Jack Anstey - From the Outback to Flagstaff: the Highs & Lows of an Aussie Pro! | RunChats Ep.140


Listen Later

Meet Jack Anstey, we covered his journey from "the Outback" in Alice Springs, Australia, to the US for college at Illinois State University—where he initially struggled to find his footing before becoming an All-American and enjoying the best years of his life.


After graduating in 2021, Jack signed his pro contract with Under Armour, moved to Flagstaff, and enjoys training with Mission Run Dark Sky Distance.


His running achievements include:

-2x Australian record holder for the 1000m and road mile

-A mile personal best of 3:51.51

-A 1500m personal best of 3:35.37

-He's been to multiple world championships representing Australia and finished top-10 in 2023

-NCAA Division 1 first team All American while at Illinois State


I TRULY enjoyed our conversation. Go give Jack a follow and I hope you enjoy the listen!
