| 0:00.0 | Hey everyone, Emily, a body here. You are listening to an installment of Five Minute Friday |
| 0:22.8 | from Hurtle. My last thing that I'm doing out here in Eugene, Oregon, before flying home is |
| 0:31.2 | recording this episode. This has been such a crazy week of just inspiring stuff in my mind. |
| 0:39.0 | And this is such a maybe nerdy thing to say. There is no better feeling, nothing more exciting than |
| 0:46.0 | watching people chase after their own potential. So being able to go every day for the last five days |
| 0:54.0 | to Hayward Field and see these athletes do unbelievable stuff here at the World Championships. |

| 2:10.5 | about progression and what goes into making progress. This is the first marathon training cycle. |
| 2:20.5 | I'm I'm training right now for the London marathon. And this is the first time for a marathon |
| 2:24.0 | that I've been working with a coach one-on-one. And in my training plan, I have progression runs. |
| 2:33.4 | And the point of a progression run is that you start it at one pace and you finish it at a faster |
| 2:39.3 | pace. And as the run progresses, you're continuously getting a little faster with each mile. And so |
