This week's guest is Matt Llano of Under Armour and Dark Sky Distance. Matt is a 2:11 marathoner who has represented the U.S. internationally at the World Half Marathon Championships and has competed on the elite level in 4 of the 6 Abbott World Marathon Majors. Matt is a New York native who ran collegiately for the University of Richmond, where he was an All-American, and now lives and trains in Flagstaff, Arizona, with his boyfriend and two dogs. Matt came on the podcast to share his acquired wisdom and experience as he trains for his 11th marathon as a professional runner, as well as his unique perspective on the changing landscape for queer athletes and everything in between. We also covered HGTV, dog miles, beginning our careers in swimming, and track vs. road racing. This episode is brought to you by the Under Armour All-Out Mile. It's not too late to sign up for free and race a fast and fun mile this month as part of the Citius Mag team. You can go to uaalloutmile.com/runyourmouth to sign up for your chance to win awesome prizes (including cash!). We've had a lot of fun promoting this awesome virtual race and community event all month and if you want a quick, easy way to support the podcast you can take 5 minutes to sign up and join the Citius team! On choosing the NYC marathon: “I ran it in 2016 in the midst of some injuries […] and I'm excited to go back and hopefully have some redemption. It's my home state, the state where I was born; so to go back and rewrite my story is what I'm hoping to do this time around.” On running his 11th marathon: “I'm still learning with every race. Some come easier than others, but the marathon is just such a beast that no matter how many you've run, you can never take it for granted that you've got it figure out. It will always find out a way to humble you.” Of the changing attitudes toward queer representation in athletics: “It makes me feel a little envious of people going to school now to see how much has changed – not in a bad way, but to be able to be more comfortable, more open throughout college, I'm envious of that. I'm so happy for how far we've come and so happy to have been part of that conversation in a way that advanced discussion and acceptance in the running community. Nobody knew how to have those conversations at the time, and I'm glad it's getting so much easier.”

“That was the kicker: Matt said, ‘If the dog doesn’t like you, you have to go.’” One day, in Flagstaff, AZ, professional runner Matt Llano walked into a local coffee shop where Brannon Harbur was working. That first day they met, they talked for hours — long after Brannon’s shift had ended. They agreed to meet up for a first date of sorts, at a group run. Fitting, for a professional runner. But Brannon wasn’t a runner. Still, he showed up, because he was interested — in Matt, not in running. Brannon went on to run 10 miles (alongside Stephanie Bruce), getting to know Matt in the process. They’ve been together every day since then. Today, Matt is a professional runner for Under Armour and Dark Sky Distance, and Brannon is the Chief Experience Officer of Mental Performance at HYPO2. On this episode, they talk about how running factors into their relationship today, and about the time Brannon tried to teach Matt about accounting while on a long run. (It…didn’t go well.) Plus, they talk about meeting each other’s families, share their coming out stories, and talk about being LGBTQ+ role models in the running community and beyond. They live together in Flagstaff with their two dogs. SPONSOR: UCAN — Go to ucan.co/ontherun for 20% off your next UCAN order!

Matt Fitzgerald has been running (and writing about running) for most of his adult life. Like many passionate amateur runners, he never felt he quite fulfilled his potential. In his mid-forties, Matt convinced Ben Rosario, head coach of Northern Arizona Elite, to let him train with a roster of national champions and Olympic hopefuls in the running mecca of Flagstaff, Arizona. These runners included Scott Fauble, Kellyn Taylor, Stephanie and Ben Bruce, Matt Llano, Tim Ritchie, and several others. Matt's mission: Run the race of his life at the Chicago Marathon by preparing exactly like a professional runner. Matt’s gripping account of his “fake pro runner” experience allows us to partake in his dream of fulfilling his potential. Matt also details this process through the eyes of the pro's who live that life year round, year after year. Running the Dream pulls us into the rarefied world of professional running in a way we can all relate to, regardless of speed, and to take away pieces of one man’s amazing journey to try to achieve our own potential.

