Trevor Hofbauer misses the thrill of the race.
The 28-year-old Canadian is most famous for crushing the Tokyo Olympic marathon standard in a seven-minute personal best in 2019. The fact he did it without wearing a watch for pacing purposes â racing at its most pure â practically launched him into running folklore.
And so, while Hofbauer can rest easy knowing that his spot on the Olympic team is locked up, his 2020 racing season was scrubbed by COVID-19. And with no definite race on the horizon until the Tokyo Olympic marathon, getting out the door some days feels like a grind.
And so, while Hofbauer can rest easy knowing that his spot on the Olympic team is locked up, his 2020 racing season was scrubbed by COVID-19. And with no definite race on the horizon until the Tokyo Olympic marathon, getting out the door some days feels like a grind. For me, competition is huge. And just not having a competitive field to battle against kind of takes away some of that purpose as to why I train, Hofbauer said.
The six-foot-three Hofbauer, who played basketball through high school, finds inspiration in his favourite player, the late Kobe Bryant. The athlete that he was and the mindset and his work ethic, and what he brought to the game, he left 100 per cent of what he had on the court every single day, I kind of view my training the same way, Hofbauer said.
