Episode 10: Moh Ahmed Interview, Part 1

On Episode 10 of The Halfstep Pod, Grant and Connor interview Moh Ahmed, a 2x Olympian and World Championship Medalist and current teammate of Grant's at the Bowerman Track Club. The guys start by talking about which of them dropped the other on the long run earlier that day. Moh then opens up about his background in running, starting with his family's immigration to Canada when Moh was a 10 year old. They then talk about his teenage running career, his time at Wisconsin (including the 2011 team title and making his first Olympic team for the London Games), and finish by talking about his first years as a pro, the Rio Olympics, and his mindset going into Doha 2019, where he captured his first global medal with a gutsy 3rd place finish in the 5k. You can follow Moh Ahmed on instagram at moh_speed23 and @Moh_Speed on instagram. Part 2 of this interview will be dropping late next week. Thanks again to Moh for taking the time to sit down with us! We hope to have him on again soon.
