Emily Mackay is a professional runner for Team New Balance Boston and just earned a bronze medal in the 1500 meters at the 2024 World Indoor Championships. We already had World Indoor silver medalist Nikki Hiltz on the show https://open.spotify.com/episode/23lYO4M6cMOA9PHXNWG0IM?si=a5098f33ba4446c0. We published an episode of Office Hours with Mark Coogan last week https://open.spotify.com/episode/5TKysWjrMnlb6cSnnf4hbm?si=4cba0d74768748a0. Now, we get to hear from the Binghampton star turned global medalist. Emily has personal bests of 2:00 for the 800m and 3:59 for 1500m. Glasgow was their first time representing the United States at a global championship and they made the most of it. Emily made a BIG move with 400 meters left in the race to push the pace from the front and although it was aggressive and she tied up toward the end – it was all worth it when she hung on for bronze. Hear all about that race but also how she’s managed to develop so well since turning pro in 2022. She’s got an amazing personality and I loved her passion for her team.

The kid from Midland, Texas went to the University of Kansas to chase some big dreams and now BRYCE HOPPEL is a World Indoor Champion. It was won with experience as much as it was with fitness. It happens in the blink of an eye that the rookie becomes the veteran, but now Hoppel is in the prime years of his career. I hadn’t yet given my congratulations to him so I reached out to hear how everything was being digested since Glasgow.

JESS MCCLAIN (née Tonn) has signed a professional contract with Brooks Running a month after finishing fourth at the 2024 U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials in a personal best of 2:25:46. McClain burst onto the marathoning scene winning the Mesa Marathon in Feb. 2022 and then securing a U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials qualifying mark of 2:29:25 at Grandma’s Marathon in June 2023. She has been coaching herself. Even after the signing, she will remain in Arizona and will still coach herself. McClain is the Olympic team alternate, which means if O’Keeffe, Sisson or Lindwurm were to get injured and unable to race in Paris, she would be called in as the replacement.

This is an episode of Office Hours with KYLE MERBER and MAC FLEET kicking back and chatting with coach MARK COOGAN of Team New Balance Boston. We had a chance to just catch up with him at The TRACK at New Balance on our recent visit to Boston for New Balance Nationals and the NCAA Indoor Championships. At this year’s World Indoor Championships, he was trackside to watch Elle St. Pierre win gold in the 3000m and Emily Mackay take bronze in the 1500m. He takes pride in the fact that he’s been able to help develop their talent coming out of the America East conference. He discusses what he looks for in athletes, how he carefully approaches their training intensity and how his philosophy has changed or not really with all of these modern advances.

20 minutes of catching up with Olympic medalist and world champion Jenny Simpson before she takes on the NYC Half on Sunday. It is her first race since unfortunately dropping out of her marathon debut at the U.S. Olympic Trials in Orlando last month. We chat a bit about her lessons from that race, whether she would’ve done anything differently and how she’s taking that into her next few races. Moments before we did this interview, the BAA announced Jenny has been added to the Boston Marathon field for April 15 – along with Sara Hall, Caroline Rotich, Elkanah Kibet and Sam Chelanga. So we discuss her plans for that race and a wider shot of how she views this chapter of her legendary career.

A month after dropping out of the U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials after about 21 miles, Betsy Saina made the decision to enter the 2024 Tokyo Marathon and it paid off massively. Saina put together a very short two-week build-up and ended up finishing fifth in 2:19:17. It was a PR by more than two minutes and moved her to No. 3 on the U.S. all-time women's marathoning list behind Emily Sisson and Keira D'Amato. In this episode, we talk about how she made the decision to race Tokyo, how she structured the training for it and why she believes her coach saying that she's got the fitness to run 2:17 someday soon. Plus, why she's got her sights set on representing the United States at the 2026 World Championships in Tokyo. HOST: CHRIS CHAVEZ | @chris_j_chavez on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/chris_j_chavez GUEST: BETSY SAINA | @sainabetsy on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/sainabetsy TIME STAMPS: 4:03 - How she’s feeling coming off her 2:19 performance at the Tokyo Marathon. 6:13 - Her training heading into Tokyo + more on her race at the U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials. 9:12 - When things went wrong for her in the U.S. Trials. 11:13 - Why she decided to race another marathon so quickly after the Trials. 16:56 - Her training between the Trials and Tokyo. 22:18 - Breaking down the last half of her race in Tokyo. 27:48 - Chasing after the American marathon record in Tokyo. 29:54 - Celebrating after the race + her post-race reflections. 34:38 - How her training has changed since becoming a mother. 42:26 - Her plans for future racing.

