Ep81 - Mick Iacofano (2:09 Marathoner) on Leading the Boston Marathon and Racing for the Podium While Rocking Space Buns

Mick Iacofano (2:09 Marathon PB) breaks down the 2022 Boston Marathon race and talks about his decision to go for the podium in the lead pack (alongside Americans CJ Albertson and Elkanah Kibet) versus settling back with the rest of the Americans. We talk about Mick rocking space buns, mind games during a marathon, running D1 at Kentucky, his rise to being one of the top American marathoners with a 2:09 PB, his tattoos, his training setup in Boise (soon moving to Boulder), and a whole lot more.
