My conversation this week is with the head coach of Herriman High School and formerly Great Oak HS, Coach Doug Soles. His Herriman high school boys are the reigning champions of NXN nationals and he recently wrote a book called "Building Championship Cross Country Programs." 

We speak about the book, his rise to the top, and what makes the sport of cross country so special. Enjoy!

Today I sit down with one of the top high school runners in the state, Jordyn Young. She is a class act student, athlete and leader. I was lucky enough to coach her in the 2021 XC season when she was an 8th grader. Headed into her junior year, she hopes to help lead a talented crew of freshman to the top of 5a!

This week I talk about my experience in Flagstaff, AZ with my host Matt Fitzgerald! I learned a lot from Matt. He is a gracious host, wonderful running coach and author. This is a city and trip I will not soon forget. Hopefully this inspires you to go on your own Dream Run vacation or at the very least, seek out a fun adventure to go learn from new people and see new places. It's a great wide world out there.

She wrapped up her track season with Edge Running Club with some state records and more first place hardware.

Today I sit down with one of my favorite authors and thought leaders, Michael Bungay Stanier. I've had this one circled on the calendar a long time. Michael makes complex ideas simple. He asks simple yet powerful questions to get people to discover their next big thing.

I'm so happy to be speaking with a legend of the Jr Cougars (and now high school runner), Ori Goren! She is a fierce competitor yet a kind and caring soul. She moved here from Israel right before Covid hit and she found her social network through running. Enjoy her story.
