Summary
Brock is back baby.
Digital creator and collegiate distance runner Brock Kelly returns to the podcast for round three today to discuss all things running and life.
Brock is a senior at Mississippi College, has a popular YouTube page, and is a budding entrepreneur. Through three-plus seasons he has compiled the following PRs: 1:55.03 in the 800m; 3:51.00 in the 1500m; 4:11.19 in the mile; 14:49.20 in the 5k; and 32:00.55 in the 10k.
In high school, Brock was a state champion in the 3,200m; two-time state champ in the 1,600m; three-time state champ in the 800m; and Cross Country state champion in 2018 and 2019.
Brock is best known for his YouTube channel (which currently boasts 19,700 subscribers) where he documents his NCAA journey; his “The Daily Mile” series is particularly popular.
In addition to his video content, Brock created the OE Athletics Club during his junior year. The brand’s motto, “Intentions Over Everything,” focuses on intentionality in athletics and how it can help build strong morals that lead to success.
Brock kicked off the 2025 indoor season at the Samford Indoor Open (in Birmingham, Alabama) on January 18 with a second-place finish in the mile with a time of 4:13.41. Prior to that he had two first-place finishes at the Birmingham Indoor Icebreaker on December 6, 2024: one as an individual with a 4:17.39 mile; and the other as a member of the Distance Medley Relay team, which ran a 10:35.26.
In today’s conversation, Brock and I discuss the third season of The Daily Mile, his creative process and inspiration these days, an in-depth look at his training, what he wants his legacy to be, and much more.
I love Brock’s energy and our conversations are always insightful and a blessing! Don’t miss this one.

| 0:00.0 | If your heart is in a place where you're trying to compete and just impress other people, |
| 0:04.8 | and you're trying to impress coaches and that's what your main goal is, |
| 0:08.4 | then that's not necessarily the right intentions. |
| 0:11.8 | And I think if you set the intentions of, like, I want to be the best that I can be, |
| 0:16.4 | I want to push myself to the physical limits, |
| 0:18.1 | I want to put myself in position to achieve success |
| 0:21.8 | in the long term, whatever that may be, and you put yourself in a position to push yourself |
| 0:27.5 | to the absolute max, whatever that is in your life, then that's setting those intentions |
| 0:34.2 | in the right place. And I think it's just following through on what you said you were going to do in the first place as well. |
| 0:42.3 | That was Brock Kelly today on the Running Effect podcast, and I'm your host, Dominic Schleeder. |

| 0:54.8 | I think I've owned four or five of their watches and they are the premier leader in GPS running watches. |
| 1:00.8 | I currently use and rock with the Garmin four runner 265. |
| 1:05.3 | This watch has blown me away. |
| 1:07.3 | Very simply put, having music on your wrist, putting in your AirPods, and going for a run with |
| 1:13.3 | your favorite tunes or your favorite podcast without having to bring your phone is a game |
| 1:17.1 | changer. On the more technical side of things, the advanced training metrics and recovery |
| 1:21.7 | insights have been a game changer, most accurate sleep monitor I've ever used. And then through the |
| 1:26.4 | Garmin Connect app, you can really |
| 1:27.7 | dive deep into your training. And through that, you can make calculated decisions on how to train |