This is Nikki Hiltz's fifth time on the show. Our last interviews came after last summer’s World Championships in Budapest https://open.spotify.com/episode/6r5XQBmeLjNKZYOWXg7n6S?si=c9ca6b2a90334389 and also after they broke the U.S. outdoor mile record at the Monaco Diamond League https://open.spotify.com/episode/6eD3berSaEowm8c62v1yA3?si=bqkKjLxgRbO1IrNwyvQ2eg. The hot streak has continued into 2024. Last month, Hiltz won the U.S. Indoor Championships for the second consecutive season. And just this past weekend, they ran two personal bests at the World Indoor Championships to earn a silver medal in the 1500m final. Ethiopia’s Freweyi Hailu earned gold in 4:01.46. Hiltz came in less than a second behind her for the third-fastest indoor 1500m performance in U.S. history. Team New Balance Boston’s Emily Mackay finished third for bronze. The U.S. had a super strong showing at the World Indoor Championships. We topped the medal table with 20 total medals. Seven of those medals came in middle distance events – including four in the 1500m between Hiltz, Mackay, Cole Hocker and Hobbs Kessler. In this episode, Nikki recaps their whole trip to Glasgow, the learnings from another World Championship experience, the statement made by American middle distance runners and how their outlook shifts to the outdoor season now.

Rory Linkletter is a Canadian marathoner for PUMA. He just ran 2:08:01 at the Seville Marathon to get under the Olympic qualifying standard. He is in a good position to get selected by Athletics Canada for Paris. Canadian record holder Cam Levins has already been selected for the team and assuming no one else runs faster than Rory in the next two months, he’ll be set to go to his first Olympics. Rory was a standout runner at BYU and then turned professional in 2019. He spent some time with HOKA NAZ Elite before choosing to leave the team in 2022 and has been working with Ryan Hall in Flagstaff, Arizona. In this episode, you’ll hear all about why the training has worked so well. He shares a bit about Ryan’s coaching and training philosophy. Plus, I try to start some trash talk between Rory and Conner Mantz or Clayton Young – his former teammates.

Hillary Bor is a two-time U.S. Olympian in the steeplechase and the third-fastest American steeplechaser in history. He is preparing to make his half marathon debut at the United Airlines NYC Half on March 17. This is a highly-anticipated half marathon debut since Bor ran 46:11 last year to break Greg Meyer’s American record of 46:13 for 10 miles at the Cherry Blossom 10-Miler. Even with his track success, he’s taken well to the roads. In this episode, Bor talks about his hopes for a career on the roads, why he thought Ryan Hall’s 59:43 American record could be attainable, when he’s thinking about the marathon and why his training group under coach Scott Simmons has him set up for success. He also has unfinished business on the track as he looks to make his third Olympic team this summer for Paris. Hillary also shares some of his own story coming from Kenya from an accomplished running family, his NCAA career at Iowa State and then joining the U.S. Army before his running career took off.

Allie Wilson just won the U.S. Indoor Championships 800m title in Albuquerque, New Mexico for her first career national crown. With the victory, she also qualified for the World Indoor Championships taking place in Glasgow, Scotland next month. This will be her first time on a U.S. national team for a global championship. For Allie, the victory comes after a series of shortcomings at national championships. She was sixth at the 2021 U.S. Olympic Trials. She was fourth at the 2022 U.S. Championships. Last year was a rollercoaster year where she only reached the semifinals and was also dealing with the fact that her coaches Andrew and Amy Begley would be parting ways with the Atlanta Track Club. She decided to take a risk and leave the team and her sponsorship with Adidas to follow her coaches to Indiana, where she is now living and training. This weekend gave her confidence in her decision-making. In this episode, you’ll hear all about how she’s handled the changes, the trust in her coaches, how she’s working with a mental performance coach to reframe her thinking going into races and much more. We take your listener questions, where many of you were curious why she opted against her signature high bun hairstyle in the final.

My guest for today’s episode is ZACH PANNING – a marathoner for the Hansons Brooks Distance Project. He just finished sixth at the U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials in Orlando but that doesn’t tell the full story. He went for it and found himself at the front of the race by Mile 5 and led for about 17 miles of the whole thing. Eventually, Conner Mantz and Clayton Young pulled away and Panning was left on his own to fend off a challenge from a charging Elkanah Kibet, Leonard Korir and CJ Albertson. Those three guys managed to pass him in the final three miles. Panning made that race. He fell short but he was still super proud of the effort in his interviews afterward. Almost two weeks since the race, we checked in to see how he was feeling and how he’s going to take that as a major learning opportunity for future marathons.

