THE RUNNING EFFECT PODCAST

Today on the podcast is NCAA Champion, US Olympian, and Coach, Robby Andrews! 

He recently launched his coaching business called "Miles to Go" where he hopes to help athletes reach their goals no matter where their journey is starting. 

Robby has run 1:44.71 (800m), 3:34.78 (1500m), and 3:53.16 (Mile). 

Back in HS, Andrews attended Manalapan High School. As a senior in 2009, he set the U.S. high school indoor records for both the 800m, at 1:49.21, and the 1000m, at 2:22.28.

In today's conversation, Robby takes me through stepping away from the sport, if his incredible success early on was a blessing or curse, his foray into coaching, and much much more!

I really loved this one. Robby is one of a kind and brings a lot of great wisdom to the table, on top of being a fun, energetic guy. Don't miss this one!

Throughout the years, some of my favorite episodes have, funny enough, been with kids from the same high school, Valor Christian. 

The man who coached these athletes is Coach Greg Coplen. After hearing so many positive things about him, I knew I needed to get him on the podcast and pick his brain. 

Coach Coplen coached at Valor Christian in Highlands Ranch, CO, for 10 years and is now starting his 2nd full year at Chaparral High School in Parker, CO. 

He's coached five teams in four different years, at two different schools, that finished the season in DyeStat National rankings, four of those finishing in the top 10 in the country. Throughout his tenure, he's coached state champions at nearly every event in both genders. 

In his first year at Chaparral High School, he helped coach the five boys' State Champions and oversaw the emergence of the girls' cross-country team, which finished third in the state of Colorado, sixth at Nike Southwest Regionals, and 27th in the country. Before last season, the Chaparral girls had not been ranked in the top 10 in the state in over 15 years.

In today's conversation, Coach Coplen takes me through how to flip around a program in one year, how to instill excellence in your athletes, how to handle setbacks and disappointment, the lessons he's learned from coaching high-level athletes like Cole Sprout & Ashley Jones, the legacy he wants to leave behind in the sport, and much more! 

This conversation was absolutely fantastic. I personally have many takeaways, and I hope you'll take the time to listen to it!

Graham also happens to be an Olympian. He placed 9th in the 5k at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. 

Last November, Graham won the 2023 NCAA title on the grass and two weeks later put an NCAA record to his name. Graham went undefeated all of the 2023 Cross Country season culminating in him winning the 2023 NCAA XC Title. He won in a time of 28:37.7 on ⁠Panorama Farms⁠ in Charlottesville, Virginia. He became the first-ever Ivy to win the men's cross-country individual national title. 

Just two short weeks later, Graham lined up for his first race of the indoor season against a historic field, and ran a breathtaking 13:03.78 to win the race and set a new Collegiate Record. 

In today's conversation, Graham recaps his historic outdoor season, the road back from injury, how to maintain belief in yourself when things aren't going well, making his first Olympic team, his thoughts on his final year in the NCAA, exclusive stories from the Olympic Village, and much more!

Hobbs is also a World Road Running Champion and holds the World Record for the Road Mile. Hobbs is also a Bronze Medalist from the 2024 World Indoor Championships in the 1500m. 

In today's conversation, Hobbs takes me through his 1500m performance at the Olympics, his take on USA 1500m running, his 2024 season, his thoughts on Jakob sticking with the 1500m, him never winning an XC State Title, going pro out of HS, and so much more.

80 minutes of obsessing about running, discussing college, how to get the most out of your life, and so much more! 

That's today's podcast. 

And there's no better human jam on those subjects with than Mr. Obession himself, Zach Pogrob. 

Zach has created next-level content over social media over the past few years and has amassed a following of over 1.4 million followers on Instagram alone. He's one of the best writers I've ever read, and his writings have profoundly impacted my life. 

Zach has also recently fallen in love with the sport of running and has thrown himself fully into the fire of seeing how far he can go in this sport. In his first Marathon, on next to no training Zach ran a 3:16:30 Marathon. In his second marathon, Zach ran 2:55:14. He's a beast. 

This podcast was one of my all-time favorites. It's just two humans who want more out of their lives having one of those late-night talks about everything on their mindown. You won't want to miss this one. It's special.

Back on the podcast is a household name, Shannon Thompson MAPP, NCCP! 

Today's conversation particularly centers around how to get the most out of your training and racing through simple mental performance skills that you can put to practice this cross-country season.

We also dedicate a portion to talking about parents and their effects on an athletes athletic/life success. We dive into the courses Shannon has created to help this audience. 

If you're not familiar with Shannon, she's the mental performance counselor who works closely with NAU, NAZ Elite, UA Dark Sky Distance, and a plethora of top professional runners. As an athlete and a coach, Shannon has always been fascinated by the psychology of well-being and achievement. Her interest regarding the power of the mind to impact an athlete's performance and overall experience drove Shannon to complete an undergraduate degree in psychology, and then a Masters in Applied Positive Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania. 

