"I'm a competitor. I like to say I'm a dog. You always think that you have what it takes. And I know that I have what it takes. It was great though; it grounds you and roots you and makes you hungry. Everything happens for a reason. Every race that I'm in, I'm going to try to win. I don't like to lose. But when I do lose, I lose with grace. So for me, it was great for my career – what I just went through – for the sheer fact that it made me hungry, humble and focused for this year.” Brandon Miller is the 2022 NCAA indoor 800m champion and just wrapped up his first year as a pro runner. He just signed with the Brooks Beasts and will join the team in Seattle in 2024. After foregoing the remainder of his NCAA eligibility at Texas A&M, he spent the past 10 months working with coach Bobby Kersee in Los Angeles. He has a personal best of 1:44.97 for 800m and represented Team USA at the 2022 World Championships in Eugene. He's been competing in the sport since he was seven years old at the AAU level. We touch on how he's managed the progression, lessons from his brief stint with Kersee and what his biggest hopes with coach Danny Mackey and the Beasts – where he'll be training alongside the likes of Isaiah Harris, Devin Dixon and Josh Kerr.

“I still haven't processed it. I haven't celebrated at all, I had to go back to work and take care of my daughter. Actually, I woke her up from her nap to watch Josh win because I was like, ‘He might do it, so let's wake her up just so she will remember'... Even yesterday [at the 5th Avenue Mile] they had the camera on Josh and they replayed his last 200m and I still got goosebumps. It's been three weeks, so I don't know if I'll ever process it. I hear people say this and I know what they mean; it's like you just get humbled by it. You're like, ‘Man, that was really hard to do.'” Danny Mackey has been the coach of the Brooks Beasts since the team started in 2013 and can now say that he's the coach to a world champion after Josh Kerr's stunning 1500m victory in Budapest. The Beasts have put together a strong year with Nia Akins winning the U.S. indoor and outdoor 800m titles before finishing sixth in the World Championship final. Marta Freitas and Isiah Harris also competed at the World Championships. Henry Wynne is running strong with a fifth-place finish at USAs and then a 3:53.70 mile PR at Falmouth this summer. It's been a culmination of more than a decade of hard work, learning and adapting for coach Mackey and his meticulously scientific training perspective and approach. He's vocal about doing things the right way and not operating in any gray zone. You'll learn much more in this episode that goes beyond just the making of a world champion. A quick note before we start the interview, this has also been the most tragic and difficult year of Mackey's life. As reported by LetsRun.com, back in March, his fiancee died by suicide and he is now raising his five-month-old daughter on his own. He took a few days away from the team and coached remotely from the U.S. while the team was in Budapest. The pain and loss is still felt by Mackey and he's been resilient for his fellow coaching staff and athletes all along the way.

There is no coach on the professional circuit right now with more unwarranted #banter against them. This is the exact reason why the stoic young coach is one of the best coaches in the world. He blocks out the noise & focuses on the one true aspect of the sport: His athletes well being and their success. Coach Mackey in recent years has proved himself as one of the rising professional coaches in the world however Coach Mackey will never be the one to tell you, nor will the trolls behind the message boards. The ones that will tell you however are the athletes that have first hand experience being coached by Mackey in recent years. In the year of 2018 both of your hosts David Ribich & Josh Kerr signed their professional contracts to be coached by Mackey and since then, they have improved in every event they have run (similarly has everyone on the team). Focusing on this episode, your hosts break the barrier of athlete & coach and have a real chat with "The Gaffer" as Josh Kerr describes in the first 5 minutes. Their is tons of insight, banter and knowledge that spans every minute of this episode. With the first Top 10 requested guest securing their spot in the season we move on to #9 and hope the trend continues. Listen to this episode NOW to find out why your hosts trust Coach Mackey with their careers. Some #banter to look forward too: Who is more coachable - Dave or Josh Who is the least coachable guy you've ever had What characteristics makes Josh way faster than Dave Do you get enough credit? If you had a daughter who would you rather her date - Josh or Dave Why is Henry Wynne's form so bad? Who would win in a race, Josh's ego or Dave's therapist Who is/was more talented Kerr/Symmonds Most unique coaching tactic.

