This is a Sandy Boy Productions podcast.

Hey everybody, welcome to all have another podcast with Lindsay Hein.

I'm your host Lindsay and I'm so grateful you're here today.

Today you are listening to episode three, fifteen and I'm talking with Lauren Piquette.

Lauren recently in January of 2020 joined Hokaaneane in a Z Elite team, but she has a big story before this point.

She ran for Baylor, graduated in 2009 and held several school records while competing there, finishing seventh place in the 1500 meters at the NCAA outdoor track and field championships.

Her senior year. She focused on the 800 in the 1500 in college and afterwards she joined a training group and then trained by herself for quite a while.

We hear all about that story and what led her to joining in a Z Elite.

She qualified for the Olympic trials in the 5,000 in 2016 and in 2018 she finished fourth at the USATF Championships in the 5,000 and ran an outdoor personal best of 848,

65 in the 3,000 at the London anniversary games since joining in a Z Elite in late August last year.

She won the Sunset Tour in the 5,000 in a new personal best time of 15, 10 and then followed that up with a 31, 53, 10,000 meters at the Hoka distance carnival.

So Lauren is racing this weekend at the Sound Running event she'll be doing the 5,000. Make sure you have her on your list of people to be watching.

I loved hearing about Lauren's journey to joining in a Z Elite and her relationship with the team and just her message in this episode that it's never too late to change something if it doesn't feel like it's working and to just go after your dreams.

Alright friends, in this episode it makes a lot of sense that it's sponsored by Picky Bars because one of the co-founders of Picky Bars is Steph Bruce, one of Lauren's teammates.

I have been so excited to partner with Picky Bars they have so much going on and their food is delicious. The best fuel for your athletic endeavors is made up of real food.

And that's what Picky Bars is made up of. Listen, they have this drizzle almond butter spread. It is so flavorful and so delicious. I can't put into words how good it is. Very passionate about it.

In a little bit goes a long way. I've been having that on my toast in the mornings and it is so, so good. My kids love it too.

So what I love about their bars is they are performance and real food bars. They have a balanced 4-1-1 ratio of carb, fat and protein for quick and sustained energy.

And now Picky Bars has performance granola, performance oatmeal, performance pancakes and again you gotta try that drizzle almond butter.
