Summary

In today’s episode of the podcast, I have the great privilege of speaking with Joel Ibler Lillesø. Joel has lighted the track on fire since he first started running for his country Denmark. Just in this last year, Joel is the European U20 champion and has run 13:29 in the 5k. Joel is on a quest to be the greatest runner of all time.

This episode was a blast. Joel has such a great personality and that definitely shows in this episode. We go through his story, breaking records, running in America, being compared to Jakob, and his future plans. If you don’t already, make sure you follow Joel. Saying this kid is the next Jakob Ingebrigtsen is an understatement.

0:00.0	Welcome to this week's episode of the Running Effect with Dominic Schleader. I'm your host
0:07.6	Dominic. And before we get into today's impactful episode of the show, I would greatly appreciate it
0:13.4	if you liked, subscribed, shared with your friends, and most importantly gave us a five-star
0:18.2	review on Spotify. That way, people who haven't discovered the show
0:21.8	can discover the show more easily. So in today's episode of the podcast, I have the great
0:27.1	privilege of speaking with Joel Ebler-Lie Lesu. Hopefully I did not butcher that. He comes from
0:32.8	Denmark, so his name is a bit hard to pronounce for me in American, so hopefully I said that right.
0:38.7	But Joel has lighted the track on fire since he first started running for his country, Denmark.
0:43.3	Just in this last year, Joel is the European under 20 champion, which is quite remarkable.
0:48.4	And to make this even more remarkable, he's run 1329 in the 5K, which I believe is a Danish U20 record. I think the national record
0:58.0	is 1325 overall, and he ran that 1329 in super windy conditions, which makes it all the more
1:04.3	impressive. And not only is Joel on a quest to be the greatest runner ever in Denmark,
1:09.9	but he's on a quest to be the greatest runner of in Denmark, but he's on a quest to be the greatest
1:11.3	runner of all time. People compare him to Jakubrizen a lot, and he is certainly well on his way
1:17.8	to surpassing Jakubrizen, at least in my opinion, and we go into all of that in this episode.
1:23.7	So this episode was a blast. It was super, super fun to get to know Joel. His personality definitely shows in this episode.
1:30.2	We go through his story, breaking records, running in America, being compared to Jakub-Angabritzen, as I mentioned a minute ago,
1:37.5	and his future plans specifically over the next year and even into the future speaking about college and professional ranks.
1:45.8	So if you don't already, make sure to follow Joel.
1:48.3	Saying this kid is the next Yaacob Ingebritson is an understatement,
1:51.9	and he has so much personality and funness behind himself.
1:55.5	So I hope you all enjoy this super fun and casual conversation
