For the 3rd Episode of Off the Track with John W. Davis, I chatted with Steve Magness of DC Elite.

You may remember Steve from his days as a Dyestat forum legend under the name “sjm1368″.

This podcast is a great trip into the mind of Magness.

We discuss his new affiliation with DC Elite (Coach Raczko and Alan Webb), German Fernandez’s “It Factor” and how it feels to be a 24-year-old post collegiate runner with a mile PR from your Senior year in high school. (4:01.02 in the Mile at 2003 Prefontaine Classic)

Overall, Steve seems focused and in good spirits about truly giving post collegiate running, the goold ole’ college try that never seemed to translate on the track during his time at Rice University or the University of Houston.

To follow Steve, check out at his blog aptly named On and Off the Track. (Sounds familiar!)

For the Inaugural Episode of Off the Track with John W. Davis, I linked up with “Super Senior” Jason Richardson of South Carolina.  In April 2009, Richardson became one of the only three-time individual event champions in the storied history of the Penn Relays. His only loss, a 2nd place finish his freshman year in 2005.

Often injured, Richardson comes into the 2009  outdoor season with intense focus and a renewed spirit after missing the final NCAA Indoor Championship meet of his collegiate career due to a strained left hamstring. Overall, Jason is definitely a great interview and a knowledgeable Track fan with great insight and analysis on and off the track.

With an improved start, Richardson hopes to lower a PR of 13.21 in the 110m Hurdles at the 2009 USA Outdoor Championships in Eugene, Oregon.
