Unbeaten for nine years, 9 months, and nine days…

Edwin Moses was money. He defined preparation, training, and implementation.


At a young age, Moses was a lot smaller than the other runners. In high school, he was 5-feet-7 tall and weighed 117 pounds and frequently found himself at the back of the pack during races. But as he grew physically, he got faster and progessively found himself leading races, rather than trailing.

Then at Morehouse College, Moses – a physics and engineer major – used maths to calculate that he needed to take exactly 13 steps between hurdles to maximize efficiency in the 400-meter hurdles.

Loved watching him run.

I was telling my kids about him a few weeks ago after the Olympics. It was almost weird how dominant he was. I still have not figured out how to watch this documentary.

It looks like the first showing will be at Morehouse.

Edwin Moses documentary '13 Steps' shows how clearing the hurdles was the easy part for a track icon

Not long after Edwin Moses figured out how to attack the solution to track’s ultimate math problem, he transformed himself into the best hurdler in history
