You continue to not ask for it, yet we continue to deliver this sub-par podcast. Maybe it's improving. Maybe it's not. Why don't you leave a comment and tell us how you really feel? Anyway, in this week's podcast we discuss the Stockholm Diamond League. Nothing terribly outrageous happened, which is perfect for the two blog boys.

David Ribich joins the CITIUS MAG Podcast after wrapping up his NCAA career at Western Oregon, where he won back-to-back NCAA Division II Outdoor 1,500 meter titles. He also helped his Western Oregon squad win back-to-back DMR titles during the NCAA Division II Indoor Championship. Ribich plans to turn professional by signing a contract in the coming weeks ahead of the U.S. Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Des Moines. How did he get here? How does a Division II kid blossom into someone who reached the 2017 U.S. 1,500m final and lined up next to Olympic champion Matthew Centrowitz? Ribich tells his story. We delve into what it means to have that Division II label? How does he zone out the 'Beat the Division II kid!' chants during races? What did it mean to win an NCAA DMR title by .001 seconds? Is there a rivalry between Western Oregon and Adams State? What's the best piece of advice given to him by some of his influential coaches? All that and more in this episode of The CITIUS MAG Podcast.

James Lim was born in Los Angeles but grew up in Seoul, South Korea. He returned to the U.S. at 16 years old and started sprinting at Andover Phillips Academy and was hooked on the sport. He attended Harvard, studied economics, walked onto the track team and served as a captain. While at Harvard, he convinced a friend to apply together for The Amazing Race. He was close to competing on that show but was asked by CBS to apply for Survivor's 36th season. James and I connected in New York City over lunch (so I could get some inside tips on how to get on the show) and then recorded a podcast in Union Square Park. On this show, we discuss: How he ended up on Fiji competing on Survivor: Ghost Island What is it like for a runner to compete on the show? Would Ashton Eaton be the best competitor on that show? How closely does he follow the sport of track and field and who impresses him the most? What tips would he have for me to win the show? How does he convince someone to watch Survivor and what makes more than just a reality TV show? Where does someone go to the bathroom when they're being filmed and stranded on an island?

For this fun episode of the CITIUS MAG Podcast, I decided to take a few minutes during Boston Marathon weekend to sit down and chat with my buddy Nick Roché. He's not a well-known name in the track and field scene but I'm impressed by his drive to chase an Olympic Marathon Trials qualifier while balancing a full-time job with Adidas. He ran in college at Gonzaga and got back into training recently. He shares what re-invigorated his passion for the sport on this episode.  “It was in the lead-up like Week 8 of a build-up for Berlin, where you’re not broken yet from the miles and workouts," Roche says. "You’re still feeling good and thinking, ‘Man, I’m gonna smash this thing.’ It hit me that this is something that I enjoy doing again. It’s been great ever since. Just trying to build off of it, get better each time and make the most of that race opportunity. I don’t think I did the best job of that in college because you’re racing so much.” Nick made his marathon debut at the 2017 Boston Marathon and ran 2:36:18. He lowered it at the 2017 Berlin Marathon to 2:27:25. “I think it would be completely outrageous to to expect a nine to 10 minute PB every single time but I’m going to train and shoot for a nine to 10 minute PB every single time with that said.” Nick is a very funny guy and I think this could be a relatable episode for those who balance full-time jobs and lofty running goals. The alternative title for this episode is two normal guys shooting the shit at the Sheraton in Beantown. NOTE: This was recorded before the Yankees started being very good. ------- This episode was brought to you by Maurten. Fuel properly for long distance races! we recommend Maurten.
