Catching Up With Lawi LalangPublished by
Coming off one of the finest NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championship performances of all-time, winning both the 3,000m and mile events in ridiculous times, University of Arizona junior Lawi Lalang is eyeing a historic outdoor track season. We caught up with Lalang this week as he continues to focus on his training and getting ready for the championship meets. Scott Bush (SB): Coming off of a very successful indoor track season, where you won two national titles, what are your goals for this outdoor season? Lawi Lalang (LL): My main goals for this outdoor season is to finish strong and God willing win the 5,000m title. SB: You've focused quite a bit on 1,500m and 5,000m during the outdoor season in the past. Any chance we'll see you take a stab at 10,000m this spring? LL: Right now we have no plan for doing any 10,000m, may be next year. SB: What's your next big race coming up? LL: An NCAA national is my next big race; I am not doing Payton Jordan or Mt. SAC Relays. SB: At the University of Arizona, you have a couple volunteer coaches on your staff like Bernard Lagat and your brother Boaz Lalang. What's it like having those two around to learn from? LL: Both of them have been role models to me and mentors, so I have really good training with them. We really support each other. SB: How did you first get into running competitively? LL: I first got into running competitively once I arrived in University of Arizona, about two years ago. SB: What did you learn from your third place performance at the NCAA Cross Country Championships this past fall? LL: I learned that you need to give out some in order to get more, which is what my coach told me. Moreover, I did not push myself hard during cross country like when I was a freshman, since we wanted to have a good outdoor season. SB: At this point in the season, what does the typical week of training look like for you? LL: Right now my mileage ranges from around 65-75 miles per week. I do about two workouts per week. I do weights two to three times a week. Quick Six SB: Your college major? LL: Public Health SB: Favorite race distance? LL: 3000m SB: Favorite food? LL: Pizza SB: Best band? LL: Rayland Baxter SB: Shoes you train in? LL: Pegasus 29 SB: Longest run you've done? LL: 16 miles Hashtags#lawi-lalang #bernard-lagat #university-of-arizona #ncaa-cross-country-championships #boaz-lalang
