Chris: Was it hard I guess, to get involved? When you think fashion and you think big cities, like London, Paris, New York, especially. Those job opportunities, how tough are they to come by?
Especially with what you wanted to do? David: Yeah I mean—Thom Browne is the pinnacle brand. Jeanne: I just want to go back for a second, to your college career. And I guess the transition from running collegiately to running now with Adidas and pursuing your own goals and dreams and you mention that you kind of took a step back, you took a little bit of time off, and I guess, yeah how has the transition been to running sort of on your own at times?
That was a long question, sorry. David: Yeah. I can definitely unpackage that. Because, just in context on my career. Yeah, I was a contributing member to a podium squad, when we took third place my senior year. But heading into my fifth year, that track season before, I ran a PR. I partially tore my achilles on the first round of NCAAs at regionals.
So I was out that track season. I came back, won conference, and then tore my achilles again in the same place. David: Same one, same place. At the championship in cross country, in Terre Haute, Indiana. So for me, I hated running at that moment. And I kind of vowed to give it another shot, go out for my fifth year, spring track season.
Which was just shit. So I think, by the end, I was just super spiritually burnt out. I was just like over it. So I wanted to step back, so that ended my collegiate career. Definitely on a sour note for sure. But, when I got to New York, I got brought back into a different type of running. Which is the running culture here. The running culture here is the most serious running culture in the world. Jeanne: How would you describe it, if you had to choose a couple of words?
David: A couple words? Um, rambunctious, unadulterated, very against the grain. Having a really good relationship with him, from afar. To kind of play a little coaching role, run with him a little bit, catch a vibe, see what the scene was like. And that led me to also running with Orchard Street Runners for a gnarly 10k, through the city at night. And then I think that really catapulted my role into Adidas runners, right now. David: Oh, yeah. I mean, I look at all those guys. I mean Scott Fauble and Stephen Kersh have been coaching me the past year, for the marathon.
When I see their success on the road, on the track. I know that if I would have chosen that path—who knows where I would have been—but there is a piece of me every day that wants to be there. Chris: How do you approach PRs these days? Now, do you just forget about it and think, this is a new stage in my career? David: Right. I had never run one. I had an Olympic Trials Qualifier in my mind for that.
I really took myself to the edge of where I felt like, in the moment I could get at the marathon. I sacrificed a lot to get there.
I think, honestly, I think I had to bid it adieu and look at what I want to do spiritually in running. Chris: Yeah, I want to hang on to Berlin for just a moment. Because you were one of the people. I remember looking at Instagram photos of you and your preparation, and I was just thinking, David looks ready to just go for this race. But, you and Nick Roche, who is a good friend of ours, attacked it from the start, right?
David: Yeah, exactly. I had the best training. I know all my splits, all my workouts. I saw Jeanne on the track. I was there sweating. It was a hot summer here. But I think personally, for me, I look back at my log, I look back at my efforts on the track, and also some of the mindfulness—you know all the processes that I took to lead up to the race.
There could be numerous factors I could point out. My achilles is still injured. You know, I was overtrained. Whatever, I could have all these excuses. So, seeing that distance, I have a new respect for it. Nick and I went out in 70 and change, which should have been—for the first half, chill.
It was not chill. That dude pulled me through. It was a crazy experience, because he pulled me through the first half, and I was like, ooh I want to drop out. I might have to walk it in. I felt really cooked. Jeanne: Were you guys with a pack? Or was it just you two? David: No, that was the hard part. I mean, still being new to the marathon, your group is everything. So, after the half, I was thinking. And I look over at Nick and he looks at me and he is ghost white. Because, yeah, the marathon.
Chris: On paper. And results-wise, that would be your personal best. Do you feel that was your best effort? David: No. I think we both could have shaved minutes off.
I would feel good to say we both should have run that day. Definitely not. I have to be realistic. Because you ran Boston, this past spring, and everyone knows—it was probably the worst possible condition for that race. David: Yeah, yeah. David: Yeah, honestly.
My first marathon was Berlin in I jumped in to pace Nick. I stayed through it. I ran , it felt really easy. I was just going to jog through it, and then it felt great. And Boston was just.
Prepare you in a different way. But I had an opportunity to run Boston, so I took it. Or every marathoner should run it. Just the process of getting bussed out and seeing all the tents and gates flying through the air. The mph headwinds were not a joke. That was happening.
The bus ride that takes an hour, it was a torrential downpour. My socks are soaked. Everyone is like, this is survival. I think everyone was seeing their PRs go out the door. I ditched a PR at probably around 10 miles. But, yeah, torrential downpour. Hailing at times. Jeanne: Did you think about dropping out? And my dad was there. I had family there, I had my girlfriend there. Chris: Any other day, would you have woken up, seen that forecast, and say you have a long run to do, would you have done it?
With the same forecast? David: Training? If it was an important run, definitely. And that was the thing. I mean, Desi was smart, and kept on all of her layers. That was probably a wise decision. Because it was rough. Fred Goris, Jason Suarez. And they were out on the course and I remember talking to them after the race and they said that they saw you with less than a mile to go, and they were yelling at the top of their lungs for you to just look their way, and nothing.
You were just gone. You were a ghost at that point. Unfortunately, I remember with 5k to go, saying fuck it. Which was a mistake. I probably went from six minute mile to seven minute miles, and was just hanging on. And then my mind shut off in the last 5k. I remember a lot of the time, just uncontrollably grinding my teeth and wondering how much dental work I was going to have to get after this race. So I remember coming through the finish line and going directly to the medical tent and being there with my teeth chattering, having weird soup and just trying to function.
And then I had to jog home, which was another story. This game has a prototype article Aladdin is a Disney game released on the Sega Genesis. The Aladdin series.
