Welcome to this week's episode of the Running Effect with Dominic Schleader.

I'm your host, Dominic. And before we get into today's episode, just a little quick reminder,

if you've been enjoying the podcast as of late or have enjoyed any of our previous episodes,

it really helps us out a lot if you like, subscribe, share with your friends,

and even most importantly, give us a five-star review on Spotify. That way, people who haven't

discovered the show can discover the show more easily. In today's episode, I speak with my friend

Jules Williams. Jules just completed her first year at the University of Kentucky, where she runs collegiately for cross-country and track and field.

And in this episode, we go way back in time to Jules beginning in the sport,

where she talks about running in the Junior Olympics and some competitive outlets in middle school,

which was super, super cool to hear about. I've never heard that part of her story before.

We then go into her high school years where she ran for a powerhouse, Beaver Creek in Ohio.

My Ohio listeners will know what that school is. And then we go into present day, everything going on at Kentucky, the lessons she's learned in this past year. And then we even talk about her

YouTube channel in which she has, over the past few years of having it,

had upwards of almost 300,000 people watch it.

So that's just super, super cool statistic.

And then most importantly, we answer some of your listener questions.

So this episode was super, super fun.

I love Jules' joy and enthusiasm in this episode,

just puts a smile right on your face. So I hope you all enjoy this episode as much as I did.

But without further ado, here's my conversation with Jules Williams. Let's get into it.

Jules, welcome to the Running Effect podcast. This one has been a long time in the making or maybe a week in the making, but it doesn't really matter.

So how are you doing today?
