Patrick Tiernan On Representing Australia For A Third Olympics, Training For Marathon | CITIUS MAG LIVE FROM EUGENE!

The CITIUS MAG Podcast with Chris Chavez | A Running + Track and Field Show

“I’ve spent a lot of my career getting outkicked in the last 400… The marathon is something people always wanted me to do, it was just a matter of when I was actually ready to do it. It’s a long way to run.”

3x Olympian for Australia and 2:07:45 marathoner Patrick Tiernan joins us live in Eugene. Pat breaks down his previous Olympic experiences, weighs in on the U.S. Trials qualifying system, why he chooses to base his training in the U.S. instead of Australia, his thoughts on the top Australian track and field athletes, why he decided to transition to the marathon + how his training changed, and more. Hear more from Pat in this episode of the CITIUS MAG Podcast.
