2:24 Marathoner Gabi Rooker Ahead Of 2024 Chicago Marathon | Olympic Trials Reflection, Progression From College Gymnast To Professional Running

With just days until the start of the Diamond League season, we're joined by U.S. sprint star Noah Lyles on the CITIUS MAG Podcast. Noah sat down with us while he was in Boston during marathon weekend to promote the Adidas Boston Boost Games (May 19-20). At 19 years old, Noah ran 19.90 for the 200 meters in his Diamond League debut. In 2016, he was fourth in the U.S. Olympic Trials 200m final where he ran a U.S. HS record of 20.09. We talked about his rise to sprinting fame and the decision to turn professional early. He never got a chance to race Usain Bolt on the track but shares a funny story about running into him at a doctor's office. Noah isn't one for "idols" in the sport and so he shares how he perceives his competition. Talk strays for a bit and Noah discusses how he watched 13 Reasons Why on Netflix with Jarrion Lawson + Noah's love for The Office. All that and more in the latest episode of the CITIUS MAG Podcast.

Desi Linden joins the show less than 48 hours before running in the 122nd Boston Marathon. The chances of an American woman winning the race has never looked this good in recent years. Linden will be running in her sixth Boston. She has finished fourth in each of her previous two finishes yet she enters with an underdog mentality. She says there is no pressure on her with the incredible depth of the women's field. We headed to a Brooks Running press conference and chatted with Desi briefly about that and more in a mini episode of the podcast.

MUST READ: https://www.si.com/edge/2018/04/02/gwen-jorgensen-triathlon-track-debut-marathon-goals-nike A quick bonus episode of The CITIUS MAG Podcast to get you through the rest of your week. Earlier this week, I released an extensive Q&A with Olympic triathlon champion Gwen Jorgensen. It's generated a bit of chatter online in a good way. If you're a fan of the sport, it's definitely something worth getting excited about: How a gold medalist in one sport translates into another with the lofty goal of winning gold again. In the interview, she addresses everything from joining the Bowerman Track Club, coming back after pregnancy, training with Shalane and responding to the critics that give her a zero percent chance of winning gold.  Lots that and more listen up but also read the full article on SI now.

We will return to regularly scheduled programming on Friday. The show will feature an interview with former Oregon Duck distance runner Emma Abrahamson, who is making a name for herself on Youtube and just accepted a job with Doyle Management Group. If you enjoy this interview with Gwen and you're looking for more interviews with Bowerman Track Club runners, we have the podcast for you on the CITIUS MAG Podcast Network.

It's a monthly-ish show hosted by Woody as he interviews his training partners and gets to know them through very candid and insightful conversations. There should be a new episode soon! He promises.

Patrick Dormer, but always known to me as Mr. Dormer, has been my coach for the past 10 years. He's the man that has served as a mentor for me within the sport and nurtured the passion that I eventually found after my mediocre sprinting days at Xavier High School in New York City. He has some ideas on growing the sport of track and field. I figured before we start the outdoor season, I'd like to introduce the CITIUS MAG community to Mr. Dormer as he'll probably become a recurring guest on the show to share his takes from time to time. He's not crazy. He's very smart and loves the sport. Hear him out.  On this show, we get a little bit of background on who is Mr. Dormer. How did he get into coaching and why he's stayed at my all-boys high school in Manhattan for the past 25 years? What's his coaching philosophy? What did he learn to make himself a better coach? How do you motivate high school athletes to run and get the best out of themselves? He gives us those details. Plus: Let's get drug cheats out of the sport forever, build a minor league system to develop track and field talent, fix some of the broadcast issues and lastly, let's stop shooting ourselves in the foot by scheduling a new relays meet at the same time as the Penn Relays and Drake Relays. Mr. Dormer uses his time to call for a boycott of the The National Relay Championships in Arkansas. --- This episode was brought to you by Maurten.

Ben True joins The CITIUS MAG Podcast with Chris Chavez to discuss his win at the 2018 United NYC Half. He takes us through how the race played out since I finished 33 minutes behind him and haven't been able to watch a replay yet. With his 62:39 winning time, Ben became the first American male open division winner in the event's history. He finished ahead of Dathan Ritzenhein and Chris Thompson on a chilly and windy morning in New York City. Ben immediately dismisses any marathon plans and talks but shares a quick story about how he's actually covered the marathon distance before and what his thoughts are toward the 26.2 mile distance.  Among the questions discussed: - Feelings about the race now that he's had time to process it. - The decision to race a half marathon - How and why he started working with Ray Treacy (also Molly Huddle's coach) - The Lone Wolf mentality and how he stays motived through solo workouts - What does he consider his best race ever? - Funniest interaction and story with a drug tester Listener questions include:  - What does he do to stay healthy? - Are oats part of his pre-race go-to? What's his favorite post-race meal? - Beer Mile: Hassan Mead vs. Ben True - What's the best place to run in Lebanon? - Favorite form of cross training when it's not skiing season? -  Responding to allegations from his neighbor on why the neighborhood smells of home-brewed coffee - Will he ever make a return to posting his workouts on Strava?
