Interview: Haftu Strintzos

[Music] [Music] All right, this very special interview on the Inside Running Podcast is with the new Australian marathon record holder. Here's the winner of the 2026 Gold Coast marathon. Very set a course record as well. Welcome back to the Inside Running Podcast. And congratulations. Have to string us. Thank you Brady. It's good to be back on the podcast. Thank you for having me. Hey, I think about 72 hours ago you crossed the finish line. Tell me how much life has changed in the last 72 hours. To be honest, not much. It's the same routine, you know. I could barely walk the next morning, but I snuck in new. But, you know, it hadn't quite registered for about a day yet. But, you know, looking back, I'm quite proud of the performance. And, you know, I hope to continue improving. But, yeah. We'll take us back to, take me back to Sunday. What does it look like post-race when you just break the Australian record? Oh, mate. That was, is sweet. Celebrating rest of the day, you know, is just, I was so relieved to, first of all, get a good time down on paper. You know, I've been working towards that for a long time. And that was the number one priority. To just get a sub to 10 on paper, ideally sub to eight. And I'm glad to just have ticked off both of those. And, yeah. So it was an amazing feeling. Yeah, yeah, I'm sure it was. So like when you say celebrating, is it like a big long lunch or do you guys hit the night clubs? Or like, is it a one of alcohol involved? Like what happened? You kind of already know the feeling after a marathon. I don't really have energy for any of that. But it was, it was a pretty quiet evening. Went out to lunch with my coach to celebrate, you know, Sunday, right? And afterwards, the GC marathon hosted this like a VIP event where I got to meet the old legends of this sport, you know. Steve Monagheri, Obdicacela was there after that amazing talk at the start of the marathon. And Anita, well, this was there as well. Yep. So it and Pat, Pat Carroll. So it was amazing to just, you know, have a chat with those guys and, yeah. Share some experiences. And then you travel back to Melbourne on the Monday and it's like straight back into routine back to the cold weather. Yeah, I regretted not staying a couple more days in Gold Coast. Yeah. Yeah. There's summer all of a sudden it's winter over here. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's been shocking the last couple of days. And then like, can we go back to the decision to run Gold Coast in the first place? Like, you made it look super fast on the weekend. But traditionally hasn't been a place where Australians would go to run Australian records. I am not sure if Gold Coast by the time changed the course slightly to make it faster maybe. I don't quite know the history as much in terms of like how the course is organized. But it was a very fast course. It's dead flat. Compared to Sydney, Sydney felt like a very long, hilly cross-country race. That's what it felt like. It was that hard. But compared to Sydney Gold Coast, it's just dead flat. You know, so the potential to even go directly to sub 206 is that to a five. Something is there. It's just a matter of, you know, showing up and executing on the day. And what if the conditions agree as well? Yeah, yeah. So was it locked in a while out? Like did Adam present it to you as an option like to stay on Australian soil and knock away overseas for this, you know, this next marathon? Well, my preference is to always do races here, you know, especially when there are like high quality races with a top field, you know, with guys who are significantly better than me on paper. That gives me an opportunity to do much better than I have in the past. And to measure myself up, myself up against them. And you know, that's the kind of, that's what you need to have in order to be competitive at these big races. But yeah, it just seemed like the perfect opportunity. I mean, it is the fastest course in Australia. And if, you know, if you look at the history of the results, there have been consistent performances around that 207 to 8 mark from the Japanese, Kenyans, Ethiopians. So it seemed like just the choice to go with. Yeah. And I guess the importance of being in a race where you're competitive, like you're racing for the wind as well. Like that was a perfect opportunity for you to be there at the Gold Coast and in that lead pack and be able to make the moves in that last. I think 30k onwards you're like a super strong. Yeah, yeah. I was pretty confident coming into it. You know, after a lawn system as well, I've been done a pretty comfortable sub 61 minutes there. So I was pretty confident in my fitness and pretty confident that I could do much better than the 21 that I did in Sydney. And it was just a matter of, you know, just showing up on the day and getting it done. Yeah. So with the race, obviously the Pacers look like they did a great job. Like they were just hovering around 15 minute 5k splits. The, pretty much was it 30k? Was that when the last Pacer pulled out? Yeah, it can surely took us to 32k. Yeah, okay. So pretty much just