Summary

Fresh off of his first World Championships appearance is the one and only Ben Flanagan!

If you're not familiar with Ben, he has slowly cemented himself as one of the best Canadian runners of all time in his few short years of being a professional runner. He is the Canadian half-marathon record holder with a time of 61:00 and has won the prestigious Falmouth Road Race three years in a row (gaining the name "The King of Falmouth" in the process). In addition, he won the 2018 NCAA 10k title while competing for the University of Michigan. Ben is currently sponsored by On Running and is a member of VNTC based out of Ann Arbor, Michigan. He just competed in his first World Championships in the 5k in Budapest, Hungary.

In today's conversation, Ben recaps the past six months of his life and all the ups and downs that he's experienced. He goes into the chase of qualifying for his first World Champs, the race itself, what the rest of his year looks like, reflections, and much more. Any time I get to chop it up with Ben is a good time, and I hope you'll join us for this fun and insightful conversation!

0:00.0	Before we get into today's episode of the podcast, a quick note that today's episode is brought
0:09.2	you by 2B4.
0:10.3	2B4 is a product that I've been using for many months now.
0:13.4	It is one of my go-to pre-run rituals that I take before my run, and it is something that has
0:20.2	significantly contributed to my performance
0:22.3	within my runs and workouts and overall just made me feel better.
0:25.7	If you've never heard of two before before, it is black currents, which are anti-oxid berries
0:29.9	grown in New Zealand.
0:31.4	And studies have shown that consuming them regularly improves endurance by increasing blood flow
0:35.6	and removing lactic acid. Blackcurrants also manage

0:44.0	Guys, it's used by professional running team Tin Man Elite as well as teams in the NFL, NBA, and
