Today on the podcast, I have the great privilege of speaking with national champion, Irene Riggs. Irene recently won Nike Cross Nationals (NXN) and had a historic season, forever cementing her legacy in her home state West Virginia. The special thing is that Irene has two seasons left to add to her incredibly storied career already.

In this conversation, Irene and I dive deep into her running career, life, goals, and different experiences that have shaped her into who she is today. We discuss her past XC season, including her NXN win, how her twin sister Caroline has impacted and inspired her, choosing Stanford, and her goals for 2023. This conversation was a ton of fun and inspiring as well. Whether you're a seasoned runner or just starting out, you'll find something to relate to and learn from in this episode. Irene is an incredibly insightful and inspiring guest, and we're sure you'll find something valuable in this episode.
