Summary
Today on the podcast is professional trail & track runner, Anna Gibson.
Anna has one of the most insane resumes I've ever seen.
Anna was born in Jackson, Wyoming, where she had a record-shattering prep career, winning 17 (YES SEVENTEEN) overall Wyoming state titles combining track, cross country, and Nordic skiing. She was also the valedictorian of her class with a 4.0 unweighted GPA She won the 2017 Brooks PR Invite in the Mile in 4:43.77 and placed fourth at NXN in 2016 Nike Cross Nationals. She was the 2017 Junior National Champion in the 10k Classic for Nordic skiing.
After a brief stint at Brown, Anna transferred to The University of Washington where she was a part of the NCAA Record-Run in Distance Medley Relay. She was 2023 Second Team All-America (Mile, Indoors | DMR, Indoors) and Honorable Mention (1,500m, Outdoors), 2022 All-West Region XC, 2022 Honorable Mention All-America (1,500m, Outdoors), 2022 Second Team All-America (Mile, Indoors) & the 2022 Pac-12 1,500m Bronze Medalist.
Anna now competes for Brooks Running professionally both on the trails and on the track. She placed 18th at US Olympic Trials this past summer & holds a PR of 4:08 in the 1500m. She was 10th at USAs in 2023 in 1500m.
On the trails, she placed 6th at Sierre-Zinal 2024. She holds the course record at the Rendezvous Mountain Hill Climb 2024. 3rd at Pikes Peak Ascent 2023. 4th at Mammoth Trailfest 2023. 12th overall Golden Trail World Series 2023, having raced only two out of three scoring opportunities during the season.
In today's conversation, Anna takes me through the diet of a professional runner, her astounding high school years, growing up in a small state, her growth and development in college, the impact her UW years had on her, her transition to professional runner, her ambitions for the future, and so much more!
I absolutely loved this conversation; it was such a fun conversation! Put in your airpods, lace up your shoes, and hit the pavement with Anna.
