Countryside's 1986 team was loaded: It had Roger Letchworth and Chip Backus, both major Division I college prospects, along with a bevy of talented runners just behind them. This is the story of the Cougars' unforgettable trip to an iconic course in New York, the site of a big invitational. It was, briefly, record-setting, and now it's time to set the record straight.

In the 17th and 18th century, the landowners of some of the mansions still standing in The Bronx were built by enslaved people. In this episode Olga Luz is joined by Laura Carpenter-Myers, director of the Van Cortlandt House Museum to pay tribute to some of those people by name. The Enslaved People’s Project is an initiative of the Van Cortlandt House Museum, the Van Cortlandt Park Alliance, the Kingsbridge Historical Society, a Kingsbridge/Riverdale community coalition, and Manhattan College students.

The Bronx holds no greater surprise than the exquisite Van Cortlandt House Museum. Its wide berth makes the estate a standout of bold beauty in the NYC borough. History lives behind this gate on a fresh green lawn. It’s an elegant estate – like a cake topper for the big city below. The Van Cortlandts ran a profitable wheat plantation. They built barns, mills, and a dam that would turn a tiny brook into a lake. Enslaved household members did all this work for the Van Cortlandt family. In fact, the estate’s original owner, Jacobus, never even lived on this land. It was pure investment for him. But Van Cortlandt House became a true home for many of his descendants. One such family member, Augustus, played a crucial role in New York history. Learn more with a visit to LadyKflo.com at this link: https://www.ladykflo.com/van-cortlandt-house/

THE SCENE: The Bronx, 1970s THE STORY: Two champion runners, one with the soul of a miler, the other with gold-medal Olympic marathon dreams. Ken Rolston and Ernie Rivas ran in the same circles but for many years their paths did not cross. Finally they met through a mutual friend who was also the captain of the Lehman College cross country team. Their mutual admiration and competitive natures ignited a friendly rivalry that pushed the other to greater achievements. This is the story of competitive racing during a bygone era. It is also the story of a lifelong friendship born from a mutual love of running and a drive to dream big! PART I:Ken Rolston was inducted into the Lehman College Track and Cross Country Hall of Fame in 1999. He holds the college record for the mile with a time of 4:21. Born and raised in the Bronx, NY, Ken’s first competitive race took place at the track in Van Cortlandt Park. Little did he know that he would return to Van Cortlandt to coach the Van Cortlandt Track Club for twenty years. Ken’s personal record in the marathon is 2:26:50. Ernie Rivas was inducted into the Lehman College Track and Cross Country Hall of Fame in 2003. Ernie has run fifteen sub-2:30 marathons and 15 marathons between 2:30 and 2:37. His personal best in the marathon is 2:21:16. Ernie currently coaches competitive and elite runners. This is a captivating story of two accomplished runners who have taken different training approaches to reach the pinnacle of their running careers. 

"Watching from an athlete perspective, where all of a sudden he gets it, or she gets it, and you see that just click, and then it's game time, I think that's the biggest thing I get from an athlete. All these things you see as a coach, like 'this athlete should be able to do this, or should be able hit these times, or do this performance,' but it's all nothing because it's just you and me talking here and we know the science of it, and the method, but the athlete is the one who has to believe in it and believe in themselves. It doesn't matter how much you tell them how great they are, or whatever, until they get it. And watching that process happen, and how it happens differently with each athlete, is probably the most exciting part of coaching.” Really enjoyed sitting down with Terrence Mahon for this week's episode of the podcast. Mahon, one of the best middle and long distance running coaches in the world, is currently the director and coach of the Mission Athletics Club in San Diego, which he co-founded last year with his wife, three-time Olympian Jen Rhines. Mahon was previously the coach of the BAA High Performance team in Boston, he was the distance coach for U.K. Athletics before that, and he was also the coach of Team Running USA/the Mammoth Track Club from 2004 to 2013, where he guided Deena Kastor to an American record of 2:19:36 in the marathon, Ryan Hall to his 59:43 AR in the half marathon, and developed eight Olympians during his tenure. This was one of my favorite conversations. We talked about Mahon's career as both an athlete and a coach. I learned more about Mission Athletics Club and what his objectives are with his new group. We discussed the trajectory of his coaching career, from his humble beginnings working with age-group runners at a running shop in Pennsylvania to becoming one of the most highly sought after coaches in the world. He also told me about his coaching influences and mentors, including the legendary Joe Vigil, Dan Pfaff, and others. We got into the weeds of Mahon's coaching philosophy and there are a ton of great takeaways: like the importance of really getting to know your athletes, being brutally honest with them, and being adaptable when it comes to setting goals. We talked about what he sees as his main responsibilities as a coach, how he keeps sharp and stays excited about the craft, what he learns from the athletes he works with, the idea of "coaching mastery" and what that means to him, and a heck of a lot more.

"A lot of us endurance athletes are obsessive and one of the things that makes us good is that we're able to focus on the very small details of our craft and spend a lot of time concentrating on improving those things. On the flip side, it's pretty easy to get too bogged down in the weeds and we can have a hard time stepping back and really seeing the big picture of progression, which is something that happens over a long period of time—not something that we can expect to happen in a matter of weeks or months or even like a year or two, and I think that's something that I've got into a little bit of trouble with in the past." I had a great time talking to Chelsea Sodaro for this week's episode of the podcast. Many of you may remember Sodaro by her maiden name, Chelsea Reilly, who national titles in the road 10K and indoor 3000m in 2012 and 2013, respectively. The 29-year-old Sodaro was one of the top distance runners in the U.S. not that long ago, with personal bests on the track ranging from 4:08 in the 1500m to 15:10 in the 5K. She's turned her attention to triathlon in the last few years and is quickly rising through the pro ranks, having won her first ITU World Cup race last June and finishing 2018 atop the podium at Ironman 70.3 Indian Wells-La Quinta in December. We covered a lot in this conversation: how Chelsea got into running, where she gets her competitive drive from, how she's dealt with injury throughout her career, the special relationship she has with Olympian Magdalena Boulet, transitioning to triathlon less than three years ago, why she felt so alone and empty immediately after winning her first triathlon last year, the advice she'd give her younger self, and a lot more.

