A great day for Meb Keflezighi. 17 00:01:04,140 --> 00:01:07,289 Rob Simmelkjaer: Hey everybody, and welcome to a special edition of Set 18 00:01:07,290 --> 00:01:10,380 Rob Simmelkjaer: the Pace presented by Peloton. I'm Rob Simmelkjaer, the CEO 19 00:01:10,380 --> 00:01:13,530 Rob Simmelkjaer: of New York Roadrunners, and today is the Champions Edition 20 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,649 Rob Simmelkjaer: of the TCS New York City Marathon. We've got all 21 00:01:16,650 --> 00:01:19,650 Rob Simmelkjaer: four winners from today's race with us, and they were 22 00:01:19,650 --> 00:01:22,860 Rob Simmelkjaer: incredible races. Three races came right down to the very 23 00:01:22,860 --> 00:01:26,700 Rob Simmelkjaer: last stretch in Central Park. We had two first- Time 24 00:01:26,700 --> 00:01:29,970 Rob Simmelkjaer: Abbott World Marathon major winners, and a major upset in 25 00:01:29,970 --> 00:01:33,120 Rob Simmelkjaer: the men's wheelchair division as well. On the women's Wheelchair 26 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,970 Rob Simmelkjaer: side, it was domination. So let's get right to it. 27 00:01:35,970 --> 00:01:39,900 Rob Simmelkjaer: We've got four great conversations with Abdi Nageeye, our men's champion, 28 00:01:40,020 --> 00:01:43,500 Rob Simmelkjaer: Sheila Chepkirui on the women's side, and then two Americans 29 00:01:43,500 --> 00:01:48,270 Rob Simmelkjaer: in the wheelchair division, Susannah Scaroni, and Daniel Romanchuk. The 30 00:01:48,270 --> 00:01:52,650 Rob Simmelkjaer: men's champion in the 2024 TCS, New York City Marathon, Abdi 31 00:01:52,650 --> 00:01:56,730 Rob Simmelkjaer: Nageeye from the Netherlands. Abdi, congratulations on the win. 32 00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:58,290 Abdi Nageeye: Thank you so much. Thank you. 33 00:01:58,410 --> 00:02:00,960 Rob Simmelkjaer: All right, so this is your fourth time coming to 34 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,230 Rob Simmelkjaer: New York to run this marathon. You've been top five 35 00:02:04,260 --> 00:02:07,320 Rob Simmelkjaer: every single time, but today was the day you broke 36 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,150 Rob Simmelkjaer: through for the win. What was the difference today that 37 00:02:09,150 --> 00:02:10,650 Rob Simmelkjaer: was able to get you to break the tape? 38 00:02:11,790 --> 00:02:14,790 Abdi Nageeye: Actually very hard lesson and a little bit sad story, 39 00:02:15,300 --> 00:02:18,989 Abdi Nageeye: because of the Olympics, I failed so badly in Paris 40 00:02:19,020 --> 00:02:22,410 Abdi Nageeye: for myself. I was able there to go for the 41 00:02:22,410 --> 00:02:25,530 Abdi Nageeye: win, but my preparation, I tried too many new things 42 00:02:26,340 --> 00:02:30,540 Abdi Nageeye: and two weeks before the Olympics I did 20K tempo 43 00:02:31,500 --> 00:02:34,230 Abdi Nageeye: with exact the same time that I did when I 44 00:02:34,230 --> 00:02:37,500 Abdi Nageeye: was in winning the marathon in April in '24. But 45 00:02:37,500 --> 00:02:41,280 Abdi Nageeye: I knew something is wrong. I just felt, oh my 46 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:45,330 Abdi Nageeye: God, I did something wrong. And you can't make it good 47 00:02:45,330 --> 00:02:47,070 Abdi Nageeye: because it's two weeks to go. You have to taper 48 00:02:47,070 --> 00:02:49,710 Abdi Nageeye: now. And I knew I was going there with two 49 00:02:49,710 --> 00:02:53,639 Abdi Nageeye: zero behind. It was so painful and so hard. Even if 50 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:59,070 Abdi Nageeye: I won silver medal, the previous Olympics in Tokyo in 51 00:02:59,070 --> 00:03:01,770 Abdi Nageeye: amazing way, but still it was hurting me so much. 52 00:03:01,770 --> 00:03:04,230 Abdi Nageeye: I was like, you know what? Let me go back to Kenya. 53 00:03:04,740 --> 00:03:07,800 Abdi Nageeye: I called my manager Valentine and Yuri. I told them 54 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:09,930 Abdi Nageeye: I want to go to New York, and they said, " 55 00:03:09,930 --> 00:03:13,020 Abdi Nageeye: It's actually already there for you." So I went back. 56 00:03:13,770 --> 00:03:15,570 Abdi Nageeye: Every day I was thinking about Paris, but every day 57 00:03:15,570 --> 00:03:19,139 Abdi Nageeye: I was training so good. Every track session was on 58 00:03:19,139 --> 00:03:23,490 Abdi Nageeye: the spot. And it's amazing, I tell you, that at the 59 00:03:23,490 --> 00:03:27,270 Abdi Nageeye: same time you feel something sad about it, but I 60 00:03:27,270 --> 00:03:29,820 Abdi Nageeye: was keeping moving every day. I was doing my training, 61 00:03:29,820 --> 00:03:34,260 Abdi Nageeye: my training, and I was here just for the win. 62 00:03:34,770 --> 00:03:38,820 Abdi Nageeye: I was telling Valentine, my manager, " Oh, I'm looking more 63 00:03:38,820 --> 00:03:40,950 Abdi Nageeye: forward for the next season." And he was like, " Abdi, tomorrow we 64 00:03:40,950 --> 00:03:44,130 Abdi Nageeye: have New York." " Si. I know, I know. But I think if I had three weeks 65 00:03:44,130 --> 00:03:47,460 Abdi Nageeye: more for New York, I would be in top shape. But 66 00:03:47,460 --> 00:03:49,680 Abdi Nageeye: next season, oh, I'm going to show you guys something 67 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,740 Abdi Nageeye: nice." But I did it today, so, in the biggest 68 00:03:52,740 --> 00:03:53,460 Abdi Nageeye: marathon in the world. 69 00:03:53,670 --> 00:03:56,010 Rob Simmelkjaer: It came a little early, didn't it? And so it 70 00:03:56,010 --> 00:03:59,580 Rob Simmelkjaer: happened all for you today. Do you think that what 71 00:03:59,580 --> 00:04:02,910 Rob Simmelkjaer: happened in Paris and you had a DNF there because of 72 00:04:02,910 --> 00:04:06,240 Rob Simmelkjaer: how you felt, you saved some energy obviously because of 73 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,040 Rob Simmelkjaer: that. You didn't have to expend the amount of energy 74 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,410 Rob Simmelkjaer: you would have if you had maybe won a medal 75 00:04:10,650 --> 00:04:12,810 Rob Simmelkjaer: in Paris. And so maybe compared to some of the 76 00:04:12,810 --> 00:04:15,570 Rob Simmelkjaer: other runners in the race, the defending champion, Tamirat Tola, 77 00:04:15,780 --> 00:04:19,500 Rob Simmelkjaer: won gold but wasn't quite there today to have that 78 00:04:19,500 --> 00:04:22,200 Rob Simmelkjaer: energy left. Did it help you, in a strange way, to 79 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,020 Rob Simmelkjaer: have not been able to give everything you had in Paris? 80 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,200 Abdi Nageeye: Absolutely. I'm very true about that. I'm very honest, I 81 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,140 Abdi Nageeye: mean, about that, because I was reading everyone and I 82 00:04:31,140 --> 00:04:33,539 Abdi Nageeye: realized, oh my God, here are the last six- year 83 00:04:33,540 --> 00:04:42,539 Abdi Nageeye: champions. But look at each one, the winner of 2021, oh 84 00:04:42,540 --> 00:04:45,419 Abdi Nageeye: my god, I'm so bad in names. For that guy, 85 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,830 Abdi Nageeye: I knew, okay, he can beat me in speed. Chebet, 86 00:04:49,890 --> 00:04:53,250 Abdi Nageeye: he had a little bit tough half year. Tola and 87 00:04:53,250 --> 00:04:57,210 Abdi Nageeye: Bashir, they finished the Olympics. Geoffrey Kamworor is also coming 88 00:04:57,210 --> 00:05:02,250 Abdi Nageeye: from a tough time. Even me, I had one month 89 00:05:02,250 --> 00:05:06,060 Abdi Nageeye: off, but I was like, I think I'm more hungry 90 00:05:06,060 --> 00:05:09,870 Abdi Nageeye: than them because when you win medal, all this ceremony 91 00:05:09,870 --> 00:05:11,729 Abdi Nageeye: you have to do, all this, all that. You go 92 00:05:11,730 --> 00:05:14,430 Abdi Nageeye: a little bit later, you become the