In this kickoff episode, Sam Welch discusses his life as a runner from high school to college and beyond.  Sam has an elite mile time of 4:34 and he opens up about his successes and challenges as a competitive runner.  He also has a full time job working for Hoka shoes.  Sam talks about his mindset when winning, injured, and even when he falls behind in a race.  He also connects his running mindset to everyday living that we can all apply.

This conversation is relatable to all of us non-professional athletes that want to achieve at the next level.  Sam doesn't have a team of trainers and doctors, nor does he have sponsorships to fund his sport.  Like most of us, Sam balances his running with all of his other obligations in life.   Listen in on this fascinating conversation!
