This is clip 2 of 8 upcoming on our new program, Socialing the Distance. We spoke with Clayton Murphy, the 800m bronze medalist from the 2016 Olympics. Clayton and his fiance, Arianna Washington, a 2016 Olympian and WC gold medalist in London 2017 in the 4x100m, are literally on a big move to the Midwest. That’s Portland, Oregon to near Akron, Ohio.
In this clip, Clayton and I spoke about his past training, current training and how his recent recovery from injuries has affected his current fitness.
Special thanks to Clayton Murphy. Special thanks to Mike Deering on the production of the series.