focus, you will 93 00:05:14,430 --> 00:05:17,550 Abdi Nageeye: find later. And I was able to find the real 94 00:05:17,550 --> 00:05:20,160 Abdi Nageeye: focus in four or five weeks, which is even late. 95 00:05:20,820 --> 00:05:23,580 Abdi Nageeye: But still, I think I was more hungry than them. 96 00:05:24,060 --> 00:05:28,710 Rob Simmelkjaer: Yeah. The marathon season can fall out in different ways. 97 00:05:29,010 --> 00:05:31,080 Rob Simmelkjaer: Each race can have an effect on the next race, 98 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,750 Rob Simmelkjaer: and so sometimes the chips just fall into place for 99 00:05:33,750 --> 00:05:36,810 Rob Simmelkjaer: someone, and today they fell into place for you. And 100 00:05:36,810 --> 00:05:39,450 Rob Simmelkjaer: New York really seems to be a place you're quite 101 00:05:39,450 --> 00:05:42,690 Rob Simmelkjaer: comfortable running. What is it about this course that has 102 00:05:42,690 --> 00:05:44,820 Rob Simmelkjaer: brought out the best in you, not just today, but the 103 00:05:44,820 --> 00:05:45,960 Rob Simmelkjaer: other times you've run as well? 104 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,850 Abdi Nageeye: To be honest, from my opinion, three defeat. Because the 105 00:05:50,850 --> 00:05:54,480 Abdi Nageeye: other three marathons, two of them, I was defeated actually 106 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,420 Abdi Nageeye: at 25K, I think it's the Brooklyn Bridge. The long 107 00:05:57,420 --> 00:06:01,679 Abdi Nageeye: one. Chebet was flying there 2022. I was like, oh, 108 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:05,430 Abdi Nageeye: this guy's a leaf. And I tried to follow him 109 00:06:05,430 --> 00:06:07,170 Abdi Nageeye: and then at the end I stopped because I looked 110 00:06:07,170 --> 00:06:10,200 Abdi Nageeye: back and we had 150 meter gap from the other group. 111 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,659 Abdi Nageeye: We were sprinting there. And today even he was sprinting 112 00:06:12,660 --> 00:06:15,419 Abdi Nageeye: there crazy. I heard (inaudible) mile 420, which is 113 00:06:15,420 --> 00:06:19,860 Abdi Nageeye: crazy. So my goal was I'll not be defeated at 114 00:06:19,860 --> 00:06:23,310 Abdi Nageeye: the bridge, and my race, actually I was keeping second all the 115 00:06:23,610 --> 00:06:26,460 Abdi Nageeye: time. It was under 36 kilometers. That was my race. I was 116 00:06:26,850 --> 00:06:29,760 Abdi Nageeye: like, if I'm a 36, I'll win the race. So I 117 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:33,420 Abdi Nageeye: was thinking in term of cyclings, they have two big 118 00:06:33,420 --> 00:06:37,409 Abdi Nageeye: climb, let's say 150 kilometers, a hundred meters to a hundred kilometers to go. 119 00:06:37,650 --> 00:06:40,200 Abdi Nageeye: But some guys will say, if I survive that hill 120 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,080 Abdi Nageeye: and I don't let go of the group, I'll win even 121 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,420 Abdi Nageeye: if it's 50 kilometers to go. So me, I was like, even 122 00:06:45,420 --> 00:06:48,240 Abdi Nageeye: if the race have to start, marathon start at 36, at 35, 123 00:06:48,810 --> 00:06:52,710 Abdi Nageeye: I will be there at 36. The last drink. And I 124 00:06:52,710 --> 00:06:54,330 Abdi Nageeye: was holding, I think the last one to drink there, 125 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,479 Abdi Nageeye: taking my gel, my drink, and I was like, okay, my race starting 126 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,089 Abdi Nageeye: now and I'm going to win. So that was my 127 00:07:00,089 --> 00:07:02,880 Abdi Nageeye: two homework, and from hard lessons I have learned. 128 00:07:03,450 --> 00:07:06,719 Rob Simmelkjaer: I love the mental preparation that you had, the plan 129 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:08,700 Rob Simmelkjaer: that you had. I love the fact that you even 130 00:07:08,700 --> 00:07:12,450 Rob Simmelkjaer: talk about cycling and taking that approach to a marathon. 131 00:07:12,450 --> 00:07:14,040 Rob Simmelkjaer: And with the hills we have here in New York, 132 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,040 Rob Simmelkjaer: it makes a lot of sense. So clearly the mental 133 00:07:17,250 --> 00:07:19,860 Rob Simmelkjaer: game, you were on it, you were really on it 134 00:07:19,860 --> 00:07:21,510 Rob Simmelkjaer: today, and that clearly was a big part of why 135 00:07:21,510 --> 00:07:22,530 Rob Simmelkjaer: you were so successful. 136 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,560 Abdi Nageeye: Yeah, yeah, absolutely. And also another thing was I really wanted 137 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,710 Abdi Nageeye: any funny escapes, like last time with the Brazilian guy. 138 00:07:28,980 --> 00:07:32,130 Abdi Nageeye: So even if someone tries, and I know they are 139 00:07:32,130 --> 00:07:35,070 Abdi Nageeye: not the five winners, with the all due respect, they 140 00:07:35,070 --> 00:07:38,070 Abdi Nageeye: will be less league than me. But I was like, okay, no fun 141 00:07:38,070 --> 00:07:40,260 Abdi Nageeye: and games. I let them know I'm here and the 142 00:07:40,260 --> 00:07:43,470 Abdi Nageeye: group will come behind me. They will go again. I 143 00:07:43,470 --> 00:07:45,480 Abdi Nageeye: will close the gap very quick. And also like, you 144 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,060 Abdi Nageeye: are better close now than if you are with the 145 00:07:48,060 --> 00:07:50,730 Abdi Nageeye: group that are closing, even they have to use another speed 146 00:07:51,060 --> 00:07:53,190 Abdi Nageeye: when they're closing to us, that means we are running 147 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:57,210 Abdi Nageeye: easier. So I prefer that I put my closing earlier, 148 00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:01,140 Abdi Nageeye: my speed, than later. So I was like, no funny 149 00:08:01,140 --> 00:08:03,630 Abdi Nageeye: escapes. I will wait for the big guys. And when 150 00:08:03,630 --> 00:08:05,250 Abdi Nageeye: Tola was coming, I was like, okay, the race is starting now. 151 00:08:05,250 --> 00:08:06,510 Rob Simmelkjaer: Yes, yes. Exactly. 152 00:08:06,510 --> 00:08:09,480 Abdi Nageeye: So I was pretending like I'm commentator when I was 153 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,720 Abdi Nageeye: running. I was commentating myself in the race. I was like, okay, now 154 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,900 Abdi Nageeye: the big guys are coming. The real work is starting 155 00:08:15,900 --> 00:08:18,420 Abdi Nageeye: now. Chebet, Tola, Geoffrey. Okay. Okay. 156 00:08:18,420 --> 00:08:19,950 Rob Simmelkjaer: I love it. I love it. We should put a 157 00:08:19,950 --> 00:08:21,780 Rob Simmelkjaer: mic on you some time and let you talk during 158 00:08:21,780 --> 00:08:23,940 Rob Simmelkjaer: the race, give commentary while you run. I think you'd 159 00:08:23,940 --> 00:08:26,730 Rob Simmelkjaer: be pretty good at it. You're very, very good at talking 160 00:08:26,730 --> 00:08:29,160 Rob Simmelkjaer: about this. Talk a bit about you and your story, 161 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,110 Rob Simmelkjaer: for those who don't know you, as a first time 162 00:08:31,110 --> 00:08:34,470 Rob Simmelkjaer: winner in New York. You moved to Ethiopia, sorry, to 163 00:08:34,590 --> 00:08:36,990 Rob Simmelkjaer: the Netherlands I should say, at the age of six 164 00:08:36,990 --> 00:08:40,559 Rob Simmelkjaer: years old. What brought you to the Netherlands and how 165 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,890 Rob Simmelkjaer: has your life evolved since that time in your childhood? 