Even though he was a collegiate runner, Nadler discussed how difficult it was to run the 26.2 miles.

“The race was super tough. I had to run the race by myself much of the way. There was a group way ahead and way behind me. My legs were a bit tired, but I managed to finish well.”

This was only his second marathon. He completed the California International Marathon in Sacramento in 2 hours, 18 minutes and 17 seconds.

He has cemented himself as one of the top long distance runners in the world. Nadler will continue to represent the University of Florida as he qualified for the Olympic Trials in February of 2020.
