ABOUT THE CALL ROOM: Introducing The Call Room With Connor Burns & Simeon Birnbaum.
The Running Effect will document their season in-depth this outdoor track season. Each week, Connor and Simeon will pull back the curtain and show you how they train physically and mentally and handle failure, adversity, and the ups and downs that ensue this season.
Connor Burns ran 3:58.83 in the mile last June, becoming the first high schooler from Missouri to break the four-minute barrier. He is also a reigning national champion in the 3200m and became the fifth-ever high schooler to break four minutes in the mile indoors by running 3:59.11. Most recently, Connor became a national champion indoors in the 2-mile by running 8:43.24. Connor has committed to run for The University of Oregon this fall.
Simeon Birnbaum is the first sixteen-year-old in America to break four minutes in the mile. He did this by running a 3:59.51 while winning a national title in that same race. Simeon also holds a personal best of 1:50.12 in the 800m. Simeon holds the South Dakota state records in the 3200m, 1600m, and 800m. Simeon has committed to run for The University of Oregon this fall.
This season Connor and Simeon are chasing history; we are here to document it in a historic and unprecedented fashion. Over the coming months, Connor and Simeon will dive deep into their outdoor campaign leading into big invitationals, state championships, national record attempts, and national meets. We will go into their training, racing, mindset, and answer your questions along the way!
This series is presented by Hoka, who recently launched their state-of-the-art track spikes, the Cielo MD & LD! They are lightweight, propulsive, and exhilarating, making race pace feel more comfortable than ever.

| 0:00.0 | The Call Room with Connor Burns and Simeon Burnbaum is presented by Hoka. |
| 0:05.0 | Hoka recently launched their state-of-the-art track spikes the CLOX MD and LD, and all I can say is these spikes are innovative and a tip of this beer product made for elite athletes. |
| 0:16.0 | These spikes contain a carbon fiber plate in a bed of energy returning foam that delivers a lightweight, |
| 0:21.8 | propulsive, and exhilarating ride on the track. I, along with Connor and Simeon, have used |
| 0:26.7 | them, and these things are smoking fast. I would highly recommend these spikes for anything from |
| 0:31.6 | the 800 to 3200 or anything in between. The propulsion of the carbon fiber plate mixed with the extreme lightweight package |
| 0:39.2 | makes race pace feel more comfortable than ever. |
| 0:42.3 | It's no surprise that Luis Grijalva placed fourth in the 5K |
| 0:45.5 | at the 2022 World Championships in a version of these spikes. |

| 1:17.7 | So much banter, a lot of insights, a lot of great wisdom from Connor and Simeon, and just an overall, |
| 1:23.6 | really enjoyable episode that I am so confident you'll enjoy and find entertainment and value |
