Summary

In honor of Father’s Day this month, we’re bringing on one totally hands-on dad, none other than Ryan Hall. Yes the Ryan Hall, as in the current American record holder in the half-marathon. Since retiring from running in 2016, Ryan has become quite the uber-dad and husband, supporting his wife, pro runner Sara Hall, and their four daughters, whom they adopted from Ethiopia in 2015. In this podcast, you’ll hear Ryan share about:

Why he doesn’t force running on his kids
The various hats he wears as Sara’s coach-slash-husband
His emotional journey to fatherhood and creating a chosen family
His big goals for the future (hint: it involves a mountain and a rowing machine!
