Episode Notes

Zouhair Talbi just ran 59:41, placing 1st American at the United Airlines NYC Half - and we got the inside scoop.


Fresh off a 2nd place finish last weekend, elite runner and Olympian Zouhair Talbi joins us to break down the mindset, decisions, and race instincts behind elite performance - and what it means heading into Boston in five weeks.


Zouhair takes us inside the race - sharing how he reads his body within the first mile, how he decides when to surge, and why sometimes the smartest move is not to follow the pack.


Highlights include:

🎯 How Zouhair ran a 59:41 PB

🏃‍♀️ Behind his 2:05 marathon breakthrough

🏅 His Olympic career and handling setbacks

🚀 His Boston strategy and goals


This episode is for runners who want to understand what elite performance actually looks like - and the mindset required when the margins are small and the stakes are high.


🎧 Follow along for new episodes every Friday with Olympians, World Record Holders, and inspiring voices form the running community.
