Summary

Today on the podcast is the one and only Sam McDonnell.

She holds PRs of 2:08 (800m), 4:38 (Mile) 10:12 (3200m), 16:43 (XC). She was an All-American for cross country my senior year of high school and was a part of the 4x1600 National Record Squad. Sam then went on to Alabama her freshman year before transferring to UCLA and ultimately ending up at The University of Oregon, where she currently resides.

In today's conversation, Sam goes through her running journey, running for Newbury Park & Sean Brosnan, her years in the NCAA and the transfer process, being coached by Shalane Flanagan, her goals in the NCAA, and her thoughts on Connor Burns & Simeon Birnbaum.

This discussion is both light + insightful: the perfect combo for a great podcast.

0:00.0	Before we hop into today's episode of the podcast, I want to tell you guys about someone I've been partnering with over the past few months.
0:10.1	The name of the company is Toib4, and if you guys are looking to take your training to the next level,
0:15.0	2B4 is the right product for you.
0:17.0	2B4 is blackcurrant powder, and black currants are antioxidant berries grown in New Zealand.
0:21.8	Studies have shown that consuming them regularly improves endurance by increasing blood flow and removing lactic acid.
0:27.4	It's used by professional running team Tinman Elite as well as teams in the NFL, NBA, and the NCAA.
0:33.1	There was one study that showed that using 2B4 consistently can improve your athletic performance by 4.6%.

0:43.8	quality training this winter. 2B4 is going to become a staple pre-run, pre-workout. I absolutely
0:50.3	love this stuff. I've worked with 2B4 for a long time. For this reason, it's become a staple in my daily training and life routine. Because of that, you guys can get

1:28.0	release a new episode every other day, sometimes more. We released an episode yesterday and this one's
1:33.3	coming out today. So two in two days. So the easiest thing you guys can do to support my work for
1:38.4	completely free is giving us a five-star review and a follow on Spotify or Apple Podcasts. The majority
1:43.6	of you guys listening
1:44.4	right now have not done those two things and it greatly helps us out. Today on the podcast is Sam