166 00:08:43,980 --> 00:08:47,699 Abdi Nageeye: Yeah, first of all, I'm like Nomad. I'm Nomad person and 167 00:08:47,700 --> 00:08:51,600 Abdi Nageeye: my generations, my family were nomads, camel nomads. So they 168 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,251 Abdi Nageeye: were moving with their camels where rain was. 169 00:08:53,251 --> 00:08:53,581 Rob Simmelkjaer: Nomads. Nomads. 170 00:08:54,330 --> 00:08:58,590 Abdi Nageeye: Nomads, yes. And I still have that in my life. We 171 00:08:58,590 --> 00:09:01,950 Abdi Nageeye: had civil war sadly in Somalia. It was an amazing country 172 00:09:02,700 --> 00:09:06,329 Abdi Nageeye: with a dictator and we had a very bad civil war. So we 173 00:09:06,330 --> 00:09:10,740 Abdi Nageeye: went to Netherlands for better life and then I had a brother 174 00:09:10,740 --> 00:09:15,120 Abdi Nageeye: who decided he didn't want to stay in the Netherlands. So we moved, 175 00:09:15,300 --> 00:09:19,050 Abdi Nageeye: we went to Syria, when it was safe, in 1999. 176 00:09:19,290 --> 00:09:20,940 Abdi Nageeye: So I was still in primary school when we left 177 00:09:20,940 --> 00:09:23,910 Abdi Nageeye: the Netherlands, only after four years. We stayed there for 178 00:09:23,910 --> 00:09:27,689 Abdi Nageeye: three years. Then we went back to Somalia. I stayed there for 179 00:09:27,690 --> 00:09:29,790 Abdi Nageeye: two years and by that time I was like 15 years 180 00:09:29,790 --> 00:09:33,030 Abdi Nageeye: old and I went back to farming with my father. 181 00:09:33,450 --> 00:09:36,960 Abdi Nageeye: And I remember one day the farm was growing. Still, 182 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,780 Abdi Nageeye: I still like farming. So we had melons and maize, 183 00:09:39,929 --> 00:09:41,520 Abdi Nageeye: but then I was like, this is not the life 184 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:45,360 Abdi Nageeye: I want. You know? You have three acres, you eat 185 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,120 Abdi Nageeye: this next after three months you have to put it 186 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:52,980 Abdi Nageeye: again. There's no challenge. I want to go to school. I want 187 00:09:52,980 --> 00:09:55,260 Abdi Nageeye: to be a lawyer. I want to be something. And as 188 00:09:55,890 --> 00:10:00,480 Abdi Nageeye: 15, 14 years old, in the farm alone, with greens 189 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,220 Abdi Nageeye: and river and everything, and I was just thinking by 190 00:10:02,220 --> 00:10:05,280 Abdi Nageeye: myself and I decided to go back to the Netherlands. 191 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,460 Abdi Nageeye: I went to Ethiopia, to the embassy of the Netherlands, 192 00:10:08,700 --> 00:10:11,160 Abdi Nageeye: I told them I used to live in the Netherlands. My brother brought 193 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,740 Abdi Nageeye: me back. I want to go back. But they were like, " 194 00:10:13,740 --> 00:10:15,600 Abdi Nageeye: No, you're a teenager. You're not allowed to go back. 195 00:10:16,410 --> 00:10:19,290 Abdi Nageeye: You need a family." So I found a Dutch family 196 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,200 Abdi Nageeye: who were there in Addis for vacation. I met them, 197 00:10:22,500 --> 00:10:24,600 Abdi Nageeye: they're still my best friends. I was just calling them after 198 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,490 Abdi Nageeye: I called my wife. They were the second I called. 199 00:10:26,610 --> 00:10:27,090 Rob Simmelkjaer: Wow. 200 00:10:27,900 --> 00:10:30,645 Abdi Nageeye: Their kids are so they got Somalis names. They came from 201 00:10:30,645 --> 00:10:33,690 Abdi Nageeye: a small village, all white village. And they took me 202 00:10:33,690 --> 00:10:35,790 Abdi Nageeye: in their home and I know all the village there, 203 00:10:35,790 --> 00:10:38,940 Abdi Nageeye: everyone I know there. I stayed with them two, three 204 00:10:38,940 --> 00:10:41,400 Abdi Nageeye: years. And because of them I started running because it was 205 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:45,809 Abdi Nageeye: a typical Dutch birthday celebration. And a family member said, " 206 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,469 Abdi Nageeye: I hear you play football and you're very fast. You have a vocation, 207 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:51,630 Abdi Nageeye: so can you come run with me?" I was like, " 208 00:10:51,750 --> 00:10:54,300 Abdi Nageeye: Run? What do you mean run?" " Yeah, we run, we train." 209 00:10:54,300 --> 00:10:56,100 Abdi Nageeye: I said, " But what do you mean, like go to the 210 00:10:56,100 --> 00:10:59,520 Abdi Nageeye: field for two laps?" "No, no, no, we just go from 211 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:01,140 Abdi Nageeye: this place to that place.' I said,- 212 00:11:01,140 --> 00:11:01,471 Rob Simmelkjaer: Run the roads. 213 00:11:01,471 --> 00:11:07,470 Abdi Nageeye: ..." What is that?" That world was closed for me. I just knew football, 214 00:11:08,580 --> 00:11:09,450 Abdi Nageeye: Soccer in Holland. 215 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:09,481 Rob Simmelkjaer: Yes. 216 00:11:09,481 --> 00:11:14,459 Abdi Nageeye: So I was like, "What do you mean running?" And then Yantina, 217 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:16,980 Abdi Nageeye: the family, her mother, she was like, "Abdi, go with him, go 218 00:11:16,980 --> 00:11:20,160 Abdi Nageeye: with him." And I said, " I'm not going." Then he said, " There's 219 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:23,520 Abdi Nageeye: a small race in the the village next to us next week 220 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:28,170 Abdi Nageeye: on Sunday, come with me." And I went there and 221 00:11:28,740 --> 00:11:32,309 Abdi Nageeye: I literally wasn't warming up. I didn't do warming up. I was like, " I will get tired." So 222 00:11:32,309 --> 00:11:35,520 Abdi Nageeye: I was hiding myself somewhere. And then I started the race, 223 00:11:36,300 --> 00:11:39,510 Abdi Nageeye: the whole family came, the grandmother, all my family, my 224 00:11:39,510 --> 00:11:42,420 Abdi Nageeye: new family, and I was just thinking to survive that 225 00:11:42,420 --> 00:11:45,630 Abdi Nageeye: five kilometers, not to be embarrassed. So during the race 226 00:11:45,630 --> 00:11:48,210 Abdi Nageeye: I was telling the people, " How long is it going?" Or, " Which 227 00:11:48,210 --> 00:11:50,880 Abdi Nageeye: kilometer are we?" And they were seeing me, this skinny 228 00:11:51,210 --> 00:11:53,910 Abdi Nageeye: looking Ethiopian guy and all the runners, they know Kenyans 229 00:11:53,910 --> 00:11:55,830 Abdi Nageeye: and Ethiopians, they were thinking I was making fun of 230 00:11:55,830 --> 00:11:58,709 Abdi Nageeye: them, but I was serious about where's the finish and 231 00:11:58,710 --> 00:12:02,010 Abdi Nageeye: how long it's taking and I was just talking. And I ran 17 minute, I think, 232 00:12:02,700 --> 00:12:03,360 Abdi Nageeye: I win the race. 233 00:12:03,750 --> 00:12:04,111 Rob Simmelkjaer: You ran 17 minutes? 234 00:12:04,111 --> 00:12:04,112 Abdi Nageeye: 17 minutes. 235 00:12:04,112 --> 00:12:07,559 Rob Simmelkjaer: In your first ever road race in a 5K? 236 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:10,679 Abdi Nageeye: Yeah, with just gym shoes. And from there, oh my god, it was 237 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:14,520 Abdi Nageeye: love at the first sight. That small finish, sprint to the 238 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:19,350 Abdi Nageeye: finish, I still have the picture. And yeah, it was, 239 00:12:19,620 --> 00:12:21,780 Abdi Nageeye: wow. When the guy asked me, " What's your running club?" " 240 00:12:21,870 --> 00:12:23,730 Abdi Nageeye: What's your club?", he said. And I told him the 241 00:12:23,730 --> 00:12:28,979 Abdi Nageeye: soccer club. He's like, " What's the name?" He never heard that, but he wanted to 242 00:12:28,980 --> 00:12:31,170 Abdi Nageeye: hear a running club. 243 00:12:31,170 --> 00:12:31,171 Rob Simmelkjaer: Incredible. 