German Silva--Mexican marathon great (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In the latest episode of the podcast, "Running: State Of The Sport," George and Amby chat with German Silva, winner of the 1994 and 1995 New York City Marathons. Silva grew up as one of 13 children living in a small Mexican town without electricity. His father thought running was a waste of time. It was better to pick oranges in the local orchard. However, the young Silva fell in love with running, and ran strongly in the steeplechase and 10,000 meters before finding his best distance, the marat
Rod Dixon--New Zealand great (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Rod Dixon is one of the alltime great runners from New Zealand--a country that has produced far more than its expected share of top runners. This possibly extends from the influence of Arthur Lydiard, the immensely influential New Zealand coach from the early 1960s to the present day. [In this episode, George and Amby also discuss Yomif Kejelcha's half marathon record, Jenny Simpson's health update, and Ethan Strand's 1500-meter win over Cole Hocker and Jacob Ingebrigtsen.] Dixon won an Olympic
Pete Pfitzinger--marathon great, book author (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Pete Pfitzinger was a two-time USA Olympic marathoner, in the 1984 and 1988 Games.

Pfitzinger always knew how to get the job done, especially at the marathon distance--his speciality. Later he converted his experience and knowledge into a best-selling book, Advanced Marathoning, co-written with Scott Douglas. The book recently was updated
Paul Gompers--elite marathoner and Harvard Business School professor (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Paul Gompers has a long history in the marathon and in the pursuit of excellence. It's hard to imagine anyone more competitive than Gompers. He even owns Alter-G treadmills in two separate residences so he can work out twice a day. Gompers ran his first marathon in 1983 while a Harvard freshman. His 2:15:28 in Huntsville, Ala, still stands as an under-20 world record on a eligible course. Four years later, Gompers improved to 2:11:39 at the 1987 Twin Cities Marathon. The following spring, he pla
Bob Bickel--RunSignUp.com (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Back in his college days at Bucknell University, Bob Bickel trained 100 miles/week, and pushed his 10,000-meter time down to an impressive 29:07. Then he took his electrical engineering skills into the tech industry, and enjoyed several modest successes. Next he opened a running retail store in Moorestown, NJ, and a few years later decided he could improve upon existing race registrations platforms. He was right. Run Sign Up has become the dominant road race registration platform in the U.S., be
