strap · How he deals with his nerves when competing · The chaos and joy of having four kids · What makes him happy · Regretting blowing his winnings!

Welcome to episode 28 of the Final Surge podcast where today we talk to Olympian Kim Conley who made her marathon debut this past fall. We talk about her epic Olympic Trial 5k race in 2012, her incident she had in the 10k trials this year and we discuss her making the jump to a marathon this fall. Two weeks ago we had a conversation with Olympian Nick Willis and we are giving away two free boot camps to his Miler Method. The two winning entries from iTunes are MilebyMile and DAllen. Email me Dean@Finalsurge.com or hit us up on Twitter @finalsurge and we will get you hooked up. Kim we always like to start out getting to know a little bit about our guests, can you tell our listeners how you got started in running? So you started early in 6th grade, when was the point that you realized you were pretty good at this running thing and may have a future in it? At what point did you start looking at colleges and what lead you to to UC Davis? When you were running in school what were your plans, was running something to help get you through school or did you have aspirations of running post-collegiately. Probably my favorite race of yours was the 2012 Olympic Trials. For those who don’t know the story let me set it for you. You did not have an A standard going into the trials. And you needed the A to get to the Olympics. Julia Lucas had pushed the pace and you kept it so the A standard was within Reach. Coming into the last lap it was still in question if you would be top 3 and if you would get the A standard. Can you walk us through the last lap of that race? At this year’s Trials, you were one of the favorites to make the team in both the 10k and the 5k. You did make the team in the 5k, but in the 10k it was not the results you wanted when you lost a shoe in the race. Can you tell us what happened there and what went through your mind when you were deciding to continue or not? If you had made it what would you have done, both or which? You mentioned the US distance women are really deep, we can see that with the difference between 12 and this year with the A standards. What do you think are the big differences right now in women’s distance? Do you think women are training differently or do you think it is more of the groups pushing each other? You had a couple of 15:10’s this year before the Olympics, were you happy with the race at the Olympics or is there anything you would have changed? Do you think the struggle was something you did leading up to the race or just bad races happen? You made your marathon debut in New York this last fall, and you were coming off the Olympics where you had been training for the 5k. So how did the training have to change in the short time between Rio and NY? Did you know you would be doing NY before Rio? What type of difference were there in volume you did for your 5k work vs. your marathon training? What were your goals going into the race, how did you think it was going to go? So you have a marathon under your belt now. What do you think, you have a lot more marathons in your future? So when will the next marathon be fall 2017 or likely 18? What did you do well, that you would do again and what would you change in training? How about the race itself, What if anything would you have done differently? What did you do about fueling during the race? What was your diet like leading up to the race? For an adult age group runner who maybe has run a lot of 5 and 10k’s, what advice would you have for them on making their marathon debut? 2017 is here, we are one week into the new year. What are your goals for this year? What does a typical week this time of year look like for you? Rapid Fire... 5 questions in under 1 minute Favorite running book? - Wishing on My Fathers Star Current trainers you are wearing? - New Balance Fresh Foam Vongo Favorite race? - 5k on the road Favorite recovery meal or recovery drink? - Hamburger Your favorite piece of running equipment that is not your shoes? - Final Surge log Kim on TwitterKim's Website
THIS WEEK'S INTERVIEW If you need inspiration, are a coach of a gymnast who doesn’t quite get it, or need New Year’s resolution help, this is the episode for you. Chris Brooks has been through all the things and his message is very powerful. From the great Texas gymnastics tradition, he overcame personal tragedy and a horrific injury to make the Rio Olympic team at age 29. He had grip lock as a junior, but recovered and won an NCAA Championship at Oklahoma. While in college, his father, who got him into gymnastics and was a gymnast himself, was killed in a car accident. Chris was named Olympic team alternate in 2012. Then he made the all-around final at the Rio Olympic Games just a few months before his 30th birthday. We discuss: The full Cheeseburgers on Horse story The famous hug between John Orozco and Chris Brooks after being named to the 2016 Olympic Team. How he peaked and gave up excuses to finally make the Olympic team. Is the U.S. men's team really not doing well or is it actually improving? Was the judging fair in Rio? What does he think of the new changes to the Code of Points? His grip lock accident. (Article on preventing grip lock) Cheering hard: Did he ever get in trouble for being too loud? What was it like being coached by Olympic Champion, Rustom Sharipov? What to do about Winter Cup? Does he dislike being objectified (by the screaming gym mom's at Winter Cup)? The 2015 floor faceplant. Performing in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. His future plans.