244 00:12:31,171 --> 00:12:34,650 Abdi Nageeye: I never had a running club. From there, in less than 245 00:12:34,650 --> 00:12:38,370 Abdi Nageeye: three months, I decided to run full. If I want 246 00:12:38,370 --> 00:12:40,860 Abdi Nageeye: to do I go full for it. And I was like, I 247 00:12:40,860 --> 00:12:42,570 Abdi Nageeye: think it's my destiny. That's what I was looking for. 248 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:47,010 Rob Simmelkjaer: It was clearly your destiny. That's an incredible story. Amazing 249 00:12:47,010 --> 00:12:49,920 Rob Simmelkjaer: the difference that a person can make just suggesting something 250 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:53,579 Rob Simmelkjaer: like that. And now here you are champion of the TCS, New 251 00:12:53,580 --> 00:12:56,520 Rob Simmelkjaer: York City Marathon. And the club that you run with 252 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,490 Rob Simmelkjaer: now, an actual running club, the NN Club is one that 253 00:12:59,700 --> 00:13:05,429 Rob Simmelkjaer: has some pretty prestigious runners alongside you as well. You've 254 00:13:05,429 --> 00:13:09,120 Rob Simmelkjaer: run with Eliud Kipchoge, among others. What has being a 255 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:12,510 Rob Simmelkjaer: part of that and running with a guy like Kipchoge 256 00:13:13,170 --> 00:13:15,990 Rob Simmelkjaer: and learning from him, what has that done for you as 257 00:13:15,990 --> 00:13:19,110 Rob Simmelkjaer: a runner to mature everything that you know about the sport? 258 00:13:19,140 --> 00:13:21,990 Abdi Nageeye: It'll sound that I'm trying to get credit of Eliud, 259 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:25,140 Abdi Nageeye: but I think he was the reason I won today in 260 00:13:25,140 --> 00:13:28,530 Abdi Nageeye: New York. Because when I knew what I did wrong 261 00:13:28,830 --> 00:13:32,069 Abdi Nageeye: in Paris, I knew the training program of Kaptagat. When 262 00:13:32,070 --> 00:13:34,470 Abdi Nageeye: I was there with Eliud and Coach Patrick Sang, that 263 00:13:34,470 --> 00:13:38,250 Abdi Nageeye: was my program. That is the program I can respond well. And I was like, " 264 00:13:38,250 --> 00:13:40,890 Abdi Nageeye: Why I didn't do it?" And I did that program for 265 00:13:40,890 --> 00:13:45,959 Abdi Nageeye: I think 80%. The other 20% (inaudible) , but 80% 266 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,689 Abdi Nageeye: it was the way Eliud trains, he don't change things. 267 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:50,728 Abdi Nageeye: It's like why did you change? Look at Eliud. He 268 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,209 Abdi Nageeye: will win London in amazing time. He will come back 269 00:13:54,330 --> 00:13:58,001 Abdi Nageeye: and do the same what he did. Winning Berlin, (inaudible) 270 00:13:58,001 --> 00:13:59,910 Abdi Nageeye: , coming back doing the same what he did. Winning 271 00:13:59,910 --> 00:14:02,100 Abdi Nageeye: Tokyo coming back. Winning Olympic champ. I was there when 272 00:14:02,100 --> 00:14:05,190 Abdi Nageeye: he was doing breaking two in EOS all the time, 273 00:14:05,190 --> 00:14:08,459 Abdi Nageeye: for four years long. You never see him changing anything. 274 00:14:08,970 --> 00:14:11,550 Abdi Nageeye: And I was so, so angry to myself, " Why did 275 00:14:11,550 --> 00:14:15,270 Abdi Nageeye: you change?" And I was looking like I was taking 276 00:14:15,270 --> 00:14:18,960 Abdi Nageeye: example of him and I did his program for 80%. And 277 00:14:19,110 --> 00:14:22,500 Abdi Nageeye: so yeah, big inspire friend, and inspiring guy for me. 278 00:14:22,650 --> 00:14:25,950 Rob Simmelkjaer: Wow. It's just so interesting to listen to the learning 279 00:14:25,950 --> 00:14:30,000 Rob Simmelkjaer: process and you clearly have learned a lot. You've learned 280 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,750 Rob Simmelkjaer: from yourself and your challenges. When you have a failure, 281 00:14:33,750 --> 00:14:37,230 Rob Simmelkjaer: you take something from it. You've learned from Kipchoge. So 282 00:14:37,590 --> 00:14:40,740 Rob Simmelkjaer: everything you've figured out and you put together this win 283 00:14:40,740 --> 00:14:43,080 Rob Simmelkjaer: here today. I can't wait to see what you're going 284 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,170 Rob Simmelkjaer: to do going forward because you clearly have figured this 285 00:14:46,170 --> 00:14:48,630 Rob Simmelkjaer: out and you have the talent. What do you want to 286 00:14:48,630 --> 00:14:51,390 Rob Simmelkjaer: do next? What's next in your list of goals? 287 00:14:51,660 --> 00:14:54,870 Abdi Nageeye: Actually, I was telling my manager yesterday that I'm looking forward 288 00:14:54,870 --> 00:14:57,300 Abdi Nageeye: for the next season. I'm looking forward to running very 289 00:14:57,300 --> 00:15:00,960 Abdi Nageeye: fast times to win majors. I think I've got the 290 00:15:00,990 --> 00:15:04,680 Abdi Nageeye: formula now, but also Michael was telling me, he's a very experienced coach, 291 00:15:04,830 --> 00:15:07,770 Abdi Nageeye: he said, " The moment you figure out everything, it's almost 292 00:15:07,770 --> 00:15:10,320 Abdi Nageeye: your finishing time. Your finishing area. Then you got age 293 00:15:11,190 --> 00:15:15,720 Abdi Nageeye: when you finish because of the experience." So we said, " Bill, 294 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,510 Abdi Nageeye: you are a little bit lucky that you already tried so 295 00:15:18,510 --> 00:15:21,000 Abdi Nageeye: many things." I was never afraid to try new things 296 00:15:21,300 --> 00:15:23,910 Abdi Nageeye: and every failure I was coming back after every failure. 297 00:15:24,270 --> 00:15:28,410 Abdi Nageeye: So I hope I have three years with less mistakes and 298 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,260 Abdi Nageeye: that I can go with this formula for the next 299 00:15:31,290 --> 00:15:33,480 Abdi Nageeye: couple of seasons until the next Olympics in LA. 300 00:15:33,690 --> 00:15:36,690 Rob Simmelkjaer: I like your chances and I congratulate you on your 301 00:15:36,690 --> 00:15:38,670 Rob Simmelkjaer: win today Abdi.

After I did the mini 312 00:16:16,890 --> 00:16:23,100 Sheila Chepkirui: 10K, I had a privilege to go and start from 313 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:25,470 Sheila Chepkirui: bridge up to the finish. 314 00:16:25,500 --> 00:16:26,851 Rob Simmelkjaer: You ran the last 10 miles, right? 315 00:16:26,851 --> 00:16:26,852 Sheila Chepkirui: Yes. 316 00:16:26,852 --> 00:16:30,270 Rob Simmelkjaer: Of the marathon course when you were here in June to 317 00:16:30,270 --> 00:16:31,381 Rob Simmelkjaer: run the MasterCard mini 10K. 318 00:16:31,381 --> 00:16:31,382 Sheila Chepkirui: Yes. 319 00:16:31,382 --> 00:16:34,980 Rob Simmelkjaer: So you had a little idea of what was in store for you? 320 00:16:34,980 --> 00:16:39,090 Sheila Chepkirui: Yes, and I thought the course was amazing. I'm really 321 00:16:39,090 --> 00:16:41,010 Sheila Chepkirui: happy for the win today. 