Editor’s Note: My friend and EverymanTri’s new gear editor, Paul Shippey, recently had the chance to sit down with American marathon runner Meb Keflezighi in Boston at an event sponsored by Generation UCAN before tomorrow’s Boston Marathon and asked him our now standard set of ten questions.
California’s fastest half-marathon lived up to its billing Sunday as American Meb Keflezighi set a new U.S. 20k record and bettered his personal best by 25 seconds winning the Rock ‘n’ Roll Half Marathon in a time of 1:01:00. Keflezighi’s 20k split of 57:52 broke Ryan Hall’s standing 20K record of 57:54 set in 2006.
