Summary

Today on the podcast is Alex Philip!

Alex currently runs for The University of North Carolina. He graduated from John Carroll University in 2023 and was known for his exceptional achievements in running. Alex was a 7xNCAA DIII Champion and held multiple DIII National Records, including in the indoor 3,000m and 5,000m distances. He became just the fifth runner in DIII history to win back-to-back National Championships in XC. His performance helped lead the team to a back-to-back 4th place in the country podium finish. Alex was also named the 2021 & 2022 USTFCCCA Division III Men's Cross Country National Athlete of the Year. He holds PRs of 4:04 (Mile), 7:53.24 (3k), 13:44.98 (5K), and 28:48.88 (10k).

In today's episode, Alex and I discuss his start in the sport, playing ultimate frisbee during practice, going to John Caroll, getting serious about the sport, winning an unfathomable amount, setting records, transferring to UNC, and much more! Today's conversation was absolutely fantastic. Alex's story and progression are beyond inspiring, and I can't wait to see how it impacts you all.

0:00.0	Before we get into today's episode of the podcast, a quick note that today's episode is brought
0:09.2	you by 2B4.
0:10.3	2B4 is a product that I've been using for many months now.
0:13.4	It is one of my go-to pre-run rituals that I take before my run, and it is something that has
0:20.2	significantly contributed to my performance
0:22.3	within my runs and workouts and overall just made me feel better.
0:25.7	If you've never heard of two before before, it is black currents, which are anti-oxid berries
0:29.9	grown in New Zealand.
0:31.4	And studies have shown that consuming them regularly improves endurance by increasing blood flow
0:35.6	and removing lactic acid. Blackcurrants also manage
0:38.6	inflammation and kickstart muscle recovery, meaning you can hit the next training session feeling strong.
0:44.0	Guys, it's used by professional running team Tin Man Elite as well as teams in the NFL, NBA, and
