Summary

Today on the podcast is newly minted Olympian James Corrigan!

James has had quite the wild past few months going from 9th at the NCAA Meet to placing third at the US Olympic Trials. Because James didn't have the Olympic standard or enough world ranking points, he had less than a week to chase the Olympic Standard time. James flew out to Penn and got the job done, qualifying for his first Olympic Games in Paris.

James has run 4:01 in the Mile (at altitude), 8:13 in the steeplechase, 13:30 in the 5k, and was an All-American in his first NCAA Cross Country Championships.

James will be a junior this upcoming fall at BYU.

In today's conversation, James takes me through his wild last month, from making the Olympics to getting married and everything in between. We break down his remarkable performance at the US Olympic Trials and document what it took to get to that place.

0:00.0	Before we hop into today's episode of the podcast, I want to briefly tell you guys about a supplement that I've been taking for over a year.
0:09.1	The company's name is two before. I bet you've heard about it on the podcast before.
0:13.2	There are so many supplements and things out there, and I honestly don't believe in like 99% of them.
0:19.5	And so I was skeptical myself when I first heard about this product.
0:22.9	But the more I looked into it, the more I started to believe.
0:26.2	And then when I first tried it and consistently used it, I realized the power of black currents.
0:30.9	If you don't know about black currents, they're antioxidant berries grown in New Zealand.
0:35.0	And the studies I'm referencing have shown that consuming them
0:38.0	regularly improves endurance by increasing blood flow and removing lactic acid. There was one study

1:22.3	this get you 30% off, but also free shipping. And as always, my DMs are always open if you have any questions.
1:28.2	But the fact that I've worked with this company for over a year now, hopefully shows you that
1:32.3	I believe in it. So without for their due, let's get into today's episode.
