No talent Grant Fisher, Grand Slam, Hocker vs Kerley, Tim Rowberry (Sifan Hassan's coach is our guest)
Tim Rowberry, who went from being a pace maker for the Nike Oregon Project to the coach of the unstoppable Sifan Hassan, joins us at 66:11 to discuss his coaching story and Sifan Hassan's amazing Olympic triple that culminated in Olympic marathon gold.
Prior to that we discuss whether Grant Fisher has a ton of talent (link), debate whose career you'd rather have his or Donavan Braziers, and then ponder who would win at 600m Cole Hocker or Fred Kersley (link here).
Grand Slam Track will launch in Jamaica in April. We break that down and discuss the mental side of running (book here) before Rowbery joins us. Show notes below with links.
