Two-time Olympian and renowned runner, Kim Conley, joins Laura on the podcast this week to share her incredible story of defying all odds to reach the pinnacle of her sport. From facing disappointments in college to becoming an Olympian with her first endorsement deal within just three years, Kim's tale is a testament to the power of perseverance and self-belief. In addition to her prowess on the track, she also operates a successful coaching company which caters to runners of all abilities across the nation. Today, this very special guest details the many powerful lessons she has learned during her unforgettable journey of passion, triumph, and dedication. Throughout this fascinating conversation, Kim recounts her road to the Olympics, her transition to marathon running, the challenges she faced during her athletic career, and how she balanced her personal life with her professional ambitions. She highlights the significance of teamwork in running, where even middle-of-the-pack athletes play crucial roles in team scores, and notes that her love for running and the joy she finds in the sport have been the driving forces behind her success and continued dedication to the marathon. The life-changing grant that allowed her to devote herself wholly to training for the Olympic Trials, and the sheer determination and courage she demonstrated in securing her place in the Olympics by a razor-thin margin are also discussed. Kim goes on to introduce her coaching business, "Next Best Run," and her plans for the future, including her quest for the 2024 Paris Olympics. As you will hear, Kim Conley's story, as shared here today, is a truly remarkable one of grit, passion, and seizing the moment that will undoubtedly leave you inspired to pursue your own dreams, no matter what obstacles you may encounter in your path. Episode Highlights: Overcoming disappointments. The value of teamwork Setting ambitious goals Finding joy in running Pursuing excellence Striving for support and independence Kim's make-or-break moment Tactical Olympic trials Quotes: "Sometimes we just need to give ourselves the opportunity to do great things. All of our paths to get there may look different, but every effort we make matters." "I was really focused on really helping the coaches with the recruiting process and trying to build up the team so that we could be the type of team that would qualify for Nationals." "I felt like, ‘Wow, in three years, if I keep making progress, could I get to the Olympic Trials? Would that make me feel accomplished and make up for this huge, heartbreaking disappointment with college?'" "I just need to stop fixating on the outcome and just try to run as hard as I possibly can to see where that lands me." "A lot of it is about where running is fitting into a person's life and how they're feeling. And so I like to have a lot of communication and interaction with the people that I work with." "With the support of coaches, with the support of my family, I kind of set that goal of ‘I want to be at the Olympic Trials in three years.' And so that's how I decided to keep pursuing it after college." "I want to be a runner for my entire life.” Links: The Pursuit of Gold Website Learn more about the Take Action Workshop Laura's Social Media: Laura's Instagram Laura's Facebook Connect with Kim: Kim's Website Kim's Instagram

Kim and her coach/husband Drew are building an exciting, personalized online coaching service and community for runners. This conversation is from an IG live I hosted with Kim. We focused on the positive community they're aiming to build and her plan to connect with more runners at major races on Kim's calendar. Since the launch, they've been sharing their athletes' success stories and journeys and have added NAZ Elite pro Lauren Hagans and Devin Elizondo as coaches.

Making a third Olympic team isn't easy. Add in a pandemic and a yearlong Olympic delay and it creates challenges for Olympians like Kim Conley. Conley represented Team USA in distance running at the 2012 London Olympics and the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics. The UC Davis grad and New Balance-sponsored athlete was on track to qualify for her third Olympic team in the 5000m when COVID-19 struck. Runners were fortunate when the lockdown started since running wasn't canceled and doesn't require a practice facility in proximity to other people for training. But distance running in your 30s isn't always easy. Recovery takes long. Injuries can happen at any time. But Kim was feeling healthy and made the decision to double down on her commitment to making that third Olympic team. That led to a major life decision to leave Northern California and relocate to Flagstaff, Arizona. And she's reaped both physical and mental benefits ever since. On this Dying to Ask: How Kim made the call to leave her support system in Northern California and move to Flagstaff, Arizona How athletes avoided COVID-19 this past year What Kim feared might happen to her career if she tested positive for coronavirus And how to fine-tune your own grit when your life plan goes sideways