Through listening to this podcast episode, you'll walk about with practical tools on improving mental performance that you can directly apply today.

Kate has quite a remarkable career at every level and recently announced her retirement from the track. 

In HS, she was a multi-time state-champion while competing for  Marlborough School in Los Angeles.

Attending Yale University, Grace broke four school records, won six Heps championships (one as a member of a relay team), and was a four-time NCAA Division I Track and Field and Cross country All-American.

After the 2024 US Olympic Track & Field Trials where she made the 800m Final, Kate announced her retirement from Track & Field. As she details in this conversation, she's not fully done with the sport and will potentially seek to attack a marathon in the future.

Kate and her husband Patrick have a son named River who was born in March 2023.

In today's conversation, Kate takes me through her last month since "retirement," lessons and reflections from her long, successful career, her ambitions in the marathon, her hope to be a coach one day & lessons learned from her coaches throughout the years, and so much more!

I truly loved this conversation and gained so much from Kate's wisdom.

Today on the podcast is one of the youngest, most successful coaches in the NCAA, Coach Ian Moini. 

Entering his fourth season coaching the Tar Heels, Moini has helped turn the program into one of the best distance running programs in the country, finishing fifth in the Program of the Year rankings by the USTFCCCA. He has directly coached four Tar Heels to 10 individual ACC championships. His tenure has also featured team success, such as the Tar Heels winning their first ACC Cross Country Championship since 1985 and their first ACC Indoor Championship since 1996, while achieving their best finish, 5th place, at the NCAA Indoor Championships since 1973.

Moini has been a part of rewriting history, with six current school distance records being set since his arrival in Chapel Hill. Eight of the top 10 outdoor 5,000m performers have been coached by Moini in the past three years. In his third year at Chapel Hill, Moini coached Parker Wolfe to become North Carolina's first 5,000m national champion at the 2024 NCAA Outdoor Championship.

Ian Moini joined the UNC track and field and cross country coaching staff prior to the 2021-22 season. He works primarily with the Tar Heel men's and women's distance runners. In 2022, he was helped sign the No. 5-ranked men's distance recruiting class in the nation.

Moini is a 2021 UNC graduate with a bachelor's degree in education and a minor in coaching education. He was a member of the varsity cross country and track teams at Carolina. 

He utilized his last semester of college to volunteer coach at Eastern Michigan University in 2021. While there, he worked with the men's and women's distance runners. The men's team won the Indoor MAC Championship and Baldvin Magnusson placed seventh in the 3000m at the NCAA Indoor Championships.

In today's conversation, we go into Ian's journey as a coach and as a successful athlete himself to get to this point. We dive into his years as a coach and the lessons he's learned along the way!

Today on the podcast is newly minted Olympian James Corrigan! 

James has had quite the wild past few months going from 9th at the NCAA Meet to placing third at the US Olympic Trials. Because James didn't have the Olympic standard or enough world ranking points, he had less than a week to chase the Olympic Standard time. James flew out to Penn and got the job done, qualifying for his first Olympic Games in Paris. 

James has run 4:01 in the Mile (at altitude), 8:13 in the steeplechase, 13:30 in the 5k, and was an All-American in his first NCAA Cross Country Championships. 

James will be a junior this upcoming fall at BYU.

I have the privilege of speaking with Peter Louis! 

Peter is the founder and visionary leader of Braveheart Ministries. Based in Dallas, Braveheart exists to see the image, character and nature of Jesus Christ formed in people.

Peter lives in Dallas with his wife, Kristi, and five children.

He has written four books to date: Back to the Gospel, Back to Pentecost, Keep the Blood Warm and Now That You’re Born Again. 

Peter played Professional-Soccer for FC Dallas and had a very successful career as a soccer player before his current life. 

Peter is also a big runner, having run marathons & ultra-marathons. He ran a marathon to celebrate his 40th birthday a few months ago (discussed in the episode).

Peter is extraordinarily gifted at speaking on a plethora of topics, and I pick his brain on so many today. Peter shares his thoughts on pain, addiction, modern-day struggles, why worldly desires will never fufill you, smiling while running, and so much more! 

Take the time to be blessed by Peter's wisdom. It blessed me immensely, and I know I will do the same for you. Please DM me with how this one impacts you!

Today on the podcast is 3:31 1500m runner Vince Ciattei!

Vince runs for Under Armour's Dark Sky Distance based out of Flagstaff, Arizona!

If you're not familiar with Vince, you will be soon. He's been on an absolute tear as of late.

