Summary

After a year of getting requests to get this man on the podcast... THE COLIN SAHLMAN SPECIAL becomes reality.

Colin Sahlman was undoubtedly one of the greatest high school runners of all time. Colin held PRs of 50.26 (400m), 1:48.07 (800m), 3:39.59 (1500m), 3:56.24 (Mile), 8:33.32 (3200m), and 14:03.29 (5k XC).

Colin now competes for Northern Arizona University (aka NAU), where he has contributed to the team immensely and helped them to win their sixth NCAA team championship in seven years this past Fall. Colin looks to do big things on the track this upcoming spring and beyond.

This conversation with Colin was nothing short of inspiring. In this conversation, we go through his career as a whole and the different elements and experiences that have shaped him into the athlete he is today. Prepare to be impacted by Colin's unwavering dedication, resilience, and the humility he exudes.

0:06.6	Shaleder. I'm your host Dominic, and before we hop into today's episode, many of you listening
0:11.6	right now, in fact, potentially a majority of you guys listening right now have not given us a five-star
0:16.5	review and follow the podcast on Spotify or Apple Podcasts. Doing this greatly helps us, and because you're
0:22.5	already listening, it will legitimately take between five and ten seconds of your time, and you're
0:27.2	already listening to the podcast. So I'd greatly appreciate you hitting the follow button and giving
0:31.3	us a five-star review if you have not done so already. And then something everyone can do listening
0:35.9	right now is share the show with a friend,
0:42.5	a family member, a teammate, a sibling. Sharing the show with a friend is the easiest way in which we can grow. And hopefully through growing, we can inspire and impact people in the process.

1:36.0	Colin is looking to do some incredible things on the track this spring.
1:39.8	He recently ran 338 in the 1500, I want to say, and I can't wait to see what he does this season.
