Brian Sell, whose recent third place triumph in the 2008 Olympic Trials in New York landed him a spot on the USA mens’ Olympic team, is known as the “man who knows how to run that last 10K of a marathon.” Backed by a powerful network of family, friends and former coaches, Sell will pack his bags, shoes and growing reputation to hit the track at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing and represent Hansons-Brooks Distance Project and the United States.
Sell has racked up quite a collection of records and achievements, including: placing 25th at IAAF World Half Marathon Championships in 2003; membership to USATF World Championship marathon team in 2005; first place in the U.S. Half Marathon in 2006; Chicago Distance Classic Champion in 2006 (1:04:25); first place in the USATF 25K Championships; and third in the 2008 Olympic Trials (2:11:40). His personal best marathon was run in 2:10:47 in October of 2006.
Needless to say, Sell says he’s looking forward to the “hot, flat course in Beijing.”
Best of luck in the race! You have just as good of a shot at the title as anyone.

And I hope he sticks to his plan and doesn't go out to early and mess up his race. Coming from behind is so much better anyhow. I can't wait for Boston this year both the men and women's race!
Everyone knows one of the most important things a business owner can do is delegate and hire good people. Mark put Ryan where he is because Mark is a good businessman. Nuff said.
Be explicit about your question
“I know Flotrack has Mark's name on it, but Ryan is the heart and soul of the website right now. Every time Mark gets behind the camera, which is rarely nowadays, he doesn't seem any more comfortable than he was 2 years ago, Ryan on the other hand gets better every meet.”
Damn im going to crawl in a hole this weekend.
“Brian Sell's blue collar persona seems a bit manufactured. Working 20 hours a week at Home depo and then running hundreds of miles a week as a life a lot of really blue-collar, unsponsored runners would trade anything for. That is neither here nor there though.”
Great to see this interview!

Godbless you Sell
