Today on the podcast is the elite duo of Parker Wolfe and Ethan Strand.
If you're not familiar with Parker or Ethan, they are two of the greatest (if not THE) runners in Tar Heel history.
Parker won the 2024 NCAA Outdoor Title in the 5k, taking down debately one of the most stacked fields of all time. Parker also placed 9th at the 2023 NCAA XC National Championships and 7th at the 2024 edition, and placed 2nd in both the 5k and 3k at the 2024 NCAA Indoor National Championships.
Ethan has the school record in the Mile running a 3:54.62, is an ACC Champion, NCAA All-American in both track and XC, a finalist in the 1500m at the 2024 US Olympic Trials, and most recently placed 8th at the 2024 NCAA XC National Championships.
Both are also NIL athletes for NIKE.
In today's conversation, Parker and Ethan recap their XC season, including exclusive insights and stories from the ups and downs of the season. We also dive into their friendship and how that has evolved over the years, how they've become leaders within the UNC program, their ambition for their track season, their bet going into the BU 3k this weekend, and so much more.
This conversation was both insightful and a ton of fun. I hope you will take the time to be enlightened by the wisdom of two of the best NCAA runners we've seen in quite some time.

Today, I have the privilege of speaking with one of the greats, Shannon Rowbury.
Shannon is one of the most decorated American middle-distance runners, known for her incredible range and longevity in the sport. A three-time Olympian (2008, 2012, 2016), Rowbury is a World Championship bronze medalist in the 1500m (2009) and has broken American records in both the 1500m and 5000m. Her personal bests showcase her versatility and speed: 2:00.03 in the 800m, 3:56.29 in the 1500m (former American record), 4:20.34 in the mile, 8:29.93 in the 3000m, 14:38.92 in the 5000m (former American record), and 31:03.29 in the 10,000m. Throughout her career, Shannon has been celebrated for her consistency, tactical prowess, and role as a pioneer for women in track and field. Her legacy continues to inspire the next generation of runners.
Shannon is one step away from being reallocated a 2012 Olympic 1500m bronze medal. Shannon has been moved up from fourth place to third place in World Athletics' results.
Shannon is also a mother of two boys, in the midst of writing a book, a Sports Broadcaster & In-Stadium Announcer, and so much more.
In today's conversation, Shannon takes me through the biggest lessons and learnings from her wildly successful career, being upgraded to Bronze from the 2012 Olympics, and the emotions that come with that, what separates the good from the great, and much more.
This conversation was a true privilege and pleasure to have. So many good insights in this conversation, don't miss out on the chance to learn from one of the best.

Today on the podcast is Ben Crane!
THE ZACH LEVET SPECIAL
Today, I have the privilege of having a conversation with a man who pioneered running YouTube for years. He was one of my main inspirations to create content within the running space, and for that I'll be forever grateful.
If you know Zach, you love Zach. His content was second to none for many years. Many people (including myself) religiously watched him every Tuesday evening and were inspired in ways we hadn't been before through his gift of storytelling. He amassed over 100,000 subscribers on this journey.
Zach not only hit that milestone, but dropped out of college (after running D1 for William & Mary), started multiple companies, lived out of a van, lived all across the US, and created throughout it all.
As you'll hear in this conversation, there were many highs, lows, and everything in-between in this journey for him that he shares for the first time publically in today's conversation.
Today's conversation was an absolute gift, and I hope you take the time to listen to it. From hearing about the YouTube years in-depth to the logistics of his current role with Ryan Trahan, to his ambitions for triathlon and the future, you won't want to miss this one.
You can watch the episode both on our YouTube Channel (The Running Effect Podcast) or Spotify or listen on your platform of choice.

Back on the podcast is NCAA Champion & Olympian Maia Ramsden!
This past year, Maia became the first woman in 20 years to win back-to-back NCAA Division 1 titles.
Maia has run a New Zealand National Record of 4:02.20 in the 1500m, 4:24.79 in the Mile, 8:46.84 in the 3k, and 15:29.06 in the 5k.
In her senior year of cross country last year, Maia finished 10th overall at the 2023 NCAA Cross Country Championships.
Maia had one of the most dominant 2024 seasons of anyone in the NCAA ever.
In February 2024, Maia set a new personal Mile best of 4:24.83 in the Wannamaker Mile at the Millrose Games in New York. She then qualified for the final of the Women's 1500m at the 2024 World Athletics Indoor Championships in Glasgow, with a national indoor record time of 4:06.51. She finished tenth in the final with a time of 4:06.88. At the 2024 NCAA Division I Indoor Track and Field Championships on March 9, 2024, Maia set a new meet record to win the Mile in 4:25.13. On May 18, at the Los Angeles Grand Prix, she broke the national 1500m record with 4:02.58.
She then, on June 8, went on to win an NCAA title in the Women's 1500m to go back-to-back and forever cement her legacy within the NCAA.
She competed in the 2024 Paris Olympics for her country of New Zealand, where she made the semi-finals.
Maia signed with On and the OAC and is entering her rookie season with them.
In today's conversation, Maia takes me through XC memory throwbacks, reflections from her remarkable year in the NCAA, her biggest reflections from being the greatest runner in Harvard program history, her ambitions in this next chapter of life, and so much more.
Maia always brings deep insights to the table, and today is no different. Don't miss the opportunity to learn from one of the best!