It's been almost three years since HOBBS KESSLER joined the CITIUS MAG Podcast. Back in 2021, he was a high school phenom out of Michigan before turning pro ahead of the 2021 U.S. Olympic Trials. Now, he's the world champion and world record holder in the road mile. We caught up just two days after he ran 3:48.86 to finish second in the Wanamaker Mile at the Millrose Games to become the second-fastest American man in history. In this episode, he opens up about his training and adjustments he's made – including not running any run longer than seven miles, doubling every day and still sharpening his speed. Hobbs also shares how he's changed in his approach to racing and feels that he belongs among the best pros. TIME STAMPS: 4:39 - Recalling his first summer as a pro. 5:15 - His confidence before becoming an established pro. 6:23 - Some of the low points he’s experienced over the past two years. 8:16 - The people that have had the greatest impact on him. 9:07 - His training and mindset leading into the 2024 indoor season. 11:33 - What training in Flagstaff looked like for him in January. 13:57 - His training philosophy + finding what training works best for him. 17:50 - Experimenting with training. 18:31 - Breaking down his training structure. 20:19 - How he’s been able to continue developing speed. 24:13 - Race tactics and strategy. 26:08 - Goals heading into the Millrose Games Wanamaker Mile. 27:50 - Thoughts leading into Indoor USAs. 29:02 - Where his current fitness is at. 31:12 - Thoughts on the BU track. 32:20 - His favorite race. 33:45 - What race he would re-run if he could do it over 35:01 - Advice on managing nerves before racing.

Providence junior KIMBERLEY MAY shocked a lot of people – including herself with a 4:27.85 mile at Boston University just a few weeks ago. At the time, it was the No. 1 mark in the NCAA and No. 8 all-time. Since then, Harvard’s Maia Ramsden, Florida’s Flomena Asekol and Notre Dame’s Olivia Markezich have run faster. We have some good episodes on this feed with Maia https://podcasts.apple.com/be/podcast/ncaa-1500m-champion-maia-ramsdens-global-journey-to/id1204506559?i=1000632301945 and Olivia https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/notre-dames-olivia-markezich-on-her-breakout-2023-an/id1204506559?i=1000638254901&l=ar from last fall. After the mile at BU, I realized there wasn’t a whole lot out there about Kimberley May so I reached out and wanted to learn more. She’s got personal bests of 2:04 for the 800m and 8:54 for 3000m. She’ll be one to watch at the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships next month. Like Maia Ramsden, she’s also a New Zealand 1500m star on the rise.

This Sunday is shaping up to be a huge day for sports fans – I’m talking, of course, about the 116th Millrose Games. What snacks will you bring to your viewing party? (No wrong answers.) Which brands will have the funniest commercials? (My money’s on Peacock.) Will Taylor Swift be there? (No.) These questions are surely top of mind for all of us as we gear up for the most important sporting event of mid-February. There’s no Usher halftime show planned, but the historic New York-based track meet and its marquee event – the Wanamaker Mile – still promise plenty of entertainment. Recent Millrose Games have seen epic records https://flight.beehiiv.net/v2/clicks/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.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.UNx2c6TOiWeiPhGFvq3Wfi7Rh5rOpwQtLNZFhqt7tf8, upset victories https://flight.beehiiv.net/v2/clicks/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.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.J3A6IhLhX6WwQAnyDQdpkxf5RkYnhIEelHsZOZfQsg4, and previews of future World champions https://flight.beehiiv.net/v2/clicks/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.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.leNU2gxQRICgd5iHn9wQt7PlalJHxrwk7X93yw8zqBM – and all those stars are back in action this year.

An average high school runner, Minnesota Distance Elite’s DAKOTAH LINDWURM walked onto the team at Northern State University, but wound up a two-time NCAA Division II. She similarly entered the world of post-collegiate running as an unheralded but steady performer. But she ramped up to the marathon distance early, raced it often, and steadily chipped away at it, even winning the Grandma’s Marathon a couple of times. Still, despite boasting a well-filled-out resume, she seemed like a longshot to make an Olympic team. Too many big names were slotted ahead of her with PRs significantly faster. That all changed on Saturday when Lindwurm outlasted all but two members of one of the best fields ever assembled at an Olympic Trials marathon. Her story is sure to inspire, and her progression is one that I know high school coaches nationwide are sharing with their non-state-champion athletes this week. Dakotah was generous enough to chat with Kyle Merber over the phone following her qualification for this week's edition of The Lap Count.

My guest for today’s episode is Fiona O’Keeffe – the 2024 U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials champion. She ran the fastest marathon debut in American history with a 2:22:10 performance to win and also break the previous Marathon Trials record held by Shalane Flanagan from 2012. She will be joined at the Paris Olympics by American record holder Emily Sisson and Dakotah Lindwurm. O’Keeffe was so impressive in the Orlando heat and pressed from the front to pull away from her competitors about 19 miles into the race. She ran all of the last few miles under 5:30 but threw down a 5:09 at Mile 25. She ended up winning by more than 30 seconds. In this episode, we chat about how she mastered her marathon debut, when she knew the 26.2-mile distance was calling, her excitement over the state of U.S. women’s marathoning and we had to ask about the blood on her bib, which was caused by chafing from a gel that was stashed in her top. A star is born in U.S. marathoning.