passed the finish line there, but on the other side of the road. Yeah, pace making was spot on. In those guys had the credentials to be able to do that as well. 207, 206 guys, you can't have it better than that. Yeah. So over then you went to work like your 30 to 35k split was 14, 13, 33. So for listeners at home, we're talking about 254 kilometer pace. That's 202 marathon pace. Like you must have been feeling amazing to put in a search like that. Not amazing, but good enough to be able to do that. I was, I've done better than I've ever done in the past with the feeling process. And that makes a huge difference when it comes to, you know, endurance sport in general, but in the marathon it's crucial. You can't really get away with bad feeling. And I picked up everybody along the way except the 30k mark where I messed up a little bit, but I wasn't worried about that. So yeah, so executed pretty well. That's what enabled me to be able to do that. And then like what's going through your head? You take the turn around. You've dropped the two Japanese runners with you. Did you know what pace you were on for? Like did you get any feedback? We hear the story of, you know, Jess Stinson at Valencia getting told that she was really close to Australia marathon pace and she had to find a few seconds in the last couple of case. Did you realize that in those last couple of kilometers? I had it at the back of my head that we could come close to the record, but the 30k mark, 32k mark, I still wasn't really thinking about the record. I was just focusing on getting the best out of myself on that day. That's it. Put everything out there. Don't leave anything in the tank. And you know, I discuss with Adam prior to the race. And he said, just make a decision. Don't be like, you know, in between either stay with the guys or just go make a decision. So I decided to just go with it and take my chances. So then when you come around that final, I guess it's probably about 1.2, 1.3 kilometers and you got the big straight before you then take the dog leg into the finish line. You're still just emptying the tank. That's what's going through your head. There's still no thought of that 20622, the national record from Andy that you want to try to take down. I realized I could be close with about 4k to go maybe. Yeah, someone between 4 to 3k to go. I looked up the lead car and it was showing, oh jeez, I was like right on the dot. Just you know, oh my goodness, I kept looking at my wife. I'm like, I could be close. Don't mess this up. Don't mess this up. And my go at that point was not to really just increase the pace but to maintain momentum and just, you know, keep the effort going and see how close I can get and just yeah, keep pushing all the way to the finish line. Yeah, because that last two That was at 245 pace like you and I'm not sure listeners go out there and see how long you can run at 245 pace for but you really did empty the tank went to the arms. I'm not sure if you looked back at the footage of you watched the race over like you were flying in that straight. It was pretty cool to watch. Yeah, I did rewatch that last five KL so a few times and tell you what I wasn't feeling as good as I was looking. How about the camera angle as well from behind like you're just watching it waiting for you to break the tape and you can see the kind of clock ticking over that you can't see because it's from behind you couldn't really see how close you're actually getting so it was pretty epic watch. Yeah, you can see me looking at the wash as well looking at the look at the time on top of the finish line there. But to be honest, I wasn't sure whether I had it or not when I crossed the line, you know, just to account for I don't know plus plus minus one or two seconds uncertainty. So I didn't quite know that I had it until Ben the GC marathon official came over and told me that it is official. I got a record so that was pretty sweet. How long like of time passed before they told you that like was that a couple of seconds or were you waiting for a couple of minutes to get it officially. Yeah, it was very quick. Okay, that's good. I came back pretty quick. I'll say like a minute maybe. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and the footage of you on the like you looked really exhausted like the fact that you went to the ground straight away and then then you realize you have to stop your watch. And then just seeing all those people in brace you was a pretty special moment. Yeah, yeah, that was pretty amazing, but yeah, I left everything out there, which I was quite proud of, you know, does it happen very often in the marathon, but you never in any race you don't want to be crossing the finish line thinking you could have given a little bit more. So yeah, well said your career as a marathoner like your debut at Hamburg and had a DNF because I think had a knee injury there Sydney was the 2111 and 14th overall in a pretty stacked field and then not a great day for your Valencia last year where you stayed out there, but you come in in two hours and 26 minutes. Did you confidence take a hit from some of those