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. Adam had a lot of amazing things to say at such a young age and I know you will find value from today’s episode.

We talk all about Adam’s early success and journey in the sport of running, the importance of becoming a better person, not just a better runner, how Adam finished last at his middle school conference meet, and then came back the next year a completely different runner, his thoughts on the idea of talent, and much more.
