A Conversation With The Fastest 13Yr In The WORLD: The Story Of Erik Semling - Future Olympian
Today on the podcast is the youngest guest in the history of The Running Effect Podcast.
His name is Erik Semling. He's in 8th grade and 13 years old from the state of Minnesota. As an 8th grader this past Fall, he placed 6th at his HIGH SCHOOL (yes, you read that right) State Meet.
Erik has run 15:09 in the 5k, which is an unofficial age group world record, and 31:17 in the 10k, which is an official age group world record. Again, this kid is only 13. In 2022 he became the AAU Indoor 3000m National Champion and has only improved since then.
In today's conversation, Erik takes me through his start in the sport, setting world records, an in-depth look at his training, his ambitions in sport, handling hate, and so much more!
I was quite frankly shocked with how articulate Erik was as an 8th grader. This episode was awesome, and I have no doubt will inspire you to chase after your goals all the more!

Inside Running For The University Of Notre Dame With Carter Solomon
Today on the podcast is Carter Solomon.
If you're not familiar with Carter, he is an accomplished long-distance runner who has achieved significant success in both cross country and track. He is the 2023 ACC Outdoor Champion in the 10,000 meters and the 2022 ACC Cross Country Champion in the 8K. He has qualified for NCAA championships multiple times in both cross-country and track events. In the 2023 cross country season, he competed in six races, with his best performance being a 22nd-place finish at the NCAA DI Great Lakes Region Championships. During his junior year, he placed seventh in the 5000 meters at the NCAA Championships and set personal records in several events, including a 13:26.11 in the 5000 meters and a 3:57.13 in the mile. As a sophomore, he won the 3000 meters at the Blue & Gold Invite, and as a freshman, he posted notable performances including a PR in the 6K. In high school, Carter was a two-time All-American, four-time all-state selection, and led his team to a state championship, earning accolades such as Mr. Cross Country in Michigan and Michigan Gatorade Runner of the Year.
In today's conversation, Carter takes me through his journey and progression in sport, what it's going to take to ascend to the next level within the NCAA, his years and experience at The University of Notre Dame, his thoughts on the incoming recruiting class, and much more!
I always love these conversations with the top NCAA guys and have no doubt you'll find value from this one.

Jackson Heidesch Opens Up On The Dark Side Of NCAA Running, Reflecting On Breaking 4 Minutes In The Mile, & Growing Up With Caitlin Clark
THE KING OF IOWA RETURNS TO THE PODCAST
After his Freshman year at Duke, Jackson Heidesch sits down with me to recap his past year of ups and downs.
In high school, Jackson was the most accomplished track athlete to ever come out of the University of Iowa. If you've been living under a rock the past year, let me refresh you. Jackson ran 3:59.08 in the mile in high school to become the 10th fastest boy in history at the distance. He's also run 8:42 in the 2-mile, won a National Championship, and is undefeated against Himeon Birnbaum on the grass.
Today's conversation is two friends catching up and chopping it up for an hour on a plethora of subjects. We reflect on Jackson's historic year last year, his thoughts on the class of 2024, his transition to college, how he's handled many setbacks, his ambitions for the coming months, and so so much more.
That's about it. We probably shouldn't have released this one, but we did... Tap in.
