Nate Jenkins is perhaps best known for his unexpected 7th place finish at the 2008 US Olympic Marathon Trials. But many runners have followed him for years as he's meticulously documented  his training and racing online -  nateruns.blogspot.com - where he also goes into tremendous detail explaining his training philosophy, provides sample training schedules, and gives all kinds of behind-the-scenes stories and reflections from the perspective of a professional runner.

In this episode Nate answers some questions that are mostly in response to things he has written on his blog. If you're not familiar with Nate, I would encourage you to browse his blog and get a sense of what he's all about, since we don't directly touch on his background in this interview. Also, you can listen to him speak in great detail about his college running career, his transition to professional running, and his epic Olympic Trials performance on the Morning Shakeout podcast, episode 108, from April 20, 2020.
