    U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials Champion Conner Mantz Updates Us On How Training For The Paris Olympics Is Going + Racing The 10,000m At Trials

    “It’s better than going out and doing a 10K tempo on Pre’s Trail and coming away with nothing. There’s no money for a tempo run. I’ll go do it in a track stadium with a bunch of fast guys, taper a little bit, come away with a couple grand or something… I’m like, ‘It can go bad 400 in and I can just step off, I get front row seats to a 10K final and I’m already on the Olympic team.’”

    Conner Mantz, 2024 U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials winner, updates us on how training is going for the Paris Olympics. He also shares about how he overcame an injury post Marathon Trials and reflects on last night’s 10,000m final. Conner also talks about why he decided to race even though he already qualified for the Olympic marathon. Hear more from Conner Mantz in this episode of the CITIUS MAG Podcast.

    “The fans really do love field events. They know a lot of our stories. it ‘s just unfortunate that it doesn’t get shown on TV as much. That's where I come in. I'm trying to find common ground so that we can get the athletes their love just as much as the sprinters and distance runners get.”

    Team New Balance Boston Coach Mark Coogan On Elle St.Pierre's Epic Season, A Potential New Balance Sweep In The 1500m + More

    “Occasionally we do a really hard workout, but most of the time we just try to stay even-keeled. Two months of consistent training is better than three weeks with two hard workouts but then you're taking a week off because you're dinged up or sore… We really thought, let’s run the 5K pretty hard, I don't necessarily know if [Elle St. Pierre] ran all-out when she ran 14:32, but we wanted to see what it felt like to run a hard 1500 a week later, because [Prefontaine Classic] was going to be hard.”

    Team New Balance Boston coach Mark Coogan joins the show after a strong first day of competition for his team. Mark shares about what training has looked like for the team heading into the Trials and what we can expect from his stars in the coming days. Hear more from Mark Coogan in this episode of the CITIUS MAG Podcast.

    Drew Hunter After Finishing 4th At The 2024 U.S. Olympic Trials 10,000m Final

    Drew Hunter After Finishing 4th At The 2024 U.S. Olympic Trials 10,000m Final

    “That’s what I was telling myself the whole time. I was just so committed to racing as hard as I can, and I was just like, ‘I think I can compete with those guys.’ I had that mindset the whole race. I was like, ‘I don't care if I get fourth, I don't even care if I get second or third and don't get to go.’ It was about conquering the disbelief that I've had the last few years that I could compete with those guys. So that was the plan.”

    Drew Hunter, 4th place finisher in the U.S. Olympic Trials 10,000m final, reflects on his performance last night, shares about the support he’s received since racing, what he’s learned since becoming a dad, and gives a few updates on Tinman Elite.
