Later in the meet, he placed 6th in the 3k claiming Tennessee's best finish in the event at nationals since 1995. All of these accomplishments in the indoor season paved the way for Dylan to win the highly prestigious "National Athlete Of The Year" award.

NCAA All-American Alex Ostberg Shares His Wisdom On Perspective, Gratitude, Taking Action, & Being A Life-Long Learner
I am thrilled to welcome back the one and only, Alex Ostberg. Alex is an eight-time All-American. He competed at Stanford University for four years before transferring to the University of North Carolina to get his master's degree. Alex holds PRs of 3:58 in the Mile, 7:49 in the 3k, 13:18 in the 5k, and 28:49 in the 10k. He also has his Bachelor's Degree in human biology, a minor in psychology, and a master's in public health. Alex is an incredibly perspicacious speaker who has a wealth of knowledge, experience, and depth. Alex is the person who I have often referred to on previous podcasts as "my mentor." Besides my parents, Alex has contributed more to my life than anyone else I know. Put simply, I would not be the person I am today without him, nor would this podcast exist. In this conversation, Alex shares his wisdom on perspective, handling adversity, gratitude, taking action, being a life-long learner, and how many days he thinks he can last in a room of darkness (will make more sense when you listen to the podcast). I always walk away from my conversations with Alex enlightened and a better version of myself. I'm confident you'll say the same after listening.

Superstar Natalie Cook Shares Her Journey From Breaking National Records To Ambitions In The NCAA
The one and only, the legendary Natalie Cook, comes on The Running Effect Podcast today! Natalie is one of the most accomplished athletes of our generation. Natalie currently competes for Okhlama State University, where she has quickly cemented herself as one of the top NCAA runners in the country. Most recently, she placed 7th at the 2022 NCAA Cross Country National Championships. Then a few weeks later, she followed that up by running a blistering 15:24.26 in the 5k. In high school, Natalie was named the Gatorade National Girls Cross Country Player of the Year in 2021, becoming the first female athlete from Texas to win the award after she was the first athlete in girls' high school history to win both the Garmin RunningLane and Eastbay Cross Country Championships for the coveted individual national championship double. In the former, Cook recorded the second-fastest 5K time in high school history, posting a time of 16:03.93 to win the individual championship. She also won the Texas 6A state championship race by a historic 56 seconds on her way to helping Flower Mound to the team title. This conversation was one I've been wanting to make happen for far too long, so it was a true honor to make it happen!

I am stoked to welcome Emma Bates to the podcast! Emma is an incredibly accomplished marathoner who has competed at the highest of stages. Emma grew up in Minnesota, where she consistently performed at the highest level in her state.

Emma currently competes for Asics and is a member of Team BOSS based in Boulder, Colorado. Since moving up to the marathon, Emma has consistently been one of the best in the world. In 2021, Emma placed second at the renowned Chicago Marathon. Last year Emma placed 7th at the 2022 Eugene World Champions in a personal best time of 2:23:18 (5:27 pace). Needless to say, Emma is at the forefront of US Women's Distance Running. In this conversation, Emma takes us through her preparation leading into the 2023 Boston Marathon, including a mind-boggling long run, how she works on the mental side of the sport, dealing with setbacks and comparison, giving advice to high school Emma, what it's like being coached by Joe Bosshard and being a member of Team BOSS, what she wants to be remembered for, and so much more! I loved this conversation with Emma. Emma is an incredibly joyful spirit and wise demeanor that made this conversation extra thoughtful. I'm confident you'll walk away from this conversation a little more inspired to go after whatever you're striving for in life.
