THE CHARLIE VAUSE SPECIAL
Today's podcast explores the story of the greatest upset in high school cross-country history.
On December 14, Charlie Vause shocked the world and won NXN in stunning fashion. He ran through the mud and pouring rain with grit unlike any other and came out on top.
Charlie ran 4:12.3 as a Sophomore in the 1600m and won the 2024 State Gatorade Player of the Year in New Mexico. Charlie ran a PR of 14:30 in the 5k on grass this year.
Charlie not only did not win the NXR regional, but also his state meet. He didn't let either experience deter his confidence going into the national meet. As he states in this conversation, he was all-in. Last XC race. Nothing to lose. And he capitalized on it.
In this conversation, Charlie takes me through how he maintained belief in himself, unheard-of stories from his NXN triumphs, his ambitions for the future in the sport, the underdog mentality, his faith, and so much more.
You won't want to miss this one. Lace-up your shoes, pop in your ear pods, and enjoy your run with Mr. Undisputed Champ, Charlie Vause.

Today's podcast is an exploration and deep dive into how to go from "good" to "great" in the sport of running in the coming months, and many insights on training, racing, and well-being. All with Coach Patrick Henner, one of the greats.
If you're not familiar with Coach Henner, Coach Henner has coached Mike Smith (current coach of NAU), Chris Miltenberg (current coach of UNC, formerly Stanford), Brandon Bonsey (current coach of Georgetown), and more in his tenure. He has also coached studs Isaiah Jewett and Will Sumner over the past few years.
This past year, Coach Henner worked extensively with Hobbs Kessler going into his performances at the US Olympic Trials, where he placed in the top-3 in both the 1500m and 800m to send himself to the Paris Olympics, where he then went on to place 5th in the 1500m.
Prior to successful coaching stints at Georgia & USC, Henner was the director of track and field and cross country at Georgetown from 2007-15, and prior to that he had spent eight seasons as the Hoyas' head men's cross country coach and assistant coach for the men's and women's track and field team. Henner's coaching resumé also includes a nine-year stay at James Madison, where he led both the men's and women's cross country teams to their first CAA titles, trained 28 track and field All-Americans, and was twice named CAA Coach of the Year. He began his coaching career at Blacksburg High in Blacksburg, Va., where both the men's and women's teams won state championships in 1984, 1985, and 1986.
In today's conversation, Coach Henner and I dive-deep into training theory, speed development, the things great athletes do during this next month of the year, his thoughts on racing, lessons and insights from working with Hobbs Kessler, and so much more.
This one is PACKED with wisdom from truly one of the greatest coaches of all-time. You'd be a fool not to listen. It's free wisdom.

Josh holds PRs of 3:34.77 in the 1500m and 3:52.49 in the Mile.
Josh has a remarkable story from going from JUCO to making World Championship teams for the US, as we discuss in this conversation.

THE ZACH LEVET SPECIAL
Today, I have the privilege of having a conversation with a man who pioneered running YouTube for years. He was one of my main inspirations to create content within the running space, and for that I'll be forever grateful.
If you know Zach, you love Zach. His content was second to none for many years. Many people (including myself) religiously watched him every Tuesday evening and were inspired in ways we hadn't been before through his gift of storytelling. He amassed over 100,000 subscribers on this journey.
Zach not only hit that milestone, but dropped out of college (after running D1 for William & Mary), started multiple companies, lived out of a van, lived all across the US, and created throughout it all.
As you'll hear in this conversation, there were many highs, lows, and everything in-between in this journey for him that he shares for the first time publically in today's conversation.
Today's conversation was an absolute gift, and I hope you take the time to listen to it. From hearing about the YouTube years in-depth to the logistics of his current role with Ryan Trahan, to his ambitions for triathlon and the future, you won't want to miss this one.
You can watch the episode both on our YouTube Channel (The Running Effect Podcast) or Spotify or listen on your platform of choice.

You can catch Juan race the FL Midwest Regional on November 30 and then two weeks later on December 14 for a chance at history at the FL Cross Country National Championships.
In today's conversation, Juan goes through his historic season thus far, being the best to ever do it in Nebraska history, his ambitions for Foot Locker 2024, what he wants his legacy in the sport to be, and so much more.

THE YASEEN ABDALLA PODCAST
The man that needs no introduction.
Yaseen holds PRs of 7:42 in the 3k, and 2:11 in the Marathon at the 2024 Paris Olympics, where he placed 33rd; he's a 2xAll-American and was the anchor for the NCAA Championship-winning DMR squad.
Yaseen has been on fire this year, posting massive results at big-time meets, helping to lead the Arkansas Razorbacks to many victories. He's on firing on all cylinders leading into championship season.
Perhaps his most impressive accomplishment: he holds the record for most-listened to episode in the history of The Running Effect Podcast, and for good reason, too. This man is so full of wisdom; you'd think he's a philosophy professor. Anytime Yaseen graces this platform, he shares deep insights on running and life, and today is no different.
In this episode, Yaseen takes me through what separates the good from the great, why you need to be your own biggest fan, lessons from being on three top NCAA teams, his experience at the Olympics, training for it, stories from the past year, and so so much more.
Guys, this one lives up to the hype. Do not miss it. Lace-up your shoes, put in your AirPods, and enjoy this hour of wisdom from the legend himself.

Today on the podcast is one of the best female runners in the NCAA, Ceili McCabe!
Ceili runs for West Virginia, where she has cemented herself as one of the greatest runners in program history.
Ceili is an 8XAll-American, was 3rd at the 2021 NCAA XC Championships, is a 2xWorld Championship qualifier, a 2024 Paris Olympian, the record holder in the steeplechase for Canada, and a Canadian XC Champion.
She's run 8:50 in the 3k, 9:20 in the Steeple, and 4:29 in the Mile.
With these accolades, she's one of the most decorated athletes in the NCAA at the moment. I hadn't heard her story publicized on a larger level, so I wanted to sit down with her and hear about her journey that has led her to this point.
In today's conversation, Ceili takes me through her progression in college, how she handles not being showcased as much as other athletes, her thoughts on her ambitions for the upcoming NCAA XC National meet, what her legacy at West Virginia means to her, and so much more.

Back on the podcast today is Ky Robinson!
Ky was undoubtedly one of the greatest NCAA runners of our generation. Competeing for the storied Stanford University, Ky was a 2xNCAA Champion (5k/10k), leading to him being named the Men's Outdoor Track National Athlete of the Year in 2023
Ky is Stanford school-record holder in the mile, steeplechase, 5,000, and indoor 3,000.
Ky was also a 13-time All-American, an accomplishment that I have only seen once or twice in the 450 episodes of this podcast.
Ky has run 3:52 (Mile), 7:36 (3k), 13:06 (5k), and 27:44 (10k).
Ky signed with On and the OAC out of college and will be going into his first full rookie year with them in 2025.
In today's conversation, Ky takes me through his final year at Stanford, his reflections on the legacy he left there, his decision to turn pro with On, his ambitions for the future, and much more!
I always thoroughly enjoy my conversations with Ky and this one is packed full of stories, wisdom, and actionable takeaways. Don't miss it!
