EDR #57 /On the Rise/ Igor Ouwerkerk: 8:08 for the 3000m & 3:52 for the 1500m

Yo! Igor Ouwerkerk is one of the Young Guns of Leiden Atletiek. Like the title of this show indicates, he has smashed out some pretty fancy times in his very short career. Igor has only committed to running over the past two years after previously being pretty serious about his cycling, too. 

Igor trains with Han Kulker of Leiden Atletiek and as long as a few persistent injuries don't get in his way, what he can achieve is as yet unknown. He'll be heading off to the States soon on an athletics scholarship. So, look out. 

Igor is a competitive beast and always brings his game face to race day - hence the awesome photo accompanying the episode. He's also super diligent in his loopscholing (running technique) drills and he performs them with the exactitude and agility of a ballet dancer. 

So yeah, I hope you enjoy this conversation and my opening chitter chatter about my Rotterdam Marathon preparation.
