Manage episode 515897041 series 3659911
Hello and welcome back to Everyday Runners podcast. In this episode Frank Futselaar (first time on EDR) and Anne Luijten (regular) share their experiences of the Amsterdam Marathon. Frank had some annoying calf-troubles and couldn't quite get what he wanted out of the race. Anne won the Dutch championship despite having a very short and interrupted recovery period after the World Championships.
Frank also spoke about his time working as a cultural anthropologist where he worked with Kenyan athletes and explored what it means to be both an athlete and citizen. He also shared some hilarious anecdotes about those tense moments leading up the race and how he seeks to stay focused on the race.