This week we're talking to Kim Conley, two time Olympian, pro for New Balance, UC Davis alum, who is currently chasing down a spot on the 2021 Olympic team. Kim has secured qualifying times for the 2021 US Olympic trials in the 10K and 5K. We talk about her evolution from running XC in high school on a team with Sara Hall (then Bei) to graduating UC Davis feeling like she had unfinished business, to going all in on the 2012 track trials and having her breakthrough moment and becoming a New Balance sponsored athlete. Kim shares how it was challenging to adjust to “being an Olympian” and how her mindset shifted her second time at the Olympics in 2016. Kim talks about her current training, how she is coping with the uncertainty of the Olympics this year, track meets in the time of Covid, and her excitement about ultimately turning her attention to the marathon. Some highlights from our conversation:

Kim Conley (Olympian and US champion) joins Andi and Zach to discuss the role of mindset in the runner’s journey. Andi and Zach also unpack the recent NCAA indoor track championships and the first post-pandemic fully open to the public marathon in Japan.

Big question: Who will hit the Olympic 10,000m standard? This is what it’s all about. This meet, organized by Sound Running, consists of just two races, both featuring small elite fields targeting the Olympic standards of 27:28.00 (men) and 31:25.00 (women). Currently, just three American men (Lopez Lomong, Eric Jenkins, and Shadrack Kipchirchir) and nine American women have the standard. And while it is possible to qualify for the Olympics based off your world ranking, your position is a heck of a lot safer with the standard in your back pocket. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFe2...​ The TEN (California) Free live stream: Professional Track Series YouTube channel Start times: 11:15 p.m. ET (women), 11:55 p.m. ET (men) Entrants: Men — Grant Fisher, Ben True, Woody Kincaid, Edward Cheserek, Chris Derrick, Marc Scott, Kieran Tuntivate, Reid Buchanan; Women — Marielle Hall, Gwen Jorgensen, Karissa Schweizer, Elise Cranny, Kim Conley, Emily Infeld, Eilish McColgan #theTEN​ #KarissaSchweizer​ #EdwardCheserek​ In March of 2020, I slipped on the illegally dumped cooking grease in front of John’s Burger and couldn’t walk for 6 weeks.

I've had this week circled on the calendar for the last year. The 2020 Tokyo Olympics should be starting this week. Instead, athletes and the rest of us are dealing with a pandemic, the repercussions of which we won't fully grasp for a long time. But, in the "now," Olympic hopefuls are reflecting on what would have been if COVID-19 hadn't proven to be such a fierce competitor. This week, I'm catching up with two-time U.S. Olympic distance runner Kim Conley. Kim is a middle- and long-distance runner who represented her country at the 2012 and 2016 Olympics. She was primed to make her third Olympic Team when coronavirus derailed this summer's Games. Hear more about Kim's background in episode 34 of the podcast. On this Dying to Ask:What Kim has been doing since the announcement was made to postpone the Olympics to 2021Why Kim is luckier than most Olympic hopefuls in terms of sponsorships and training opportunityWhat Kim discovered about motivation when every single race on her calendar was canceledAnd why we all need to "think like an Olympian" when it comes to living through the pandemic

Two-Time Olympian New Balance Pro Runner Kim Conley shares her unbelievable journey to the Olympics, her plans for 2021, lessons learned along the way and so much more!

Kim Conley: 2-time Olympic athlete and middle and long distance track star. Part of what I find so inspiring about Kim is the way in which she has pulled it out and come back in the final meters and final seconds of races to secure the win.  We're really fortunate to have Kim on the show today to share some of her strategies and tactics that have helped her stay fit, train hard and recover after all those hard workouts throughout her career. Today on the Doc On The Run Podcast we are talking with Kim Conley, about the strategies she uses to recover quickly after hard training blocks, or when resuming training after a world-class event.

