The Sunday Shakeout

Today on the show is none other than Kade Brownell, the legend of Mt. Spokane.Yes, you heard that right, Kade is one of the top runners in Washington's 3A classification and a total beast on the track. He's clocked some insane times: 1:52 for 800m, 4:04 for the mile, and 8:51 for 3200m. The reason I had him on the show today? Kade is not only gearing up for a shot at breaking 4 minutes in the mile at the Brooks PR Invitational this June, but he also just pulled off a gutsy double win in the 1600m and 3200m at his district championships – all while sick. Oh, and he closed the last lap of the 3200m in 54 seconds. Absolutely wild.Mt. Spokane is no joke either. The boys' and girls' teams both won district titles, making them serious contenders for the state championship. This school is dominating Washington's running scene.In this episode, Kade and I dive into all of it. We talk about the insane depth of Washington's track talent, what it's like chasing that elusive sub-4 barrier, how he overcame tearing both of his menisci, and what he hopes to accomplish in the final stretch of his high school career.Before we dive in, I need to ask you for a quick favor.

He is a 4:06 guy for mile, 8:46 for 2 mile, and the reason I had him on the show today was that he just won 4 state titles in 4 hours in his classification, winning the 4x800m, 800m, 1600m, and 3200m. This dude is crazy, so many amazing insights from Aiden today. We talk all about his historic day at the state meet, his legacy, as well as his thoughts on going to Iowa State next year, and how being a middle school triathlete has formed him into the runner he is today.Please, before we get into this episode, if you haven't already, then please, wherever you are, in your car, at work, on a run, give this podcast a follow and a five-star review on whatever platform you are listening on.

However, in the spring, Willy sustained a terrible achilles injury that even left him unable to walk for a bit, yet he came back, ran at the Olympic Trials, won the Baltimore Marathon in October, and just overall had an incredible comeback story.

Today, we talk all about their experiences at NXR and how Chloe made up a 10 second deficit in the final k from Sophia Rodriguez in order to take the win in the last 200.

Yesterday was an attempt at a 3-peat. Seattle Prep XC Boys Team was attempting to be one of the few teams in Washington XC 3A state history to win back-to-back-to-back state titles. The favorites going into today were the boys from Mercer Island High School. In our minds, however, we were the favorite. Today, I review a very disappointing and emotional loss at the State meet that we faced. This includes my whole experience from Monday-Saturday of this past week, the trip itself, and some of the lessons that we are using moving forward. The phrase we said to each other was "you are bigger than the moment". But sometimes, it doesn't go the way you planned. Legs feel heavy, the gaps start to form, and all the expectations we carried on our shoulders start to weigh us down. The finish line came, but the result—well, it wasn't what we had fought for. Not this time. That's when the phrase truly matters. Because it's not just something you say when things are going your way. It's a belief, a mindset, a call to rise above, especially when you fall short. It's about understanding that when everything comes down to one race, one chance, one defining instant, you are not defined by that moment. Yes, we stumbled, and yes, we felt the sting of disappointment. But those moments don't take away the months of grinding workouts in the rain, the countless miles logged in the early morning darkness, or the brotherhood forged through shared struggle. All the work, all the pain, all the sacrifice—that's what defines you. The moment doesn't make you; you make the moment And this moment, while a failure, is only a short chapter in our book on SPXC. We still have a lot more book to write.

Today on the podcast is Manny Putz! Manny is a senior in Wisconsin who just yesterday won his third consecutive state title, becoming only the third person in his division to three-peat in the history of Wisconsin State Cross Country History. According to DyeStat, Manny is also ranked as the third best individual male in the U.S, and going into NXR and NXN over these next few weeks, he is the #1 returner, having finished 5th at the meet last year. Manny is also the Wisconsin 1600 and 3200 State Champion. He holds PRs of 4:12 for 1600, 8:53 for 3200, and is committed to run at the University of Wisconsin in Madison, in 2025. Today, Manny and I talk all about the experience and emotions of winning back-to-back-to-back state titles, his thoughts on how to effectively run hills in cross country, being one of the favorites going into NXN this year, why he thinks high school rankings are a double-edged sword, and much more.

