Ben True joins us to reflect on his marathon debut at the NYC Marathon (2:12, 7th overall), his 4th place finish at the US Olympic Trials 10k (he holds a 27:14 10km PB), and his future racing plans. We also dive into just about every aspect of his career and life, including his decision to go to Dartmouth, choosing to train solo for several years, eventually paying Dan Curts $20,000 to train with him, making ends meet when Saucony didn't renew his contract, his upbringing in XC skiing, becoming a father, eating 6 bagels before races, his love for coffee, his views on anti-doping, and a whole lot more. Ben isn't much of a social media guy, but give him a follow on Insta anyway because when he does post, it's all gold (@BenJTrue) Video version: https://youtu.be/GJ7u4DFl-4Y Join our Patreon for exclusive, uncut and uncensored content + big giveaways: https://www.patreon.com/beermile Brought to you by ALWRLD: Use code BEERMILE15 for 15% Off at ALWRLD.COM Brought to you by MANSCAPED: Use code BEERMILE for 20% Off + Free Shipping at MANSCAPED.COM Try Athletic Brewing Beer.
