We’ve got a Bowerman Bro on the show today! Evan Jager is a two-time Olympian (2012 & 2016) and runs for Nike with the Bowerman Track Club. He holds the American Record in the 3,000 Steepchase and trains under coach Jerry Schumacher and Pascal Dobert.

Evan ran for the University of Wisconsin for only one year before turning to Professional running. It was a bold move and we talk about the decision to follow his coach (Jerry Schumacher) and pursue his dreams in Portland. He finished his college degree while training professionally in Portland. Shortly after turning pro, Evan suffered an intense ankle injury that left him not running for 6 months. We talk about navigating that in this episode, along with moving from a 5k runner to the Steeple Chase as his main event. We also talk about successes and other hard times in his career; like when he he won a Silver medal in the 2016 Olympics or when he was on track to break the 8 minute barrier in the Steeple and fell on the last water jump in Paris in 2015 at the Diamond League. Evan proves that when competing at the highest level, having the right mindset ad being your best self in training and come race day are a huge component to success.

Enjoy!

Allison is a Short Track Speed Skater, a 3-Time Olympian, Bronze Medalist and holds the American Record in the 1500M. In 2009 she had a traumatic injury, breaking her leg on the the track during competition, and came back to win a bronze medal just one year later at the 2010 Olympic Games. Allison talks about the process of getting back to a good place mentally to compete again and gives us some guidance on how that kind of comeback is achieved.

Allison is also an inspiring entrepreneur – living out her dream right now as she launches her active luxury fashion line. She grew up watching her mother help find the perfect wedding dress for Brides and has been enthralled by fashion ever since. She tells us all about the process of making that dream a reality and her goals for the future with it. DREAM BIG friends.

I was honored to talk with Courtney Frerichs for episode 86 of I’ll Have Another Podcast. Courtney is a middle distance runner who specializes in Steeplechase. Courtney competed in the 2016 Olympic games in Rio, and this past summer won a Silver Medal at the World Championships in London. Courtney runs for Nike with the Bowerman Track Club under Coach Jerry Schumacher.

In this episode Courtney and I talk about how her and her husband Griffen met, what her training looked like for London verses Rio and what her future goals are. Does she want to break 9 minutes in her event? Yes. You’ll learn that Courtney is also very studious and originally had plans to go to Medical School before her track career really took off. Courtney talks about how special the relationship she has with her teammates at the Bowerman Track Club is as well in this episode.

Natasha ran the 10K in the 2016 Olympics for Canada. She is the Canadian 10k & 8k record holder and runs professionally for Asics Canada. Natasha ran in both high school and college but then took some time off after college, only to find herself back at it years later. At 35, she ran in her first Olympic games in the 10k. She has a a 5k personal best of 15:47, 10K personal best of 31:41, half marathon personal best of 1:11:20 and ran her first marathon in 2:35:11.

In this episode Natasha and I talk about her journey to making the 2016 Olympic team for Canada. We talk about what her training looks like and she gives us the inside scoop on her cross training workouts. Natasha was so fun to chat with and one thing I really love about her is though she works her butt off to accomplish big dreams, she also doesn’t take herself too seriously and still enjoys her wine and chocolate!

I’ll Have Another Podcast Episode 33: Shalane Flanagan & Elyse Kopecky

podcast-episode-33

Shalane Flanagan is an Olympic medalist, four-time Olympian, American record holder, and world-class marathoner. She finished second at the 2010 NYC marathon and ran the fastest time ever by an American woman at the 2014 Boston Marathon, completing the race in 2:22.02. At the 2014 Berlin Marathon, Shalane ran a personal best of 2:21.14, the second-fastest time ever by an American woman.

Nike has sponsored Shalane since she graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2004. She has been running at an elite level for 16 years and typically runs 100-plus miles a week. She attributes her ability to sustain this level of training to her nutrient-dense diet. Focusing on fueling for health and performance is an integral part of her training regimen.

Shalane has been featured on the cover of Runner’s World, Womens Running, Running Times, Competitor Magazine, and Track and Field News. She has appeared on 60 Minutes, ESPN Outside the Lines, and Oprah. Her inspiring story has also been heralded in Womens Health, Shape, USA Today, the Boston Globe, and the New York Times. Shalane speaks passionately about the importance of healthy eating at running events across the country. Shalane lives and trains in Portland, Oregon.

Elyse Kopecky is a chef, food writer, nutrition educator, runner, and proud mother. Her friendship with Shalane began 16 years ago on the cross-country team at the University of North Carolina. After graduation, both moved to Portland, Oregon, to work for Nike—Shalane as a professional runner, and Elyse as a digital marketing producer.

Elyse’s career took her abroad, where she took cooking classes throughout Europe, Africa, and Asia. Armed with amazing recipes from around the world, Elyse began cooking to fuel her athletic endeavors. She discovered that by incorporating more fats into her diet, she was stronger, healthier, and happier than ever before. She quit a successful marketing career of 10 years for the chance to help others eat right and moved to New York City to study at the Natural Gourmet Institute for Health and Culinary Arts.

Once back in Portland, Elyse reunited with Shalane over a home-cooked meal, and their conversation quickly shifted toward the detrimental fad diets pushed on female athletes. Elyse’s infectious enthusiasm for teaching other women the importance of “indulgent nourishment” inspired Shalane. That night, the idea for Run Fast Eat Slow was born between two friends with a shared passion to educate and coach athletes to nourish themselves for the long run. Elyse can be found at IndulgentNourishment.com and on the trails in Bend, Oregon.

(Cited from Run Fast Eat Slow Website)

In this episode, we talk about Elyse and Shalane’s new cook book Run Fast, Eat Slow. We also talk about some important, fun moments in Shalane’s professional career such as the Olympic Trials, Rio and Boston 2014.
