Andrew Wheating's Exit Interview - A look back at his career & retirement

We kick off 2018 on the CITIUS MAG Podcast by chatting at length with two-time Olympian and three-time NCAA champion Andrew Wheating. He announced his retirement from professional running on Thursday afternoon with a letter to professional running. We caught up on Friday morning for a long conversation looking back at his career and what comes next for him. We discuss Wheating's magical 2010 season, where he ran 3:30.90 at the Monaco Diamond League. (There's some good first-person recounting of that race.) The time now ranks as the fifth-fastest by an American of all-time. But we take a look at some of the runners that have run that fast and what happened afterward in their career. Running 3:30 is no joke but does it take a toll on the future? "I remember telling a friend of mine to respect what you've run because it may not happen again," Wheating says. "To take it for granted, you can really miss out on opportunity. Keep that open-minded spirit. 3:30 is not something to joke about and I kept thinking 'Eh, it can be something that I can do forever.' Once you turn it into that, it starts to get a little harder and disappointment starts to creep in. I'm not quite sure why it never happened again. These things just happen. It's just a day I'll never forget." Of course we discuss the NCAA 1,500 meter sweep and the 2008 U.S. Olympic Trials. We'll break out a few more quotes from Wheating in the coming days but that was one that really stood out. Among the other topics discussed on the podcast: - Wheating's relationship with Vin Lannana and how it changed over time - What it's like for him to re-watch the 2008 U.S. Olympic Trials 800m race and what he prefers instead - An attempt to fake a rivalry between him and Matt Centrowitz - The hardest workout that he's ever run before that 3:30 in Monaco - Kobe Bryant at the 2008 Olympic Opening Ceremonies - The pressure that comes with a big contract - Wheating does race commentary on a hypthetical all-time U.S. 1,500m race between him, Matt Centrowitz, Bernard Lagat, Alan Webb, Sydney Maree and Leo Manzano. - His Mt. Rushmore of Oregon distance runners Wheating also takes questions from the listeners including a campaign for us to bring back puka shell necklaces. All that and more on the latest episode of The CITIUS MAG Podcast. ------- ------ This episode was brought to you by Maurten.

Molly Huddle discusses her final track season, marathon hopes, NYC Half three-peat

Molly Huddle is one of the most accomplished American distance runners in history and this weekend, I will lose to her in the New York City Half Marathon. Huddle and I caught up two weeks ago to discuss her plans for the race and the preparation ahead of her final track season. Last season was a marquee year for Huddle as she won the 2016 U.S. Olympic Trials 5,000 and 10,000 before breaking Shalane Flanagan's 10,000m American record in the Olympic final. We discussed that strange race and how long it took her to process the results before bouncing back for her marathon debut. We also talk about her feelings toward the marathon and when we could expect her over 26.2 again. Check out the latest episode and subscribe on iTunes.
