Malcolm Hicks - aka Hicksy - has competed at an elite level on the track and road over all distances for many years and represented New Zealand at the Worlds in Doha last year running the marathon in extremely challenging conditions where he performed extremely well. Hicksy has only ever raced 4 marathons with the first being 2018 Berlin running a 2:16 and the last being a 2:10 in Sevilla in February this year. With the Tokyo Olympic qualifying standard of 2:11:30 set for the marathon, Hicksy is placed in a great position to pick up another black singlet, competing for his country at his first Olympic Games come August next year in Sapporo.  A great yarn with a fine runner and top bloke, Enjoy!      Malcolm Hicks Instagram - www.instagram.com/hicks_m/   Greatly appreciate your support for the podcast on Patreon -www.patreon.com/therunningguypodcast   The Running Guy Podcast Singlet -www.therunningguypodcastsinglet   The Running Guy Coaching Website - therunningguy.com.au   Instagram - Instagram.com/therunningguypodcast   Facebook - facebook.com/therunningguypodcast/   Join The Running Guy Podcast Strava Club -  strava.com/clubs/therunningguypodcast   YouTube Channel youtube.com/channel/UCAvM0q11KzHkLBoL0LX_9lw   Opening music - Artist: Dan Henig Song: Flames Closing music -  Artist: Dan Henig Song: Wood   DanHenig.com   Hey guy's if you are enjoying listening to the show and would like to make a small donation of support then follow this PayPal link https://paypal.me/astonduncan?locale.x=en_AU
