Q&A: Olympic speed skater Apolo Ohno

Subway Famous Fan and Olympic speed skater Apolo Ohno is taking a break from the ice to hit the asphalt in Sunday's NYC Marathon.

This will be the first marathon for Ohno, but he hopes to cross the finish line in three-and-a-half hours.

Subway’s donating $26,200 to the Special Olympics if I finish in four hours he said. This marathon’s become a real race. The Special Olympics speaks to me.

While many train for a year or more, the 29-year-old announced his involvement about six months ago and didn’t start training until May.

Ohno spoke with amNewYork Thursday about his last-minute preparation.