performances before your started goal, guys? Yes and no, you know, when you're starting off, you don't quite have a benchmark to measure yourself against you just going off, you know, what experience has been and just trying to set a starting point for yourself and I've had some people tell me, oh, you've had a pretty smooth transition to the roads. No, I have it. No, that hamburger temp, but that was quite heartbreaking. About 10 days out got injured, but since I was already over there on the other side of the world, I decided to just line up and try my chances anyway. I had the injury just got worse and I pulled up before halfway at about the 20k mark. So yeah, that was quite heartbreaking and then after that Valencia was even more disappointing. I went into Valencia, you know, I was well, I headed over there pretty, pretty fit and confident. I'd gotten, you know, good blocks of uninterrupted training in, but, you know, just the body just didn't pull up very well. And yeah, that was that that did give my confidence a bit of a hit. But at the same time, I knew it was a learning process. That time would come that I would eventually get this right. And, you know, I'm glad to have done that a goal cost. Yeah, get it right, you did. And I guess you take so much confidence in the preparation going into the race like it's been out of look at your numbers. I'm sure with Adam and the training sessions that you guys are putting out there and makes these times that you're chasing quite achievable. Absolutely. So yeah, the months, months and months of uninterrupted training, which is great. And also I've had some support through the VIS strength conditioning and recovery work, which is great to have, you know, even spent a few weeks up and out of light. No, got asked us to the sassy facilities over there and spent a few good weeks of, you know, good training blocks that really helped me come back into, you know, top shape. Yeah. So did you have a bit of a break after Valencia and then as this whole year, like really been an uninterrupted training block with the launch system result. And then the goal cost resulting there as well. Obviously you went to world cross country as well, but it's all been gone pretty smoothly. Yeah, body was a bit wrecked after Valencia, really. You know, I thought I had recovered by the time I had to head over to world cross, but the world cross performance shows that the body didn't quite recover as well as I hope it did. And yeah, that result was quite disappointing. I was aiming for, you know, at least an improvement on my previous walk us result back in Serbia. Yeah, that didn't happen. So had to take some time off after that and just allow the body to recuperate and get back into routine. But since then, yeah, it's been just building a system, a bit of trial and error and working with Adam. To build a system that works for me in terms of strength conditioning in terms of getting the mileage done. Yeah. And is mentioned just spend some time in South Australia. How long was that in total? And then the rest of the time you just doing your solo thing in Melbourne. Yeah, the I spent a couple of weeks over an ally just to get the marathon block of the training done there, you know, to have Adam. Adam support on a bike and also, you know, just to have some company with the TT guys over there, which is great. I would enjoy that. And they were quite accommodating in many ways, which was amazing. And that helped to just, you know, make the preparation more bearable. Yeah, yeah. And then, yeah, the rest is, but do you have anyone on the bike in Victoria when you're trying to hear? Yeah, I have some. I'm Bryce Anderson, my dietician who's been doing an amazing job with the, you know, the feeling process. He's the one that helps me out with that. And which has made a significant difference in my performance. I have Bryce show up on a bike every now and then when I do my training around the other park lake. And also Tom from VIS as well. And I have a staff Monday helped me out with the strength conditioning, which is amazing. But yeah, I do, I do get help. Yeah, yeah, let's still it's not like a massive training group that we see all you would have been a part of when you're at Villanova. And I think you've got six or seven guys sharing the reps, taking one age and then going to life to sit in. Yeah, it's not quite the same setting. Yeah, I mostly get, I get most of my mileage done alone, just like during the week, except on like workout days and Tuesdays and Fridays, maybe Sunday. But otherwise the easy mileage I just got to done on my own is there's good impact to that convenience. But at the same time you want. I don't know. I suppose someone to be accountable to in the long term. Yeah, yeah. I do want to get Adam until I do a real deep dive into your training. But like, can you maybe just give us like a sample week? What did just like a marathon training week look like maybe five or six weeks out? You kind of said they're Tuesday and Friday workouts, but could you take us through like what a Monday to Sunday will look like? I know it's kind of hard to name a normal one