Summary

“It was very nerve-wracking…You just have to be attentive to everything that’s happening & thinking how can I put myself in the best position to kick for this team”

Hear from Olympian and On Athletics Club star Joe Klecker the morning after he won the USATF 10,000 meter championship race in 28:28.71 over American record holder Grant Fisher. With the victory, Klecker has secured his spot on Team USA for the World Athletics Championships in Eugene, Oregon this July. This is his second U.S. national team after qualifying for last year's Tokyo Olympics and finishing 16th at the Games in the 10,000 meters.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Sidious Mac Podcast. I am your host, Chris Chavez. The Sidious Mac Podcast is
0:07.5	presented by Garmin. I am very thrilled to finally partner with a brand that I've been using
0:12.4	for the past six years. I don't know about you, but when I'm running solo or working out,
0:16.4	I get the best out of myself with some fire playlists. There's just something about moving to the
0:21.2	rhythm of my favorite beats that gets me through even the toughest of workouts. That's exactly
0:26.5	why I love my Garmin 4Runner 245 music. It's not your average GPS smartwatch. With music storage
0:32.6	right on my wrist, I can only see say it takes wearables to the next level. I sync up my best
0:37.5	Spotify playlist and I hammer out some miles. I've even put that Spotify playlist up for you guys
0:41.9	to check out. If you think the benefit stop at just music, you'd be wrong. I was surprised at all
0:47.2	the different features packed inside such a small lightweight watch. I mean, have you ever wondered
0:51.6	whether you're actually killing your training and overdoing it? Well, you get your answers with
0:55.7	the training load feature and there's built-in sports apps that monitor your recovery time,
1:00.2	the body battery, energy monitor, and so much more. I've got all the tools I need to push
1:05.3	that extra mile. Do you know what's really music to my ears though? My 4Runner 245 watch lasts
1:10.9	up to six hours in GPS mode even when the songs are playing. Basically, I can run longer without
1:16.2	worrying about the battery died. Even if it's in smartwatch mode, guess how long it lasts? Up to seven
1:23.0	days. Seriously, I fall asleep with this thing without plugging in because I know it'll be ready to
1:26.6	go when I wake up in the morning. All of this is to say I couldn't ask for better on-risk
1:31.6	companion. So take a look down at your wrist right now. Maybe you've had that thing for a while.
1:36.4	It's time to treat yourself. UpgradeToday. Visit Garmin.com and listeners, I've got an update for you.
1:42.2	Garmin has launched its summer sale. The 4Runner 245 music is now $75 off. They're also running
1:48.0	sales on the 4Runner 945 and 455. So check those out today at Garmin.com.
