Run podcast. Today I have the honor of interviewing Edwin Kurga.

Edwin is the 2019 NCAA cross-country champion and a 10-time All-American for Iowa State.

In this episode, we hear all about how he grew up in Kenya, his time at Iowa State, being in his first professional season as a distance runner.

We also hear about the difference of being

an individual athlete versus being on a team like field hockey, winning all of his races in 2022,

trying to get a sponsor, being an engineer, coaching, goals going forward. We cover quite a bit.

So let's get after it.

All right, Edwin, I am super excited to have you on the show. I've loved watching you in college and now you're starting to run as a professional. So thanks for coming on the show.

Thank you very much for having me out here. It's just nice to, you know, chat and talk about myself.

Yeah, you know, you are coming off of a pretty big race that you just had in Austin. And, I mean, you looked pretty solid. This was one of your first races out of an Iowa state uniform.

Yeah, so it's since outdoor last year.