Too often we have a concept of how to train for a sport or event and use that as the starting point for the plan. We fit the athlete to the event. That works in some cases, but other times you need to fit the event to the athlete. In no event is that more important than the 800 meters, where athletes come from a wide variety of training and physiological backgrounds. On this week's episode coach Trevor Painter and former elite 800 meter runner Jenny Meadows join us to share some examples of fitting the event to an athlete, 800 meters training, and more. For more information on this topic, read the complete show notes at: https://www.hmmrmedia.com/2021/10/gaincast-episode-228-fitting-the-event-with-trevor-painter-and-jenny-meadows/ The following links were referenced in the podcast or provide some additional reading material on the topic: Our monthly GAIN Master Class Series features speakers from all aspects of performance.

“What I did, anyone else can do and more people should be doing that. The running market is starting to get a lot bigger. There are more people making YouTube channels because they’re thinking, ‘I can do that.’ You know I had an iPhone until I hit 30,000 subscribers. I’m still using iMovie until this day. It doesn’t have to be unbelievable quality videos. People are a little scared to make that jump. Having no fear helps me stay motivated to put out content and also show that I’m somewhat of an elite runner and I’m trying my best to continue.” My guest for today’s episode is Spencer Brown but many of you might know him as The Athlete Special from his popular YouTube series. Some of you who have been following CITIUS MAG from the start might be familiar with him because he was one of the original contributors to the site and ran a 4:16 Blue Jeans Mile back in 2017 to set a then-world record. He’s come a long way since. He has run 3:39 for the 1,500 meters and 3:59.97 for the mile. Recently, Brooks decided to take a chance on him and sign him to a contract that will have him training with the Brooks Beasts and coach Danny Mackey in Seattle, Washington. His goal is to make it to the 2021 U.S. Olympic Trials. You’ll hear more about how that deal came to be, his goals and expectations for himself as well as the background story on when he got his start in running on the competitive Connecticut high school scene and then what led him to pick up a camera to start documenting it all to the masses.

Today we welcome professional runner Garrett Heath of the Brooks Beast Team. Garrett was a 9-time All-American at Standford before turning professional. Garrett won the 2014 and 2015 Edinburgh Cross Country short course races before beating Mo Farah in the world championships in 2016. We catch up with Garrett about what his plans are for the future and talk to him about a time he almost took out a rabbit in a race. How did you get your start in running? Running across the gym in kindergarten and lead to stitches in forehead Was always outdoor and active growing up Middle school my father pushed me away from football so tried cross country running You ran for a great program in high school did that help keep you interested? Was exposed to high school team while in middle school There are many successful runners who came out of Minnesota and many of them seemed to spend a lot of time cross country skiing in the winter, did you do much skiing? Did almost all skiing in winter Does keep up fitness, but grow upper body mass and lose a little in the legs You had a great career at Stanford and I’ve heard in your college career your coach had some interesting ways to work on overspeed work? Used a Vespa and attacked long bungee cord on the back and around our waist and would pull you around the track Seems crazy now, but made us run fast from 100-400 meters When did you know that you wanted to try your hand at professional running? Didn't even realize it was a thing until I was in college Junior year started thinking how it could happen Junior year went and did a few races in Europe which exposed me to it What was it like running in Europe, how was it different? Meets are like 10-hours in college while over there it is more of a spectator event and entertainment so meets are just a few hours Really physical Sounds like there is a model of how to make track and field a success with the public, why don't you think we do this in the US? Trying, some races do, some mile races College meets too long Track Town did a great job with this too First time you broke 4 minutes in the mile? At U of Washington. My brother was running at the Junior Cross Country Championships at the same time in Boulder. I was super excited and at the same time my brother was running and won the US Junior race. You are now running with Danny Mackey and Brooks Beast Team, how did that connection happen? Was running with friends, but they started joining other teams so ended up doing a lot of solo time Liked the resources they had available, much like a college team Early in your career, you focused more on the 1500, then you started with some 5ks but this year you ran a good 10k at the Payton Jordan. Where do you see yourself focusing going forward? Getting more used to the longer grinding workouts/runs Still, enjoy the 1500, but I am turning into more of a 5/10k guy Still unfinished busienss in the 5k and just starting with the 10k You have had a lot of success running longer distances in cross country, how different is it racing those bad weather cross contry races vs a controlled track race? XC you need to change your efforts a lot more like a fartlek XC races go by a lot quicker, different things to think about Track try to turn off brain If money and everything were