Haile Gebrselassie's debut marathon story
The end of the first week of November, a historic week for the world and especially those reading this in the USA. But instead of a long science post today, I thought I'd be different and give you a little bit of weekend reading, from an article that was published in Newsweek. It is written by none other than Haile Gebrselassie, the world-record holder in the marathon.
The article is definitely the result of some team-work, but it's a wonderful story, and well written, speaking of how Gebrselassie raced in his first marathon at the age of 16, finishing in 2:48.
So for a bit of weekend inspiration, until next week, check out Geb's article in Newsweek!

Speaking of debut marathons, I just wrote a piece about Kara Goucher's debut in NYC. From an American standpoint, it was phenomenal, and it speaks to potentially big things in the future. I hope you'll check it out...maybe there's a "science of debut marathons" post you could write about?
