Welcome to The Anchor Point Podcast episode 115 with: Lucas Garrett, founder of Landsharks Running Company. 

In this episode, Lucas shares some important running tips and tricks, such as proper recovery, the importance of sleep, why supplements and PEDs are dumb, and how to become an overall better runner...

Lucas was a football player who wanted to learn how to run faster, but he was told he didn't need to learn to run because he was an offensive lineman. Despite this, Lucas was determined to prove them wrong. He lost 60 pounds, joined his junior college track team, and ran the 1500 and 800. After junior college, he started competing in triathlons and working on all three disciplines.

Lucas' passion for running grew as he discovered that he could compete and loved learning new things about the sport. He earned his Bachelors of Science in Kinesiology and went into the fire service, working up and down the state of California, eventually landing his dream job at the Lodi Fire Department.

But Lucas still wanted something more, so he began reading books by top running experts like Jack Daniels, Matt Fitzgerald, Ben Bergeron, Alex Hutchinson, Brad Hudson, Timothy Galley, Steve Magness, and Ryan Hall. It was a podcast episode with Ryan Hall that ignited a fire in Lucas to become a marathoner and running coach.

Join us in this episode to learn more about Lucas' journey and how he founded Landsharks Running Company to help others achieve their running goals. Whether you're a seasoned runner or just starting out, Lucas' story will inspire you to never give up, and to make it through the fire season un-injured and an overall better runner!
