Mark Everett is a 3-time Olympian, World Champion and World Record Holder in the 600 yards. With personal bests of 44.59 and 1:43.20, he is still easily one of the best 400/800 combination runners in history.
In our conversation, we touch upon various topics including, being born in Brooklyn but growing up in Florida, his entry into T&F, his relationships with other athletes in different events and how they helped him during and after his career, and we dive to how the sport is represented today and how athletes at all levels of success can really leverage social media to tell more compelling stories to draw fans in.
We also discuss how, if he competed in the 400m Hurdles, he could have run under 46 seconds!
