Abdi Abdirahman: Insights into Running Excellence

To many of you, Abdi Abdirahman is a household name. He’s the
first American distance runner to make five Olympic teams and the
oldest American distance runner ever to make an Olympic team. The
list of accomplishments goes on. A few years ago, he wrote a book
called “Abdi’s World,” which chronicles his impressive career in
running, and that's why I wanted to have him on the show. In this
conversation, we discuss:


Not taking the sport too seriously as a strategy to stay
competitive.

Self-belief and why he’s never lacked motivation to be a
professional runner.

The importance of a team environment and the psychological
challenges of group workouts.

Rules to live by in running.

What’s next for his professional career.



Like probably everyone else, I found Abdi to be equal parts
generous, joyful, introspective, and excited in this
conversation. I hope you take as much from it for your own
running life as I did.
