Awesome interview with Olympic marathoner Brian Sell over here. He mentions PBR and Hines Ward! FYI, my two mile PR in high school was faster than his...
I know folks love to get all worked up about Sell being blue collar ... but the dude was running 10:10 on 40 miles a week. You have to wonder what he would have done on training at say 70 miles a week - like HS phenoms like Sage, Ritz did.

"I know that I’d prefer a cheeseburger and a PBR to a soy latte or something like that."
Right on.
And your PR was?
9:50. If Sell can make the Olympics with his 10:10 high school PR, I think I'm a lock for a future world record marathon.
You were faster than me in HS too.

Yeah, I know he worked his ass off ...
I only did 40-50 a week back then, but it was all racing or speedwork. Recovery was for sissies.
Great interview. Thanks for sharing it.
Sell is right.....it all comes down to hard work. Maybe that is why I suck so bad!!
