Ep68 - Clayton Murphy: Reflecting on Tokyo Olympics, How He Trains, Starting His YouTube Channel, Beef with Centro?, 2022 Racing Plans, College Stories, and more

Clayton Murphy is the 2021 US National Champ at 800m, Bronze Medalist at the 2016 Rio Olympics, two-time Olympian, and just plain fast. He's run 1:42 for 800m and 3:51 for the mile. We chat about his performances and experience at the 2016 Rio Olympics and 2020 Tokyo Olympics, his 2021 season, how he trains, and 2022 racing plans. Of course, we also have plenty of lighthearted banter in there about beef with Centro, racing Devon Allen in 300m, being a wine connoisseur, board games, starting his YouTube channel, being married to another Olympian (Ariana Washington), college and Labadie stories, and more. Follow @ClaytonMurphy on the Insta.  Watch the video version on Spotify or on YouTube: https://youtu.be/DxHafvTRXj4 Help us grow the show: Sauce us a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts and Spotify Join our Patreon for exclusive, uncut and uncensored content + big giveaways: https://www.patreon.com/beermile Subscribe to Beer Mile Media on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/beermilemedia Brought to you by MANSCAPED: Use code BEERMILE for 20% Off + Free Shipping at MANSCAPED.COM Try Athletic Brewing Beer.
