Talked With Him   August 21, 2008 at 7:48pm
Had the chance to talk with Nick at the Boston Indoor Games. He said he's been trying a 10 cycle this year where he has 5 harder runs and his easy days in between are run super slow. He said it was as slow as 8 or 9 minute pace. He said he does do like 10 miles total or something. He was inspired by watchingthe Kenyans run super slow at European meets.

Willis can obviously run as slow as he wants during easy runs, it seems to work for him as well as other world class runners.

This run was obviously not done in the summer, but rather the cold Michigan winter. Nick Willis talks about what makes the Olympics than other big meets such as the World Championships. Nick has qualified for the 2008 Olympic 1500 Final in Beijing.

Watch Nick go for gold in Beijing on Wed, AUG 10:50am. (Eastern time in the US)
