Brett Gotcher has gone from regular fast guy with Olympic dreams and a part time job to regular fast guy who is spending his post-marathon recovery time answering more questions about his training (in one week) than he has had to his entire life - maybe. And all he did was run a marathon. Mind you it was the fourth fastest debut marathon in US history, 2:10:36. Not too shabby for a surfer-dude from Aptos California.
Leading up to the Chevron Houston Marathon, Brett ran equally well when he won the National 20km Championships in September 2009 (58:57) and in the Aramco Houston Half Marathon (62:09) in January 2009. However, marathon running is risky business and getting everything to go just right on race day is a task requiring all the right moves, patience and a little good fortune – kind of like surfing – well maybe not exactly. Coach Greg McMillan is there to help guide the way, complimenting his blossoming talent and helping to foster Brett’s strong commitment to achieve more.
Brett took the time to answer a few more questions, exhibiting that rare level of patience successful marathon runners possess. Here is our interview.