322 00:16:41,610 --> 00:16:44,850 Rob Simmelkjaer: Tell me, when did you think you had this race 323 00:16:44,850 --> 00:16:48,900 Rob Simmelkjaer: won? This was so close all the way through. There 324 00:16:48,900 --> 00:16:51,030 Rob Simmelkjaer: was a pack together for a long time and then 325 00:16:51,030 --> 00:16:53,370 Rob Simmelkjaer: really down to the last mile or two, it was 326 00:16:53,370 --> 00:16:57,750 Rob Simmelkjaer: you Helen Obiri, our defending champion, going at it head- to- 327 00:16:57,750 --> 00:17:00,390 Rob Simmelkjaer: head. When did you feel that it was going to 328 00:17:00,390 --> 00:17:01,170 Rob Simmelkjaer: be your day? 329 00:17:02,430 --> 00:17:08,220 Sheila Chepkirui: Around one mile to go. Helen tried to push and I 330 00:17:08,820 --> 00:17:13,020 Sheila Chepkirui: pushed and she was not responding, and when we were at 331 00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:18,510 Sheila Chepkirui: around 600 meters to go, I pushed and Ellen didn't come. 332 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:24,419 Sheila Chepkirui: And at 400 meters to go, I knew I'm going to 333 00:17:24,420 --> 00:17:24,720 Sheila Chepkirui: win it. 334 00:17:25,410 --> 00:17:28,080 Rob Simmelkjaer: Yes. And I was at the finish line and saw 335 00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:31,140 Rob Simmelkjaer: you come into sight and yeah, Helen was a good 336 00:17:31,140 --> 00:17:33,330 Rob Simmelkjaer: bit behind you at that point. So you just had 337 00:17:33,330 --> 00:17:36,959 Rob Simmelkjaer: that little bit extra. Sheila you've been knocking on the 338 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:41,490 Rob Simmelkjaer: door in major marathons recently. You're a top five finisher 339 00:17:41,700 --> 00:17:46,320 Rob Simmelkjaer: in both Berlin and London in 2023. You were sixth 340 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:50,160 Rob Simmelkjaer: in London earlier this year. So this has been coming, 341 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:53,189 Rob Simmelkjaer: this breakthrough. Did you feel when you flew to New 342 00:17:53,190 --> 00:17:56,369 Rob Simmelkjaer: York for this race that perhaps this would be the 343 00:17:56,369 --> 00:17:57,810 Rob Simmelkjaer: day for you to win a major? 344 00:17:59,790 --> 00:18:04,590 Sheila Chepkirui: I knew I was going to do well, but because Helen, 345 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:11,100 Sheila Chepkirui: Sharon, was from Paris, I knew they were a little tired. For 346 00:18:11,100 --> 00:18:17,340 Sheila Chepkirui: me, I was fresh and I knew I am going to do something. 347 00:18:18,060 --> 00:18:20,430 Rob Simmelkjaer: Yes, that makes a lot of sense. Just that little 348 00:18:20,430 --> 00:18:22,619 Rob Simmelkjaer: bit of extra rest that you had not running the 349 00:18:22,619 --> 00:18:24,990 Rob Simmelkjaer: Olympics, maybe it was what you needed. We saw a 350 00:18:24,990 --> 00:18:28,230 Rob Simmelkjaer: bit of that on the men's side as well. So 351 00:18:28,350 --> 00:18:31,080 Rob Simmelkjaer: talk about New York. This is now your second time 352 00:18:31,109 --> 00:18:34,410 Rob Simmelkjaer: ever here after coming this summer. Do you like the city? What 353 00:18:34,410 --> 00:18:37,919 Rob Simmelkjaer: is it like for you to compete here, to get 354 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,409 Rob Simmelkjaer: the energy from the crowds we have on the streets 355 00:18:40,410 --> 00:18:41,730 Rob Simmelkjaer: here? How do you like this city? 356 00:18:42,210 --> 00:18:45,148 Sheila Chepkirui: The city of New York is amazing. The crowd all 357 00:18:45,148 --> 00:18:48,570 Sheila Chepkirui: the way it was so amazing. Really nice to be here. 358 00:18:49,650 --> 00:18:51,869 Rob Simmelkjaer: I think you're going to like it a lot more now 359 00:18:51,869 --> 00:18:55,050 Rob Simmelkjaer: as you come away with this championship. Maybe you'll want 360 00:18:55,290 --> 00:18:57,690 Rob Simmelkjaer: to come back. And I want to hear about your 361 00:18:57,690 --> 00:19:00,119 Rob Simmelkjaer: life in Kenya. This is the first time I've met 362 00:19:00,510 --> 00:19:04,050 Rob Simmelkjaer: a champion of a marathon who is also an active 363 00:19:04,050 --> 00:19:07,290 Rob Simmelkjaer: member of the military. You are a corporal in the 364 00:19:07,290 --> 00:19:09,030 Rob Simmelkjaer: Kenyan Defense Force, is that right? 365 00:19:09,180 --> 00:19:10,200 Sheila Chepkirui: Yes, that's right. 366 00:19:10,290 --> 00:19:11,160 Rob Simmelkjaer: What is your job? 367 00:19:13,290 --> 00:19:22,920 Sheila Chepkirui: In Kenya I joined KDF forces through sports. They employed 368 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:30,540 Sheila Chepkirui: me because I was an athlete. So in KDF I'm 369 00:19:30,540 --> 00:19:37,619 Sheila Chepkirui: in the sights of sports and they support us. They give 370 00:19:37,619 --> 00:19:42,300 Sheila Chepkirui: us time for training and I'm grateful to defend forces. 371 00:19:42,390 --> 00:19:44,310 Rob Simmelkjaer: Yeah, I was going to say it must be so 372 00:19:44,310 --> 00:19:46,740 Rob Simmelkjaer: hard to balance those things, but you really are using 373 00:19:46,740 --> 00:19:49,830 Rob Simmelkjaer: your success in sports to help train people in the 374 00:19:49,830 --> 00:19:52,139 Rob Simmelkjaer: military, which makes a lot of sense. It's going to 375 00:19:52,140 --> 00:19:54,060 Rob Simmelkjaer: be very exciting for you now to come back to 376 00:19:54,060 --> 00:19:57,330 Rob Simmelkjaer: Kenya, not just with your family, your six- year- old 377 00:19:57,330 --> 00:20:00,090 Rob Simmelkjaer: daughter as well, but also with your fellow members of 378 00:20:00,090 --> 00:20:03,840 Rob Simmelkjaer: the military. And what about your daughter and your husband 379 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:05,520 Rob Simmelkjaer: back home? Have you had a chance to communicate with them at 380 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:06,869 Rob Simmelkjaer: all since he won the race? 381 00:20:06,869 --> 00:20:09,479 Sheila Chepkirui: Yes I have. They are so excited. 382 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,869 Rob Simmelkjaer: I can imagine. I can imagine how excited they must 383 00:20:12,869 --> 00:20:15,270 Rob Simmelkjaer: be. And I know it hasn't been easy for you 384 00:20:15,450 --> 00:20:17,879 Rob Simmelkjaer: to get to New York. You had some immigration problems 385 00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:19,410 Rob Simmelkjaer: in the past, but we were able to get you 386 00:20:19,410 --> 00:20:21,689 Rob Simmelkjaer: here. And so maybe next time you come back and 387 00:20:21,690 --> 00:20:24,450 Rob Simmelkjaer: defend your championship here, you can bring your family along 388 00:20:24,450 --> 00:20:24,898 Rob Simmelkjaer: as well. 389 00:20:25,530 --> 00:20:26,100 Sheila Chepkirui: Of course, yes. 390 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,609 Rob Simmelkjaer: It must be so exciting. And this was clearly a 391 00:20:29,609 --> 00:20:31,949 Rob Simmelkjaer: race you dug deep for, right? You really had to 392 00:20:31,950 --> 00:20:36,209 Rob Simmelkjaer: find everything deep down inside to win this. What do you 393 00:20:36,210 --> 00:20:38,400 Rob Simmelkjaer: think this will mean for you in the future as 394 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,460 Rob Simmelkjaer: you look ahead to your career? Do you think this 395 00:20:41,460 --> 00:20:44,129 Rob Simmelkjaer: will help you build on this and maybe become a 396 00:20:44,130 --> 00:20:46,080 Rob Simmelkjaer: multi major winner? What do you want to do next? 397 00:20:46,410 --> 00:20:57,389 Sheila Chepkirui: Yes, this is so... I'm so happy. This is a milestone. This 398 00:20:57,780 --> 00:21:07,260 Sheila Chepkirui: keep me moving for more wins in the future. So I have to go back and work extra hard. 399 00:21:07,710 --> 00:21:10,590 Rob Simmelkjaer: Because it's not easy when you are a Kenyan marathon 400 00:21:10,590 --> 00:21:14,400 Rob Simmelkjaer: runner to break through. I mean, there are so much 401 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:18,300 Rob Simmelkjaer: talent in this sport in your country that so much 402 00:21:18,300 --> 00:21:22,230 Rob Simmelkjaer: of your competition is your country women, right? Your fellow 403 00:21:22,230 --> 00:21:25,169 Rob Simmelkjaer: Kenyans. So to win one and to win it over 404 00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,619 Rob Simmelkjaer: someone like Helen Obiri, right, it has to be something 405 00:21:28,619 --> 00:21:31,410 Rob Simmelkjaer: that can give you a lot more confidence stepping up 406 00:21:31,410 --> 00:21:33,030 Rob Simmelkjaer: and running more races against them. 407 00:21:33,690 --> 00:21:40,320 Sheila Chepkirui: Yes, in Kenya we are so many strong female athletes. So for 408 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:44,970 Sheila Chepkirui: me, I'll go and work extra hard, no sleeping, a 409 00:21:44,970 --> 00:21:47,730 Sheila Chepkirui: lot of sacrifices. I have to do a lot of sacrifices. 