If you were to ask Daniel Winn where he's from, he'd say New York. That's not true. He's originally from Portland, Oregon and graduated from the University of Oregon but his heart has always drawn him to New York City. On this episode, you'll learn a lot about how he went from a walk-on on the Ducks' track team to very briefly into the indoor mile record holder. He was a finalist and placed 8th at the 2016 U.S. Olympic Trials 1,500 meter final. He currently trains with the Brooklyn Track Club.

In addition to his love for running, Daniel is also a comedy writer and overall great guy. With plenty of funny stories to share, it's easy to see how we ended up with our longest episode yet.

(Plus a special announcement from Jeanne + changes to the podcast)
