Summary

We’re taking the next couple weeks off to recharge so we’re re-running one of my favorite episodes from the early days of the podcast, a conversation I had in May of 2018 with Aliphine Tuliamuk. It was episode 15, I am fairly certain it was Aliphine’s first podcast, and at the time not many people knew her story despite the fact that she was nine-time national champion! Since then she’s added another national championship to her resume—the 2020 U.S. Olympic Trials title—and now she’s a household name in American distance running. This is a great episode to revisit if you listened to it a few years ago and certainly one to check out if you didn’t. You’ll learn all about Aliphine’s upbringing in Kenya, how she got into running, what it was like coming to the United States and assimilating to a new country and culture, how she deals with pressure, and a lot more. (You might also want to listen in to episode 102 with Aliphine, which we recorded shortly after she won the Olympic Trials in Atlanta.)

0:00.0	The only thing that I think about now whenever, you know, I'm dealing with pressure, you know,
0:12.0	like from racing and stuff is that I just tell myself that this is an opportunity of a
0:16.7	lifetime when I was growing up or when I started running.

0:27.6	Like, I have an opportunity that not a lot of people have, like even the people that
0:32.5	I have in my role models when I was in Kenya, they don't have the opportunities that I
0:36.2	have here and so when I have that pressure I just tell myself that I am in a better place

0:48.9	enjoy the process.