the same would you make a living on the track, roads or xc course? Cross Country Love the team aspect even on national teams You have mentioned a few times about the mental aspect of of racing, how much time do you spend working on your mental game? The mental game is huge Need to work on it in practice Being confident in training goes along with it Not sure how much you pay attention to Let’s Run, but One of the posts from January this year asked who is most jacked Chris Solinsky vs. Garrett Heath vs. Ben True. So how much do you lift and work on strength? We did not lift in college hardly at all Most of that came from cross country skiing and trying to get rid of some of that upper body weight With Brooks and I spend 45 mins 2x a week, but more minimalist lifting than others on the team One thing a lot of casual observers of our sport may not realize is when you run for a team, it is not like running for a professional football or baseball team with a huge salary. What is that relationship like with your sponsors? Spend a lot of time in Brooks office Coming out of college was blind to how it worked Talked to a lot of agents in the day right after finished NCAA The problem was it was in 2009 downturn was not any money Really tough sport because the market is limited Also, run for Roka Sunglasses Final Surge round, 5 questions in under a minute Favorite endurance/running book? - Running with the Buffaloes Current trainers you are wearing? - Brooks Glycerin Favorite race? – Edinburgh Cross Country Favorite recovery meal or recovery drink? – Chocolate Chip Pancakes Your favorite workout – Long Tempos https://www.instagram.com/garrettheath Facebook https://www.facebook.com/rungarrettrun/ Twitter https://twitter.com/_garrettheath
Welcome to Episode 85 of the final surge podcast where today we have the pleasure of bringing you one of the best young track runners in the country Jess Tonn. Jess is fresh off her sub 32 10k win at the Payton Jordan. We talk to Jess about her running career to date including her stellar high school career where she qualified for 4 Foot Locker’s, her running career a Sanford and how it has been making the transition to running with the Brooks Beast team. We talk to her about the amazing coaches she has been blessed to have so far and how that has helped her in her own coaching career with RunDoyen. Jess’ energy is contagious and we hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did recording it. Tell us how you got started running when you were younger Started when was 12 Mother worked in the athletic department at ASU so did many sports Tried many sports like soccer, running came naturally PE teacher recommended after-school running program Joined youth team for USATF Ran at Xavier in Phoenix for high school You had quite a high school career, 4 year Foot Locker qualifier, 14 state titles in cross country and track and you went to an academically challenging high school with Xavier, how hard was it to put in the time you needed to be successful in school and as such an accomplished high school runner? So much pressure on student athletes to perform now Phoenix is hot had to meet at 5 am 6 days a week Academics suffered a little because of hours Had a great support system Was there ever a time in high school you thought I want to be a professional runner some day? When made her first Foot Locker coach sat them down and said this was a big deal Wasnt until college that decided it was a possibility You also had a successful college career as a runner at Stanford, another tough academic school. There are dozens of young women runners in high school who go onto college and you never hear from them again except on Let’s Run message boards saying whatever happened to….. Why do you think you were able to make the jump to the next level? Amazing coaches Jeff Messer, high school coach developed well and left room for potential College transitions that were hard were the lifestyle not running What did you study at Stanford? Communications In November 2015 you signed a contract with Brooks to run as a professional. How hard or easy was it to make the decision to put off your career and chase your dream of being a professional runner? Easy decision When made top 3 in NCAA's knew I wanted to keep going Family and coaches supported making a decision to run professionally What was it about Danny Mackey and the Brooks Beast team that attracted you to them? Prioritized what ideal position would look like as far as living and training Coach, team atmosphere were all important Visited a few teams and companies Brooks HQ atmosphere was unbeatable Coach Mackey was invested in each individual Earlier this month you ran the 10k at Payton Jordan, I want to talk about the race in some details and ask you a few questions about different stages. But first, what were your expectations going into it? Had nagging issues earlier this year but decided at USA's wanted to focus on 10k Had strung together 75-80 mile weeks Training at altitude coming into it A few workouts were tough but indicated was in shape Was great to go back to Stanford Goal was 31:45-32:15 range 2 weeks out did a really hard workout and nailed it so knew was ready What was that really hard workout? 7x 1k, 600 with short rest Do you see yourself as a 10k runner going forward? 