On today's episode I discuss the bombshell that was the delaying of the Olympic Qualifying window by World Athletics as well as how an Olympian copes with suspending the Olympics. Thanks again to the feed - http://clubs.thefeed.com/runningthroughit

Episode 124: We welcome back Olympian Kim Conley to the Final Surge Podcast. Kim has had a rough time with injuries since she last joined us before her marathon debut. She is back on the track now and we discuss what her plans are for the 2020 Olympic year. :40 Last time we had you on we were talking about you doing your first marathon. With the Olympics in 2020 just a year away, what are your plans? 1:55 What type of injuries did you go through? 2:20 How long will you be at altitude training? 2:32 What are you going to be focussing on in the immediate future? 3:09 In 2016 you went after both the 10k and the 5k, will that be the plan again? 4:04 You recently raced at Payton Jordan and I want to read an Instagram post you did right after the race.   “ I spent some time pulling the field along last night in the 5000m, but my indecisiveness to push the pace from the front also reminded me that I have additional elements to address as I rediscover my racing identity." What do you mean by this? 5:54 Do you think the reason was gameplan or because of the time you missed that you didn't finish like you wanted? 6:35 Are you making progress towards getting your competitive edge back? 7:17 How often are you getting up to altitude for training? 7:35 A lot of everyday runners go through injury issues too, what advice do you have to them for coming back from an injury? 8:55 How long did it feel like it took for your fitness to come back? 9:53 How hard is it mentally to come back and know you are not where you used to be? 10:52 Do you have a group you are training with? 11:17 What do you think of the new Olympic standards in place? 12:12 Has it changed your training at all? 13:00 What would you like to see as a selection process for the US? 14:25 How is your training changed coming back from injury? 15:06 What different rehab/prehab exercises are you doing? 15:25 Tell us about the new book about you called The Underdog 16:27 How involved in the process have you been?   Resources Episode 28 with Kim Conley from 2016 Kim on Twitter Kim on Instagram Kim Website

Kim Conley is just plain scrappy. While every runner has a unique story, Kim's journey to the world of professional running does not resemble the path of many of her fellow competitors. Growing up in Santa Rosa, California Kim's track career began in 1998 when she joined the Santa Rosa Express Track Club. She went on to compete at UC Davis, but despite steady improvement over her years as an Aggie, she graduated in 2009 with only one national-level collegiate appearance to her name. Determined to improve, Kim emerged definitively on the professional running scene at the 2012 Olympic Trials in Eugene, OR. In one of the most dramatic races of the meet, Kim mounted a comeback effort over the final lap, culminating in a sprint down the home stretch to move from 5th place to a 3rd place. Kim's podium finish, combined with a race result that fell .21 seconds inside the Olympic A standard, solidified a qualifying spot on the US Olympic team. Kim's story is for any athlete who never thought they were talented enough. She is proof positive that hard work pays off!

“Not to sound cheesy, but anything is possible. I think that when you set your mind to something, and make a plan on how to get there, then you just chip away at what the next step of the plan is and you keep working up to the next step on the staircase basically—and it's amazing how far you can go.” Really enjoyed sitting down with two-time U.S. Olympian Kim Conley this past weekend after she finished fourth at the NYRR Abbott Dash to the Finish Line 5K, a race which doubled as the U.S. 5K road championships for 2018. The 32-year-old Conley, who has been battling a series of injuries since early 2017, is finally healthy again and setting her sights on returning to the track in 2019. Based in Sacramento, where she lives and trains with her husband and coach, Drew Wartenburg, Conley ran collegiately at nearby U.C. Davis, where she graduated in 2009 with modest personal bests of 16:17 for 5000m and 4:22 in the 1500. Despite not being fast enough to land a sponsorship deal after college, Conley knew that she still had some unfinished business in the sport, so she decided to stick with it. It's a decision that has certainly paid off: Conley has made the last two Olympic teams in the 5000m, captured national titles in the 10,000m and half marathon, and improved her personal bests to 15:08 and 4:07, respectively. We covered a wide range of topics in this conversation, including: what Conley has taken away from her most recent injury experience; her marathon debut in 2016 and what she learned from that race (and why she's going to stay focused on the track through 2020); the state—and strength—of American women's distance running right now; her own progression in the sport, from good but not great high school and college runner to two-time Olympian and national champion; her new upcoming biography, Underdog, which comes out next spring; the shutting down of NorCal Distance, her current training situation in Sacramento, and what's it like to be coached by her husband, Drew Wartenburg; what other runners can take away from her story; and much, much more.

