Welcome to this week's episode of the running effect with Dominic Schleader. I'm your host,

Dominic, and I'm so happy you have clicked on this episode because this one is a really special one.

I speak with the one and only Shelby Hulahan. Yep, that's right. The American record holder in the

1500 and in most notably the 5K where she ran 1423. But Shelby, she hasn't always had the smoothest of times. She was actually born with a rare blood

career all the way up to present day crushing these amazing feats. And Shelby truly has the

mindset of a champion, not only in running,

but in everyday life. We go through a lot of the principles she's learned along the way

throughout her life in running and how those have shaped her and what lessons she's learned from

those. Um, there's certainly so much to take away from this episode, and I hope you

enjoy this as much as I did. Special thanks to Shelby for hopping on the podcast and being very

generous with her time. I really appreciate it, so thank you so much, Shelby. And we look forward to

seeing her absolutely destroy Tokyo, hopefully bring back gold and have a celebratory pizza,

dessert for dessert. And if you didn't get that, you'll have to listen to the episode because

we go into all of that. But again, I really enjoyed this episode, and I hope you do as well.

conversation with Shelby Houlehan, who has the mindset of a champion.

Shelby, how are you doing on this fine afternoon?

I'm doing great. How are you? I'm doing pretty, pretty well. So,

I like to start out every podcast episode with some fun warm-up questions, because with everything

in life, you can't just jump right into it. You have to start out with some fun. And of course,

Shelby, you are one of the more fun members on the