because they often change, but what would a standard week if everything goes to plan. Like. Well, you know, the first thing is to just build the aerobic base and most of that is done through like the easy running. So if we're in that phase, it would just be like, you know, on a Monday morning, you do 60 minutes in the morning, 60 to 70 minutes in the morning and then 30 to 40 minutes in the afternoon. And I get a bit of leeway with that. Because I do well with the training, I try to do things off feeling as well, how the body is feeling, just monitor how the body is feeling because if. But he says, you know, it's had enough. You just be digging yourself a hole. So I try to listen to my buddy and Adam is. great with that as well. He takes a lot of feedback to adjust the training. And yeah, Tuesday will be like a workout, depending on what stage in the preparation we're in. It could be like threshold based or as we're getting to the marathon block, it gets longer and longer. So it could be doing like three times 4k with a couple of minutes of a jog recovery in between. And you do that at race pace, three minute pace to 255. And we've even done 5k reps as well. So in the marathon block it gets longer and we try to mimic the racing conditions in some of those reps. I even did in my time at allied, I did a three by seven k right around that three minute pace. Or some lactate testing data we got out of that which was very useful. And then the Wednesday will be a midweek long run, 90 minutes in the morning and then 30 minutes in the afternoon. The Thursday will be a little bit ease off a little bit to 50 minutes in the morning, 50 to 60 minutes. And then 30 minutes in the afternoon. So I just like just ticking off the easy stuff. But I keep it really easy on Thursday in preparation for like a key session on a Friday. And the Friday will be a change depending on what stage we're in in the building phase. But yeah, similar kind of intensity sessions to Tuesday. And then Saturday is my rest day. So I get that completely off. I try to just get my head off everything. Not think about running. Just occupy myself as something else, whatever it is. And yeah, I don't run on Saturdays completely off. That's just I don't run on Saturdays. If I feel like running, I might go for like a 30 minute jog. But or even a 20 minute jog or just go for a walk out like I don't. And that's I found has been important for me to allow my body to recover from the mileage during the week. And also to prepare me for Sunday because Sunday is yeah, long run is critical for marathon runners. And that gives me, it gives my body time to recover. And also just yeah, making sure the body doesn't break down from all the training that you're doing during the week. Yeah. And then Sunday is a big day. Usually early mornings and then yeah, it would be anywhere between 34 to 38 K of running. And intensity of that will depend on what phase we're in. But I usually do it just at easy pace. Anyway, between 355 to say I even I start really slow. I start almost walking pace when I start my Sunday long run. So even a five minute pace. And then by the end, it will get down to 355 or 350. Or depending on how the body is feeling, I might even keep it easier like four minute pace or four 10. It just depends. But yeah. And then when it comes to like building and preparation for races, then as we get closer, the Sunday long runs will have some intensity work in between. Could be doing like, you know, two K reps or three K reps. And then we get going again. And that kind of mimics that really tests your fitness, whether you're ready for these kinds of races or not. Yeah. So that would come out like what 170 to 180 K one a K weeks. Do you track that or just do what's in your program? Yeah. Yes. It's usually between 180 to 190. So if, okay. Yeah. Which is pretty low on mileage is you compare it to some of these world class runners. With the day off though. Like if you ran on Saturdays, that'd be an extra 25 K and all of a sudden you're at 210 pretty quick. Yeah. I'm not sure you're doing a 25 K run on a Saturday is a good idea. But over split over two runs, you know, 70 minutes in the morning, 35 minutes in the afternoon. But that's if you're chasing K so, but you've proven that having that Saturday's off is important for you and you can bounce back and you can run Australian records. So why change it? Yeah. At the end of the day, you know, it depends on how the buddy copes that Adam and I have built this built this program, taking back and forth. You know, but you can't you try to give the body more than it can tolerate than it just breaks down. So, but we're trying to do that sustainably. I think the mild world continue to go up. It probably has to do even better. And yeah, but it has to be done in a way that's sustainable. So yeah. So that's good. Hey, we've got we asked our Patron supporters if they had any questions for you. They're the they're the most knowledgeable listeners in Australian distance running here after. So I've selected 5 or 6. Thank you to all the people at the centre-min. Do you mind if I fire a couple of these? Etchers a bit