Today’s  guest is Ahmed Muhumed, one of the most versatile distance runners in the U.S., competing at a high level across cross country, track, and the roads.

From a collegiate career at Boise State and Florida State to becoming one of the country’s top professionals, Ahmed’s path has been defined by steady progression and belief in long-term development. Since turning pro, he’s earned multiple national titles on the roads, represented Team USA on the world stage, and continued to lower his personal bests from the 1500 meters through the 10,000.

In recent seasons, Ahmed has placed among the best at USATF Championships, become the seventh-fastest American ever in the 10,000 meters, and secured qualification for the 2026 World Cross Country Championships. But beyond the results, his career reflects patience, adaptability, and an ability to show up year after year across disciplines.
The hour conversation explores the mentors and communities that shaped Ahmed, and what it’s meant to navigate the sport as a Somali American athlete.
From being “thrown to the wolves” early in his career to representing something bigger than himself on the world stage, this episode centers on growth, perspective, and running as more than results.
“I run for more than myself. The purpose is far greater than just running.”
