The Sunday Shakeout

Ep. 112 - From Setback To 12th At RunningLane | Inside The Mind Of Freshman State Champ Erik Semling


Listen Later

Today on the podcast marks the return of Erik Semling!


Last time I had Erik on the podcast was back in August right after the Olympic Games in Paris. We discussed all the action that happened at this year’s games, as well at the 70 minute half marathon that he ran at just 14 years old. Today, being Erik’s third time on the podcast, we discuss his freshman cross country season that he just ran.


Let me run off some accolades:

  • Minnesota 1A State Champion in 15:23
  • 21st at the NXR Heartland Championship race in 15:09
  • 12th at Runninglane Nationals in 15 flat

  • Despite all of this, Erik says that he was disappointed with his season. Today, we will unpack his mindset, motivations, how we is working on speed and strength over the winter, why accountability is so important, and much more.


    If you haven’t already, please consider giving this podcast a follow and a five-star review on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. That goes a long way in supporting the growth of this podcast so we can inspire more people in the world of running and in that process grow this great sport that we all know and love. Along those lines, if you thought this episode was impactful or left a mark in any way, please share this with a teammate, a friend, your grandma, someone who you think could get a smile or a learning from today’s show.


    Thank you so much to all of my listeners for the support!


    Please enjoy my conversation with Erik Semling.
