This is the second ever panel episode of The Sunday Shakeout and I partnered with Jean Claude, also known as Startline Running on Instagram. He is the other voice in today’s conversation and asks a lot of great questions, so it was a fun one today. We talk all about their thoughts on what went down in the Super Bowl, including Jean Claude losing a bet and having to run 24 miles. We also talk about what it took for Isaac to go from 76th at State his Sophomore year running 17:06, to being second and dropping 15 flats on a weekly basis, and what event they think would be the perfect match in the middle for them. I also asked them what they thought the over/under would be in 4A for each event this season, their thoughts on mentality and rivalries, and so much more.

Michael holds PRs of 4:06 (Mile), 8:14 (3000m), 14:01 (5000m), 29:51 (10,000m) Last time I had him on the show was in early September, right before he started his cross country season at Salt Lake Community College, an NCJAA School. Now, y’all might be thinking: "JUCO? Who would want to run for a JUCO school?” I will tell you straight up before getting into the conversation, not enough people take Salt Lake and JUCO in general seriously. Many of the guys who run there are sub 4 guys, 60 minutes in the half marathon. JUCO is no joke, and especially a team like Salt Lake, that won a national title. In fact, in today’s conversation, Michael talks about how just this past weekend, the team went up to UW and beat 5 or 6 D1 squads. So, JUCO demands respect. Michael ran at Gonzaga for a bit so he’s the real deal. Aside from that, Michael and I had an awesome conversation today. We talk all about the vibrant running culture in Utah, the personal journey for Michael transitioning to JUCO, and some of the experiences and valuable lessons he has learned, what it means for him to find purpose in the sport, and so many other things. Michael is such a wise dude. He has so many amazing things to say and is very intentional with his life and how he carries himself.

Cooper is a Sophomore out of Northwest High School, and is one of the best 800m runners in the nation. Last June, as a freshman, Cooper stunned the field at the 2024 Brooks PR 800, running 1:47 and beating a star-studded field with his crazy kick in the last 200, setting the Freshman National Record. He also won the Brooks PR JR 800m as an eighth grader, and is a State Champ in the 800m, NON Champ in the 800m, and to be honest, the list goes on and on. I could go on and on about how talented this guy is and everything he has achieved only as a Sophomore, which is the same grade as me right now (lol). In my chat with Cooper today, we discuss how he solo time trialled an 800m in the middle of December and ran 1:52, what it meant for him to break the Sophomore Indoor 800m Record, running a converted 1:49.8 at the Texas Tech Invitational.

Yesterday was an attempt at a 3-peat. Seattle Prep XC Boys Team was attempting to be one of the few teams in Washington XC 3A state history to win back-to-back-to-back state titles. The favorites going into today were the boys from Mercer Island High School. In our minds, however, we were the favorite. Today, I review a very disappointing and emotional loss at the State meet that we faced. This includes my whole experience from Monday-Saturday of this past week, the trip itself, and some of the lessons that we are using moving forward. The phrase we said to each other was "you are bigger than the moment". But sometimes, it doesn’t go the way you planned. Legs feel heavy, the gaps start to form, and all the expectations we carried on our shoulders start to weigh us down. The finish line came, but the result—well, it wasn’t what we had fought for. Not this time. That’s when the phrase truly matters. Because it’s not just something you say when things are going your way. It’s a belief, a mindset, a call to rise above, especially when you fall short. It’s about understanding that when everything comes down to one race, one chance, one defining instant, you are not defined by that moment . Yes, we stumbled, and yes, we felt the sting of disappointment. But those moments don’t take away the months of grinding workouts in the rain, the countless miles logged in the early morning darkness, or the brotherhood forged through shared struggle. All the work, all the pain, all the sacrifice—that’s what defines you. The moment doesn’t make you; you make the moment And this moment, while a failure, is only a short chapter in our book on SPXC. We still have a lot more book to write.…

Manny is a senior in Wisconsin who just yesterday won his third consecutive state title, becoming only the third person in his division to three-peat in the history of Wisconsin State Cross Country History.

Today, Manny and I talk all about the experience and emotions of winning back-to-back-to-back state titles, his thoughts on how to effectively run hills in cross country, being one of the favorites going into NXN this year, why he thinks high school rankings are a double-edged sword, and much more.

This week on The Sunday Shakeout is a training review! I am a firm believer that the process of reflection is something that is crucial to getting better in the sport of running. This is not only from the standpoint of running, but also staying injury-free, making more intelligent training decisions, and having better "Running IQ" as my cross-country coach would call it. I talk all about my Sophomore XC season starting in June with summer training, some of the injuries and sicknesses I faced and how I responded, and how I can improve some of the systems in my training in order to mitigate setbacks. I also go over some of the varsity races I competed in and how I set almost a 100-second PR in the 5K. The idea of mental skills and mental acuity is something that I also talk about today. With sickness, I find that I lose not only physical fitness and ability, but my mental skills and focus declines quite a bit. I have found that racing after sickness has been quite poor and my ability to push through pain and process moves in the middle of races is poor. It takes much more time to build that back up after being injured. So many stories. So many tips. So many reasons to tune-in! I hope you all enjoy this episode of The Sunday Shakeout.

