Back for her fourth appearance on the podcast is Elise Cranny! Every episode I've done with Elise has gotten a big reception and I'm always personally impacted by her so I thought I'd get her back on.

Elise drops so many nuggets of wisdom in this one. Every episode I do with Elise I'm blown away by the amount of wisdom she brings. When people who have recently discovered the podcast ask me what episode they should listen to first, I always reply, "Any of the ones with Elise!". She is truly an amazing person who does so much good for so many people's lives. Lastly, Elise is currently on a mission to raise $10k before May 27 for a non-profit organization called, "The Hidden Opponent".

Lex Young Recaps Running A Historic 13:43 5k As A Junior In High School
Less than 24 hours ago, Lex Young, a junior in high school, ran the second-fastest 5k ever by a US high schooler. Lex ran 13:43.95 putting him #2 all-time right behind the legend Galen Rupp. He did this at Sound Running's "Track Meet". I thought it'd be a cool idea to get his immediate thoughts post-race and got him back on the podcast! We do a deep dive into the race last night. From his intentions going into the race to mentally willing himself forward when the lactic hit to his post-race stomach struggles.

In episode sixty-one of The Running Effect, I have the great privilege of speaking with Lex and Leo Young. While I'm sure 99% of you are familiar with them, for those that aren't, Lex and Leo are two of the greatest high school distance runners in history. And they're only juniors (: Following in the footsteps of their older brother Nico, Lex and Leo run for Newbury Park High School. Newbury Park is debatably the greatest high school distance program ever. Since freshman year, Lex and Leo have completely rewritten the record books. If I were to write a list of their accomplishments I would run out of space on this post. The scary thing is that they're only juniors and have a whole nother year! In this episode, we dive-deep into their start in the sport of running, all things Newbury Park, handling pressure from the outside world, future goals, and so much more! We also do a little twin trivia to find out which twin knows the other one the best! This episode is a really fun one and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

In episode fifty-nine of The Running Effect, I speak with Jesse Williams. Jesse is the CEO and Founder of Sound Running. Prior to starting Sound Running, Jesse was the Senior Sports Marketing Manager at Brooks Running for fourteen years. Using the skills he learned at Brooks, he then went on to start Sound Running. At Sound Running, Jesse has completely transformed how meets are run. Some of the biggest meets he has put on are The Ten, Under Armour Sunset Tour, Brooks PR, and the American Track League.

The State of The Running Effect Hosted By Olympian & American Record Holder Elise Cranny | A Deep-Dive Into The Beginnings & Future Of The Podcast
This week's episode of the podcast is a very unique one. In July 2020, I started The Running Effect, and since then, I've had the great privilege of speaking to over 60+ amazing guests. Many of you who are avid listeners of the podcast probably don't know the origins of the podcast. So when my good friend Elise Cranny came to me with the idea of doing a show giving listeners an inside look at who I am and how The Running Effect started I couldn't pass! In this episode, we go through my start in the sport of running (which is actually quite hilarious), where the idea of starting a podcast came from, lessons learned from almost 60 episodes, and many other fun questions! I hope this episode will give you all an inside look at the inner workings of this podcast and what our future plans look like! Starting a podcast at 15 years old is far from normal, but I'm immensely glad I did. Being able to help fellow young runners in their pursuit of success is a very rewarding feeling. I hope to continue to push the sport forward through this podcast. Lastly, a massive thank you to Elise for hosting this episode. She's been one of my biggest supporters from Day 1 and is constantly helping out behind the scenes. I joke that she's the CEO of the company, but twisting the meaning to Chief-Encouragement-Officer. Elise truly is one of the most selfless, encouraging, and kindest people I've ever had the privilege to know. One of the most important pieces of advice I was given early in life was to surround yourself with people who will push you to be the best version of yourself. Elise has certainly done that and then some! Not only has Elise helped me become a better human being, but has helped improve this podcast as well. Professional athletes will always say that they strive to be good athletes on and off the track, and Elise is the gold standard for that. If you want to help us out please like, subscribe, and share.

Bowerman Track Club's Thomas Ratcliffe Talks About Running 4:01 (Mile) in High School, Stanford Years, Dealing With Injuries, And More!
In episode fifty-seven of The Running Effect, I speak with Thomas Ratcliffe. In high school, Thomas was a phenomenal athlete. Some of the most notable accomplishments were a handful of state titles and running 4:01 in the mile (a Massachusetts state record). Not only did he excel in running, but also in soccer where he led his team to a state title. To my knowledge, he's the only boy to win a soccer state championship in the Fall and then run 4:01 in the mile the following Spring. Thomas then went on to a successful career at Stanford. As a freshman, Thomas was named the PAC-12 Freshman of the Year. The few following seasons were spent rehabbing some serious injuries. After recovering from those, Thomas placed third at NCAAs in 2019 in the 5k. The following year, Thomas transferred to the University of North Carolina where he finished out his NCAA eligibility. Following the NCAA outdoor championships last summer, Thomas signed with Nike and The Bowerman Track Club! He is currently a member of the team training for some big upcoming races in the next few months. In this episode, we do a deep dive into Thomas's career from high school all the way up to the present day. We go through the ups, downs, and everything in-between! It was a pleasure getting to know Thomas and hear his story. I can't wait to see what this year has in store for him! If you want to help us out please like, subscribe, and share.

