Welcome to a new episode of The Dad Up Podcast. I'm excited to share another episode with this guest and the exciting journey he is about to embark on this summer. Paris would be Summer Games debut for 27-year-old Calgary-born runner. Rory Linkletter is only the 2nd Canadian to hit the Olympic qualifying standard in the men's marathon for Paris this summer. The 27-year-old set a personal-best time of two hours eight minutes one second at the Sevilla Marathon in Spain. Rory ran nine seconds under the 2:08:10 standard and posted the third-fastest finish all-time among Canadian men behind Cam Levins (2:05.36 and 2:07.09). Rory Linkletter moved from Canada to the United States at age six and became a U.S. citizen in 2020. He holds dual citizenship. Coached by American marathon record holder Ryan Hall, he starred for five years at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, where Rory earned six All-American citations. Rory is a distance runner who first represented Canada internationally at the 2015 IAAF World Cross Country Championships in the U20 division. He subsequently went on to compete at the IAAF World Cross Country Championships in both 2017 and 2019. He finished second in 10,000m at the 2017 NCAA Championships. During his college running career, he earned six All-American citations while competing for Brigham Young University, where he majored in political science and minored in communications. Rory set a new Canadian record at the Houston Half-Marathon in January 2022. Rory lowered Jeff Schiebler's 23-year-old Canadian half-marathon record of 61:28, crossing the finish line in 61:08 for eighth place. However, before he laces up his everyday to train for his upcoming Olympic debut, Rory is a family man with a very supportive wife and two amazing kids. In our conversation, Rory not only shares his journey to get to the Olympic stage, but also how much he loves being a dad.

Ed and Vikas discuss the running and training journey of the top two marathoners at US Olympic Trials 2024 - Conner Mantz and Clayton Young. Ed Eyestone is more than just a name in the world of distance running—he's a renowned expert and seasoned coach with an impressive track record.

Eyestone's coaching journey has been equally remarkable, marked by multiple accolades including three-time selection as "Coach of the Year" for the Mountain West Conference. His crowning achievement came in 2019 when he led the BYU men's cross-country team to victory at the NCAA D1 Championship race, becoming the first male coach to achieve both an individual NCAA D1 Cross Country title and a national team title.In addition to his coaching prowess, Eyestone's influence extends to the international stage, having served as head coach of Team USA at the 2017 IAAF World Cross Country Championships. His latest triumph comes in the form of coaching Conner Mantz and Clayton Young, who secured top positions in the US Olympic trials with stellar performances clocking in at 2:09:05 and 2:09:06, respectively. With Eyestone at the helm, it's no surprise that his athletes consistently excel, embodying the spirit of dedication, perseverance, and a drive for excellence that defines the world of competitive running.About Vikas Singh:Vikas Singh, an MBA from Chicago Booth, worked at Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, APGlobale, and Reliance before coming up with the idea of democratizing fitness knowledge and helping beginners get on a fitness journey.

Ben Preisner joined the cross country team in Grade 9 as a way to stay fit while playing hockey. As he progressed through High School, his relationship with running took an unexpected turn. Ben, still relatively new to the sport, represented Canada for the first time as a junior, placing 11th in the 3,000-meter steeplechase and 16th in the 2,000-meter steeplechase at the IAAF World Junior/Youth Track and Field Championships. The following year, he won the 2,000-meter steeplechase and placed 3rd in the 3,000-meter run at the OFSAA Track and Field Championships. Ben would go on to compete at the collegiate level for the University of Tulsa where he had success in various distances both indoors and out. In his senior year, Ben represented Canada at the 2019 IAAF World Cross Country Championships held in Aarhus, Denmark. After graduating with a degree in chemical engineering, Ben started to think about the next chapter of his life and didn't see himself competing post-collegiate in the distances he ran at Tulsa. That's when Ben discovered there was a half marathon taking place in Vancouver and, one month after graduating from university, he broke the tape at the 2019 Scotiabank Vancouver Half-Marathon. Five months later, he broke the tape at the 2019 Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Half Marathon. Looking to build on his success in road running, Ben set his sights on the marathon distance and the Canadian Olympic Standard. When his goal race, the 2020 London Marathon, was pushed back from April to October, he reached out to the organizers of The Marathon Project and pleaded his case to join the list of 50 men and 50 women invited to the exclusive event. Ben would ultimately better the Canadian Olympic Standard time in the marathon distance and, seven months later, Ben Preisner would once again represent Canada at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

In what was heralded as a ground breaking move for the discipline, the 2019 IAAF World Cross Country Championships were staged in the grounds of a museum in the Danish town of Aarhus. With mud, water, sand and a horde of Vikings this was billed as a new era for the historic Cross Country Championship which had seen declining interest, particularly in Europe in recent years. DTT’s roving reporter Lisa Verstraten was on hand in Aarhus to provide a number of pre and post races interviews with Team Australia, capturing the nerves, anticipation, excitement and elation of the event. DTT also gives the inside scoop on the initial planning phase for the next World Cross Country – Bathurst 2021. So listen in for what’s planned for the next major championship to come to Australia.

Episode 12 is in the house! Today we are speaking with Stephanie Rothstein Bruce. I feel comfortable saying that Stephanie has been a beacon of hope, and inspiration to so many female runners out there- especially the mama’s. I myself don’t have children yet, but I have often thought about Stephanie’s journey when I think about my own desire to have babies- which conflicts with some of the life stuff I still want to do. Stephanie has been proof to me that many of the conflicts I thought existed when it comes to having babies and pursing your dreams are really all in my head. Stephanie had her two boys in a two year time span, and then went on to run an A standard Olympic trials qualifying time in the 10k- only 7 months post-partum. Stephanie kept the ball rolling from there, tackling pronounced diastis recti and other side effects shall we say of carrying and birthing two babies in short succession. She most recently finished 22nd at the 2017 IAAF World Cross Country Championships- the highest place for a non-African born runner, 10th at the New York City marathon, and was the winner of the Arizona Rock and Roll half marathon a few weekends ago. Stephanie was such a pleasure to speak with, and she was totally game for some of my stranger end of podcast questions. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/chasing-bravery/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/chasing-bravery/support

Neely was the first professional athlete that I interviewed with, and she was so sweet to be as patient as she was with the fact that I was clearly starstruck. I think we all have our weaknesses, or biases should I say when it comes to the individuals we admire. To me professional runners are superstars. Throw me in an interview with Jennifer Anniston-no problem- ask me to have a conversation with any human who has held an American flag behind them while wearing racing flats and spandex....whole different story. For those who don't know, Neely is a professional distance runner for Addidas. She has historically competed in distances from the 5000 to the marathon. She twice represented her country at the  IAAF World Cross Country Championships and was the top non-African runner in 2013. She also ran at the 2011 Pan American Games She attended Shippensburg University and won eight NCAA Division II titles while there. She ran her first half marathon in 2013 then made a marathon debut at the 2016 Boston Marathon, where she was the top American. Neely currently lives in Colorado with her husband and their dog Strider. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/chasing-bravery/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/chasing-bravery/support