The 303 chain ring: The bike chain ring is unique to the bicycle and a component of the original 303 Cycling logo, representing the legacy of the 303 Endurance Network's history. It surrounds the globe and triangles and it's circular image represents a continuing journey that has no beginning or ending. What we are taking from the former MHE logo: The mountains at the center of the logo is one triangle comprised of 3 smaller triangles in dark orange on the bottom, light orange in the middle and white (snow cap) at the top. From Denver, the view of the front range at sunset reveals a layering of the ranges with the closest foothills appearing dark orange at sunset. The farther lower range of mountains appearing lighter orange. Even further in the distance are the tallest mountains covered in snow. Whether you navigate through the mountain ranges, each mountain is it's own challenge to climb and represents a part of the journey. The sports: The triangle shape itself is comprised of three sides and symbolic of three dimensions, in the case of endurance sport that lined up nicely with the three sports of triathlon. The composite image is single triangle made up of three smaller triangles, each representing individual sports of endurance. While many of us are multisport endurance athletes, there are also many of us that also single sport endurance athletes, such as pure runners or cyclists. Each triangle standing on its own merits of its individual sport of swimming, cycling or running.

He bounded back to the patio, sneakers pounding a postage stamp-sized patch of grass. He spun around and repeated the loop again. And again. And again. More than five hours later, he had run a full marathon in his 20-foot backyard. Campbell, a former world-class competitive javelin thrower from Cheltenham, England, had been feeling bored and restless while under lockdown due to the novel coronavirus. His Wednesday stunt was “literally the most stupid thing I could think of to do” on his 32nd birthday, he told the BBC. But thousands of people tuned in to watch him run around in circles, and by early Thursday morning, he had raised the equivalent of just over $32,000 for the United Kingdom’s National Health Service.   What's New in the 303: Lance Panigutti “We Will Need Events to Heal, But For Now Take Time to Connect in Ways We Never Have” Lance Panigutti, owner of Without Limits Productions, the producer of cycling, triathlon and cyclocross races talked about how his company is handling canceling and postponing races and how he sees the future.

Matt Llano came away from the Berlin Marathon with a lifetime personal best of 2:11:14. A time that shows the promise he's been waiting to demonstrate since he ran his precious PR, again in Berlin, four years ago. The past three years have included serious struggles. Coming back from injury and major surgery (labrum and pelvis) and working through two coaching changes can trigger doubts that can be difficult to paper over.

Truth is fluid. There is nothing to hide from or pretend to be when we are living in our truth. There are no blocks to our dreams or limits to our expression when we live from a place of truth. Truth is freedom. It means we can be in the same room as all the people in our lives and not have to worry about how to act or what to say. So many of us live from behind a mask, concerned about what others think. We can get so consumed with who we are supposed to be that we lose ourselves in the process. Truth is simplicity and it is always waiting patiently within us to be lived. For years, Matt Llan played different roles for different people at different times. He couldn't be in the same room with all the people in his life on account of the various masks he would need to wear. He was in a battle with himself and living in between his truth and the pressure of who he thought he was supposed to be. Until the day, when he broke down his biggest barrier. It was on his 21st birthday that he gave himself the greatest gift ever, truth. Matt is a professional marathoner with a half marathon PR of 1:01 and full marathon best of 2:12:28. Under the guidance of Ryan Hall, he is in pursuit of breaking the 2:10 barrier in his sport. Matt shows up every day to get the work done but like never before, he has realized that the physical is not enough. He is bravely diving deep within to uncover his best self. The Matt that he knows has already accomplished everything he dreams of. We are so grateful for the depth to which Matt was willing to go in this conversation. We hope you enjoy the show and thank you for your support of our mission to create a better world.

