Summary

Today on the podcast is your 2023 USATF Steeplechase Champion, Krusty Gear!

Krissy runs for HOKA NAZ Elite. Originally from Fort Myers, Florida, she was a six-time state champion in track. She began her college career at Furman University. Later, she transferred to the University of Arkansas, where she won an SEC title in the DMR and was a part of the NCAA championship team in the distance medley relay. Krissy's professional career took off when she joined HOKA NAZ Elite in 2022, contributing to the team's third-place finish at the USATF Club Cross Country Championships. In the 2023 indoor track season, she achieved multiple wins and personal bests in various events, including the 800 meters and mile. The season culminated with a third-place finish in the 1500 meters at the USATF Indoor Championships. Her outdoor season has been one for the record books with victories in the steeplechase at the ON Track Fest and the BAA Invitational Mile. Most notable of all, Krissy won the steeplechase at the 2023 USATF Outdoor Track and Field Championships, securing her first national title and a spot in the World Championships. With her dedication, talent, remarkable achievements, and kind heart, Krissy has become an inspiring figure in the world of track and field.

In today's conversation, Krissy and I dive into a plethora of topics including phone service in Europe, belief, having fun with the sport, working on detachment from outcome, the whole journey of winning a US title, and much more. Being able to see what Krissy has done is nothing short of impactful, and this conversation was such an awesome opportunity to learn from her.

0:00.0	Hello, my friends, and welcome back to another episode of the Running Effect podcast with
0:05.5	Dominic Schleader. I'm your host, Dominic, and I have a few notes for you before we get into today's
0:10.7	episode with Chrissy Gear. The first note is that I have the privilege of speaking with Chrissy
0:15.3	gear on the podcast today. She recently won the U.S. championship title in the woman's steeplechase. She's like a rookie, so this was
0:23.6	absolutely remarkable. I think she's set an 11-second PR or something like that in the process,
0:29.0	and she truly is on the path to greatness and has had such a storied career. She runs for Hoka's
0:35.6	Northern Arizona Elite, and it is so exciting to see all the
0:39.4	incredible things she's accomplished and kind of dive into those in today's conversation. I thoroughly
0:44.5	enjoyed talking with Chrissy. She's so much fun. She always brings a lot of fun energy and always
0:49.3	brings a level of depth and wisdom to her story and just her journey and talking about those different points.
0:56.0	Second note for you guys, I would greatly appreciate it if you guys give us a follow, a five-star
0:59.8	review, and share with a friend. And then a third note, please give us a follow on Instagram.
1:04.3	If you have not done so already, I know a lot of you guys just listen to the podcast,
1:08.3	but it's actually quite fun, some of the stuff we do on Instagram from creating fun clips from these episodes and putting them out there as
1:14.6	Instagram reels or just posting on my story and showing you guys behind the scenes of how
1:19.2	all of this works. I'd appreciate you guys giving me a follow on Instagram at the running
1:24.0	effect. Another note about Instagram is if you guys enjoyed today's episode or
1:28.8	have enjoyed any of the episodes in the past, consider sharing it to your story so that your
1:33.5	community can discover the show. I always enjoy seeing where you guys listen to it, whether it's
1:38.5	on a run, a walk, or while doing chores. And again, your community can then find the podcast
1:42.7	and hopefully through that we can inspire them.
1:45.3	With all those notes aside, I appreciate you guys and I hope you find value for my conversation
