In our first chat, Michael was really focused on moving up from the sub-elite level of road running to becoming an elite marathoner.

Several months later and after running Boston, which had been a big goal for several years, Michael had shifted his sights to improving at the half marathon.

A number of months later, Michael Deza has changed his priorities again. Read more

When Michael was last on the show, we talked about his path to finding his calling as a runner as well as the great year of running he had in 2015.

One of his big goals for 2015 was to qualify for both the Boston and NYC marathons, which he did. Now that he’s back on the show, I’m interested in hearing how Boston went for him earlier this year and how he sees the rest of 2016 shaking out.

Michael’s overal Boston Marathon experience was very positive, even though it solidified for him that he wanted to focus more on becoming an elite half marathoner instead of an elite marathoner. Read more

Michael started running on a whim, and decided to sign up for his first half marathon a few weeks before the event.

And he proceeded to run a 1:29.

Since then, he has fallen in love with running and has embraced the challenge of distance running. In 2015 alone, he’s trimmed 22 minutes off of his marathon PR (which is currently 2:49:15), qualified for Boston and New York, and set his goals even higher.
