This week we have a special double feature episode with 2 of America’s best marathoners.
Dot McMahan
Our first part features Dot McMahan, a member the Hansons-Brooks Distance Project with 2 top-10 finishes at the Olympic Trials marathon to her credit . She is also a mother with a 5-year-old daughter.
Primarily an 800-meter runner in high school and college, Dot has since achieved a great deal of success in 1/2-marathons and marathons.
Some of the key points included:
- Dot’s training as she has progressed in age and distance
- How motherhood has affected her running
- Dealing with and recovering from injuries
Ryan Vail
The second part features Ryan Vail, who is fast becoming one of the best marathoners that the U.S. has to offer, as evidenced by his recent 10th place finish at the London Marathon in a personal best time of 2:10:57.
A 2009 graduate of Oklahoma State University, Ryan is one of the few Americans who has made the marathon his priority event from early in his professional career.
A few things that Ryan and I discussed included:
- The importance of sticking with a training system in order to give it time to work
- The seemingly extreme amounts of running volume that he does in training and how he stays healthy
- The fact that Ryan trains alone and how he makes that into an asset for himself
