Hey! Welcome to Episode #38, glad you could stop by for a listen. Maybe you are walking somewhere, on a bus, on a train or riding a bike or running somewhere. I hope things are pleasant where you are. Whatever the case, I hope this podcast brings you a quiet moment.
This episode features an interview with a Dutch legend, Peter van der Velden. He used to be elite and he still is elite. He recently earned a World Record for the 3000m in a smashing time of 8:55mins. He would have also got the Dutch record for the 5000m, but, owing to a technicality and extreme-fussiness from the officials (and a technology stuff up), it wasn't ratified. He'll just have to wait for another race to do it.
We discuss Peter's career as an athlete and how he has managed his training within a busy professional life.
Thank you to Dominic Bersee for inviting Peter to be on the show and for co-hosting the episode.