410 00:21:47,730 --> 00:21:51,119 Rob Simmelkjaer: Well, I think you've earned a little bit of sleep 411 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,460 Rob Simmelkjaer: tonight and maybe over the next week or so. So 412 00:21:53,460 --> 00:21:56,910 Rob Simmelkjaer: we'll see you at the celebration dinner and hopefully you get a really 413 00:21:56,910 --> 00:22:00,840 Rob Simmelkjaer: good rest before you head home to Kenya. Congratulations Sheila. 414 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:02,730 Rob Simmelkjaer: We're so thrilled to have you as our new champion. 415 00:22:02,730 --> 00:22:03,270 Sheila Chepkirui: Thank you. 416 00:22:04,410 --> 00:22:07,890 Rob Simmelkjaer: It was a dominant win in the women's wheelchair division 417 00:22:07,890 --> 00:22:11,700 Rob Simmelkjaer: for American Susannah Scaroni. She joins us now on Set 418 00:22:11,700 --> 00:22:15,359 Rob Simmelkjaer: the Pace. Susanna, incredible win. Congratulations. 419 00:22:15,420 --> 00:22:15,421 Susannah Scaroni: Thank you so much. 420 00:22:15,421 --> 00:22:19,379 Rob Simmelkjaer: So you just ran away and hid with this race. 421 00:22:19,380 --> 00:22:22,050 Rob Simmelkjaer: You came out of the gate hot and you just 422 00:22:22,050 --> 00:22:26,070 Rob Simmelkjaer: never looked back. What was it inside you today that 423 00:22:26,070 --> 00:22:28,650 Rob Simmelkjaer: allowed you to just go out and dominate this really 424 00:22:28,650 --> 00:22:29,580 Rob Simmelkjaer: talented field? 425 00:22:29,730 --> 00:22:35,160 Susannah Scaroni: Yeah, honestly, I've been feeling so good the last several 426 00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:38,550 Susannah Scaroni: months. Thankfully in Paris I felt pretty good. I did 427 00:22:38,550 --> 00:22:40,830 Susannah Scaroni: get a little sick while I was there, but then 428 00:22:40,859 --> 00:22:44,909 Susannah Scaroni: for Berlin I felt awesome. Chicago I felt so good, 429 00:22:44,910 --> 00:22:46,680 Susannah Scaroni: but I ended up getting a flat tire in mile 430 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,859 Susannah Scaroni: three. So I think with how good I felt in 431 00:22:49,859 --> 00:22:53,760 Susannah Scaroni: Chicago and having to not have the performance I was 432 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,760 Susannah Scaroni: hoping for there, and then back in the spring not 433 00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,129 Susannah Scaroni: to have a great performance, or I actually had to 434 00:22:59,130 --> 00:23:02,100 Susannah Scaroni: pull out of Boston and London due to a shoulder 435 00:23:02,100 --> 00:23:05,250 Susannah Scaroni: injury, and this was the last major of the year 436 00:23:05,250 --> 00:23:07,920 Susannah Scaroni: and I was like, I just prayed so much that 437 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:09,780 Susannah Scaroni: I could just show what my body could do today 438 00:23:10,050 --> 00:23:12,330 Susannah Scaroni: and I wanted to see what it could do the 439 00:23:12,330 --> 00:23:12,690 Susannah Scaroni: whole time. 440 00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:15,421 Rob Simmelkjaer: Yeah, clearly the shoulder's feeling better. Based on the way- 441 00:23:15,421 --> 00:23:15,422 Susannah Scaroni: Yeah. 442 00:23:15,422 --> 00:23:18,389 Rob Simmelkjaer: ... you performed today. This is two wins in New 443 00:23:18,390 --> 00:23:21,510 Rob Simmelkjaer: York in three years for you. What were you able 444 00:23:21,510 --> 00:23:24,810 Rob Simmelkjaer: to draw on from your win here two years ago 445 00:23:24,810 --> 00:23:25,710 Rob Simmelkjaer: to help you out today? 446 00:23:26,430 --> 00:23:29,580 Susannah Scaroni: Yeah, that's a great question. So two years ago we 447 00:23:29,580 --> 00:23:32,760 Susannah Scaroni: had sort of opposite wind where most of the race 448 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:36,030 Susannah Scaroni: was more of a tailwind and it really was the 449 00:23:36,030 --> 00:23:39,000 Susannah Scaroni: last six miles, especially fifth ave, where you were faced 450 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:42,180 Susannah Scaroni: with a huge wind. And I remember despite the fact 451 00:23:42,180 --> 00:23:44,220 Susannah Scaroni: that I was leading, you never know what can happen. 452 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:48,929 Susannah Scaroni: I was dead those last six miles. And today, I 453 00:23:48,930 --> 00:23:52,080 Susannah Scaroni: knew the wind was... We had a pretty decent wind, 454 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,510 Susannah Scaroni: not terrible, but a decent wind, the whole race until 455 00:23:54,510 --> 00:23:56,879 Susannah Scaroni: the end. So today I knew that when I got 456 00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,399 Susannah Scaroni: to 20 I was going to have a little bit 457 00:23:59,430 --> 00:24:01,920 Susannah Scaroni: more favorable conditions. So at least I had that kind 458 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:03,240 Susannah Scaroni: of experience. I knew it would be a little bit 459 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:06,420 Susannah Scaroni: different and I was so thankful to have a tailwind 460 00:24:06,420 --> 00:24:07,080 Susannah Scaroni: on Fifth Avenue. 461 00:24:07,350 --> 00:24:10,830 Rob Simmelkjaer: Yeah, absolutely. When you're out there by yourself as much 462 00:24:10,830 --> 00:24:13,230 Rob Simmelkjaer: as you were today, and you were alone most of 463 00:24:13,230 --> 00:24:16,200 Rob Simmelkjaer: the race, what are you able to draw on to 464 00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,869 Rob Simmelkjaer: motivate? You had some great crowds out there today, I'm 465 00:24:18,869 --> 00:24:19,080 Rob Simmelkjaer: sure that helped. 466 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:22,109 Susannah Scaroni: Yeah. There were incredible crowds and I always draw on the 467 00:24:22,109 --> 00:24:26,369 Susannah Scaroni: crowd. That's so nice. And for me personally, I love 468 00:24:26,369 --> 00:24:28,140 Susannah Scaroni: watching my speed and seeing, okay, how can I make 469 00:24:28,140 --> 00:24:31,500 Susannah Scaroni: this pace feel a little easier? So I'm all about 470 00:24:31,650 --> 00:24:35,369 Susannah Scaroni: economy and it's kind of a thing that I've always 471 00:24:35,850 --> 00:24:39,119 Susannah Scaroni: been drawn to. And so, I love pushing by myself 472 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:41,280 Susannah Scaroni: in some ways just to try and see what can 473 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:43,410 Susannah Scaroni: I do to make this a little faster and feel 474 00:24:43,410 --> 00:24:44,070 Susannah Scaroni: a little bit better. 475 00:24:44,790 --> 00:24:49,260 Rob Simmelkjaer: You are really becoming quite the successful athlete here in 476 00:24:49,260 --> 00:24:51,570 Rob Simmelkjaer: New York. Not just the Marathon wins, but the United 477 00:24:51,570 --> 00:24:55,543 Rob Simmelkjaer: Airlines NYC half, the MasterCard Mini 10K. You think maybe 478 00:24:55,545 --> 00:24:58,138 Rob Simmelkjaer: you'll get a place here? I mean maybe you should become 479 00:24:59,190 --> 00:25:02,040 Rob Simmelkjaer: a resident or at least get a little address here. 480 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:02,281 Rob Simmelkjaer: What do you think? 