When I started this podcast years ago, it was to talk with runners and quench a curiosity for information from the best in the country.As a running fan I had questions that weren’t being answered, and I knew I wasn’t alone.  After taking an extended break this year, I found myself with questions again. Friend of the show Farah Abdulkarim absolutely killed it at the Music City Distance Carnival 5,000, setting a meet record, kicking down Ben Flanagan for a PB of 13:37, and the Ole Miss, Ottawa Lion was repping a new group on his singlet, Wesfly athletics, with some truly unique, revealing and entertaining Youtube content to boot.  So, I dusted off the old microphone, and had an insightful conversation with Farah, one where he talks about the ups and downs, his future in the sport, Tokyo 2021, being a student of the sport, and who he watches and looks up to. Truthfully, this one is for everyone training hard, looking for results in this great sport. Farah’s got the cool confidence of someone who is destined to do great things, and this is just the beginning, but for now, here he is in September of 2020, just after watching the Brussels Diamond League world records .

Episode 150-Farah Abdulkarim

Cliche dictates, overnight successes rarely happen overnight...and as tired as that turn may seem, there is certainly truth to be attached to that phrase...especially when it comes to distance running, where mere seconds are often only shed after years of mileage and workouts . It’s for that reason that I’m sure many across Canada and the United States were left wondering, “who is Farah Abdulkarim, and how did he run a 28:39 10,000 at the Mt. Sac Relays?” How did he go from being a 31 minute-mid guy in his only other mark, to being one of the best in the country? This week, we hope to answer that question as the Ole Miss redshirt and runner who came up with the Ottawa Lions, Farah joins the show to talk about his breakout, what specifically got him as good as he was, and the story of how he got to the line at Mt. SAC.
