It was quite a relief to cross that finish line and then to be so exhausted afterward where I sat down and couldn’t even get up afterwards. That’s a good feeling after a marathon, “Hey, I gave it everything, there’s nothing left.” I ran this race right. I found out later, some friends were texting me of course, and said “You’re 17. That’s great.” Then somebody said, “Hey, you’re 3rd American.” I was like oh, that’s even better. That’s probably my favorite stat out of the whole race, beyond the time even and the overall place was being the 3rd American. I’m really pleased and proud of that.

UtahRunning.com: What do you do that motivates you and what drives you to continue to train and perform?

Paul: Some days I lack in motivation and what keeps me going is just inertia.

But in general I just have an internal drive to succeed and to get better, and running is something that God has gifted me with and I feel I should develop that gift. I just have that internal drive to continue training and continue improving until I can’t improve anymore.

In general, as far as other motivation, I love competing so I love to race. I need to get out and race about once a month in order to stay motivated, just having that carrot out in front of me. “Oh, I have a race coming up. I better get ready for this.” Then I get to training.

Paul Petersen - Interview Petersen Paul UtahRunning.com: Do you have any specifics as far as a favorite workout or favorite type of workout that others might emulate that might take their running to the next level?

Paul: Absolutely. Again the key to marathon specific training, the goal of marathon training is to run harder workouts. But really the actual pace isn’t that hard. You’re just going to be doing it for a long time. The key is the long workout, 90 to 120 minutes for a typical workout. That’s not a long run, that’s just a workout. Long runs will be a bit longer.

I really love doing a plain old marathon pace tempo. There’s nothing fancy about it. It’s pretty vanilla. But it’s good and it’s eight to 10 mile tempo, at marathon pace or maybe a bit slower some days due to not feeling it. You have to back off and train to what your body’s giving you. Or you can progress into it, have a bit of a progression run…

My favorite workout, I just did it on Saturday, is a workout I’ll do within a long run. I’ll go and do a 20 miler, but I do pretty hard tempos within my long runs. I basically consolidate a workout in my long run into one day. What I love to do is I do a 20 miler and run the first half, the first 10 miles up a canyon, and then turn around the 10 miles and go down again.

Current residence: Salt Lake City, UT

Running background: I currently run for the Utah Elite team that is sponsored by the 26.2 Running Company. I started running short races after high school, ran my first marathon (Pikes Peak) when I was 19 and my first Runner Spotlight road marathon (Deseret News) when I was 20. After two years of focusing on triathlons (competed at Kona in 2002) I decided to focus primarily on running. In total I have run 35 marathons, a few ultra trail races (max of 50 miles), and lots of other road and trail races of shorter distances.
