Who is @NotAfraid2Fail? Get to know Jason Suarez – One of the dopest running photographers

March 13, 2018

You've probably seen his handle somewhere in your Instagram feed if you follow enough professional runners but who is @NotAfraid2Fail? Meet Jason Suarez. He's one of the co-founders of CITIUS MAG and he takes some of the best photos in the sport. He's also quite the character. Jason and I first met at the 2013 U.S.A. Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Des Moines, Iowa. My high school track coach shot me a text to get to know him and I learned a little bit about his goals and aspirations as a photographer. I was 19 at the time also had my sights set on covering the sport closely and we shared that in common. What I didn't realize at the time was that Jason was working super hard to just get the opportunity. On this show, he shares a quick story about flirting his way to a discount on a hotel room, sleeping in his mother's car and finding his way into the sport. Jason discusses some of the influential people that he's met along the way to now shooting for some major brands and collaborating with companies and athletes on projects. As much as I rib on Jason from time-to-time (and he'll give me crap too – just check out his Twitter feed), he's very genuine and quite the grinder. I'll stop saying nice things about him now. Listen to the episode now. ----- This episode was brought to you by Maurten. Fuel properly for long distance races! we recommend Maurten. It’s the world’s most carbohydrate-rich sports drink and it’s being used by the top marathoners in the world. Eliud Kipchoge used it during the Breaking2 attempt and the Berlin Marathon. Kenenisa Bekele has been using it since winning the 2016 Berlin Marathon. Mo Farah even used it prior to his gold medal runs at the world championships. It worked for me at the Berlin Marathon and it could work for you.

Lou Serafini On His Chase Of A Sub-Four Minute Mile, Breaking Out In The Sport After College

March 2, 2018

Over the weekend Lou Serafini became the 514th American to break four minutes for the mile when he ran 3:59.33 at the Boston University Last Chance Meet. He's one of the chillest dudes in track and a name to watch over the next few years on the U.S. distance running scene. He joined the show to discuss what it's like being a blue-collar runner balancing a full-time job at Tracksmith, coaching other athletes and yet still putting in the daily work to chase the dream of breaking four minutes for the mile. Lou has range as he's raced everything at a high level from 1,500 meters to the marathon. He qualified for the 2016 U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials and boasts a 2:17 personal best at the distance. For some time after college, Lou decided that he was done running for a bit. We discuss that break and how he decided to come back by being self-coached. What's that like? Lous' got some nice stories about coach Randy Thomas, his roommate David Melly and some of the athletes that he coaches. ------ This episode was brought to you by Maurten.

Abdi Abdirahman on NYC Marathon, Being Old, His Best Race, LeBron Mile

November 2, 2017

Four-time U.S. Olympian Abdi Abdirahman joins the CITIUS MAG Podcast ahead of Sunday's TCS New York City Marathon. He is this year's top returning American after his third place finish in last year's race, which resurrected his career after a string of injuries. He's 40 years old so he shares his thoughts on how much longer he may be able to go, Meb's retirement party and what is was like missing a fifth Olympic team. Abdirahman also touches on some fun topics like his plans to develop runners in Somalia, the nutrition and hydration strategy of East African runners, what's his greatest race, the Pittsburgh Steelers, Blue Jeans Mile (people forget that he use to make his own jeans) and a heated debate on what LeBron James can run for the mile. This episode was brought to you by Maurten. If you’re interested in marathon investigations then there’s a chance that you’re also a marathon or road runner.
