Summary

Back on the podcast is the one and only Shelby Houlihan! 


For those who aren't familiar, Shelby made the US Olympic Team in 2016 and holds the American record in both the 1500 meters (3:54.99) and 5000 meters (14:23.92). She also was part of a team that set a World Record in the women's 4x1500 meters relay with a time of 16:27.02. Prior to her years as a professional with Nike's Bowerman Track Club, Shelby was a 12-time All-American at Arizona State University. 


Today's podcast with Shelby is, quite frankly, just catching up since we last talked! In this episode, Shelby takes us through her recent pursuit of getting a master's degree in Sports and Performance Psychology as well as her recent training. We also dive deep into many interesting and even philosophical questions, such as the importance of presence, the power of conversations, the biggest lessons Shelby has learned from life, treating others how you wish to be treated, surrounding yourself with positive people, and much much more! We also discuss the monotony of post-race interviews, the best BTC kit of all time, and how Miko and her new dog are doing. 


Shelby is always so full of wisdom, knowledge, and ebullience. I know you'll find deep value from listening to this conversation, and hope you enjoy it as much as we did recording it.
