You've seen him race, you've heard him talk. Now hear him talk about how his career began as a kid from Fort Worth, TX that hated track.

Nice interview.

Interesting interview. It's refreshing to hear a pro runner say what I've seen all through juinor and high school track, and that is for many athletes track is just off season training for football. The smaller guys usually pick track over football. If they have the speed and the size the draw of gridiron glory is too strong.

I think a lot of runners have a love/hate relationship with the 800m. It is pretty tough mentally when you come from the sprint side.

KD is such an awesome guy, really underrated

Zachary Fitzgerald 3 years ago

Despite the tragic irony behing him hating the sport, I don't think he explanations fares well as a proffesional athlete. People look up to this guy and he has just admitted that he doesn't really care for track and would rather the american cliche' we all know as football. It is almost like getting slapped in the face when an icon tellls you what you are doing is not worth doing. Because the truth is most athletes in America has never run his high school time (1:53). So for him to run that fast and even faster in college and still express his hate, one has to wonder why do the sport at all. KD is not America's greatest. I'm pretty sure you give it four years and his name will be lost in history. And why else do we run but to preserve our name. He even admits his self that he really got into track after his sought interview. That is not loving track; that is loving fame. KD is what is wrong with the few athletes who have natural talent. They face this horrible identity crisis in wanting to be the best, but they have an obligation to the sport with the speed God(or evolution) has bestowed. This interview is probably a high point in his career. His interview is a disgrace to the running community. I would love to sit one-on-one with KD and just tell him to give up. Blimey blope does not care; isn't that fast as a proffesional athlete; what is he trying to accomplish? I hope he does not have olympic dreams. It is dispecable for a guy this age to continually push his body to 1:45 shape. Go back to that grad school you want to go to, KD. Make a decision you would soon be happy with, KD. Most important, leave Flotrack, KD. No one enjoyed this. Where is my WOW? Henceforth all ratings to your video will be bottom mark.

Rate KD a 1!
Hey, KD tells the truth. I don't think there's a rule that you have to be obsessed with the sport to be really good at it.

KD Likes to win, that's why he enjoys track. He hates to train, but his love for winning overshadows that.

It's refreshing to hear a good athlete who is down to Earth and not pulling this "I am the most intense person you will ever meet" nonsense like Symmonds.

hmm pretty interesting...thanks for the interview!

Taylor 3 years ago

I find it funny how some people can run a time as stellar as 1:48 and still hate the sport, yet there are so many other people that would kill to perform at that level. I just find it ironic. Seems like a great, down to earth guy though

I seem to think the opposite of the first post. I think by admitting that you hated running/didn't train much in the past, it makes you look better. Like since you don't try and you still kick a ss.

Regardless, KD is the man, and by far my favorite 800m runner. That amount of emotion and intensity is what everyone should strive for. Good luck in Berlin!

Now THAT's honesty to say how much he hated his training and running track and how he used to slack off over summers. What an amazing journey to come from that to multi time national champion! KD is so likeable.
