The conversation explores the idea of making golf in the Olympics more interesting and engaging. The hosts discuss the possibility of including amateurs in the Olympic golf events and implementing match play formats. They suggest having a mix of professionals and amateurs representing their countries and playing different formats like stroke play and alternate shot.

Elshan was one of the top two players in Iran between 2003-2016. He moved to the US in 2012, where he participated in several US collegiate chess events, having won the Final Four in 2012 and 2015 Pan Americans with Texas Tech University’s chess team. He won the prestigious Rilton Cup in Stockholm, Sweden in 2020.  Moradiabadi co-authored two chess books: “Chess and the Art of War: Ancient Wisdom to Make You a Better Player” with Al Lawrence and "Sherlock's Method - the working tool for the club player", with his partner WGM Sabina Foisor. Eric interviewed her in episode 10.  Elshan has coached the US Junior national team, US Open national team, Iran’s Junior national team, and over 350 individuals in the past 10 years. Eric and Elshan talk about chess in Iran, his work as a coach and author and the upcoming Candidates Tournament. And why does Elshan like to wear hats?

Jon Rankin is a self-described dreamer, and his story is one that is packed with equal doses of heartbreak and inspiration. In this conversation with Kara and Chris, you will hear about how he fell in love with the sport at the age of 14 watching Michael Johnson earn double golds in the 200 and 400 in Atlanta in 1996 and promptly announced to his parents that he would be an Olympian some day. You will hear about his up-and-down high school career where he overcame a performance plateau his senior year to receive just enough attention from UCLA to make the team as a walk-on. You will hear about his breakthrough performance to win the US Junior Championship in the 1500m his freshman year only to suffer 7 stress fractures over the next 2 years pushing him to nearly quit the team. You will hear about him learning to fall in love with the sport again and how that led him to break 4 minutes in the mile and run 17 straight PRs in his final outdoor track season at UCLA, which earned him a contract to continue his dream as a professional.  You will hear about him finishing 6th at the Olympic Trials in 2008 only to find out shortly thereafter that he had a terminal kidney disease and might only have months to live. You will hear the gut-wrenching emotion in his voice as he talks about how that news ended his career, contrasted with the joy he experienced when an experimental stem cell treatment miraculously cured the disease.  And of course, you will hear about his perspective on clean sport and why he has become an advocate for it since his time on the track including why he believes that the culture must be changed by the athletes from within.  Jon is now the founder of the apparel company Go Be More, and he's made it his mission to inspire others to pursue their dreams just like he did. We appreciate him sharing his story with us. 

Connor Black and Kevin Wilson are joined by Jim Liu, the YOUNGEST U.S. Junior Amateur Champion ever.

Today we welcome professional runner Garrett Heath of the Brooks Beast Team. Garrett was a 9-time All-American at Standford before turning professional. Garrett won the 2014 and 2015 Edinburgh Cross Country short course races before beating Mo Farah in the world championships in 2016. We catch up with Garrett about what his plans are for the future and talk to him about a time he almost took out a rabbit in a race.  How did you get your start in running? Running across the gym in kindergarten and lead to stitches in forehead Was always outdoor and active growing up Middle school my father pushed me away from football so tried cross country running You ran for a great program in high school did that help keep you interested? Was exposed to high school team while in middle school There are many successful runners who came out of Minnesota and many of them seemed to spend a lot of time cross country skiing in the winter, did you do much skiing? Did almost all skiing in winter Does keep up fitness, but grow upper body mass and lose a little in the legs You had a great career at Stanford and I’ve heard in your college career your coach had some interesting ways to work on overspeed work? Used a Vespa and attacked long bungee cord on the back and around our waist and would pull you around the track  Seems crazy now, but made us run fast from 100-400 meters  When did you know that you wanted to try your hand at professional running? Didn't even realize it was a thing until I was in college Junior year started thinking how it could happen Junior year went and did a few races in Europe which exposed me to it What was it like running in Europe, how was it different? Meets are like 10-hours in college while over there it is more of a spectator event and entertainment so meets are just a few hours Really physical  Sounds like there is a model of how to make track and field a success with the public, why don't you think we do this in the US? Trying, some races do, some mile races  College meets too long Track Town did a great job with this too First time you broke 4 minutes in the mile? At U of Washington. My brother was running at the Junior Cross Country Championships at the same time in Boulder. I was super excited and at the same time my brother was running and won the US Junior race. You are now running with Danny Mackey and Brooks Beast Team, how did that connection happen? Was running with friends, but they started joining other teams so ended up doing a lot of solo time Liked the resources they had available, much like a college team Early in your career, you focused more on the 1500, then you started with some 5ks but this year you ran a good 10k at the Payton Jordan. Where do you see yourself focusing going forward? Getting more used to the longer grinding workouts/runs Still, enjoy the 1500, but I am turning into more of a 5/10k guy Still unfinished busienss in the 5k and just starting with the 10k You have had a lot of success running longer distances in cross country, how different is it racing those bad weather cross contry races vs a controlled track race? XC you need to change your efforts a lot more like a fartlek XC races go by a lot quicker, different things to think about Track try to turn off brain If money and everything were the same would you make a living on the track, roads or xc course? Cross Country Love the team aspect even on national teams You have mentioned a few times about the mental aspect of of racing, how much time do you spend working on your mental game? The mental game is huge Need to work on it in practice Being confident in training goes along with it Not sure how much you pay attention to Let’s Run, but One of the posts from January this year asked who is most jacked Chris Solinsky vs. Garrett Heath vs. Ben True. So how much do you lift and work on strength? We did not lift in college hardly at all Most of that came from cross country skiing and trying to get rid of some of that upper body weight With Brooks and I spend 45 mins 2x a week, but more minimalist lifting than others on the team One thing a lot of casual observers of our sport may not realize is when you run for a team, it is not like running for a professional football or baseball team with a huge salary. What is that relationship like with your sponsors? Spend a lot of time in Brooks office Coming out of college was blind to how it worked Talked to a lot of agents in the day right after finished NCAA The problem was it was in 2009 downturn was not any money Really tough sport because the market is limited Also, run for Roka Sunglasses Final Surge round, 5 questions in under a minute Favorite endurance/running book? - Running with the Buffaloes  Current trainers you are wearing? - Brooks Glycerin  Favorite race? – Edinburgh Cross Country  Favorite recovery meal or recovery drink? – Chocolate Chip Pancakes Your favorite workout – Long Tempos    https://www.instagram.com/garrettheath Facebook https://www.facebook.com/rungarrettrun/ Twitter https://twitter.com/_garrettheath
