Abdi Nageeye On Winning The 2024 NYC Marathon After His Paris 2024 Disappointment | Race Recap
CITIUS MAG
5 months ago
“Especially after 36K, I was telling myself, ‘Even if they speed up, I have to go deep today…’ I was telling myself, ‘This is my moment.’” My guest for today’s episode is Abdi Nageyee, whose journey in 2024 could only be described as redemption at its finest. The Dutch marathoner and 2021 Olympic silver medalist, who just three months ago grappled with disappointment after withdrawing late in the Olympic marathon in Paris, roared back to claim the biggest victory of his career at the TCS New York City Marathon. In a thrilling showdown against one of the strongest fields in race history, Nageeye deployed patience, strategy, and a powerful finishing kick to secure his first World Marathon Major title in 2:07:39—making history as the first Dutchman and the first European since 1996 to win in New York. From his self-coached training in Eldoret to a race plan honed by years of experience on the course, Nageeye turned heartbreak into triumph. We’ll dive into his reflections on Paris, his mental and physical preparation for NYC, and what this victory means for him moving forward.

The Dutch marathoner and 2021 Olympic silver medalist who just three months ago grappled with his appointment after withdrawing late in the Olympic marathon in Paris, roared back to claim the biggest victory of his career at the TCS New York City Marathon.

We dive into his reflections on Paris, his mental and physical preparation for New York City, and what this victory means for him moving forward. But first, you'll also hear a never before released interview with Abdi from my trip to Kenya in June 2023, where we discussed a bit more of his backstory and upbringing from being born in Somalia to settling in the Netherlands as a refugee and spending time in Syria before finally being adopted by a Dutch family.
I initially planned for this to be released last fall, but didn't have a chance to, but I'm now glad it's finally out. It's fun because towards the end of that first interview, I asked him what he wants to accomplish and he finally gets it done. Part one is my interview with him in Kenya and then part two is my interview with him reflecting on New York.

Our athletes Eliud Kipchoge, Kenenisa Bekele, Geoffrey Kamworor, Abdi Nageeye, Jake Smith and Yalemzerf Yehualaw will talk about the different topics within altitude. What are the benefits? Why is altitude so important and on what altitude are our athletes training?
Dit is de 100e aflevering van de Slimmer Presteren Podcast, over sport, onderzoek en innovatie. In deze aflevering hebben Gerrit en Jurgen het over:
De 100e: Slimmer Presteren met het placebo effect
INLEIDING:
Nep-cafeïne, zoutoplossingen en rode schoenen: sommige atleten gaan er harder op terwijl het prestatie-bevorderende bewijs ver te zoeken is.
In hoeverre speelt geloof en verwachting een rol bij jouw sportprestatie?
En, kan het placebo effect juist ook negatief uitwerken?
