Episode 133: Shelby Houlihan Bonus

Lindsey Hein — Sat, 28 Jul 2018 11:17:08 +0000

Shelby Houlihan just broke the American Record by four seconds in the 5K in a time of 14:34 in Heudsen; which gave her a personal record by 26 seconds. In this episode she tells us the progression of how the goal to break the American Record went down. Her coach, Jerry Schumacher has known her potential and the process has been nothing short of a well thought out methodical progression. She was paced by teammate Shalane Flanagan and 1500 Meter competitor for New Balance, Corey Mcgee. She’s been running so fast this year and has shownthat she’s the real deal with her competitive nature and insane kick.

Shelby runs for Nike with the Bowerman Track Club and I love interviewing the crew over there; Shelby is no stranger to this podcast- check out her other episodes (Episode 50 and 108). Shelby is just as fierce and excited about her dreams as she was in the first two episodes we recorded. She’s a 2016 Olympian and has dreams of making the American 5K scene more competitive on a World Level.

And guys- no she’s not changing her IG or twitter handles and spills that she even plans to possibly race an 800 this fall! Look out for her to put down some more fast times in the coming months when she’ll compete in the Diamond League final in Brussels and the Continental Cup in the Czech Republic. My bet is she grabs herself another American Record; in the 1500 this time.

Episode 108: Shelby Houlihan

Lindsey Hein — Fri, 16 Mar 2018 11:35:43 +0000

Shelby Houlihan is a 2016 Olympian in the 5,000 meters and runs for Nike with the Bowerman Track Club. Shelby was on the podcast back in episode 50 with her teammates Courtney Frerichs and Colleen Quigley where we learned just how fierce and determined she is. In this episode, Shelby shares with us her dreams of winning an Olympic Gold Medal and her passion of living in the moment and seeking adventure. She recently competed in the USA and World indoor championships where she walked away with a win at USAs in both the 1,500 and the 3,000, placing 4th and 5th and Worlds.

She was a successful high school and collegiate runner; she as a 12 time Division 1 All American and was the 2014 NCAA Champion in the 1500. Shelby is confident and comes off as fearless, thoroughly enjoying the pain that a tough workout brings; embracing the life she gets to live doing what she loves so much as her professional career; running. I just love talking to all the girls on the Bowerman team and it’s so exciting to see them chase after their big goals.

Enjoy!
