Conner and Kylie Mantz are redefining what it means to chase big dreams as a team.They're two runners with one purpose–moving stride for stride through life.Conner Mantz has become the new standard-bearer for American marathoning. After winning the 2024 U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials and placing 8th at the Paris Olympics (2:08:12), he stunned the running world in 2025–running 2:05:08 for 4th place at Boston, winning the Beach to Beacon 10K in a course record time of 27:26, and setting the American marathon record of 2:04:43 at the Chicago Marathon. His career arc, which was shaped by BYU coach Ed Eyestone's patient approach, reflects eight years of steady growth from NCAA champion to global contender.Kylie Mantz, meanwhile, has forged her own remarkable path. A latecomer to competitive running, she joined BYU's women's distance program in 2025 and quickly ran 34:57 for 10,000m and 16:49 for 5000m–astonishing progress for someone who didn't run track in high school. Her joy-driven approach, grounded in curiosity and consistency, mirrors Cennor's faith in long-term development.Their parallel journeys (Conner's disciplined pursuit of podiums and records; Kylie's joyful rise into Division I competition) intersect in a shared belief that running is both art and anchor. Together, Conner and Kylie Mantz are proving that love, faith, and discipline can fuel world-class performance.Tap into the Conner and Kylie Mantz Special.  If you enjoy the podcast, please consider following us on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and giving us a five-star review! I would also appreciate it if you share it with your friend who you think will benefit from it. Comment the word “PODCAST” below and I'll DM you a link to listen. If this episode blesses you, please share it with a friend!S H O W  N O T E S-The Run Down By The Running Effect (our new newsletter!): https://tinyurl.com/mr36s9rs-Our Website: https://therunningeffect.run -THE PODCAST ON YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClLcLIDAqmJBTHeyWJx_wFQ-My Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/therunningeffect/?hl=en⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠-Take our podcast survey: https://tinyurl.com/3ua62ffz

Mantz to także najszybszy biegacz w historii maratonu bez korzeni afrykańskich. O tym skąd popularność tej metody treningowej, jaki wpływ ma na nasz organizm i dlaczego wymaga bardzo dużej logistyki rozmawiamy z Andrzejem Witkiem. W tym odcinku usłyszysz m.in.:– O korzyściach ze stosowania treningu cieplnego;– Trudnościach związanych z tą metodą;– Jak drastycznie spada tempo biegu w plastikowym worku;– Praktyczne wskazówki na temat stosowania metody;– Jak stosować heat training.

“If I had even one race like one of my many races this year in another year, I would have been like, “This year was phenomenal because I had that one really good race.' This year felt like every race but one went very well. Every race, I ended up like, ‘I can't believe I just did that' or, ‘That was awesome!' Things maybe weren't perfect, but a lot of my races were close to perfect and that was special to me.”My guest for today's episode is Conner Mantz, the new American record holder in the marathon.On a crisp October morning in Chicago, Mantz ran 2:04:43, smashing Khalid Khannouchi's 23-year-old mark and becoming the fastest American ever over 26.2 miles. It's a record that survived generations of greats from Meb Keflezighi to Ryan Hall to Galen Rupp but Conner Mantz, the soft-spoken racing assassin, made it real.If you've caught all of Conner's post-marathon recap podcast episodes that we've done on this show, you'll notice that he carries the same naïve faith that once made him think he could win NCAA titles and make Olympic teams. It's the same inner voice that still says he can win a World Marathon Major some day or medal at the 2028 Olympics.We talk about what it means to finally get the record, how the race played out into something historic and the proof of what hard work and self-belief can bring you to.____________Host: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠@chris_j_chavez on Instagram⁠Guest: Conner Mantz | @connermantz on Instagram Produced by: Jasmine Fehr | ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr on Instagram⁠⁠⁠____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSNOMIO: Made with 80% broccoli sprout juice, 15% lemon juice, and 5% sugar, Nomio activates your body's natural defense systems to reduce lactate, speed recovery, and enhance muscle adaptation.

