  • Cortland

    Just found this podcast and listened to the series on the Cortland dynasty from a couple years ago. It brought back great memories of my brief time there on the men’s team. It did a great job of explaining Jacks understated brilliance. Winning a “Good Dog” award from Jack is probably my most prized award I ever received in my running career. Thank you.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Kai Smith - The 100m/200m Champ
Q: What was going through your mind when you first realized you might win both events?
Kai spoke about the confidence built from earlier heats and the belief that he could stay calm, execute his plan, and maximize his speed in the finals, which allowed him to stay composed and focused under pressure.
Sydney Radigan's historic season
Q: What was your mental state between the 100 and the 200 after winning the 100?
She shifted focus to the next goal, acknowledged fatigue, and prepared mentally for the tougher challenge of the 200.
Sydney Radigan's historic season
Q: You've also never been advanced through the prelims. Like how did you kind of handle that pressure?
Sydney explains she stayed focused, treated prelims as practice to set up a strong finals performance, and used mental discipline to box away nerves.
Lars Dewall - 2:12 at Boston
Q: What did you learn about fueling and stomach management that you'll carry into future marathons?
It's a real learning curve; I'm working on dialing in a consistent carb intake around 100-120 grams per hour and improving stomach tolerance through more training the gut, especially under the race-day stress and high-mileage weeks.
Lars Dewall - 2:12 at Boston
Q: You've just run Boston; how do you view your performance in the context of the pro field and your own expectations?
I went in aiming to compete and see where I stack up against Americans and the field overall; a 2:12 was within a realistic range on a perfect day, and I'm pleased with breaking into the higher end of that range while recognizing there's room to improve.