of a quick fire? Sure. Okay, this one comes from Toby Toby's base down in Jolong. What's the biggest lesson he learned from a race that didn't go to plan and what's a non-negotiable recovery habit he has? The biggest race. Oh, okay. Yeah. The biggest lesson I learned is probably from Valencia. If the body is not right, man, oh, cheesy. You got to you got to do a lot to just keep healthy. If the body isn't right, the marathon can be quite unforgiving. Yeah. So when you go into races, oh, sorry, if that's if that comes across as, you know, as harsh or whatever, but that's the reality out there. Yeah, if the body isn't right, the marathon is quite unforgiving. And I learned that the hard way. But of course, you know, I also learned about injury prevention. You don't have to know everything. And, you know, I had that I had never been injured prior to Hamburg. And I thought, you know, I don't have to worry. I've never had any serious injuries, but then I got injured. So injury prevention, those two lessons are what I learned. And sorry, what was the second part of? Yeah. And non-negotiable recovery habit you have. Sleep. Sleep. How many hours of night you're talking? I try to sleep at least eight hours a night. But yeah, of all the recovery things that athletes do, sleep is always number one. Quality sleep, please. And I have struggled with that, but I'm trying to be better. Yeah. Yeah. This next one comes from Annie. She says congratulations, legend. What in your training block was your favorite and hardest session in this marathon buildup? Thank you, Annie. And I like the longer sessions. I'm getting used to them now because it really tells you whether you're fit enough or it gives you feedback as to like what point your body is in, you know. Yes, you have your program. Yes, you know, you you hope to be you have you hope to be this to have this amount of fitness by that point, you know, in the weeks building up to a race that at the end of the day, you know, the longer races. I mean, the longer sessions in training, they either give you a bit of confidence or they tell you, you know, okay, maybe you need to do a little bit more or allow a bit more recovery or tweak something to enable, you know, to enable you to do better. Yeah. This next one comes from Jacinta. If she followed you around for a week after, what would surprise her the most about your life as an elite distance runner? Tell us more about the Saturdays. I want to know what happens on a Saturday when you're not running. What do you occupy your time with? Right. Yeah, that's a tough question. It would be pretty boring. Just seeing it would get more for the week. Of course, Saturday my lazy day. Good. Lazy day. I don't do anything at all. I sleep in. It's like not much happens. I'm not the kind of person that loves to go out on weekends and I really kind of fall to do that. On occasion, I like celebrate, you know, where celebration is deserved, but that's a tough one. I'm not sure if there's a right answer to that one. But yeah, Saturdays not much happens. Would she be surprised at how like routine and mundane and like You get the work done, you recover, you get the work done, you recover. Yeah, yeah, I always say that's probably the best response there. It is pretty mundane, but it gets the job done. Yeah, obviously, when you run in Australian records, yeah. Scott asks, could we potentially see a permanent move for you from Melbourne to Adelaide to be with Team Tempo all the time? I'm sure some of the people at TT would love that. Yeah, that's all they were talking about, what Adam, I mean Isaac, sorry, Isaac Kane, who came to train with me for a few weeks here. Unfortunately, it was injured by the time he got back to Adelaide. He was supposed to be a day-bearing in Golkho, so we were training together. But yeah, he's been telling me, he's trying to do all these things, trying to set me up for Adelaide. Adelaide's got great spots, great company here, great running spots. But I don't think, at the moment, I don't plan on moving to Adelaide, but you never know, things could change. But I'm open to going back and forth to do training. Yeah, that sounds like a smart idea. A couple of three-week blocks here or there, then get out of there, back to Melbourne. Yeah, home is Melbourne. Home is yeah. Hey, Zach, he asked me at a great run of the weekend. I think he ran 67 minutes in the half marathon, but he wants to know about what your fueling was on race day. And then did you have any supplements like an omio or a bicarb or any nitrates for the race as well? I go with Morton. I've always used Morton and I'm glad to. Grateful to get some free product from them as well. But yeah, it just. My body coax pretty well with it. But yeah, like I mentioned before, you really can't get away with a bad feeling process in a marathon. You pay for it if you do that. And you know, I'm fortunate to have my dietitian, Bryce Anderson helping that out, helping me out with that as well. But yeah, I knew one of the reasons I was pretty confident going into goal coast was. I, I've done much better with the feeling we've tried to like mimic race conditions