“Probably 20, hopefully 24 miles, I'm working with people. But then somewhere between the last 10K and the last two miles, it's going to be a race with whoever is around me. You never know how these races play out, but hopefully I'm going to see people in front of me, I'm going to catch them…and place as high as I can. That's how I see this race playing out: I'm in a pack for 18 to 20 or 24 miles and after that I'm hawking down people.”My recurring guest is back – Conner Mantz is back before he takes on one of the longest-standing marks in American distance running: Khalid Khannouchi's 2:05:38 American record in the marathon. It's been 23 years since anyone has touched that time and if there's an American ready to rewrite the standard, it's Mantz.He's already run faster — 2:05:08 this spring in Boston — but because that course isn't record-eligible. Chicago will be his chance to make it official.As we've unpacked on this show all throughout the year, it's been a breakthrough year for him. In January, he took down Ryan Hall's American half marathon record with a 59:17 in Houston. He ran a little faster in another non-record eligible course at the NYC Half in March. In April, he went stride for stride with 2:02 and 2:03 guys in Boston and finished fourth – just shy of the podium.This weekend, he'll line up in Chicago as America's top marathoner and someone who continues to take the next steps to becoming one of the best in the world. He's got quiet confidence and we've grown accustomed to seeing him test his limits in workouts and these races. In this episode, we talk about what it takes to chase a record, how this build compares to others, what's his race plan and how he's sizing up his competitors.____________Host: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠@chris_j_chavez on Instagram⁠Guest: Conner Mantz | @connermantz on Instagram Produced by: Jasmine Fehr | ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr on Instagram⁠⁠⁠____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSHOKA: We're takin' over Happy Camper Chicago (Old Town) with HOKA during the Chicago Marathon festivities.

“It became, ‘No, I'm attacking this marathon.' It was more of an assertive mentality. Hearing the crowds roar, I was fighting for the podium… It was like, ‘This is it.' I'm doing what I set out to do and I feel great.' It was a very special moment. I was pretty zoned in, but I enjoyed it and I'd love to live through it again.”On a brisk April morning in Boston, Conner Mantz delivered the marathon breakthrough that he's been waiting for. Running fearlessly from the front, Mantz surged through the Newton Hills, hung with a deep pack through about 40 kilometers, and stopped the clock in 2:05:08 seconds — a massive personal best and the second-fastest time ever run by an American. Boston is not a record eligible course, but this was a major performance. He finished fourth overall and just four seconds off the podium in one of the fastest editions in Boston Marathon history. It was a performance that firmly placed Mantz among the world's elite, showing he's not just America's top distance talent, but he's now a serious contender at the sport's highest level too. This came just months after breaking the American record in the half marathon in Houston and just weeks after backing that up with a 59:15 in New York. It's been a big year and it's only April.In today's episode, Conner and I talked through that Boston effort from studying past races, to covering all the big moves, to racing for time and place. We also dig into what's next, chasing Khalid Khannouchi's American record, and the big step forward in American distance running.Hosts: Chris Chavez | ⁠@chris_j_chavez on InstagramGuest: Conner Mantz | @connermantz on Instagram SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSOLIPOP: Big name sodas are rolling out bold new flavors in 2025, but the real buzz is happening in the prebiotic pop aisle.

“I think I'm a guy who can win these races on the right day. I just need to prove that. I think the way to prove that, at least to myself, is to finish in the top three… I'd rather focus on getting on the podium in some of these races."Welcome back Conner Mantz to the CITIUS MAG Podcast for his 9th career appearance on the show. He's back ahead of his return to the 2025 Boston Marathon and he's bringing some serious momentum with him. In the past year alone, Mantz has shattered the American half marathon record in Houston, backed it up with another 57:15 performance at the NYC Half, which is a non-record eligible course, yet quite the performance. He's continued his streak of finishing as the top American in every major marathon since the fall of 2023.We talk about what's different this time around in Boston after his 11th place finish there in 2023, what he's learned from racing shoulder-to-shoulder with the world's best, and what he takes from another upcoming race with Clayton Young. We also go through some of the top contenders in the field and Conner expresses his thoughts on who's got a shot of winning and what he's taken away from each of those competitors.We explore where his mindset is heading into Patriots Day 2025 – a day that could crown the next American to break through on Boston's legendary course. It's been more than a decade since we've had an American man win – and Conner Mantz has a shot.Hosts: Chris Chavez | ⁠@chris_j_chavez on InstagramGuest: Conner Mantz | @connermantz on Instagram SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSOLIPOP: Big name sodas are rolling out bold new flavors in 2025, but the real buzz is happening in the prebiotic pop aisle.
