Summary

Today on the podcast is Sam Prakel!

Sam holds PRs of 13:15.96 (5k), 7:41.17 (3k), 3:50.94 (Mile), 3:34.63 (1500m), and 1:46.39 (800m).

Sam is a 4xUS Champion, the 2023 World Road Running Championship Bronze Medalist in the Mile, has made 6 consecutive USA 1500m finals, has had 9 consecutive years of sub 4:00 in the Mile, while at Oregon, he was the PAC-12 Champion in the 1500m, 5x NCAA All-American, and 2x Academic All-American.

Sam might just be the most consistent US miler over the past few years. His consistency is truly out of this world and a testament to his dedication and discipline to the sport over many years.

In today's conversation, Sam takes me through his years growing up in Ohio, the influence his older sister had on his running, his records in middle school / high school, running for Oregon, his years as a professional runner, and much more!

0:00.0	Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to another episode of the Running Effect podcast with Dominic Schleeder.
0:06.5	I'm your host, Dominic, and today on the podcast, I am joined by Ohio legend Sam Crakel.
0:12.1	Sam holds PRs of 350 in the mile, 334 in the 1500 meters, 146.39 in the 800, 741 in the 3K, and 1315 in the 5K. He's a four-time U.S.
0:23.5	champion, the 2003 World Road Running Championship bronze medalist in the mile. He's made six
0:29.0	consecutive U.S. 1,500-meter finals, nine consecutive years, sub four in the mile. He's the
0:34.2	Pact 12 champion in the 1500, I believe in 2018, a five-time All-American
0:38.7	and the two-time academic All-American. Bottom line, Sam is incredibly accomplished, and he's
0:44.5	from my state of Ohio, so I thought I'd have him on the podcast to discuss his journey and
0:49.3	support all that he's done to make it to this point and his ambitions for 2024. I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation and I'm confident you're going to walk away all the more inspired to tackle and chase after your biggest goals.
1:00.0	One quick note for you before we hop into this one, I would greatly appreciate you giving us a follow and a five star view on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.
1:07.0	And then we also recently launched a podcast channel on YouTube if you prefer watching it.
1:11.1	I'd be so grateful if you subscribe there to help us support there.
1:13.9	The name of the channel is the Running Effect podcast.
1:16.0	I have also left a link to that in the show notes.
1:18.4	Without further ado, I hope you all enjoy my conversation with the man the myth of the legend,
1:22.0	Sam Preacle.
1:25.8	It's Sam Preacle, right? Is Prequel how you say your last name?
1:28.9	Yeah, yeah.
1:29.7	All done.
1:30.4	Cool.
1:31.1	I've heard it a few different ways, how I've always thought of it in my head as Preakle.
1:36.5	But, and then also, maybe we would just kick off the podcast this way.
