Summary
Today on the podcast is Conner Mantz!
Conner runs for NIKE and runs distances from the 1500m to Marathon. He is currently intently training for the 2024 US Olympic Marathon Trials, which will take place on February 3rd in Orlando, Flordia.
Previous to his professional running career, he competed for BYU, where he was a multiple-time NCAA Champion and debatably the greatest runner to ever come out of that program.
Conner holds PRs of 1:46.99 in the 800m, 3:36.29 in the 1500m, and 3:52.76 in the Mile.
In today's conversation, Conner and I discuss NCAA athletes running fast at altitude, his recent training, closing a workout in a 4:09 mile, being mentored by Jared Ward, his thoughts on the trials, and so much more!
Anytime I get to sit down with Conner is a good time. I loved getting a look inside his process as he goes into one of the biggest races of his life.

| 1:34.0 | crushing it for many, many years. He now runs professionally for Nike and is really leading the |
| 1:39.3 | charge in the marathon for U.S. men, has really done some remarkable things over the years. He's |
| 1:43.8 | run three marathons. Most recently, he ran 20747 at the 2003 Chicago Marathon, where, |
| 1:50.4 | if I'm not mistaken, he was the top American. And going into this year's U.S. Olympic |
