Fresh off of his first World Championships appearance is the one and only Ben Flanagan!

If you're not familiar with Ben, he has slowly cemented himself as one of the best Canadian runners of all time in his few short years of being a professional runner. He is the Canadian half-marathon record holder with a time of 61:00 and has won the prestigious Falmouth Road Race three years in a row (gaining the name "The King of Falmouth" in the process). In addition, he won the 2018 NCAA 10k title while competing for the University of Michigan. Ben is currently sponsored by On Running and is a member of VNTC based out of Ann Arbor, Michigan. He just competed in his first World Championships in the 5k in Budapest, Hungary.

In today's conversation, Ben recaps the past six months of his life and all the ups and downs that he's experienced. He goes into the chase of qualifying for his first World Champs, the race itself, what the rest of his year looks like, reflections, and much more. Any time I get to chop it up with Ben is a good time, and I hope you'll join us for this fun and insightful conversation!