481 00:25:02,281 --> 00:25:06,720 Susannah Scaroni: I know. I will say that food options are a lot 482 00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:08,220 Susannah Scaroni: better in New York City than they are in Champaign, 483 00:25:08,220 --> 00:25:12,420 Susannah Scaroni: Illinois. And so we'll see about that. Dorian keeps me here 484 00:25:12,420 --> 00:25:14,730 Susannah Scaroni: a lot though. So grateful for the chance to come 485 00:25:14,730 --> 00:25:15,179 Susannah Scaroni: here and race. 486 00:25:15,420 --> 00:25:17,910 Rob Simmelkjaer: We love having you here. And what does it mean 487 00:25:17,910 --> 00:25:19,830 Rob Simmelkjaer: for you? We've had a chance to talk so many 488 00:25:19,830 --> 00:25:22,950 Rob Simmelkjaer: times. We've loved having you on the podcast. I've seen 489 00:25:22,950 --> 00:25:26,730 Rob Simmelkjaer: you at so many majors. You're such an inspiration for 490 00:25:26,970 --> 00:25:30,660 Rob Simmelkjaer: so many young athletes. You have actually helped with our 491 00:25:30,660 --> 00:25:33,629 Rob Simmelkjaer: wheelchair training program at New York Roadrunners and helping to 492 00:25:33,630 --> 00:25:38,160 Rob Simmelkjaer: inspire young girls and boys to enter this sport. What 493 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:40,260 Rob Simmelkjaer: does it mean for you to put up yet another 494 00:25:40,260 --> 00:25:43,830 Rob Simmelkjaer: win here in New York and what kind of feedback 495 00:25:43,830 --> 00:25:46,500 Rob Simmelkjaer: do you get from young people when you have these successes? 496 00:25:46,859 --> 00:25:49,590 Susannah Scaroni: Yeah. I think first of all, racing in New York 497 00:25:49,590 --> 00:25:52,889 Susannah Scaroni: City is like racing at the Paralympic games in terms 498 00:25:52,890 --> 00:25:57,660 Susannah Scaroni: of the field and just the respect that we have 499 00:25:57,660 --> 00:26:00,330 Susannah Scaroni: as athletes I would say. And so a win here 500 00:26:00,330 --> 00:26:03,600 Susannah Scaroni: is always something that's extremely special, especially at the full 501 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:08,490 Susannah Scaroni: marathon. And I know after having gone through life as 502 00:26:08,490 --> 00:26:10,740 Susannah Scaroni: a kid with a disability on a sports team, the 503 00:26:10,740 --> 00:26:14,340 Susannah Scaroni: athletes that you really do kind of see more often 504 00:26:14,340 --> 00:26:16,800 Susannah Scaroni: are the ones that have had some success. And so 505 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,619 Susannah Scaroni: I know how much that those athletes inspired me as 506 00:26:19,619 --> 00:26:23,970 Susannah Scaroni: a kid, and so it's just so refreshing to just 507 00:26:23,970 --> 00:26:27,840 Susannah Scaroni: know that the sport is progressing, more and more people 508 00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,359 Susannah Scaroni: and kids are seeing it and that is something I'm 509 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:31,140 Susannah Scaroni: very grateful for. 510 00:26:31,530 --> 00:26:33,359 Rob Simmelkjaer: Where do you go from here? Are you going to 511 00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:34,800 Rob Simmelkjaer: race a lot more through the end of the year or are you going to take a little time off? 512 00:26:36,150 --> 00:26:37,650 Susannah Scaroni: I don't know if I'd say race is the right 513 00:26:37,650 --> 00:26:40,170 Susannah Scaroni: word, but I will be competing at the Boston half 514 00:26:40,170 --> 00:26:43,215 Susannah Scaroni: next weekend with my mother- in- law, who is trying 515 00:26:43,215 --> 00:26:44,669 Susannah Scaroni: to do a half in every state, which will be 516 00:26:44,670 --> 00:26:44,911 Susannah Scaroni: really fun. 517 00:26:44,911 --> 00:26:45,211 Rob Simmelkjaer: Cool. 518 00:26:45,780 --> 00:26:49,380 Susannah Scaroni: And then after that, the next weekend I go to 519 00:26:49,380 --> 00:26:54,000 Susannah Scaroni: Japan for a full marathon. And that's, I'm going to take 520 00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:57,270 Susannah Scaroni: it as a fun, sort of fun marathon. So then 521 00:26:57,300 --> 00:26:59,609 Susannah Scaroni: after that I will have an end to my racing season. 522 00:26:59,609 --> 00:27:03,359 Rob Simmelkjaer: All right, well you have earned a little fun. 523 00:27:03,450 --> 00:27:03,540 Susannah Scaroni: Yeah. 524 00:27:03,540 --> 00:27:07,380 Rob Simmelkjaer: You've earned a little break. But for now, enjoy this victory. 525 00:27:08,010 --> 00:27:08,131 Susannah Scaroni: Thank you. 526 00:27:08,131 --> 00:27:10,590 Rob Simmelkjaer: We're so thrilled to see you win here in New York and 527 00:27:10,950 --> 00:27:13,020 Rob Simmelkjaer: so thrilled to call you Champion yet again. 528 00:27:13,020 --> 00:27:13,920 Susannah Scaroni: Thank you so much. 529 00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,369 Rob Simmelkjaer: And we are here with the men's champion of the 530 00:27:17,369 --> 00:27:21,330 Rob Simmelkjaer: 2024 TCS New York City Marathon in the wheelchair division, 531 00:27:21,330 --> 00:27:23,399 Rob Simmelkjaer: Daniel Romanchuk. Congratulations. 532 00:27:23,580 --> 00:27:24,000 Daniel Romanchuk: Thank you. 533 00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:26,790 Rob Simmelkjaer: Tell me about the race. It looked like it was a 534 00:27:26,790 --> 00:27:30,149 Rob Simmelkjaer: pretty competitive one, tight right up through the end. When 535 00:27:30,150 --> 00:27:31,440 Rob Simmelkjaer: did you think you had this one won? 536 00:27:31,980 --> 00:27:38,790 Daniel Romanchuk: Absolutely. It was pretty much a pack of four and probably, unfortunately, 537 00:27:39,270 --> 00:27:43,320 Daniel Romanchuk: Marcel had almost went over and I think he scraped 538 00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:45,450 Daniel Romanchuk: up his hand so he was starting to lose grip. 539 00:27:46,140 --> 00:27:49,109 Daniel Romanchuk: It would've probably been a four- man finish all the 540 00:27:49,109 --> 00:27:55,500 Daniel Romanchuk: way through. The first time it really crossed my mind 541 00:27:55,500 --> 00:27:59,580 Daniel Romanchuk: that I might have this was really when I heard 542 00:27:59,580 --> 00:28:03,990 Daniel Romanchuk: the presenter at the finish line saying, " Here's Daniel Romanchuk." 543 00:28:03,990 --> 00:28:07,080 Daniel Romanchuk: And I didn't hear anyone else immediately after that. So 544 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:11,129 Daniel Romanchuk: I'd say that was really when I first was starting 545 00:28:11,130 --> 00:28:13,440 Daniel Romanchuk: to think I might have this. 546 00:28:13,530 --> 00:28:16,679 Rob Simmelkjaer: Daniel, you've had success here in New York for sure. 547 00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:19,770 Rob Simmelkjaer: This is your third win here in New York. You won 548 00:28:19,770 --> 00:28:24,060 Rob Simmelkjaer: an '18 and '19 as well. What is it about this course, 549 00:28:24,060 --> 00:28:25,560 Rob Simmelkjaer: this city, that works for you? 550 00:28:26,398 --> 00:28:30,390 Daniel Romanchuk: I think it's an amazing course. I grew up in Mount 551 00:28:30,420 --> 00:28:32,910 Daniel Romanchuk: Airy Maryland and so I grew up climbing hills, so 552 00:28:32,910 --> 00:28:36,720 Daniel Romanchuk: I love all of the bridges and I love climbing 553 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:42,480 Daniel Romanchuk: the bridges. But my sister and brother- in- Law also 554 00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,810 Daniel Romanchuk: live here, so it's always great to see them when 555 00:28:45,810 --> 00:28:46,380 Daniel Romanchuk: I'm here. 556 00:28:47,460 --> 00:28:50,400 Rob Simmelkjaer: Looking at it from the vehicle and I was coming 557 00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:52,680 Rob Simmelkjaer: alongside you guys for a while in a police vehicle. 558 00:28:52,860 --> 00:28:55,500 Rob Simmelkjaer: I can't imagine how one would like climbing those bridges. 