Having dealt with calf problems, asthma, running alone, and tons of adversity, hardship, and disappointment, Kurtz has made an incredible story and shares it on today's podcast. We talk all about Kurtz's high school journey and transformation, his thoughts on the importance of team culture, and the inherent greatness that community can bring on an individual and team-level, as well as some of the most defining moments in his career, a preview of his final cross country race in high school, and more!

However, during COVID, he began to train for ultramarathons. In this first attempt at the Leadville 100 as an unsponsored athlete, he won. Adrian later signed with On and is now a professional athlete. Adrian and I talk all about mental toughness and the mental skills required to be successful in an ultramarathon, his experience in the Leadville 100, why he thinks running is such a special sport, some of the biggest lessons that he has learned, and much more!

Sometimes all it takes is committing and acting upon one dream. You don't have to have it all figured out for you to just start. Just pick up a mic, start posting, and the rest will come.

Today on the podcast is Adam Foley. Adam is a freshman and Laramine Prep High School in North Carolina, and he has been ranked as high as the 6th fastest freshman in the nation. In his first indoor 3200 in middle school this past winter, Adam ran 9:47. He also ran 2:00.9 in the 800, coming off an injury, as well as 4:13 for 1500. Adam is definitely one of my more articulate guests that I have had on the show, so I highly recommend tuning in to my conversation with him today. So many great insights and ideas that I think, really anyone, from high school, collegiate, runner in their 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, doesn’t matter.

This week on the podcast is Ben Nagel! Last December, Ben graduated from Virginia Tech as a sub 4 miler and 1:47 800 guy. He trains under Ben Thomas with guys like Cooper Teare and Cole Hocker. But what is most impressive about Ben, is that in high school, his fastest mile that he ran was 4:40, which, on most competitive times, would be a solid JV time in high school. But having that huge transformation from running 4:40 to sub-4 was incredible to hear. Some of the stories and lessons that he shares today were incredibly inspiring for me personally, as I am in the mid 17s for 5K cross country my Sophomore year, and hearing Ben and his journey shows that we can do so much more than we think we can achieve and it’s up to us as to whether or not we want to chase it. So, I had a blast chatting with Ben today. He had a lot of amazing things to say and I know that you will enjoy it as well. We talk all about what it is like to be coached under Ben Thomas, transitioning to running post-collegiately, the journey to the sub-4 barrier, his experiences with setting and achieving goals, his best advice for runners who want to be great, and much more.

Michael has ran for Gonzaga University in Spokane Washington. Right now, his situation is a bit complicated, living in Salt Lake, but Michael is nonetheless making a huge mark in the sport, with personal bests of 8:14 in the 3000 meters and 14:36 in the 5000 meters. Before Gonzaga, he had a remarkable high school career, including a 12th place finish at the Eastbay National Cross Country Championships and, 2nd at the Brooks PR 3200. Michael also holds a special passion for mountain running, having competed for Team USA in the Mountain Running World Championships twice, in Thailand and Australia. But today is about much more than the times. Michael and I delve into many of the deeper lessons and aspects of life that running is very much connected to: the importance of embracing both good and bad days, how spirituality, his connection with God, and running interconnect for him. Michael also touches on his goals and the broader role of running in life. Whether you are in middle school, high school, college, or a recreational runner, this episode is for you.

This week on the show is Andre Mathew. Now, right now, this is normally where I list off my guest’s PR’s or accolades, but the fact of the matter is, Andre is a JV runner. He runs somewhere between 19 and 20 minutes for 5K. However, times and accolades are not the focus of this episode. Andre has been running for about a year now. However, his story is extremely interesting, sustaining a stress reaction in his tibia in March and ultimately suffering until June. However, he is on his comeback. So, why Andre? Why not get some super fast runner on the podcast? Well, the fact of the matter is: JV runners have awesome stories. There is still plenty to learn from them. Andre is a perfect example of that. Despite not being on the top seven, Andre works just as hard as anybody on the team and has the desire to be great. He puts the work in. And that, that is awesome. And I know that for most high school runners out there listening, being a JV runner is extremely relateable. The ups and downs and the story of Andre that you will hear in my conversation with him, really sheds some light on that area of high school running. You really, really won’t want to miss this one. If you haven’t already, please consider giving this podcast a follow and a five-star review on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
