So excited for this! For the first time ever, NBC is going to do a live broadcast of the U.S Olympic Marathon Trials!

Coverage will start this Saturday at 1pm EST (11am MST). See complete details here.

I am so happy to hear they are giving this event the coverage it deserves. These athletes are some of the hardest working, most talented athletes I’ve ever met. I trained with Meb, Abdi and Deena in San Diego back when I was competing. They are genuine, welcoming, down to earth and so positive.

Can’t wait to tune in. I’m so excited to cheer them on and wish them the very, very best on Saturday! Do not miss this!