559 00:28:55,500 --> 00:28:58,140 Rob Simmelkjaer: That looks like a lot, a lot of work. And 560 00:28:58,140 --> 00:29:02,640 Rob Simmelkjaer: then descending them, another situation as well. But it just 561 00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:04,470 Rob Simmelkjaer: seems to work for you. Do you train on the 562 00:29:04,470 --> 00:29:07,470 Rob Simmelkjaer: bridges a lot or on hills I mean? Is that 563 00:29:07,470 --> 00:29:10,080 Rob Simmelkjaer: a big part of your plan to get ready for 564 00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:10,740 Rob Simmelkjaer: these races? 565 00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:15,180 Daniel Romanchuk: Actually, for about a week before races like New York, 566 00:29:15,180 --> 00:29:18,570 Daniel Romanchuk: I do like to go out back to Mount Airy 567 00:29:18,570 --> 00:29:21,930 Daniel Romanchuk: to train and get used to the hills again. But 568 00:29:21,930 --> 00:29:24,750 Daniel Romanchuk: primarily I train out in Champaign, Illinois. 569 00:29:24,750 --> 00:29:25,830 Rob Simmelkjaer: Yeah, so- 570 00:29:26,100 --> 00:29:26,880 Daniel Romanchuk: Pretty flat out there. 571 00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,489 Rob Simmelkjaer: Absolutely. Well speaking of flat, you had some success on 572 00:29:29,490 --> 00:29:32,190 Rob Simmelkjaer: the track as well in Paris at the Paralympic Games. 573 00:29:32,460 --> 00:29:35,340 Rob Simmelkjaer: Gold in the 5, 000 meters. How have you been 574 00:29:35,340 --> 00:29:39,210 Rob Simmelkjaer: able to balance speed and work on the track with 575 00:29:39,210 --> 00:29:40,800 Rob Simmelkjaer: doing what you're doing on the roads? 576 00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:47,130 Daniel Romanchuk: I think it was certainly a pretty quick transition here 577 00:29:47,130 --> 00:29:51,360 Daniel Romanchuk: to the road, but we also had the marathon at 578 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:54,030 Daniel Romanchuk: the games as well. And so I think our coach kind 579 00:29:54,030 --> 00:29:56,730 Daniel Romanchuk: of kept us in a little bit of a more 580 00:29:56,730 --> 00:30:00,780 Daniel Romanchuk: distance mode in general. So maybe not specifying quite so 581 00:30:00,780 --> 00:30:06,480 Daniel Romanchuk: much a track than in a typical year, but I 582 00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:09,390 Daniel Romanchuk: leave most of that stuff just to Adam. 583 00:30:09,660 --> 00:30:11,490 Rob Simmelkjaer: That makes sense. Just do what you're told. Right? 584 00:30:11,490 --> 00:30:11,580 Daniel Romanchuk: Yep. 585 00:30:11,580 --> 00:30:14,640 Rob Simmelkjaer: Sometimes it's easier than doing that much thinking. Well this 586 00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:17,190 Rob Simmelkjaer: must be a nice moment for you and you're having 587 00:30:17,190 --> 00:30:19,200 Rob Simmelkjaer: a really nice year, not just in terms of your 588 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:23,040 Rob Simmelkjaer: competition, but your personal life. You just got married. 589 00:30:23,490 --> 00:30:23,491 Daniel Romanchuk: Thank you. 590 00:30:23,491 --> 00:30:26,430 Rob Simmelkjaer: What's it feel like, and were you able to share this 591 00:30:26,430 --> 00:30:27,690 Rob Simmelkjaer: at all with your new wife? 592 00:30:28,050 --> 00:30:32,070 Daniel Romanchuk: Absolutely. She was able to come up to New York 593 00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:35,700 Daniel Romanchuk: to watch everything, so it's absolutely great having her here. 594 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,820 Rob Simmelkjaer: That's awesome. It must feel great. Now, is this the 595 00:30:38,820 --> 00:30:40,920 Rob Simmelkjaer: end of your season really, to be able to come 596 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,740 Rob Simmelkjaer: back and reflect on what a year you've had between 597 00:30:43,980 --> 00:30:46,500 Rob Simmelkjaer: your performance here, Paris? 598 00:30:47,190 --> 00:30:51,120 Daniel Romanchuk: Not quite yet. I've got one more race next week 599 00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,010 Daniel Romanchuk: and then the season's over. 600 00:30:53,730 --> 00:30:56,940 Rob Simmelkjaer: And where do you see yourself going next year? I 601 00:30:56,940 --> 00:30:59,700 Rob Simmelkjaer: mean, you've really asserted yourself as obviously one of the 602 00:30:59,970 --> 00:31:04,170 Rob Simmelkjaer: very best in this sport. You are near the front 603 00:31:04,170 --> 00:31:06,090 Rob Simmelkjaer: of the pack and pretty much every race you run. 604 00:31:06,450 --> 00:31:08,490 Rob Simmelkjaer: What are your goals? What do you want to improve, what 605 00:31:08,490 --> 00:31:10,200 Rob Simmelkjaer: do you want to do next year that you haven't 606 00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:11,010 Rob Simmelkjaer: already done this year? 607 00:31:12,030 --> 00:31:13,890 Daniel Romanchuk: I'll probably take a little bit more time to really 608 00:31:13,890 --> 00:31:18,600 Daniel Romanchuk: think about that. Yeah, I think right now I'm doing 609 00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:23,070 Daniel Romanchuk: a lot of work with nonprofit that I've formed, Wheels 610 00:31:23,070 --> 00:31:26,160 Daniel Romanchuk: for Change. And so that's keeping me busy at a 611 00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:26,400 Daniel Romanchuk: little bit. 612 00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:26,850 Rob Simmelkjaer: What does that do? 613 00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:32,520 Daniel Romanchuk: So that is basically providing wheelchair racing equipment for, it's 614 00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:37,470 Daniel Romanchuk: got two branches, one internationally and one domestic. The domestic 615 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:43,170 Daniel Romanchuk: basically just helps kids get onto their school track program 616 00:31:43,770 --> 00:31:47,370 Daniel Romanchuk: just quickly. So we just have a loan closet of 617 00:31:47,370 --> 00:31:50,880 Daniel Romanchuk: equipment that we could probably send out and so that 618 00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:53,280 Daniel Romanchuk: way they're not having to wait to raise the funds 619 00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:56,280 Daniel Romanchuk: to get a chair and then get the chair produced. 620 00:31:57,090 --> 00:31:59,610 Daniel Romanchuk: And very similar international branch. 621 00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:03,090 Rob Simmelkjaer: And you're also working as an engineer as well, right? 622 00:32:03,090 --> 00:32:05,850 Rob Simmelkjaer: Studying engineering to try to improve the quality of racing 623 00:32:05,850 --> 00:32:07,620 Rob Simmelkjaer: chairs. Is that something you're working on also? 624 00:32:08,010 --> 00:32:12,090 Daniel Romanchuk: So I do work with Top End on just trying 625 00:32:12,090 --> 00:32:16,950 Daniel Romanchuk: to increase the performance of the equipment. But also in 626 00:32:16,950 --> 00:32:20,430 Daniel Romanchuk: recent years, as I mentioned with the school program, raising 627 00:32:20,430 --> 00:32:22,891 Daniel Romanchuk: funds. A basic racing chair costs $ 5, 000. 628 00:32:22,891 --> 00:32:24,180 Rob Simmelkjaer: Yeah. Yeah. 629 00:32:24,209 --> 00:32:28,320 Daniel Romanchuk: And so I think we're also trying to figure out 630 00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:33,600 Daniel Romanchuk: how to bring down the cost of high- performing equipment. 631 00:32:33,780 --> 00:32:37,320 Rob Simmelkjaer: Absolutely. Well you're obviously a great role model to kids 632 00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:39,510 Rob Simmelkjaer: who want to get into this sport. You're also making 633 00:32:39,510 --> 00:32:42,840 Rob Simmelkjaer: it easier for them to do that. So congratulations on 634 00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:45,450 Rob Simmelkjaer: everything you're doing and congrats on a great, great day 635 00:32:45,450 --> 00:32:47,820 Rob Simmelkjaer: here.
