THE RUNNING EFFECT PODCAST

LIKE | SUBSCRIBE | SHARE (: In episode fifty-two of The Running Effect, I speak with Micaela DeGenero. After battling Covid earlier this year, Micaela bounced back making her first-ever NCAA Indoor Championship meet. After qualifying for the final, she texted her boyfriend saying, "I just hope I don't get last place". Not only did she make the meet, but with a 61-second last lap won her first-ever NCAA title in dominant fashion. In this episode we go through Micaela's backstory in the sport of running, her years of running at Michigan, why she thinks it's important to focus on achieving high marks in the classroom, what went into the decision to transfer to Colorado, how she's dealt with injuries and low confidence, her journey to making the NCAA meet, her championship race, and so much more! It was an absolute pleasure getting to speak with Micaela for the first time and hear her inspiring story. Keep your eyes peeled for lots more of Micaela on the national stage!  S H O W  N O T E S Micaela's CU Profile: https://cubuffs.com/sports/track-and-field/roster/micaela-degenero/15619 Article on Micaela Winning: https://cubuffs.com/news/2022/3/12/track-and-field-degenero-captures-mile-national-championship.aspx NCAA Championship Race: https://youtu.be/wwtPoVC_twc

Elise is quickly cementing herself as one of the greatest American Women distance runners of all time. Just within the past thirteen months, she has won her first Olympic Trials (in the 5k), competed in her first Olympics, set a new American Record in the indoor 5k (14:33), and the second time in American History in the 10k (30:14). Some of the topics we cover in this episode include: -Her Olympic experience from racing to the exotic food -Her American Record in the 5k and #2 time in the 10k -Her decision to donate her prize money from "The Ten" to the "Katie Myer Memorial Fund" and why we need to start discussing mental health more -Her involvement in "Voice in Sport" and why she thinks it's important to give back to the sport -In a culture that is so fixated on results, how she has tried to detach yourself from what others think -What she thinks the biggest misconception about Bowerman Track Club is -The biggest lessons she's learned from her teammates The amount of wisdom and advice Elise provides in this episode is incredible. Elise is a phenomenal runner, but an even better human being. The impact she is having on and off the track is astounding!

LIKE | SUBSCRIBE | SHARE (: In episode forty-nine of The Running Effect (with Dominic Schlueter), I speak with my good friend Sean McGorty. In this episode, we go through Sean's crazy past year. 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.

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.
