    HS Boys National Panel: Owen Powell, TJ Hansen, Charlie Vause, Jack Graffeo, Caden Leonard

    Today on the show has been a long-awaited episode, something that I personally have wanted to do for a long time. Today we have a panel with six of the top high school athletes in the entire country: Owen Powell, Tayvon Kitchen, TJ Hansen, Charlie Vause, Jack Graffeo, and Caden Leonard. They are all seniors, except for Caden, who is a junior. Very diverse group of guys today, we have the NXN Champ, NXN runner-up, two high school national record holders, and just a show full of studs. I don’t think there needs to be much of an introduction to these guys and if you have been following on Instagram, you know all about this project, so I won’t waste anymore of your time, but… Please, wherever you are, in your car, at work, on a run, give this podcast a follow and a five-star review on whatever platform you are listening on. That goes a long way in supporting the growth of The Sunday Shakeout so that I can keeping bringing to you some of the greatest stories in the sport of running and in that process, share love and passion for track and field and distance running. Also, one final note before we get into the show, I am doing this panel with my legendary co-host, the man himself, Jean Claude, from Startline Running on Instagram. I really like his addition to the show, he asks a lot of great questions, adds some spice and interesting takes to the interview, so go follow him on Instagram, his handle is @startlinerunning. Jean, if you are listening, and I know you are, thank you bro. This one was fun. So, without further delay, please enjoy the high school boys nationals panel

    Ep. 122 - From 19:25 to 15:11 5K XC: D1 Commit Nick Gargano On What It Takes To Win

    Today on the podcast is Nick Gargano! The Tale of Two Nicks, I guess you could say. Nick is a senior out of Sehome High School in Bellingham, Washington. I had a lot of fun chatting with Nick today. He’s a super humble guy, also very thoughtful and he has one of the most remarkable progressions that I have seen in high school. A while back I had my teammate Sam Kurtz on the show. He ran 26 minutes his freshman year and now runs 18 as a senior. Nick ran 19:25 as a freshman and now is a 15:11 guy, so huge progression for him. Today, I ask all about his progression, how injuries plagued him his freshman year and how he was able to work through them physically and mentally to be a runner up at state and running 15:11. I won’t reveal too much, but the team culture aspect is something that is very much highlighted a lot in our conversation today. Nick is also committed to run at the Gonzaga next fall under the legendary Pat Tyson. He holds PRs of: Cross Country 5K: 15:11 3200 Meters: 9:22 1600 Meters: 4:23 Please, wherever you are, in your car, at work, on a run, give this podcast a follow and a five-star review on whatever platform you are listening on.

    The Comeback EP 1 | Thoughts On Hip Strength, First Time At PT, The Empty Void

    This is the second ever video podcast I have done and the first in a series that I am doing to document my recovery journey after dislocating my knee. This is an extremely unscripted episode. I am just speaking what is on my mind. I recently came across a question this past week: "When was the last the last time you cried in front of someone?" Today, I unpack my thought that question and the relevance to my situation, as well as my first time every going to PT, the harsh truth of hip strength, and the void that needs to be filled in my life due to not being able to run. I hope you enjoy this episode of The Sunday Shakeout/ Please consider leaving a follow and a five-star review!

    Washington State 4A Panel With Isaac Benjamin & Connor Rickey

    Today on the podcast is a banger episode. I had a mini panel with two of the top competitors in the 4A classification of the State of Washington: Connor Rickey and Isaac Benjamin. Shoutout to Connor committing to this show despite being in France. Connor is a senior out of Issaquah High School. He holds PR's of 1:54.29 (800m), 4:14.15 (1600m), 9:11.65 (3200m), and 14:46.9 (5K XC). Isaac is a junior out of South Kitsap High School.

This is the second ever panel episode of The Sunday Shakeout and I partnered with Jean Claude, also known as Startline Running on Instagram. He is the other voice in today’s conversation and asks a lot of great questions, so it was a fun one today. We talk all about their thoughts on what went down in the Super Bowl, including Jean Claude losing a bet and having to run 24 miles. We also talk about what it took for Isaac to go from 76th at State his Sophomore year running 17:06, to being second and dropping 15 flats on a weekly basis, and what event they think would be the perfect match in the middle for them. I also asked them what they thought the over/under would be in 4A for each event this season, their thoughts on mentality and rivalries, and so much more.

    Ep. 119 - Catching Up With Michael Maiorano: Sharing Insights On Success, Purpose, Winning A National Title, Running For A NCJAA School

    Today on the show marks the return of Michael Maiorano. Michael holds PRs of 4:06 (Mile), 8:14 (3000m), 14:01 (5000m), 29:51 (10,000m) Last time I had him on the show was in early September, right before he started his cross country season at Salt Lake Community College, an NCJAA School. Now, y’all might be thinking: "JUCO? Who would want to run for a JUCO school?” I will tell you straight up before getting into the conversation, not enough people take Salt Lake and JUCO in general seriously. Many of the guys who run there are sub 4 guys, 60 minutes in the half marathon. JUCO is no joke, and especially a team like Salt Lake, that won a national title. In fact, in today’s conversation, Michael talks about how just this past weekend, the team went up to UW and beat 5 or 6 D1 squads. So, JUCO demands respect. Michael ran at Gonzaga for a bit so he’s the real deal. Aside from that, Michael and I had an awesome conversation today. We talk all about the vibrant running culture in Utah, the personal journey for Michael transitioning to JUCO, and some of the experiences and valuable lessons he has learned, what it means for him to find purpose in the sport, and so many other things. Michael is such a wise dude. He has so many amazing things to say and is very intentional with his life and how he carries himself. It would be a disservice to yourself if you clicked away from our chat because there is something for everyone in our conversation. Please, wherever you are, in your car, at work, on a run, give this podcast a follow and a five-star review on whatever platform you are listening on. That goes a long way in supporting the growth of The Sunday Shakeout so that I can keeping bringing to you some of the greatest stories in the sport of running and in that process, share love and passion for track and field and distance running.
