This episode is brought to you by Hoka. Have you run in Hoka's before, like the Clifton's, the

Carbon X? They have so many really cool shoes. I've seen some awesome new trail shoes out there.

They have great flip-flops, or like they like to call them, their slides, their gear, really cool.

I love their shorts. I love their long sleeves. And I also love what Hoka stands for.

Hoka says that their goal is to inspire people to move.

They want to empower all athletes to act fearlessly and creatively, to drive forward with purpose and passion.

I mean, who doesn't want to get behind a company that wants you to get after life, right?

They want us to find joy and movement.

Hi, I'm Olympian Kerry Tullifson and welcome to the C-Tolly Run podcast.

Today I have Alan Culpepper on the show. Alan is a two-'m Olympian Kerry Tullifson and welcome to the C-Tolly Run podcast. Today I have Alan Culpepper on the show.

Alan is a two-time Olympian, a 355 miler, a 209 marathoner. He's retired from professional running, but he's remained in this sport and in the industry for a long time. He's now the new head coach at Hoka's Northern Arizona elite team,

and he is the wife to also a two-time Olympian Shane Culpepper, and he's the dad of four boys.

So life is super busy. In this episode, we talk about his career and his recent move to Flagstaff,

Arizona. What was like watching his wife compete? What it was like being a dad

and also sitting in the stands watching your son break four minutes for the mile while still in high

school. He talks about his career and the changes that he's had in his career over the years.

We talk about coaching, obviously, the sport and how all of it is changing, his goals with

NAZ Elite, we get to the bottom of a lot of things.

He's a genuine guy and so fun to chat with.

So let's get after it.
