Clayton Murphy is the 2021 US National Champ at 800m, Bronze Medalist at the 2016 Rio Olympics, two-time Olympian, and just plain fast. He's run 1:42 for 800m and 3:51 for the mile. We chat about his performances and experience at the 2016 Rio Olympics and 2020 Tokyo Olympics, his 2021 season, how he trains, and 2022 racing plans. Of course, we also have plenty of lighthearted banter in there about beef with Centro, racing Devon Allen in 300m, being a wine connoisseur, board games, starting his YouTube channel, being married to another Olympian (Ariana Washington), college and Labadie stories, and more. Follow @ClaytonMurphy on the Insta.
