Welcome to this week's episode of the Running Effect with Dominic Schleader. I'm your host

Dominic, and in today's episode, this is a very short mini episode, but I thought it would be a really

cool idea to have Lex Young back on the podcast to hear all about his race last night, where he ran

the second fastest time ever by a U.S. high schooler

running 1343.95 in the 5K, only behind the legend Galen Rupp. We really dive deep into this race

and Lex's thoughts on the race when it got tough in the race and other thoughts like his

mindset going into it, what he thought he could run how

special it was to see his teammate Colin and his older brother Nico run so well at this same

meet his future plans going forward and so so much more really not too big of an

introduction going into this one it's basically just a 10-minute deep dive into Lex's

incredible and earth-shattering race last night.

So I hope you enjoy this one as much as I did.

But with that being said, here's my amazing conversation with The Man, the Myth, the Legend,

and now the second fastest high schooler

of all time in the U.S. and the 5K, Lex Young.

Lex, welcome back to the Running Effect podcast.

It's the first time I've had someone on the show two times in one week, but it's a pleasure

to have you back on the show. So welcome, Lex.

Thank you. Thank you for having me. I'm excited to be on. People who are listening to this,

I'm sure know that you ran 1343 last night, which put you at the number two all-time high school
