Olympic Marathon Trials Champ Conner Mantz On How Training For The Paris Olympics Is Going

“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. Conner also talks about why he decided to race even though he already qualified for the Olympic marathon. Hear more from Conner Mantz in this episode of the CITIUS MAG Podcast.

Ive watched a bunch of Conner since the trials. He seems so much more comfortable in this interview. Think that is a testament to you all keeping your guests in a great headspace! Kudos!

[@billherlin5832]

Conner seems like such a good guy - like the kinda guy you’d love to have a (root) beer with

[@alex43rodriguez]

I miss Jenkins racing! He was a quick dude and a fun personality for track. A killer in the 1500, mile and 5k/10k. Conner is gonna kill it at Paris.

The course being nasty hilly should help Connor as a xc strength guy
