Olympic triathlon champion explains why London’s marathon debut is much more than 26.2 miles
Alex remembers the tribes that he will fall on the Levisham’s wife in Arena to qualify for the London mini-London marathon and present its local district. After that, the young people who struggled to fight three miles of closing the whole marathon road to compete for the closure of the old Billingsgate Mall, and in his age group from 2010 to 2015.
For a decade and one day, the 27-year-old child is now in the beginning of its first-year-old. The fact that he first set foot during his early days was renamed Alex, Arena, perhaps, best imagining how much it has changed for him during the intervention.
“He will be surprised,” says when they ask what the teenager will make his old self-achievements to this day. It is an impressive list.
You were once drowned as a frustration on the Farah, a 10,000 British champion, as well as a European cross-country medalist in 2018. However, it was through Triathlon that he first discovered the love of his work, and it was in that multi-crowd where his star was shining. He is the most successful Olympic triathlet, who has individual gold in Paris in Paris last summer, and in Paris, adding its mixed relay gold and individual silver in the same year.

“My only goal of leaving for London from 2010 should have run as soon as I could and have the best time I could have surrounded by people around me.” “Start sports just for the love of it and we still have to do that for the same reason I think it’s incredibly special.”
These preliminary meetings in the streets of London were important for early weather education as athlete, although he admitted that he was initially prioritized.
“I think that in 2010 and 2011, most of my excitement has probably come to Chinatown to have atmospheric money after the race, and that motivates me to reach the finish line.” She laughs. “To do this, I think I probably accepted it for the first few years.
“But when I grew up and started a small (for the main race), I began to estimate that this was more race.
“By doing some of the course, now I’m more afraid of them, because how incredibly difficult is it.

The profile of Yee, not to talk to his run’s ability, means that his marathon debut is a particularly fascinating story at this year’s event. Just as with a mini marathon, the idea of knowing more about his abilities is the central topic.
Anyone who witnessed his brilliant time, the Olympic gold in August August would not agree on the Olympic gold, but you claim that he has a job when it comes to his run. In Los Angeles, he does not rotate until 2028, he decided to shake a little chance to shake things.
“Find where my borders are,” he said when he asked what he wanted to go out of experience. “Postdropic games, I wanted to do something that challenged me and I hope I couldn’t get a chance to work for the fact that I was working the right time.

As someone who competes in the Olympic or Standard Distance Triathlon, it is usually a 10 km assignment that needs to be resolved immediately after having a cycling. His marathon mission means that he should run more than four times rather, but the event he has made his name is never far from his thoughts.
“I know that if I do the same as before, I don’t think I will get the same result because, in principle, I am three years ago than I was three years ago.
“I have to do a little differently. After all, the goal is to go to LA and be as competitive as I do it on different bits, I’m a better person at the moment.
“I have been very successful in Triathlon that I have been able to compete several times at the back end of the run, but I can also be in a position where I can achieve my limit. I feel excited about me at night and holds me to push me the envelope. “

After the afternoon, when you sit for fear, he admits that he feels a little fatigue. It is not surprising that the interview takes place after the end of 30 km, which includes 30 km long.
“I try to feel the best thing that the marathon will feel like,” he said. “There is a little unknown to me, but the more we can scare it away from it, the more understanding we have from my physiology and I hope it can be a little more than a little bit more.
YEE is in no case a routine marathon training program. Yes, he puts a little more emphasis on his run, but he not only ignores other two triathlon objects.
“At the moment, I’m doing about five hours swimming, eight to nine hours on a bicycle, then my run’s volume, probably in nine and 10 hours, so 80-90 miles.
“I’m doing my run a lot because I do a longer run, instead I do a few small double runs, and then I’m filling out the day’s swim and bike.
“It’s a low-volume program compared to the guys who run crazy distances, and it is interesting to learn and be a little unique and slightly different in my preparation.

I am a great fan of a man who has proved himself to be illegally guided by the example of the example, but it was Eliheude, who publicly announced his desire to meet with champion Triathlet. Both need to spend a little time in London, where Kenyan will represent some of his trademark words. There are philosophical reactions to Kipchoge, although when he returns to his thinking behind his marathon debut.
“I think we are doing our best when we don’t know ourselves and learn ourselves,” he said. “Learning is an important part of being an elite athlete, and if you don’t do it, I don’t think you’re able to make progress and grow.
“It’s great to learn about me, but I also put it in an environment that I don’t know much about.
“It’s a place where I feel like I’ll get my great growth and my most acceptance and hope to be able to return to Tsriatlon so that I can be 10,000 m.

In case you are different from the first time of marathon runners, of course, not only in his sports family, but his target time, although he is not going to make any extraordinary demands.
“If I’m honest, goalkeepers continue the week during the week,” he said, what he can have about. “But I would love to be that 2. 08 to 2.
“If I can do it who knows. Maybe I can return another marathon at some point, but we should see if I can show that at some point in the future.
“First of all, my mind is fully concentrated on a triathlon, but I think I can have many more things this year, and I have much more I hope I can make a good indicator.”
This indicator must make him the fastest marathon running in his family quite a long distance. Be parents both run London, and that he is going to get his own taste for the event that begins so near where he grew up. It is a particularly tempting perspective.
“What have you heard what I have heard that many other people speak of the atmosphere, groups with noise?” “I want to be absorbed as much as I try to run the best race.”
This time, covering a three miles of the marathon route will be a lot of other experience 10 years ago.
“I wonder which last 5 km will feel.” says yee. “(I won’t find it up) I’m the last 5 km. I’m looking forward to it somehow.
