Sarah Crouch Takeover What if the one thing you loved to do was taken away from you due to an illness or disease? But, what if through hard work, dedication, and months and years of pain and suffering you were able to overcome the odds and do something that very few people have been able to accomplish? That is the story of Brandon “B-Hudge” Hudgins. Brandon is a professional runner, owner of a sub four-minute mile personal record, and author of the book, Victory Over Vasculitis. Brandon’s journey from his inability to even run to his amazing accomplishment at the Sir Walter Miler in 2015 is not only incredible, but inspiring. What is Vasculitis? Vasculitis is a subset of autoimmune diseases in which the body’s immune system attacks the blood vessels by mistake. In short, Vasculitis causes your body to attack itself. Brandon said his form caused inflammation in his tissue due to hyperactive B cells believing his own tissues were foreign, thus trying to kill them. Brandon began experiencing symptoms his junior year in college, which caused him to begin to fall ill. His physical health was suffering, and he began to fall behind in many cross country and speed workouts. When doctors were finally able to diagnose him with vasculitis in 2008, a quick Google search showed that up until the late 1980’s the disease had a 90% death rate. However, due to advances in modern medicine, doctors have discovered ways to treat the disease by rebooting the immune system. Treatment, including oral chemotherapy and thousands of milligrams of prednisone, started soon thereafter. Despite these challenges, Brandon continued to run, comparing each step he took to the final 50 meters of an 800-meter race. The Road to Success is Always Uphill Each one of us will face hardships and trials in both our training and in our lives. We can choose to see these trials as a stumbling block, meant to make us fail, or view them as an opportunity meant to see how far we can push ourselves to achieve our aspirations. While the world seems to be full of suffering, it is also full of people overcoming it. The path to your success will typically never be easy. This path is made even more tumultuous when a possibly fatal disease is lurking in your body, which causes artery to inflame leading to a decrease in blood flow. As endurance athletes, blood and oxygen flow to your body is vital to your overall health and success as a runner. In 2015, seven years after Brandon’s diagnosis and a year and a half removed from treatment, he was finally feeling like his training was “clicking.” In June he ran a 3:42 1500 meter, resulting in a 2 second PR. He was not only beginning to hang with the elite runners in training, he was running with them. Brandon continued to push himself through the pain of his training and the effects of his disease with the end goal being, to run a sub four-minute mile. 2015 Sir Walter Miler On August 7, 2015, in Raleigh, North Carolina, 28-year-old Brandon Hudgins stepped on to the track, destined to do what many believed impossible up until 1954 when Roger Bannister became the first person to run a sub four-minute mile. Brandon knew he had put in the time, the speedwork, and the miles to accomplish this incredible feat. Now he just had to go out and do it! Brandon ran his first 400m at 59 seconds, followed by a 60 second 400, then another 60 second 400. As he looked at the clock coming into his last 400-meters he said he had a lot of run left in his legs and was “in the zone.” Knowing this could be his opportunity to break four minutes he became antsy but stayed patient. As he came through the backstretch into the final 200-meters he could hear his coach yelling at him to let it loose. It was on this day that Brandon won his victory over vasculitis. He finished the mile in 3:59.67. He said it was like a weight had been lifted off his shoulders. His journey to this point in his career meant so much to him. He had gone through so much and in turn put a lot of training into this moment. Victory Over Vasculitis While vasculitis is a rare disease, resulting in fewer than 200,000 cases per year, Brandon made the decision to share his story and his journey in a book he authored titled: Victory Over Vasculitis. He is bringing awareness to the disease and inspiring other athletes to overcome the awful effects of this disease. He showed the world that it is not the disease that defines you, but how you handle it. Since contracting the disease and documenting his experience, Brandon has had the opportunity to speak with other young runners who are in the early stages of vasculitis and share positive messages of hope with them. Run your race and finish strong, regardless of resistance and adversity. If you have the right mindset and stop making excuses, refusing to take no for an answer, your ability to grow and succeed will flourish.

On Episode 49, Sandy and Pat stop by the office of 2019 USTFCCA Hall of Fame inductee, Coach Rollie Geiger.

Entering the summer of 2019, 542 Americans had run a mile in less than 4 minutes.

James became only the 4th South Carolinian (and first member of the Seconds Flat family!) in this elite club. We interviewed James after the race for his perspective on the race, his training leading up to the event, and his goals moving forward. Tune in for a great conversation with the Upstate's newest sub-4 miler!

Pat Price may never break a 4-minute mile, but as one of the people who helped create and put on the annual Sir Walter Miler, he's aided a lot of other runners in accomplishing that goal (and the 4:30 barrier for females) and made it possible for a lot more fast miles to be run on North Carolina soil than ever before.This year's event is Friday, August 2nd and as usual it will feature a lot of fast runners and a lot of spectators on (not near, ON) the track for the premier events. It will also feature local running clubs, and a race you likely won't see anywhere else (but you have to listen to find out what it is...or just go their web site).Keeping with the theme we share out #Top3Raleigh running spots--with a lot of help from your nominations--and talk about Moore Square re-opening and a new way to get around downtown. (It's not scooters. They took those away from us.)

Former Colorado Buffalo and two-time national champion Ammar Moussa recently chatted with the CITIUS MAG Podcast ahead of his blue jeans mile run at the Sir Walter Miler on Aug. 4. Ammar is one of the first contributors to come on-board with the site and he's developed a new kind of relationship with running since his competitive days on the track. He was a standout at Arcadia High School in California before heading to Boulder to run under Mark Wetmore. As a Buffalo, he won two national titles and finished fifth overall at the 2015 NCAA Cross Country National Championships. He's distanced himself from running a bit and now work in Washington D.C. with Rep. John Conyers Jr. On the show, Ammar discusses his time running and training at Colorado, why anti-doping interests him as a topic to write about on the site and much more.

Citius Mag contributor and Sir Walter Miler race director Pat Price joins the show for a casual chat to discuss his field for next week's big race in Raleigh, North Carolina. A little on the Sir Walter Miler from the official website: "The Sir Walter Miler began due to lack of stateside races for American athletes. In June 2013, Sandy Roberts was coming his best collegiate season, and couldn’t find any meets, that weren’t in Europe, to continue his development. With this position, the “Sandman Mile” was created for Roberts to attempt a sub 4:00 mile with only his brother as the pacer. The event was promoted for only a few days, and would take place at the end of football practice, with the lights still on, at Cardinal Gibbons High School. Hundreds showed up and lined the track to cheer Roberts on. The next year, the Sir Walter Miler took that energy and developed it into a mile-centric event, which has only grown since." 17 sub-four minute miles have been run by men and nine sub-4:30's by women. The race has a pretty electric atmosphere that has set a tone for how a lot of races have started to operate within the U.S. Pat discusses a little bit of that history and tradition that has formed because of the race. We size up some of the elite fields and what to expect from the top stars like Craig Engels, Stephanie Garcia and many more.
