In this video, I dive into the incredible legacy of Emil Zátopek, the greatest distance runner of all time. From his pioneering training techniques to his unmatched Olympic feats, Zátopek revolutionized long-distance running and set a standard that athletes still aspire to today.
Zátopek’s achievements include winning three gold medals in a single Olympics (1952 Helsinki), an Olympic gold in the marathon during his first-ever attempt, and changing the landscape of distance running through his innovative interval training methods.