Matt Llano has run 1:01:47 and 2:12:28, but although he has run really fast, this podcast focuses on discussing the importance of being open and vulnerable and using that to feel more powerful as a runner and person. Matt is the perfect person to talk to about this, and you are sure to be inspired by his words. He was one of the founding members of the HOKA ONE ONE Northern Arizona Elite Team and was a taste tester for Shalane Flanagan’s cookbook (are we not all so jealous!). Matt is probably best known though as the first openly gay American professional runner. Are you ready to harness the power within you by living as your authentic self? Then this podcast interview with Matt can help you learn a path to get there and the power it can bring to your life and running. Today’s Guest Matt Llano, an American distance runner, was one of the founders of the Hoka One One Northern Arizona Elite team. He ran for the University of Richmond where he graduated with a Triple Major in Theater, Psychology and Latin American/Iberian Studies. He came out to the world as gay in 2013 and had his story featured on ESPN. He wanted to provide a role model for gay youth, and athletes of all ages and talents. What you will learn about: How Matt’s running talent was not evident until later than most, as he was a more diverse athlete as a kid and dabbled in an after school running program, tried swimming, soccer, basketball and baseball. In high school he learned that running was the thing he was passionate about even though he was not as good at it to start. How Matt strives for a sense of personal fulfillment with each workout each day. How Matt believes in being open and honest as a professional and letting people know what is going on in their lives. There is a lot of power in being vulnerable. How Matt started working with HOKA ONE ONE and how well they support him as a whole person vs just as an athlete. Everyone has a story and HOKA ONE ONE has been helpful in working with him to celebrate the diversity in sport. Matt and I discuss our experience with running in HOKA ONE ONE shoes for the first time and how we went from being skeptics to falling in love with running in them. His favorite is the Clifton as it is so versatile. How Matt was hit by a car while running in 2011 and suffered a traumatic brain injury. Matt discusses his recovery process over the next 5 to 6 months while his brain healed. He now runs with a RoadID and is hyper aware of cars and traffic now. Matt and I discuss being and living an authentic life and doing what feeds your passion not what earns you awards or money of fame. Find what allows you to have that passion as a part of your life. Another part of living your passion is raising up the others around you even if they are your competitors. Being part of a team and a unit is important. We discuss Matt’s next steps as he moves on from the northern AZ team and his desire to eventually run the Boston Marathon. Why Matt decided to work with McKirdy Trained rather than head out on his own from a coaching perspective. Inspirational Quotes: Running gave me a sense of personal fulfillment before it became a long term pursuit. Everyone has a story and has things in their lives that have brought them to where they are today, and I have found inspiration in all of the people I have come in contact with. Lifting others up does not stifle our individual effort, it enhances everyone’s success.

Join host Eric Senseman as he talks with Matt Llano about his spring training and looking forward to the Marathon Trials in 2020.

