Ep. 206 - Inside the Mind of 2X 800m National Champion Reagan Moore
Q: Why did she decide to pursue cross country in addition to track, and how has that benefited her 800m performance?
Cross country provided a broader aerobic base, mental toughness, and team dynamics that translated into stronger late-race finishing and better overall racing instincts for the 800m.
Ep. 206 - Inside the Mind of 2X 800m National Champion Reagan Moore
Q: How did her experience with Nike Indoor Nationals and New Balance differ, and what did she learn about racing that season?
She noted the indoor environment rewarded aggressive pacing and fast starts, while outdoor racing required balancing different event types and building endurance to sustain performance through the final stages.
Ep. 206 - Inside the Mind of 2X 800m National Champion Reagan Moore
Q: What did it feel like to win the national title at New Balance Outdoors and how did it compare to expectations going into the race?

Ep. 195 - From 5-Month Injury to National Title & State Record: The Story of Mia Sirois
Q: What was the injury journey like, from the ankle fracture to the heel fracture, and how did you stay motivated during that darkest period?
She recounts the initial ankle break on a mountain, the boot and non-weight bearing period, the heel fracture discovered later, and emphasizes the importance of delusionally hoping she'd return, alongside family support and learning to advocate for herself.
Ep. 199 - Breaking a 26-Year-Old School Record | The Next Northwest Great: Seattle Prep's Elise Corr
Q: What's the coolest story your mom has told you about her career, maybe a pick-me-up moment?
