Coach Cunningham is back!

After celebrating the marathon last fall and then again, Peter and Jeff are back to try and convince you to "play with running" and test yourself at the mile, 5k, 10k, or any other distance that feels like speed to marathon legs.

Check out more of Coach Cunningham's content here.

And please let us know what other questions or topics you'd like us to tackle in the comments.

In this engaging conversation, Haftu Knight shares his remarkable journey from Ethiopia to becoming one of the fastest marathoners in US history. He discusses his recent success at the McKirdy Micro Marathon where he ran 2:09:38. That performance made him the 22nd fastest marathoner in US history and the fastest Texas marathoner ever (he broke Alan Culpepper's record by five seconds). In this episode we talk about the strategies he employed during races,, his time at a elite athlete at the University of Texas, and the influence of his coach Jeff Cunningham. Haftu reflects on his training regimen, the importance of family and community, and his aspirations for the future, including competing in the Olympics. His story is one of resilience, hard work, and the pursuit of excellence.
