"My first run ever, I remember just having the feeling of so much joy. I said, "Wow, how come I've never experienced this before in the pool? This is so cool." And it was more about just the fact that I had this feeling of being competitive that never really clicked in swimming." And the rest, as they say, is history. It's a huge honor to have Magdalena Boulet as my guest on the podcast this week. Magda is one of the most incredible athletes—and human beings—that I've ever had the fortune of getting to know. The 44-year-old Boulet, who grew up in Poland and moved to Germany before immigrating to the United States as a teenager, made the 2008 U.S. Olympic team in the marathon (and owns a personal best of 2:26:22 for the distance), has qualified for numerous national teams, and, over the last five years, has established herself as a top international ultramarathon runner, winning the prestigious Western States Endurance Run in 2015 and, most recently, the grueling Marathon des Sables, a six-day, 250-ish kilometer stage race through the Sahara Desert. Boulet, who works at GU Energy Labs in Berkeley, California as the VP of Innovation, Research, and Development, has called the Bay Area home for over two decades. She's married to former elite miler, Richie Boulet, and the couple has a young son, Owen. We covered a lot of ground in the course of this hour-long conversation and I felt like we barely scratched the surface of Magda's story, what she's accomplished at various distances and disciplines throughout her competitive career, and how she's able to juggle competing at an elite level with being a wife, mom, and executive, amognst other things, so we'll just have to schedule a Round 2 for another time. But, there's plenty we did talk about, including: — Her beginnings at GU Energy Labs in 1998 and how that relationship has evolved over the years as an athlete and employee. — Growing up as a swimmer in Poland, moving to Germany for a brief period of time, and eventually immigrating to Long Beach, California, where she was exposed to running in her late teens. — Getting herself noticed as a junior college runner by tripling at the state meet and how that eventually led to her to Cal and coach Tony Sandoval. — Transitioning to Cal and falling in love with Berkeley, California and the surrounding area. "I was sold within an hour," she told me. — Her relationship with her husband, Richie, how he inspired her to continue running competitively after college, and why he's been a voice of reason for her through the years. — Coach Jack Daniels, whom she worked with for many years after college, and the influence he had on her overall development as an athlete. — The disappointment of not making the Olympic team in 2004, the decision to have child a few months later, and what fueled her motivation leading up to the 2008 Trials. — How a nasty plantar fasciitis injury in October of 2007 had her contemplating retirement a little over six months out from the 2008 Olympic Trials. — The blow-by-blow of 2008 U.S. Olympic Trials Marathon in Boston, where she led a majority of the race and eventually finished second to Deena Kastor to make the Olympic team. — When (and why) she developed an itch for ultrarunning—and the steps she took to scratch it. — The unpredictability of racing an ultra versus the relative predictability of racing a marathon. — What still excites her from a competitive standpoint, and what's exciting her about running in general right now. — And much more.

Do you want to be a great runner? Do you want to perform at your best? In Malcom Gladwell's best-selling book, Outliers - The Story of Success, we are introduced to the 10,000 hour rule. Gladwell explains that we can become an expert at something if we do it for 10,000 hours. This is based on research done by clinical psychologist, Anders Ericsson. Anders expands on this theory by saying that the 10,000 hours must be done with deliberate practice. TRN's East Coast Executive Producer, Andy Jones-Wilkins joins The Nation with Magdalena Boulet discuss the idea of deliberate practice and how we can become much better by following its simple rules: Set good goals Break things down to simple movements and practice them with purpose Push yourself out of your comfort zone Get feedback AJW's article on Deliberate Practice Anders Ericsson's book, Peak: Secrets from the New Science of Expertise Great podcast: Freakenomics - How to Become Great at Just About Anything
