Ahmed Muhumed’s rise in American distance running almost didn’t happen. In this episode of the Marathon Handbook Podcast, host Alex Cyr talks with the HOKA NAZ Elite athlete about quitting his job, moving to Flagstaff with just $150, and betting everything on becoming a professional runner. Ahmed opens up about belief, recovery, elite mileage, finishing fourth in the 10,000m at U.S. Championships, chasing the American half marathon record, marathon ambitions, and what it truly takes to live like a pro athlete (00:00). The conversation also explores mindset, gratitude, financial realities of pro running, content creation, and what comes next on the road to LA 2028 (25:20).