in training as well with the feeling. It's like just like any other kind of training. You have to train the body and the gut to be able to tolerate that ingesting that amount of carbohydrates and also to be able to process it while it. And race while you're racing. That answer the question. Yeah. So no one, I know other supplements like not the no meows or the by carbs or. No, no, no, no, just higher Morton get the carbs in so you've got the energy to finish. Yeah, carbs are you don't, I don't, I'm not sure if by carbs has been. I guess this could be due to my limited knowledge, but I'm not sure it's been proven to be effective in the longer distances. I know a lot of the middle distance guys use it. And it seems to be working for them to buffer. What is it to buffer like that? I really haven't looked into this very much, but I don't want to make any like misinformed statements about it. That's Bryce's job anyway. Bryce tells you what to have. Yeah, yeah, so Bryce is he's opened ideas, you know, but at the same time we try to stick with what we know works. Yeah, these next two there for me and in Jeremy and they kind of got similar vibes. So does he have someone that he looks up to as a role model or is there a particular person that has played a part in enabling him to achieve this amazing results. And then Jeremy's like I'd love to hear about the people who have played the biggest role in helping you to build your courage and self belief. Is it from family coaches, mentors or running heroes? Was it just come naturally? Well, my mother was shaped the person I am today. And a lot of ways. So the my character, I would say I get it from her. And from like in terms of like taking inspiration from like from sports perspective, I take inspiration from a lot of athletes, you know. Yeah, I take inspiration from some of the, you know, the guy so I still run it. It's during McSwayne is great patting and of course he went to vote over. And my college days and when I was, you know, training here in high school for I went to college, I, you know, I knew that patting and Jordy, Jordy Williams and Pat McSamick, they were a vulnerable, they were, they were part of the decision that I made to go to vote over as well. But you know, there's a lot of athletes that I take inspiration from over the years, the Ethiopian distance runners, you know, they're clearly. And I just last see even Craig my trim, Mofara over the years, so it's been I try to take inspiration from a lot of athletes and learn from them, not only from their, from their success also from their failures, you know, what they learned along the way, the hard learned lessons. And I think you need to give your mum a rea or shout out, she had a big day Sunday on the social media, like I don't think there was any post about you that she did not call on about how proud she was on a we Sam Hopper took a video at the finish line and send it to us that we put on our, like Instagram and Facebook and that it went like viral, like 155,000 views. And this is like proudest message from your mum on there that I pinned to the top and unlike as a parent, as a parent myself, I cannot even imagine how proud she is of what you've achieved. It must be a, what have been a very special hug, I'm sure when you saw her for the first time post race. Yeah, it was, she's, she was very proud and yeah, I wouldn't be here without mum quite literally actually. And yeah, super grateful, it's been my biggest fan and I also have, you know, my uncle George has been taking me to racists in high school days, even joined me to. It shows up some of the races and, you know, I have like a great family, but I've been really supportive. And well, in my whole running journey really. Yeah, well said and the final ones have to people always love asking what's next, even though you've just ran a marathon 72 hours ago. But do we see you go back to the track at all or is it road racing have to strengthen us from here on in? I'm open to, you know, we haven't yet discussed with my agent and coach Adam, but we're trying to figure out the rest of the racing calendar. But in the meantime, you know, I'm not, I'm open to like anything that can help me to perform better as an athlete, but my ultimate goal is to be competitive at the world stage. At the global stage at the major marathons. And I think later this year, I'm hoping Australia sends the team over to world road running champs and in Copenhagen. I think they've got that half marathon there, which I've applied for and. Yeah, that could be an opportunity for a sub one hour performance, sub 60 minute performance in the half. Assuming all things go well and. Yeah, but besides that, that's like best what's coming up next, but besides that we really haven't planned anything past goal course in terms of marathon racing, but who knows I might be showing up to track meets to do 10k sort of 5k sort of to get some of my speed. Better turn over, you know, you never know. Yeah, well, I think you've made agents job a bit easier to get into global marathons now, be in a 206 guy instead of a 211 guy national record holder makes makes their job.
