Description

Today, sharing one of the best stories in the sport are Patrick Anderson and Will Coogan. 




Last spring, five North Carolina men's track and field athletes were traveling to practice in a car after the Raleigh Relays. It crashed, flipped, and then landed in a ditch. Two of those athletes, Patrick Anderson and Will Coogan were in the car and both were seriously hurt, Patrick nearly dying from his injuries. 




Their story of getting back to running and excel at the sport once again after a nearly fatal event is one of the most inspiring stories the sport has ever seen.




Patrick and Will are both highly accomplished runners. 




Patrick has run 3:40 .09 (1500m), 7:54 .64 (3k), 13:37 .79 (5k), and 23:04 .4 (8k XC). 




Will has run 3:44 .13 (1500m), 7:54 .66 (3k), 13:44 .64 (5k), and 23:41 .2 (8k XC). 




In today's conversation, Patrick and Will recap this story in gripping detail and share the ins and outs on how this life event shaped their lives, their return to the sport, the obstacles they've faced in that pursuit, their ambitions for the future, and so much more!




This conversation is truly impactful and will reshape your perspective on how you view your running, and potentially even life.
