What makes Deena special? Check out a bunch of cool videos on the RW site, shot as she prepares for the Olympic Trials

"There's no secret in our training programme", says Deena "...what really makes the athlete stand out from the next -- at an elite level -- is the amount of time you put into the exemplary things, the ancillary work, the stretching, massage therapy, the work in the gym, all the other things to make us a more well-rounded athlete."

The US women's team for the Olympic marathon is to be decided at Boston on April 20. Runners' World has put up a bunch of inspiring videos of Deena Kastor in preparation: see her training, getting massage and stretch treatment, and more... here.