Welcome to episode 73 of the Final Surge Podcast. We have had some great runners on this podcast. Neely Spence Gracey, Nick Willis, Nick Symmonds, Dathan Ritzehein, Kim Conley and more, but maybe none has had a bigger influence on the running scene, especially the American running scene like today's guest. Today we welcome American mile record holder, Alan Webb. Alan retired from running in 2014 and has not been seen much around the running community since then, but that is about to change. Alan is part of a group starting a new coaching service called RunDoyen. We talk to Alan about the goals of the business and how you or anyone else can get personalized coaching from him and other professional runners. We also spend a little time talking about his training and the state of American middle distance running. Please remember to share this podcast on social media.    Before we get to some questions about your career, let’s find out what you have been up to for the last three years. How is the truck repair business? Business has been great There is a new site and Twitter account popping up called RunDoyen. It has listed yourself, Tara Welling, Ryan Vail, Aaron Braun, Jessica Tonn and more. A tweet said you are launching a new concept that reinvents the way the running community connects. Can you tell us what this project is? Coaching site, schedule time with one of the coaches Video chat Final Surge training logs Message board system Access to professional runners Will it be a monthly membership service?

Mile to marathon Not limiting to one distance, offering variety If someone is interested in working with you in a mile program, what is the timeframe? Customized to individual Would prefer more time 2-3-6 months to develop Looking to build relationships long-term What was it about this idea that got you excited to get involved in it? Easy to use packaged online system Can help people around world to work with different people What else can people expect? Drills, strength training, other things integrated into the training plan Communication between athlete and coach on daily basis Athlete tells us what is going on so we can make adjustments What type of feedback are you looking for with communications from your clients? What actually got done How you are feeling, how run went Any questions they have for the coaches Video appointments for communications too Are nutrition and physical therapist you have listed on site included? Different packages Can schedule time with other specialists These are well-known professionals, what type of client you will be working with? We are all looking for variety More geared towards non-professionals People looking to improve We know your work ethic and how hard you hit it on your workout days. What is your coaching philosophy? There are times you need to hit it hard, but also time for recovery Recovery balance is important Recovery helps keep you healthy Will you personally be working with someone who wants to run a longer distance like a marathon? Yes, looking forward to it When you ran you were known as someone who liked to hit the weight room and hit workouts hard. Was that something specific to Alan Webb or would you incorporate this into your athletes you are working with too? That was specific to me More important for me as a miler than a marathon runner Strength training is important, but specific to athlete Amount/intensity needs to adjust to event/athlete We had Jonathan Marcus on recently and talked about some of your workouts, will be dusting off your training logs to bring some of those back? Some of it for sure Will be adapted to the athlete/event Some of the basic workouts are great, fun, tough One of the workouts was a shorter 100's do you remember what your paces were? 400-800 goal race pace Really fast going hard Hardened to faster pace to take edge off the mile Do you have all your old running logs? Lost some, but have many of them  A few high school years have a few lost Have quite a bit It has been three years since you retired if you could paint a picture of what that time has looked like? Tore ALC so personal running has taken a dive 2 and 5 year old are handfuls, but going great Wife Julia getting ready to run her first marathon Do you have any running goals for the future? Would love to run a marathon Would be just to get through it Nick Symmonds is my inspiration Have to get ACL fixed first You are arguably the greatest US middle distance runner of all time. So when you looked at retiring, why truck repair? Good growth market Enjoyed learning a new skill and been fun I want to ask you about the mile. When Steve Scott set it, it stood for 25 years before you broke it in 2007. And now it has been another decade and no one has touched it. Why do you think this has been so hard to break? It is a fast time Have to be on and everything go right To stay at the level is difficult, tough to get there You ran 3:46, that is a well respected time. Is American middle distance running progressing the way it should be? Yes, we are progressing the right direction We are getting medals in major championship races We are seeing on a consistent basis success in big races Big pipeline coming up High School runners are now breaking 4 minutes on a regular basis What do you think has been the biggest reason for the resurgence? Internet makes it easier to be a track fan What advice do you have for young high school runners? Persevere and don't worry about people running faster Different runners develop at different ages You had times in your career that you were plagued by injuries. Looking back at it now is there anything you think you would have done differently? Would have added in more recovery Would have been a little more conservative in workouts Better perspective Final Surge 5 questions in under a minute Favorite endurance/running book? - Perfect Mile Current trainers you are wearing? - Nike Structure Triax Favorite race? - American Mile Record Favorite recovery meal or recovery drink? - Spaghetti  Your favorite workout - 800's, 8x800 Resources RunDoyen on Twitter RunDoyen Website Alan Webb on Twitter Alan Webb American record mile race

