Summary

Today's episode is one of the most touching stories we've ever told on the podcast.

Today, I have the extreme privilege of sharing the full story of Easton Allred.

If you're not familiar with Easton, he was one of the best high school runners of his era. He ran PRs of 4:05.67 (Mile) and 8:58 (2-Mile at altitude). As a sophomore in high school, he placed 22nd at NXN and returned his junior year to place fifth behind legends like Nico Young and Cole Hocker. He won back-to-back team UHSAA 6A Cross Country State Championships (2018-19). Easton then went on to compete for BYU while he battled his health struggles. He ran 13:45 in the 5k and 4:04 in the Mile during his short time competing there. As his running career progressed, Easton started to experience severe health issues such as extreme nausea, anxiety, and more. After seeing dozens of doctors, he was found to have an anatomical disorder known as MALS. The syndrome involves compression of vital arteries branching from the aorta. This compression damages the nerves, causing them to send scrambled signals to the brain, which are interpreted as intense nausea and anxiety.

Today's episode was moving beyond words, and I get emotional just thinking about all that Easton has gone through and overcome. In this episode, Easton goes through his full story and all that he has gone through and overcome. He walks me through all the ups and downs of his life, and the meaning behind it all. I can't stress this enough: take the time to listen to today's conversation. It will move you.

Lastly, please share this episode with a friend who you think will benefit from hearing Easton's story.
