"I trust my training for the past three years. It hasn't failed me"

Christian Patzka joins D3 Glory Days to talk about his exciting 5k championship, what he looks forward to this season, and why he's trusted his training through college.

In this era of running, you can find what other people are doing very easily. Patzka doesn't get caught up in what others do and continues to trust the way he's been training throughout college.

He came into Whitewater as a 4:30/9:40 type high school athlete and credits his big jump to the consistency in his training.

A big spark for him this year came after a narrow defeat in the Steeplechase at the 2022 outdoor meet. A fast 3 mile run at 1am in the parking lot of the hotel gave him a lot to think about.

With 2 fulls years left in D3, Patzka plans to make the most out of his time left.
