We have seen a lot of athletes make the transition from short distance to  70.3 and Ironman. Craig Alexander, Andy Potts and Mirinda Carfrae come quickly to mind. But not many Ironman distance athletes try to transition back to short course. But if someone was going to try to go from Ironman champion to becoming a 2012 Olympian, the odds would be good that it would be the guy who loves to change perceptions, Mr. Chris McCormack. Macca came on with us live to talk about how he has changed his training in the hopes that he can make the Australian team that will be heading off to London in 2012.

The first non-African to run sub 27:00 for 10,000 meters, America’s Chris Solinsky, came on to chat about his career and his American Record setting run . Believe it or not, the 10,000 he ran on May 1^st at Stanford was his first ever 10,000. Not a bad debut! Co-hosting this time around was the 2010 Ironman World Champion Chris McCormack. Solinsky and McCormack are  both considered too large to be successful at their chosen  profession. Solinsky is 6’1” and 160 pounds and towers over his competitors at 5,000 and 10,000 while Macca, at 175 pounds, is the heaviest man to ever win in Kona. There was obviously a lot of mutual respect going on during the conversation.
