Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Sage Hurta-Klecker: Running 1:55 in the 800m & Training To Become World Class
Q: How did the Tokyo breakthrough influence your mental approach to racing and training going forward?
The breakthrough reduced self-imposed limits, allowing her to immerse in the moment against the best, while also reinforcing that top-level performance can come from a blend of the right race conditions, training stimulus, and mental readiness.
Sage Hurta-Klecker: Running 1:55 in the 800m & Training To Become World Class
Q: What goes into navigating rounds at major championships and how do you approach round one vs. finals?
Round one is the most stressful; you want to conserve energy but also avoid underperforming, and you adjust race strategy on the fly, prioritizing position and recovery for the next rounds while staying emotionally level-headed.
Sage Hurta-Klecker: Running 1:55 in the 800m & Training To Become World Class
Q: How are you structuring your summer and what does your training look like this year compared to prior years?
The plan is relatively flexible with room to try new approaches, keeping the US Championships as important but not the sole focus, while Diamond Leagues and World Championships qualifiers drive the schedule; the aim is to peak while maintaining consistency and health through a balanced mix of long runs, VO2-focused sessions, and accelerated track work.
Austin Dalquist on Elite Performance, Overcoming RED-S, and What HS Runners Are Missing
Q: What is Red S and how did it affect you?
Red S stands for Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport. Austin describes how he struggled with restrictive eating in college, which led to energy deficiencies that not only impaired performance but also impacted his health, eventually contributing to injuries and a pivotal rebalancing of his training and fueling.
Ep.1 Two Marathons In 8 Weeks | Reed Fischer Discusses Tokyo World Champs Experience & Prep for NYC Marathon
Q: What was the race plan going into the World Champs race?
The plan was to race off instinct, stay patient, and target a mid-pack position early on while avoiding wasteful energy; the goal was to sit just below a perceived red line and adjust as the heat and field dynamics dictated.
