The CITIUS MAG Podcast | A Running + Track and Field Show

“I think silent killer is perfect for me. I put so much energy and effort into this. I’ve really been pursuing greatness, so when I get out there and don't do what I want to do, it’s clear. You can see it on my face that I'm not happy. I try to be grateful and take everything in, but at the same time I always want more and I know what I'm capable of.” Keturah Orji, 10x U.S. champion and American record holder, joins the show after qualifying for her 3rd Olympic team in triple jump. Keturah breaks down her triple jump performance at the Trials, what she’s learned from triple jumpers who came before her, how she wants to give back to the sport after finishing her career, and more. Hear more from Keturah in this episode of the CITIUS MAG Podcast.

“Track is such a different world. Marathoners are so hyper-focused. If I go to the Boston Marathon, I really can’t go many places, because a lot of people will recognize me. But something like track, I get to be like any other track fan out here. I’ll get noticed every once in a while, but for the most part, people are here to watch Sha’Carri.” Molly Seidel, Olympic bronze medalist in the marathon, joins the show to share about her experience in the marathon world compared to the track and field world, how she’s working with PUMA on improving their shoe technology, her predictions for the Trials, and lots of banter, of course.

“When I've had great performances and won medals and won Olympic Trials, I'm very satisfied in that moment, but I'm always just thinking that I can get better and do better. I'm a bit of a hardass where I want to keep working… I get so much confidence and joy and pride from my work that it’s a no-brainer.” Emma Coburn, 2x Olympic medalist and 2017 World champion, joins the show to update us on returning to training with Team Boss post-surgery, what keeps her motivated at this stage in her career, her dynamic with her husband + coach Joe Bosshard, her love for Taylor Swift, and lots more.

“It’s better than going out and doing a 10K tempo on Pre’s Trail and coming away with nothing. There’s no money for a tempo run. I’ll go do it in a track stadium with a bunch of fast guys, taper a little bit, come away with a couple grand or something… I’m like, ‘It can go bad 400 in and I can just step off, I get front row seats to a 10K final and I’m already on the Olympic team.’” Conner Mantz, 2024 U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials winner, updates us on how training is going for the Paris Olympics. He also shares about how he overcame an injury post Marathon Trials and reflects on last night’s 10,000m final.

“The fans really do love field events. They know a lot of our stories. it ‘s just unfortunate that it doesn’t get shown on TV as much. That's where I come in.

“Occasionally we do a really hard workout, but most of the time we just try to stay even-keeled. Two months of consistent training is better than three weeks with two hard workouts but then you're taking a week off because you're dinged up or sore… We really thought, let’s run the 5K pretty hard, I don't necessarily know if [Elle St. Pierre] ran all-out when she ran 14:32, but we wanted to see what it felt like to run a hard 1500 a week later, because [Prefontaine Classic] was going to be hard.” Team New Balance Boston coach Mark Coogan joins the show after a strong first day of competition for his team. Mark shares about what training has looked like for the team heading into the Trials and what we can expect from his stars in the coming days.

“That’s what I was telling myself the whole time. I was just so committed to racing as hard as I can, and I was just like, ‘I think I can compete with those guys.’ I had that mindset the whole race. I was like, ‘I don't care if I get fourth, I don't even care if I get second or third and don't get to go.’ It was about conquering the disbelief that I've had the last few years that I could compete with those guys. So that was the plan.” Drew Hunter, 4th place finisher in the U.S. Olympic Trials 10,000m final, reflects on his performance last night, shares about the support he’s received since racing, what he’s learned since becoming a dad, and gives a few updates on Tinman Elite.
