Hey Runas Connect fans,

and Nys Connect fans, welcome back to another team RC update.

Coach Michael Hammond here, letting you know what's going on with

team R.C. this week. So this week I published on Runners Connect with our

athletes. I published a bit of an interview kind of like a profile we call it a

spotlight on on one of our favorite members one of our favorite athletes her name is

Bjorg Klem. So Bjorg I want to talk about Bjorg today because she's such a fascinating

athlete and really such a treasure to have in the Runners Connect community.

All of our athletes, they just love her. So when I posted it, it was crazy because it just blew up.

Like, it got a ton of likes, a bunch of comments

and all the comments were saying,

you know, I love when Bjorg comments on my workouts.

She's so inspirational, motivational,

just so positive, just such a positive influence on our community.

And that's something that we've been trying to do, especially in light of the coronavirus,

is just highlighting you guys. You know, our audience, our athletes, the people that really make

Runners Connect what it is. I mean, we coaches, we work hard, we do everything we can for our

audience, for our athletes, for everybody involved in the community.

But at the same time, it's nothing without you guys, without our listeners of the podcast,

without our athletes, and, you know, without, admittedly, without a lot of like race performances to highlight it kind of became tough we were like what are we going to do so that's why we started doing these these spotlights and this week I really want to talk about Bjorg because she's just such a fascinating athlete.

I also have hung out with Bjorg several times.

She comes to a bunch of our running retreats and so the first time I met her it was at our retreat that's in Blowing Rock, North Carolina.