Mindset Coach Anna Rohrer Does A Deep-Dive Into The World Of Mental Performance
LIKE | SUBSCRIBE | SHARE (: In episode fifty-five of The Running Effect, I speak with Anna Rohrer. In high school, Anna was a phenomenal athlete. She was a two-time Foot Locker National Champion and was the Gatorade Cross Country National Player of the year in 2014-2015. Anna then went on to an extremely successful career at the University of Notre Dame where she was an 8-time All-American. At Notre Dame, Anna got an undergraduate degree in Neuroscience and a master's degree in business management. Anna uses both the skills she learned as an athlete, and skills she learned from studying Neuroscience in both her jobs currently. Firstly, Anna is a mindset coach at a company called, "Dreamfuel". At Dreamfuel, Anna teaches high level companies the mental performance skills needed to maximize their performance. She also has her own company called, "Next Level Racing" where she trains athletes both physically and mentally. In this episode, we do a massive deep dive into the mental performance world. We talk about and go through subjects such as: confidence, belief, pressure, goal-setting (and how dopamine affects it from a neurological standpoint), the importance of being process-oriented, the importance of failure, visualization, and so so much more! Whether you're the best runner in the country or the CEO of a company, the wisdom Anna shares in this episode is very applicable to everyday life.

Colleen Little, PT, DPT, OCS, On Lessons Learned From Working With The Bowerman Track Club, Tokyo Olympics, & Project Eclipse!
LIKE | SUBSCRIBE | SHARE (: In episode fifty-five of The Running Effect, I speak with Colleen Little PT, DPT, OCS. Colleen is a full-time physical therapist for Nike working closely with the renowned Bowerman Track Club. Before becoming a PT, Colleen was an accomplished soccer player at the University of Portland where she was a 2xNCAA champion (2002 & 2005). After she graduated college she started running and has actually won two marathons in her career. In this episode we dive deep into Colleen's incredible soccer career where she won two NCAA titles and the lessons she learned from her legendary Coach, Clive Charles. We then dive into her time at the Bowerman Track Club, helping Shalane Flanagan come back from knee surgery, the Olympics, fixing Grant Fisher's calf right before his 5k prelim, Project Eclipse, and so much more! Many people see the results of the Bowerman Track Club, but don't see the people behind their success. One of the main people behind their success who gets little recognition is Colleen. Colleen works day in and day out to make sure these athletes are healthy to maximize their potential! Colleen was also a vital part of "Project Eclipse". This project was for US distance legend Shalane Flanagan to run all six World Marathon Majors within 42 days. Colleen was there every single day helping with whatever Shalane needed. Shalane ended up finishing this momentous challenge and attributes a lot of her success to Colleen's care and guidance. Anyone that has spoken to Colleen will know she's more than just a world class PT, but also a world class human. I thoroughly enjoyed my conversation with her and hope you do as well!

Nico Young Shares His Journey: NAU & Newbury Park, Lessons Learned, Dealing With Pressure, & Being One Of The Best Runners In The Country
LIKE | SUBSCRIBE | SHARE (: In episode fifty-four of The Running Effect, I have the great privilege of speaking with Nico Young. Nico is undoubtedly one of the greatest prep stars that America has ever had. In high school, Nico cemented himself as one of the greatest high school runners ever (in my opinion he's the greatest). In just his senior year, he went undefeated all year and won NXN setting a course record along the way despite horrible conditions. He was also excellent in the classroom with a 4.68 GPA. Excelling both academically and in running, Nico won the 2019-2020 Gatorade Boys Cross Country & Track and Field Player of the Year. An award reserved for only the best of the best. Due to the pandemic, Nico never got the chance to compete his senior year track season which makes his high school career accolades all the more impressive! After Nico graduated high school, he then went onto attend Northern Arizona University (NAU). At NAU, Nico has only continued to flourish. Within just two years, Nico is one of the top runners in the NCAA. Last summer Nico qualified for the US Olympic Trials placing 9th in the 5k final beating a handful of professionals. He has also placed top-ten at multiple NCAA championships and helped his team win team titles. Nico currently holds the US High School National Records in the 2k & 3k and US U20 indoor and outdoor 5k records. Many people see the results, but don't see all the work that went into the result. In this episode, we try to unpack Nico's successful career the best we can! We do a big deep dive into Nico's career from his start in the sport in fifth grade to his future in the sport. We talk about pressure, having a "process over outcomes" mindset, working on the mental side of running, working with two amazing coaches in his career (Mike Smith and Sean Brosnan), NCAA Championships, what makes NAU special, and so so much more! It was an absolute pleasure to talk with Nico and get a deeper understanding of his journey in this sport! I can't wait to see what the future holds for him. The saying "The sky is the limit" is truly the case for Nico Young. Nico's high school coach encapsulates just how special Nico is with this quote, "I don’t know when I will ever see another athlete with Nico’s talent or ability to push himself beyond his limits along with the curiosity to see how truly great he can be. He’s a once-in-a-lifetime athlete." If you want to help us out please like, subscribe, and share.

