In this engaging conversation, Haftu Knight shares his remarkable journey from Ethiopia to becoming one of the fastest marathoners in US history. He discusses his recent success at the McKirdy Micro Marathon where he ran 2:09:38. That performance made him the 22nd fastest marathoner in US history and the fastest Texas marathoner ever (he broke Alan Culpepper's record by five seconds). In this episode we talk about the strategies he employed during races,, his time at a elite athlete at the University of Texas, and the influence of his coach Jeff Cunningham. Haftu reflects on his training regimen, the importance of family and community, and his aspirations for the future, including competing in the Olympics. His story is one of resilience, hard work, and the pursuit of excellence.
