Sonia O’Sullivan gave him a copy of her training log from March 1998 – the month leading up to her double victory at World Cross-Country Championships in Marrakech, Morocco that year. With spring marathon season, the World Relays, big domestic track meets such as the Penn/Drake Relays, the Payton Jordan Invitational, and the start of the Diamond League season, we haven’t had time to focus on anything outside of races recently. With some downtime this week before the schedule ramps up again, we thought we’d share this neat document with you and some inside details about O’Sullivan’s wins.
