Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Sydney Petersen - A Strong Sense of Belonging
Q: What role did mentorship play in your trail running journey?
Stevie Kramer was a constant sounding board, guiding me through conversations about sponsorships and races from a young age, which helped me navigate the transition into trail running and professional opportunities.
Sydney Petersen - A Strong Sense of Belonging
Q: How did your college experience shape your approach to running after college?
It taught me consistency and the importance of training base. I learned not to let comparisons derail my own process and to value steady progress over quick breakthroughs.
Teamwork Makes the Dream Work
Q: What changed in training after joining Rick, and how did that affect race performance?
Athletes report moving from high-mileage, generic routines to more targeted, varied stimulus with increased speed work and race-specific plans. The new approach reduced injuries, improved confidence, and allowed them to race closer to their strengths, often with faster personal bests and better long-term consistency.
Teamwork Makes the Dream Work
Q: How did the coaching relationship with Rick begin for each athlete, and how did the dynamic evolve over time?
Each athlete describes starting with Rick in different ways—some via college connections, others through mutual friends or relocation—but all emphasize daily, personal communication, trust, and the absence of rigid spreadsheets. Over time, their relationships deepened as Rick tailored plans to individual needs, helped manage injuries, and fostered a supportive community among athletes.
Sarah Morrison - 100k Road National Champion
Q: What advice would you give your 20-year-old self regarding running?
Perfection is a thief of joy; be flexible with plans and focus on enjoyment and learning from bumps rather than chasing an ideal outcome.