She most notably holds personal bests of 31:52 (10k) and 14:48 (5k). In high school, Vanessa was a two-time state champion in the state of California and helped her team to reach the state tournament for the first time in school history. During her time at Stanford, she helped her team finish runner-up twice in the DMR and still holds the school record of 15:09 in the 5k. Vanessa's college coach Chris Miltenburg would tell his athletes to "leave the team in a better place than you found it". Vanessa certainly did that and her impact on the Stanford program is still felt to this day. After Vanessa graduated, she signed with Nike and The Bowerman Track Club. In this episode we dive deep into Vanessa's career; the ups, the downs, and everything in-between! Vanessa has battled a lot of adversity in her career, from massive Achilles surgery to not performing as well as she would have liked to in many races. Vanessa shares invaluable insights on confidence, trying to be process-oriented, learning from teammates, goal setting, and so much more! Vanessa embodies the definition of grit. Grit as defined by renowned psychologist Angela Duckworth is having, "passion and perseverance for long-term goals." Vanessa's passion and perseverance for the sport of running is truly felt in this episode. I personally can't wait to see what the future holds for Vanessa!

In 2021, he got his feet wet (pun intended) in a new event the steeplechase, underwent his second-ever Achilles surgery, and narrowly fell short of making his first Olympic team. I personally can't wait to see all that Sean has in store for 2022 and beyond! A quote from Winston Churchill that I think embodies Sean's mindset well, "Success is going from failure to failure without any loss of enthusiasm". Sean has sacrificed so much to get to the level he's at now and continues to have a positive and contagious attitude. He's gone through two massive Achilles surgeries, missed an Olympic team, and battled other adversity, but yet still keeps on fighting. Sean's fighting spirit is one of the most inspiring things I've ever seen.

Kieran is a national record holder from 1500m-10,000m! In this episode, we go through Kieran's start in the sport, his years at Harvard, and now all that he's doing at the Bowerman Track Club. We go through topics from the viral moment of him winning a race after losing his shoe to his Olympic experience in Tokyo this past summer. Kieran has set multiple national records over the past few years cementing himself into being one of the greatest athletes to ever come out of Thailand. Kieran's work ethic and dedication to the sport of running is incredibly inspiring. I personally can't wait to see all that Kieran has in store for 2022 and beyond! It was a pleasure to chat with him and get to know him better. You can watch Kieran run 25 laps around the track on Saturday night at "The Ten". Keep your eyes on the clock for a potential new national record 👀 S H O W N O T E S Kieran's Bowerman Profile: https://www.bowermantc.com/kieran-tuntivate-bio Kieran's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kierunner/?hl=en Kieran's Harvard Profile: https://gocrimson.com/sports/mens-track-and-field/roster/kieran-tuntivate/23291 An article on Kieran losing his shoe and still winning the race: https://www.si.com/extra-mustard/2019/03/01/friday-hot-clicks-harvard-runner-kieran-tuntivate-foot-injury-photo

The Journey of Biking 11,389 Miles Solo Around The United States With Matt Welch
LIKE | SUBSCRIBE | SHARE (: In episode forty-six of The Running Effect (with Dominic Schlueter), I speak with Matt Welch. In this episode, we go through his incredible journey across the US. During this incredible trip, Matt traveled 11,389 miles over 185 days (72 miles per day on average when riding). He spent 97 of those days sleeping in his tent which was usually on the side of a road. Perhaps my favorite statistic is that he consumed 15 jars of peanut butter during the trip. We do a deep dive into this incredible trip. All the ups and downs and everything in-between! It was truly incredible to hear about this experience so I hope you come away a little more inspired to chase after that big goal you've always dreamed about chasing.
