If you enjoy this episode, consider checking out my ongoing work on The Running Shorts Podcast.
Michael was a 4-time NCAA All-American in college and the first man to break 4 minutes in the mile for the Virginia Tech Hokies. While he did not reach his goal of making an Olympic team (and in this episode he shares the largest obstacle he encountered along the way), the number of people he’s helped through coaching might be his proudest accomplishment.
In this episode he talks about coach Ben Thomas and 3:30 man Neil Gourley, two huge names in our sport that Michael has been influenced by. We also discuss his 4 core training principles. Most recreational runners, he says, push too hard in training. Are you sprinkling in speedwork? Are you doing the little things to make you better?
