0:00.0	Hey, everybody. I'm Olympian Kerry Tallopsin and welcome to the C-Taly Run podcast.
0:10.7	This week on C-Talai Run, we are bringing you a new world cross-country champion.
0:15.5	She's also a three-time world bronze medalist, a 2024 Olympic silver medalist.
0:20.2	And she also ran in the 2021 Olympics,
0:23.2	where she placed 11th. She's a world record holder in the 2K on the track. She's the fifth
0:28.6	fastest 1,500 meter runner ever. She's run 350. She's a two-time individual NCAA champ and
0:34.7	also a two-time NCAA relay champ, and there's just so much more to learn about Jess Hull. Jess is Australian. She runs for Nike. She was an Oregon duck. And she's a woman that seems to be able to do it all. So let's get into it. And let's get after it. Hey, Jess. Thanks for coming on. See, Tali, Ron. I'm so excited to chat with you. It was an honor to watch you guys race last weekend. So we have to talk all kinds of things, but especially world cross country. So tell us how it feels to be a world champion.
1:06.2	Oh, it's pretty special. Thanks for having me on to celebrate. So I think for all of us, it was just
1:11.4	something that kind of came together and we thought, hey, we have a shot at gold year. And then you

1:21.2	And yeah, hopefully it just becomes a habit for a few of us now.
1:25.5	I'd say, I mean, you know, you have done so well, Jess. Like, so many of us remember you
1:31.0	when you were at the University of Oregon, and we'll get into that a little bit. But it just seems like
1:35.7	you've always been so good. But the last like five years, it just seems like every time you
1:42.9	tow the line, something big's going to happen. And it's
1:46.5	been so much fun to watch. Like now this is the first time you've worn gold around your neck for a
1:52.1	world. What does that like mean to you? And I know you have your team there, but it must be like,
1:57.8	huh, I finally got one. Yeah, I appreciate that.
2:01.2	I think that what you're sort of seeing now is the result of really great coaches as a junior
2:06.0	and through college that left me room to grow.
2:08.8	And it took me a few years to put all the pieces together.
2:11.5	But definitely over the last 18 months to two years, it's really starting to blossom into
