The Sunday Shakeout

Ep. 135 - Running 14:46 5K XC In Your First Year Training With Footlocker All-American Yohanes vanMeerten


Listen Later

Today on the podcast is Yohanes vanMeerten.


Yohanes is a sophomore out of Flagstaff High School in Flagstaff, Arizona. Yohanes is one of the rising stars in the world of high school running. He holds PRs of 14:46 for 5K, he also has ran altitude converted track PRs of 1:59 for 800, 4:19, for the mile, and 9:10 for 3200m.


The craziest thing is that Yohanes didn’t start truly training and devoting himself to the sport until that last summer. He even claimed that he didn’t even know what Footlocker Nationals was until 5 weeks before he went, where he became an All-American in one of the most historic high school meets. So this dude is a crazy talent.


Yohanes had a lot of amazing insights to share today. He talks a lot about grounding yourself in the moment, how to take pressure off, and his faith of God being a huge factor in his success, all of which, made an incredible conversation today, and stay tuned, because you won’t want to miss it.


Before we get into this episode, if you haven’t already, then please, wherever you are, in your car, at work, on a run, give this podcast a follow and a five-star review on whatever platform you are listening on. That goes a long way in supporting the growth of The Sunday Shakeout so that I can keeping bringing to you some of the greatest stories in the sport of running and in that process, share love and passion for track and field and distance running.


I hope you enjoy my conversation with Yohanes vanMeerten!