Welcome to episode 63 of the Final Surge Podcast where today we welcome back Ben Rosario the head coach of Northern Arizona Elite. Ben just had four guys run 2:13 or under and had two of his female runners crack the top 10 at the NYC Marathon. We talk about this fall and how the training went and then we spend the majority of the podcast talking about marathon specific training and his training plans that he has available on Final Surge. If you have interest in the marathon you are going to love this episode. Ben, we had you in episode 4, and people can hear your background there and we had you on again in episode 44 talking about high school summer running training. Today I want to focus on some marathon talk, sound good? Your crew at NAZ Elite has had quite a fall on the marathon course. Let me run down a few of these. I believe it was in Chicago you kicked off the season where you had Aaron Braun run a 2:13 Then in Frankfurt, you had Scott Fauble make his marathon debut, Matt Llano come back from a long injury and run a strong race and then Scott Smith set a 2 1/2 minute personal best in the Marathon. So let’s start there with the guys. Four men 2:13 or under, that is quite some depth at the marathon. Including a great debut by Fauble. How happy were you with the results? Was there a reason for Frankfurt? On the women’s side, you had both Kellyn and Steph run in NYC. And they both had top 10 finishes. Did they both decide to do NYC so they could train together? For a marathon to go well there is a lot that needs to go right. Not only on race day but also in training. So what went well that allowed you have such great finishes? You have this long list of elite athletes, but you also develop plans for non-elite runners. One example is you worked recently with Matt Fitzgerald and helped him run a PR 10 years after his best. Want to talk about that? We cannot talk about NYC without at least mentioning what Shalane Flanagan did becoming the first American women to win in 40 years. What does this mean for American running? You have proven you can certainly coach marathon runners, so let’s talk about some marathon training. On Final Surge at Finalsurge.com/nazelite you have some training plans that are available for purchase including 5 marathon plans. The 5 marathon plans are a beginner, intermediate, advanced, elite and the Eric “Big Dog” Fernandez Awesome Marathon Plan, can you tell us what the difference is between these? How does someone know which they should get? Let’s talk about little bit about that beginner plan. The plan starts at 25 miles a week and builds up to 48-50 miles. And It looks like one long run up to 20 miles. The first couple of weeks is all easy runs with a long run one day a week. A newer runner who is running their first marathon may not know what their paces should be, how would you tell them to find their easy run and long run paces? In week three you start adding workouts with a fartlek. Some people say you should wait longer into a buildup why are you adding in a fartlek here? After you start workouts, so you are getting to the end of your first month, what should a beginner marathoner’s week look like for training, how many days should they be running and how many should be workouts or long runs? Later on in the plan, you introduce in the medium-long run. How does this compare to the long run? What about races, how often do you recommend shorter races for someone training for a marathon? One of the workouts is a workout that many, who have trained for shorter races, know well, but you are using it in the marathon and that is a 12x400. What is the purpose of this workout for a marathon runner? As I mentioned earlier you hit high of about 50 miles, the week before the marathon you run 41 miles. Talk about the taper and what athletes do wrong with the taper? The marathon is a completely different beast than the shorter races when it comes to fueling. And within that I would assume there is a big difference between someone who is running a marathon in 2.5 hours vs someone who is running a marathon in 4.5 hours is that true? What about workouts, what workouts are you doing to allow them to handle the wall better are you doing carb depleted workouts? What is the difference in race-specific workouts for beginner plan vs a more advanced plan? In your log runs you seem to spice them up quite a bit with surges and adding in workouts into them?

This conversation is with Ben Rosario! Ben is the head coach for Northern Arizona Elite, which is a professional running team based out of Flagstaff, Arizona and sponsored by Hoka One One. Ben has had tremendous success in running, business, and coaching. He used to run professionally for the Hanson’s Brooks Project. Then he built up a running store from nothing to 2 million in sales. In 2014, he created the professional running team that he coaches today, NAZ Elite. This is a special episode to me because this is actually the first podcast episode I ever recorded. This conversation is the first time I sat down with someone and recorded anything longer than 10 seconds. We recorded this all the way back in early August of 2017. When we recorded this, several of his athletes were gearing up for the Frankfurt marathon. Scott Smith, Matt Llano, and Scott Fauble, who has never run a marathon, were set to compete at Frankfurt in Late October. Llano ran 2:13:42, Fauble 2:12:35, and Smith 2:12:21. Huge congratulations to all of them, especially Scott Fauble who ran the 12th fastest American debut, tied with Meb Keflezghi. If you know anything about running, you know Meb. He’s an absolute legend. This episode is also special because Ben is not a student-athlete, but the topics we discussed can be helpful to anyone wanting to be good at athletics or anything in their life. He works with some of the best athletes in the world to help them get the best out of themselves and I hope he can help you too! Thank you so much for listening! If you have the time, please leave a rating and review! It would mean the world to me!

Matt Llano, the 61-minute half marathoner and 2:12 marathoner, joins the CITIUS MAG Podcast to follow up his training partner Scott Fauble with his own insight into Frankfurt Marathon prep. Llano was sixth at last year's Olympic Marathon Trials but has racing sparingly since due to a string of injuries. Just eight months ago, Llano was in a full body cast and crutches so he tells us how he managed to come back from scratch. Llano details the severeness of the injuries and learning how to take care of his body while also craving the hardest of workouts. Llano pays tribute to David Torrence, who he was scheduled to see before the indoor 1,000m American record holder passed away unexpectedly at the age of 31.