"They were doing 10-mile long runs by that time and I dropped them. And they were like, 'Oh, this kid is tough!' I was coming and going on rolling hills and my coach was like, 'Hmm, you ran the last mile in 4:55.' I didn't even know what that meant—4:55 a mile? I just ran. I used to clock [time] in kilometers, so I thought it was a kilometer, and I was like, 'That's slow.' But it was miles. A few months later I came back and ran my first indoor [race] and they were like, 'You can run!' and I was like, 'OK.' That's the moment I fell in love with the sport and I ended up quitting the soccer thing and just focused on running." Excited to share a recent conversation I had with Edward Cheserek on this week's episode of the podcast. King Ches, as he's known throughout the running world, recently tied the IAAF world record for the road 5K at Carlsbad 5000, breaking the tape in 13 minutes and 29 seconds. I was fortunate enough to sit down with the 25-year-old Kenyan for half an hour a couple days before the race to learn a little more about his life, his upbringing in Kenya, moving to the U.S. as a high schooler 10 years ago, his record-setting collegiate career at the University of Oregon where he won 17 NCAA titles, what it would mean for him to gain his U.S. citizenship and represent this country in an international championship, where his competitiveness comes from, and a lot more.

"I always found myself working very hard to try and be the best at those little things but also enjoy what I was doing. This was evident at a very early age—I wanted to be competitive at something but I wanted to enjoy it while I was doing it. I don't think I gain most of my enjoyment from the competitive side of it and from the racing or the competing. It was more from the just being present there and enjoying seeing other people enjoy what we're doing and enjoying it with them." Excited to share a recent conversation I had with a guy many of you outside the Bay Area running scene may not have heard of yet: His name is Paddy O'Leary, he's an Irish lad living in San Francisco, and he's a North Face-sponsored trail and ultra runner who has risen through the ranks of the sport in just a few short years. He's also got a fast set of wheels, having run a big personal best of 2:20 and change in the marathon last fall at CIM, a race he ran on somewhat of a whim after The North Face Endurance Challenge Championships got cancelled due to the California Wildfires. O'Leary's a friend and sometimes training partner of mine and he's got an incredible story—not to mention a beautiful Irish brogue—that I'm excited to share with you in this episode. Before he got into running about five years ago, O'Leary played on the Irish national lacrosse team from 2007-2014, captaining the squad to its first European Lacrosse Championship final in 2012. He's also been a cancer biologist at UCSF since 2013, was the co-leader of the November Project in San Francisco from 2014-2018, and has a love of traveling, community, sport, and, of course a good Guinness. On Saturday, April 13, O'Leary will attempt the Wicklow Round in his native Ireland, a self-supported long-distance run which involves summiting 26 peaks with over 20,000 feet of climbing over 70 miles with no GPS—just a compass, a map, and his own questionable senses. This is a long one but it was an enjoyable exchange that covers a wide range of topics, from O'Leary's upbringing in County Wexford, Ireland, why he came to the U.S. to do his postdoctoral research, how he got into trail and ultrarunning, what he'd like to do in running over the next couple years, and much, much more. I really think you'll take a lot away from it, so settle in and enjoy my discussion with Paddy O'Leary. This episode is brought to you by Tracksmith.

"A lot of the folks I interact with now, whether it's a newly post-collegiate athlete who's still got goals that they want to achieve, or a middle-aged athlete who has a general fitness goal they want to achieve, or they'd like go for that Boston qualifier, whatever it is, most of these goals are achievable if you stick with it and keep building the tower—I call it 'the Jenga tower.' My outlook on coaching, generally, is: Let's build the tower and we'll eventually get there. Sometimes you do have artificial timelines, but if you can avoid them that's better, and just concentrate on building on what you have done and not worrying about what you aren't. So I try to think inductively about coaching and I think that's partly due to some of these experiences—let's assume we're going to get there. It's just a question of 'how' and not 'if.'" Really enjoyed sitting down with Dena Evans for this week's episode of the podcast. Evans is currently the coordinator and coach of the Peninsula Distance Club, a competitive post-collegiate team based in Palo Alto, California that she founded in 2007. Evans also coached at Stanford from 1999-2005, and in 2003 was named the NCAA Women's Cross Country Coach of the year after leading the Cardinal to the national title. A few of her athletes during those years are some names you might recognize, like Lauren Fleshman, Sara Hall, Alicia Vargo, Malindi Elmore, and others. She's also been on the coaching staff for Team USA at multiple world championships. In addition to her coaching accolades, Evans was a standout athlete at Stanford from 1992-96, where she was a three-time All American in track and also star player on the soccer team. We covered a lot of different topics in this conversation, from getting into multiple sports at a young age to her thoughts on specialization, her career at Stanford and how she juggled being a two-sport athlete, her relationship with coach Vin Lananna and how he influenced her as both an athlete and a coach, how she got into coaching and what she's learned working with different levels of athletes over the past 20 years, what's exciting her—and what she would change—about the sport of running right now, and a lot more.
