THE RUNNING EFFECT PODCAST

Today on "The Call Room: Road To Seattle" is National Record Holder Sadie Engelhardt! 

Back on the podcast is NCAA stud Parker Wolfe!

Since I last talked with Parker in September, he placed 9th at the 2023 NCAA XC National Championships, set a bunch of new PRs, and placed 2nd in both the 5k and 3k at the 2024 NCAA Indoor National Championships. 

In addition to these recent accomplishments, Parker was first-team All-America status in three sports during the 2022-23 academic year: cross country, indoor track & field, and outdoor track & field. He holds records, such as setting a school record and an American Junior Record (U-20) in the 5,000 meters. In the 2022 NCAA Indoor Championships, he secured fifth place in the 5,000 meters, earning first-team All-America honors once more. He also gained first-team All-America accolades for the third time in the 2022-23 academic year, excelling in the outdoor 5000m event. In cross country, Parker's accomplishments are equally impressive, being named the 2022 ACC Men's Cross Country Athlete of the Year and earning All-America honors.

In today's conversation, Parker takes me through all of his recent success, what has gone into it, his vision for the coming months, why he hasn't signed an NIL deal, his thoughts on a draft coming to running, if Nico Young can be beat, and much more!

I always thoroughly enjoy my conversations with Parker and walk away feeling inspired.

Less than 400 people have ever completed the Transcontinental Run across the United States. 

Recently, Paul Johnson became one of those people, and one of the fastest to ever do it, completing the trek in 52 days and averaging 59 miles a day (yes, you read that right.)

Paul is passionate about inspiring others to get up, engage in physical activity, and find their own positive outlets. Paul discovered that military and veteran communities are particularly prone to struggles with mental health due to the nature of everything they do and experience, and because of this, Paul dedicated this trans con run to Team Red White & Blue. He raised over $590,000 for this important cause. 

In today's conversation, Paul takes me through his journey and progression within the sport, the logistics behind planning a trans con run, how he preserved despite wanting to throw in the towel every single morning, what's next, and so much more!

Man, was this conversation inspiring. One of the things that Paul shared with me that struck me was how, just a few years ago, he felt like his body was "literally going to fall apart running 30 miles a week," to then averaging 59 miles a day on this run. His story is one of dedication and the power of running for something bigger than yourself.

Today's podcast is an exploration into the world of mental performance and simple practical ways in which you can improve it to ultimately improve yourself as a runner and in everyday life. We go through this exploration with the one and only Shannon Thompson, MAPP, NCCP. This conversation particularly centers around how to get the most out of your training and racing through simply mental performance skills that you can put to practice. 

Shannon is the mental performance counselor who works closely with NAU, NAZ Elite, UA Dark Sky Distance, and a plethora of top professional runners. As an athlete and a coach, Shannon has always been fascinated by the psychology of well-being and achievement. Her interest regarding the power of the mind to impact an athlete's performance and overall experience drove Shannon to complete an undergraduate degree in psychology, and then a Masters in Applied Positive Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania. 

In this conversation, Shannon. I am 100% confident that you'll learn new things about mental performance by listening to this episode and be able to implement easy practices into your daily routine that will help you become a better runner and version of yourself.

Through listening to this podcast episode, you'll walk about with practical tools on improving mental performance that you can directly apply today.