It’s been a big few years for professional runner and Olympian Kate Grace. In 2016, the Yale graduate won the Olympic Trials in the 800-meter event in Eugene, OR, and went on to represent Team USA in Rio, where she finished eighth. She chased that with a personal best in the 800 meters in Zurich, running a 1:59.47. A few months later, Kate's contract with Oiselle, her sponsor of four years and her first major professional sponsor, was up, and she announced her decision to join Nike, the industry behemoth despised by many at Oiselle. Then, this past fall, Kate officially joined Portland, OR-based Bowerman Track Club, where she now trains alongside some of professional running’s greatest, fastest women, including Shalane Flanagan, Amy Cragg, and Emily Infeld, and is coached by Jerry Schumacher. On this episode, Kate lets us all inside the head of a hardworking athlete and Olympian. She shares what it’s like training with some of the fastest women in the world, and talks about the “not glamorous” parts of racing. She explains her recent sponsorship decisions, breaks down how to master the 800m, and talks about why the 800-meter race at the Trials was “a shitshow.” Plus, Kate shares what it’s like competing at the Oympics — and what the athlete’s village is really like — and talks about how to deal with injuries, her fitness-world-famous mom, the comeback she’s hoping for this February, and what’s next.

Welcome to episode 28 of the Final Surge podcast where today we talk to Olympian Kim Conley who made her marathon debut this past fall. We talk about her epic Olympic Trial 5k race in 2012, her incident she had in the 10k trials this year and we discuss her making the jump to a marathon this fall. Two weeks ago we had a conversation with Olympian Nick Willis and we are giving away two free boot camps to his Miler Method. The two winning entries from iTunes are MilebyMile and DAllen. Email me Dean@Finalsurge.com or hit us up on Twitter @finalsurge and we will get you hooked up.  Kim we always like to start out getting to know a little bit about our guests, can you tell our listeners how you got started in running? So you started early in 6th grade, when was the point that you realized you were pretty good at this running thing and may have a future in it? At what point did you start looking at colleges and what lead you to to UC Davis? When you were running in school what were your plans, was running something to help get you through school or did you have aspirations of running post-collegiately. Probably my favorite race of yours was the 2012 Olympic Trials. For those who don’t know the story let me set it for you. You did not have an A standard going into the trials. And you needed the A to get to the Olympics. Julia Lucas had pushed the pace and you kept it so the A standard was within Reach. Coming into the last lap it was still in question if you would be top 3 and if you would get the A standard. Can you walk us through the last lap of that race? At this year’s Trials, you were one of the favorites to make the team in both the 10k and the 5k. You did make the team in the 5k, but in the 10k it was not the results you wanted when you lost a shoe in the race. Can you tell us what happened there and what went through your mind when you were deciding to continue or not? If you had made it what would you have done, both or which? You mentioned the US distance women are really deep, we can see that with the difference between 12 and this year with the A standards. What do you think are the big differences right now in women’s distance? Do you think women are training differently or do you think it is more of the groups pushing each other? You had a couple of 15:10’s this year before the Olympics, were you happy with the race at the Olympics or is there anything you would have changed? Do you think the struggle was something you did leading up to the race or just bad races happen? You made your marathon debut in New York this last fall, and you were coming off the Olympics where you had been training for the 5k. So how did the training have to change in the short time between Rio and NY? Did you know you would be doing NY before Rio? What type of difference were there in volume you did for your 5k work vs. your marathon training? What were your goals going into the race, how did you think it was going to go? So you have a marathon under your belt now. What do you think, you have a lot more marathons in your future? So when will the next marathon be fall 2017 or likely 18? What did you do well, that you would do again and what would you change in training? How about the race itself, What if anything would you have done differently? What did you do about fueling during the race? What was your diet like leading up to the race? For an adult age group runner who maybe has run a lot of 5 and 10k’s, what advice would you have for them on making their marathon debut? 2017 is here, we are one week into the new year. What are your goals for this year? What does a typical week this time of year look like for you?