This week on The Sunday Shakeout is a training review! I am a firm believer that the process of reflection is something that is crucial to getting better in the sport of running. This is not only from the standpoint of running, but also staying injury-free, making more intelligent training decisions, and having better "Running IQ" as my cross-country coach would call it. I talk all about my Sophomore XC season starting in June with summer training, some of the injuries and sicknesses I faced and how I responded, and how I can improve some of the systems in my training in order to mitigate setbacks. I also go over some of the varsity races I competed in and how I set almost a 100-second PR in the 5K. The idea of mental skills and mental acuity is something that I also talk about today. With sickness, I find that I lose not only physical fitness and ability, but my mental skills and focus declines quite a bit. I have found that racing after sickness has been quite poor and my ability to push through pain and process moves in the middle of races is poor. It takes much more time to build that back up after being injured. So many stories. So many tips. So many reasons to tune-in! I hope you all enjoy this episode of The Sunday Shakeout.

Having dealt with calf problems, asthma, running alone, and tons of adversity, hardship, and disappointment, Kurtz has made an incredible story and shares it on today's podcast. We talk all about Kurtz's high school journey and transformation, his thoughts on the importance of team culture, and the inherent greatness that community can bring on an individual and team-level, as well as some of the most defining moments in his career, a preview of his final cross country race in high school, and more!

This week on the podcast is Adrian Macdonald! Adrian Macdonald is a two-time Leadville 100 Winner. He finished second at this year's Leadville 100 with a time of 15:56:34, behind David Roche, who set a new course record of 15:26:34. Adrian inititally had ambitions of becoming a professional football player, but instead turned to running in high school. While only running a 4:40 mile in high school, Adrian continued to pursue running in his adult life. He trained for many road races, including the Boston Marathon. However, during COVID, he began to train for ultramarathons. In this first attempt at the Leadville 100 as an unsponsored athlete, he won. Adrian later signed with On and is now a professional athlete. Adrian and I talk all about mental toughness and the mental skills required to be successful in an ultramarathon, his experience in the Leadville 100, why he thinks running is such a special sport, some of the biggest lessons that he has learned, and much more! I hope you all enjoy this episode of The Sunday Shakeout!

Special shoutout to my parents, to SPXC boys, Rene, and everyone who has supported me to this point.

This week on the podcast is the return of Rene Aldrich! Rene was the fourth guest I ever had on the show and this week she returns to the podcast. Just eight days ago, Rene raced the Berlin Marathon along the streets of Germany in a time of 4:38:34.

So today's conversation is more than just about the times. In her forties, Rene is still running marathons and half marathons, having completed over 240 total.

This week on the podcast is Ben Nagel! Last December, Ben graduated from Virginia Tech as a sub 4 miler and 1:47 800 guy. He trains under Ben Thomas with guys like Cooper Teare and Cole Hocker. But what is most impressive about Ben, is that in high school, his fastest mile that he ran was 4:40, which, on most competitive times, would be a solid JV time in high school. But having that huge transformation from running 4:40 to sub-4 was incredible to hear. Some of the stories and lessons that he shares today were incredibly inspiring for me personally, as I am in the mid 17s for 5K cross country my Sophomore year, and hearing Ben and his journey shows that we can do so much more than we think we can achieve and it's up to us as to whether or not we want to chase it. So, I had a blast chatting with Ben today. He had a lot of amazing things to say and I know that you will enjoy it as well. We talk all about what it is like to be coached under Ben Thomas, transitioning to running post-collegiately, the journey to the sub-4 barrier, his experiences with setting and achieving goals, his best advice for runners who want to be great, and much more.

Michael also touches on his goals and the broader role of running in life. Whether you are in middle school, high school, college, or a recreational runner, this episode is for you.

Simply put, Julian was an absolute stud in high school. But he opens up about how that all came to a pause when he learned he had an extremely rare heart condition, being only one of two people in the Los Angeles County to be diagnosed with it. There are a lot of parallels in the lessons that are important in content creation as well as in the sport of running. Lessons like consistency, hard work, perseverance, and just flat out never giving up are traits that not only help content creators, but will also bring your running to the next level.

This week on the show is Andre Mathew. Now, right now, this is normally where I list off my guest's PR's or accolades, but the fact of the matter is, Andre is a JV runner. He runs somewhere between 19 and 20 minutes for 5K. However, times and accolades are not the focus of this episode. Andre has been running for about a year now. However, his story is extremely interesting, sustaining a stress reaction in his tibia in March and ultimately suffering until June. However, he is on his comeback. So, why Andre? Why not get some super fast runner on the podcast? Well, the fact of the matter is: JV runners have awesome stories. There is still plenty to learn from them. Andre is a perfect example of that. Despite not being on the top seven, Andre works just as hard as anybody on the team and has the desire to be great. He puts the work in. And that, that is awesome. And I know that for most high school runners out there listening, being a JV runner is extremely relateable. The ups and downs and the story of Andre that you will hear in my conversation with him, really sheds some light on that area of high school running. You really, really won't want to miss this one.
