Ep94 - Pat Teirnan - 2 * Olympian and Aussie 10K Record Holder

Pat in one of the best distance runners Australia has ever produced. He set the Aussie 10K record last year in an astonishing time of 27:22, won the prestigious NCAA Cross Country Championship and represented Australia at 2 Olympics.

Wolf and Haddy had the privilege of chatting with Pat from his quarantine hotel on the way back from Tokyo. Pat was still licking his wounds after a brutal 10K in the Tokyo heat.

Apart from being an exceptional athlete, Pat truly understands his craft. His insights into race psychology and training physiology are fantastic. 

We discuss Pat's college life at Villanova, his move to the Oregon Track Club and his prep for the Tokyo Games. We also chat about about Pat being 'alphaed'  by his fiance, being star struck at the Games Village, a well timed XXXX delivery and battling with Stewie McSweyn at Zatopek.

Such a great chat. Enjoy!
