Mo Ahmed, Ryan Hill and Evan Jager Live From Chicago's Heartbreak Hill Running Co. Oct 13, 2019

Show notes

Chicago! We headed to Heartbreak Hill Running Co. for a special live recording featuring Bowerman Track Club athletes Moh Ahmed, Ryan Hill and Evan Jager alongside Dan Fitzgerald, Chief Heartbreaker and Co-Founder of Heartbreak Hill Running Company. We spend the first couple minutes of the show marveling at Eliud Kipchoge's 1:59:40 marathon in Vienna. The guys share how long they think they would be able to hang with the GOAT and what impresses them the most about them. The guys share the stories about each of their respective starts in the sport, what got them hooked and then how they are using their own experiences to influence the next generation of runners through the Bowerman Track Club's programs with youth runners. Plus, they shed some insight into bridging the gap between the running community's general population and those who are knowledgable about the sport after a few days with Heartbreak Hill Running Co. Individually, Moh puts listeners in his shoes for his bronze medal run from the recent IAAF World Championships in Doha. Ryan Hill shares where he's been in 2019 and how overcoming an Achilles injury was able to set him up for 2020. Evan Jager details his injury-plagued year and what it was like to miss out on the world championships. All of that and more including the final four questions that we ask every guest, which yielded some incredibly funny anti-doping stories from the guys. ❤️ Support for this episode of the CITIUS MAG Podcast comes from THE FEED.

Berlin Marathon Takeover: Post-Race Thoughts (10 Min PR!) Oct 06, 2019

Show notes

Reflecting on the 2019 Berlin Marathon, where I clocked a 10-minute personal best to run 3:05:06. No sub-three hour marathon but I’ll get it next time. I'm really happy with that race. The best part about the marathon is that there’s always another chance to dance and I like dancing. 11-minute personal best by Ryan to run 3:05:56. Yosef clocked a 19-minute personal best for 3:10:54. Onto the next one! Thanks to everyone for their support and for following us on this journey. Back to your regularly scheduled programming soon!

Berlin Marathon Takeover: Meet Ryan Welsh Sep 25, 2019

Show notes

Continuing the series ahead of the Berlin Marathon, I'd like to introduce you to my closest training partner on the Brooklyn Track Club. The listeners, readers and supporters of CITIUS MAG have been super responsive in me sharing some of my own respective marathon training so we're going to try and capture our experience ahead of the 2019 Berlin Marathon through a series of four podcast episodes. Meet Ryan Welsh. Ryan has run maybe 80% of this training cycle with me and is the reason why I've set off on this crazy idea to chase a Boston Marathon qualifier for 2021. He shares how he found running after a career as a high school and college football player. Through his mother's inspiration, while battling cancer, he decided to sign up for his first marathon. After her passing, he took a break from running but then found it again. Hear how he developed a passion for the sport and then brought that same football-basketball mentality to chase his best on the track and roads. Yosef Herzog helps co-host this episode and was featured on the previous episode. ▶ FOLLOW RYAN ON INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/rwelshy12 He will be bib No. 71331 ❤️ Support for this episode of the CITIUS MAG Podcast comes from THE FEED.

Berlin Marathon Takeover: Meet Yosef Herzog Sep 19, 2019

Show notes

In the next two weeks, I'd like to introduce you all to two key friends and teammates of mine on the Brooklyn Track Club. The listeners, readers and supporters of CITIUS MAG have been super responsive in me sharing some of my own respective marathon training so we're going to try and capture our experience ahead of the 2019 Berlin Marathon through a series of four podcast episodes. On the first one, I want to share with you is Yosef Herzog. He's been called the "Magic Mike" of stage managers by the Today Show but way before he was preparing to try and BQ, he could barely tie his shoelaces without getting out of breath. His inspiring weight loss story has been told by Today and Men's Health but hear it in his own words. He was a volleyball player at Yeshiva University but that's around the same time that his diet took a turn for the worst. From double-fisting burger to heavy dinners, Yosef let himself go. Hear how the lightbulb turned on for him and got him from barely running a mile on a treadmill to two marathon finishes. Ryan Welsh helps co-host this episode. He will be the next guest. ▶ FOLLOW YOSEF ON INSTAGRAM: https://instagram.com/yosefherzog He will be bib No. 58169 ❤️ Support for this episode of the CITIUS MAG Podcast comes from THE FEED.

Matt Futterman on Running to the Edge: A Band of Misfits & the Guru Who Unlocked Secrets of Speed Jul 30, 2019

Show notes

"What I hope is that it's the book that can make you faster, make you love running even more and make you feel like you want to go out for a run – which people have told me and that's really cool that's the feeling they get." Matthew Futterman, the New York Times' deputy sports editor, joins the podcast to discuss his new book "Running to the Edge: A Band of Misfits and the Guru Who Unlocked the Secrets of Speed." The book paints an excellent portrait of Bob Larsen’s untraditional training methods and plans to really make U.S. distance running relevant again in the early 2000s with Meb Keflezighi and Deena Kastor. Beyond just being a running book, there are many life lessons in a great underdog story.