In episode 10 we get ready for the start of track at the Olympics by talking to coach Drew Wartenburg of the NorCal Distance Project. Drew coaches Kate Grace who will be running the 800 and Kim Conley who will be running the 5k in Rio. We talk about their training, race strategies, how they use Final Surge in their training and answer some questions from Twitter. :45 How did you get your start in running? 3:40 When you started coaching what level was that at? 4:40 Then in 2014 you started the NorCal Distance Project? 5:42 You had a pretty good showing in the Olympic trials. Let’s start by talking about what Kate Grace did in the 800. What a great story this was. She ran controlled early and qualified 8th in the first round. Then in the second round, 8 make finals, and she was 6th. And then saving her best for last I believe she ran a PR in the 800? 7:25 What was the thought process on focusing on the 800 and tell us what you two were thinking going into the finals? They talked about staying safe, which if you saw the race was a wise decision. 10:00 The first lap went out quick in the finals, about a 57 first lap. Was this what you expected? 10:45 Part of being a great runner is not only being fast, but running smart. Kate seemed to do a great job kind of staying towards the back of the pack to the inside, then with about 130 left Kate really started moving, what was your thought at that point? 12:50 Drew talks about Kate’s celebration moment, or lack there of. 13:55 You talked about that hand on the knees moment, you see that at the end of most of these races, but Kate finished with a look on her face like she was ready to do it again. - Drew talks about how they prepared for that moment. 15:32 We talk 800 racing strategy. I would love to get your thoughts. Most 800 races seem to go out the first lap about 2 seconds faster than the second lap. One of my favorites races ever is the 1972 Olympics won by American Dave Wottle. The first lap, the two Kenyas are out front and Wottle was like 2 second behind 200 meters into the race. Bottle is not only in last, but a good amount behind the leader. Then Kenyans run a 52 first lap, and a 54 second lap. Just like most 800s. Wottle runs about a 53.2/52.5 I believe, almost even, slight negative split by a half second and wins in a dramatic come from behind situation. Do you think that runners could do a better job by backing off a little in the first lap or do you think they need to go? 19:15 Another athlete you had make the team is Kim Conley in the 5k. She was one of the favorites in the 10k, but then, there was a shoe incident were she lost a shoe in the race. Can you tell is what your thought process was as you were watching it? 22:40 Was it her decision to drop in the 10k or did you tell her to pull out? 24:40 In the 5k there was a group of 6 girls with 400 to go including Huddle, Houlihan, Mackey, Infeld and Kim, who are all known to have great finishes. At about 300 left things were starting to spread out, how were you feeling about her chances at that time? 27:10 When preparing for the US Trials you really need to be at your best to make the team and peak at the right time. So how hard is to hold that peak for another 6-7 weeks until the Olympics starts? 29:40 Have you talked to them about what their goals are now that they are in the Olympics? 30:50 It was recently announced that Kim is making her marathon debut in NYC in November. How are you balancing the training between the 5k now and marathon debut soon? Questions from Twitter: 34:05 First question from @DougPetrick1 - Other than the number of reps & pace, how different are your workouts for runners that do similar events? 36:30 Do you use any lactate threshold measuring devices in your training and if so do you have any recommendations? 38:10 You are using Final Surge for your training with your athletes, how is that working for you and what do you like most about it? 41:37 Rapid fire, 5 questions in under a minute ready Rapid Fire... 5 questions in under 1 minute Favorite running book or blog? - Life at These Speeds by Jeremy Jackson Current trainers you are wearing? - New Balance 880’s Favorite race? - The next one on the schedule Favorite recovery meal or recovery drink? - Chocolate milk followed by a good burger Your favorite piece of running equipment that is not your shoes? - A good running hat   Drew on Twitter
