One of the most versatile American distance runners seems to be taking a hard look at running a marathon soon. At the Bix 7, Anthony Famiglietti told Run the Roads that he’s seriously considering it. When asked, Fam stated in a business-like manner, “I’ve taken a serious, serious look at it. I’ve put together some serious training programs if I want to do that.”
The multiple national champion then went on to tell Run the Roads, “I have this whole thing laid out if that’s what I want to do.” Elaborating a bit more, Fam said part of the reason he raced the Bix 7 (which is a seven mile race), was to test himself over a longer distance against a high quality competition, most notably race winner Meb Keflezighi.
While Fam is still pondering what his next major move may be, a jump to the marathon could create some major buzz around the always energetic distance runner. With American distance runners starting to see success in a variety of distances on the international stage, it seems as if Fam is testing out to see what he can be best at in the coming years. Who knows, maybe it is the Marathon.
