We open with discussions of the recent NCAA Cross Country Championships and Manchester Road Race then dive into all things CIM. Phil and Travis prepare for their duel on the streets of Sacramento as part of the California International Marathon and US Marathon Championships. If you are racing this weekend this is a must listen for the best last minute tips!

Nathan Martin is the fastest US-born black man to ever cover 26.2 miles. He ran 2:11:05 at the Marathon Project in 2020 to earn that title with a new personal best. He also finished 3rd American and 8th overall at the recent NYC Marathon, but based on the TV coverage, you would have barely known he was in the race. Fortunately in this interview, we get the play-by-play on his in-race back and forth with Ben True over the final miles. It is a riveting firsthand account, and we are proud to give Nathan the platform he deserves to share it.  Nathan, however, is used to not being in the spotlight. He's been diligently working to be a better runner in his home state of Michigan since discovering his talent in middle school. In high school, he focused on and was state finalist in the one mile race before being encouraged to move up in distance by his college (and current coach) Dante Ottolini. In college, he capped his senior year by winning NAIA national titles in the 10K and marathon (yes, marathon!), all in a span of 36 hours. That final college race kickstarted a post-collegiate marathon career that has now included two Olympic Marathon Trials, top finishes at US Marathon Championships, the big PR at the Marathon Project, and now a top 10 result at a World Major.  Nathan and his coach believe that making a US team at the World Championships or Olympics is a possibility, even as he splits his time coaching high school level athletes himself. In his own words, we learn where Nathan gets his work ethic and his roll-with-the-punches attitude, along with the values he learned from his coaches and parents along the way. We discover the source of his integrity, his perspective on clean sport, and the lessons he hopes to pass onto the kids he now coaches.  Nathan subtly drops truth bombs throughout this episode, and we couldn't be more honored to share his story with you.

Tyler McCandless ran a pr of 2:12:38 at the 2017 US Marathon Championships. He has also earned a PhD in Meteorology, an Energy Risk Professional certification, and has worked at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado.

Then, we turn to his perspective on clean sport from his time as an athlete to what he believes needs to be done to truly make a difference in the fight against doping in our sport. Finally, we cover his team's approach to the current pandemic and what they are doing to stay ready for the delayed Olympics next year, including some fun ways that fans can engage in their journey.

As we close in on the final weeks before Atlanta, we are joined this week by Gabi Anzalone, who ran the USOT A Standard at the 2017 US Marathon Championships at CIM. In true Gabi fashion, we got to talk openly about the challenges she has faced in the sport, balancing a remarkable real life schedule, and falling back in love with the process through the running community. In an hour of emotion, humor, and resilience, we were so grateful for an authentic portrait of a remarkable runner and human being.

The Miles to Trials interviews are going to be interviews with runners who have qualified for the US Olympic Trials in our typical interview format. Sam Roecker was kind enough to be our first interview, and we were thrilled to talk to her.