2020 plan to try and make 10k team You mentioned you had some injuries, can you talk about getting through those? Had to pull out of Olympic trials which was devastating Had to learn to implement crosstraining Last year was on a long run and snapped a foot bone, came out of nowhere Was in the middle of training block and was in a boot for 8 weeks, 12-week block with no running just swimming, biking and elliptical Had to work on the mental game Rabbit took the group through almost 3k at just sub 32:00 pace and when the rabbit left the track things started to stretch out. At 3200k you were down by about 9 second and by 5k it was almost up to 15 seconds and you were leading a chase group in 3rd. When the lead grew to almost 15 seconds did you ever think I should have gone with Ichiyama? No, had a solid race plan Stayed relaxed over the first 5k The goal was to be around 16:00 at 5k and was within 2 seconds of that Was confident in my race plan 6-8k was a little tough but started closing the gap so gained momentum When got tough kept saying one more lap Knew if was within contact with a mile to go could win In the last mile your group started closing the gap, were you girls talking and communicating as it looked like you took turns leading the chase? No communications, it just happened and took turns leading chase Knew that workouts had set me up to win at end Biggest goal was to compete to win With 800 to go the lead group was back to 5 and Cliff made a push then with 500 to go Pagano made a push, and you were content on the back of the 5 person pack, what were you thinking, what was your plan as you saw what was going on ahead of you? Learned to stay out of chaos but aware if any moves happen Knew when I made a move had to be definitive I could have run faster if made my move a little earlier That last 400 you close in 70, and when you went at 300 there was no doubt who was going to win, you looked so strong. Did you feel as strong as you looked? Felt strong and had been working on mechanics and turnover Through all the drills we had been doing I could feel it pay off over last 200 What have been your keys to consistency across her high school, college, and professional training that have supported your long-term evolution to a sub-32:00 performer? Having fun has been huge for me Staying healthy is tricky because my body feels different now Have had to get to know my body Always riding that line but every injury I can see where I made a mistake, they were learning moments Super in-tune with how I am feeling and communicating with the coach All the pre-hab, rehab is important to staying health What are your plans for he rest of the race season? 5k in June Good 1500 at Portland Track Festival You are now coaching with RunDoyen and we will leave a link in the show notes if anyone wants to get a hold of you about coaching. You have been blessed with amazing coaches since high school. You had one of the top high school coaches in the country with Jeff Messer, then, of course, Stanford and now with the Beast club. All of your coaches are successful, but I am sure they are all different in their own ways and coaching methods. What have you learned from your coaches that you will use in your coaching?

A silver medal at the world championships and a 30-year old athlete who makes theirfirst world team and then places in the top 8. In this episode of On Coaching we bring in friend and coach Danny Mackey. Danny is the
"I'm a gamer. And anyone who trained with me in my 12-year [professional] career would laugh when I say that I'm really bad in workouts. Because they used to say, 'I would kick your ass every single Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, but I can't beat you in a race.' And it's true. I was really lazy in workouts but when it came time to race, especially if something mattered, I just could take it to that next level. Some sports psychologists would argue that that was my secret weapon—that I only dug deep maybe four or five times a season. I could give you a 90-percent effort, maybe even a 95-percent effort, but I really only dug deep the few times that it actually mattered, and that saved me both mentally and physically, and allowed me to have a much longer career." Two-time Olympian, six-time national champion, and 2013 world championships 800m silver medalist Nick Symmonds comes on the podcast for a candid conversation covering a wide range of topics. We discuss his retirement from track and field, his recent foray into marathon training and racing, and the similarities and differences that exist between the two pursuits. We also talk about entrepreneurship, the origin and mission of his company, Run Gum, reflect on his progression from decent college runner to world-class athlete, and dive into how he has dealt with pressure and overcoming nerves throughout his career. "The one commonality was that on both the 800m start line and on the marathon start line, the thought is, 'this is gonna hurt really bad.' And they do, in different ways, but they both really really hurt and there's no way around that," explains Symmonds. "But there's another aspect on the 800m start line that was, 'this matters.' That was extremely important for my career, my family. There's sometimes potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars on the line. It matters—it's really important that you have a good showing. In the marathon, I was just doing it for myself. I wasn't doing it for sponsors or for money or for anybody else. I wanted to go prove to myself that I could run 26.2 miles. So it was a lot less pressure and pressure equals nerves in those kinds of situations. It was just fun." Also in this episode, Symmonds and I get into the sponsorship and marketing side of the sport, we attempt to unpack the antiquated ways of governing bodies, and talk about who—and what—is exciting him in running these days. Additionally, we look back at his relationship with coaches Frank Gagliano, Mark Rowland, and Danny Mackey, what he learned from each of them, how he'd like to be remembered as both an athlete and a person, and much, much more.
