But this year marks something new. After an adductor injury forced him out of the Olympic Trials and cost him a shot at Paris, Klecker is stepping into the next phase of his career \u2014 the roads. We chronicled much of this transition last winter when we produced a mini-documentary series on Klecker facing off against Conner Mantz and Clayton Young in January.<\/p>\n<p class=\"rich-text--normal\">In January, he ran his first half-marathon in Houston and ran 1:01:06. By spring, he was grinding through the U.S. road circuit with races in Atlanta, D.C., Boulder and learning what it takes to trade spikes for super shoes. And now, he\u2019s taking on the biggest debut of all: the New York City Marathon.<\/p>\n<p class=\"rich-text--normal\">In this episode, we talk about that transition, the process of learning the roads in a very public way and how he\u2019s dialed in a plan for a successful day in New York.