Vince won the 2024 Trials of Miles race in 3:50.56, track personal record and #7 U.S. all-time indoors, and in April, he earned his second USA Road Mile title at the Grand Blue Mile, setting a course record and just missing the world record with his 3:56.97. This past week at the U.S. Olympic Trials, Ciattei finished fourth in the 1500m, running 3:31.78, a massive PR.

In 2023, he won Monmouth Mile in 3:52.56, and in September, he finished 4th at the New Balance 5th Avenue Mile, setting a personal record of 3:50.3.

In 2022, the rising star captured his first national title at the 2022 Grand Blue Mile in Des Moines, clocking 4:04 (4:03.2), and in July, he defended his Fleet Feet Liberty Mile in 4:04.

In 2021, he won the Fleet Feet Liberty Mile in Pittsburgh, tying the event record (3:59), finished third at the Downtown Yakima Mile (3:56), and was a 1500m finalist at the U.S. Olympic Trials.

At Virginia Tech, Ciattei was the 2018 NCAA 1500m and indoor Mile runner-up and with his Hokie teammates, also won the NCAA Indoor Distance Medley Relay and the National 4x800 Relay Championships.

In high school at Perry Hall, he won Maryland state titles in the Mile & 3200m (indoors) and 800m & 1600m (outdoors).

In today's conversation, Vince takes me through the raw emotion of being one spot off the Olympic team, lessons from his career, and much more!

Back on the podcast is NCAA Champion Parker Wolfe!

Parker won the 2024 NCAA Outdoor Title in the 5k, taking down debately one of the most stacked fields of all time. 

Parker also placed 9th at the 2023 NCAA XC National Championships, set a bunch of new PRs, and placed 2nd in both the 5k and 3k at the 2024 NCAA Indoor National Championships. 

In addition to these recent accomplishments, Parker was first-team All-America status in three sports during the 2022-23 academic year: cross country, indoor track & field, and outdoor track & field. He holds records, such as setting a school record and an American Junior Record (U-20) in the 5,000 meters. In the 2022 NCAA Indoor Championships, he secured fifth place in the 5,000 meters, earning first-team All-America honors once more. He also gained first-team All-America accolades for the third time in the 2022-23 academic year, excelling in the outdoor 5000m event. In cross country, Parker's accomplishments are equally impressive, being named the 2022 ACC Men's Cross Country Athlete of the Year and earning All-America honors.

In today's conversation, Parker takes me through his NCAA Title win, all that led up to it, the power of believing in yourself, his future, the training that led into this race and more.

I always thoroughly enjoy my conversations with Parker and walk away feeling inspired.

He was the first Colorado high school runner to break 9 minutes for 3,200 in a race run in Colorado. He ran 4:02.42 in the mile in a May, 2020, when a 4:02 was like what a 3:58 is today. He won six Gatorade state athlete of the year honors – three in track and three in cross country. He also won seven state championships – doubling in the 1,600 and 3,200 in 2018 and 2019, in addition to his cross country titles.

Today on the podcast is the youngest guest in the history of The Running Effect Podcast. 

His name is Erik Semling. He's in 8th grade and 13 years old from the state of Minnesota. As an 8th grader this past Fall, he placed 6th at his HIGH SCHOOL (yes, you read that right) State Meet. 

Erik has run 15:09 in the 5k, which is an unofficial age group world record, and 31:17 in the 10k, which is an official age group world record. Again, this kid is only 13. In 2022 he became the AAU Indoor 3000m National Champion and has only improved since then. 

In today's conversation, Erik takes me through his start in the sport, setting world records, an in-depth look at his training, his ambitions in sport, handling hate, and so much more!

Today on the podcast is Carter Solomon. 

If you're not familiar with Carter, he is an accomplished long-distance runner who has achieved significant success in both cross country and track. He is the 2023 ACC Outdoor Champion in the 10,000 meters and the 2022 ACC Cross Country Champion in the 8K. He has qualified for NCAA championships multiple times in both cross-country and track events. In the 2023 cross country season, he competed in six races, with his best performance being a 22nd-place finish at the NCAA DI Great Lakes Region Championships. During his junior year, he placed seventh in the 5000 meters at the NCAA Championships and set personal records in several events, including a 13:26.11 in the 5000 meters and a 3:57.13 in the mile. As a sophomore, he won the 3000 meters at the Blue & Gold Invite, and as a freshman, he posted notable performances including a PR in the 6K. In high school, Carter was a two-time All-American, four-time all-state selection, and led his team to a state championship, earning accolades such as Mr. Cross Country in Michigan and Michigan Gatorade Runner of the Year.

In today's conversation, Carter takes me through his journey and progression in sport, what it's going to take to ascend to the next level within the NCAA, his years and experience at The University of Notre Dame, his thoughts on the incoming recruiting class, and much more!

I always love these conversations with the top NCAA guys and have no doubt you'll find value from this one.
