The Legacy Of Olympian Shannon Rowbury: Speed, Integrity, And The Future Of Track
Description
Today, I have the privilege of speaking with one of the greats, Shannon Rowbury.
Shannon is one of the most decorated American middle-distance runners, known for her incredible range and longevity in the sport. A three-time Olympian (2008, 2012, 2016), Rowbury is a World Championship bronze medalist in the 1500m (2009) and has broken American records in both the 1500m and 5000m. Her personal bests showcase her versatility and speed: 2:00 .03 in the 800m, 3:56 .29 in the 1500m (former American record), 4:20 .34 in the mile, 8:29 .93 in the 3000m, 14:38 .92 in the 5000m (former American record), and 31:03 .29 in the 10,000m. Throughout her career, Shannon has been celebrated for her consistency, tactical prowess, and role as a pioneer for women in track and field. Her legacy continues to inspire the next generation of runners.
Shannon is one step away from being reallocated a 2012 Olympic 1500m bronze medal. Shannon has been moved up from fourth place to third place in World Athletics' results.
Shannon is also a mother of two boys, in the midst of writing a book, a Sports Broadcaster & In-Stadium Announcer, and so much more.
In today's conversation, Shannon takes me through the biggest lessons and learnings from her wildly successful career, being upgraded to Bronze from the 2012 Olympics, and the emotions that come with that, what separates the good from the great, and much more.
This conversation was a true privilege and pleasure to have. So many good insights in this conversation, don't miss out on the chance to learn from one of the best.
