Summary

Today on the podcast is 3:31 1500m runner Vince Ciattei!

Vince runs for Under Armour's Dark Sky Distance based out of Flagstaff, Arizona!

If you're not familiar with Vince, you will be soon. He's been on an absolute tear as of late.

Vince won the 2024 Trials of Miles race in 3:50.56, track personal record and #7 U.S. all-time indoors, and in April, he earned his second USA Road Mile title at the Grand Blue Mile, setting a course record and just missing the world record with his 3:56.97. This past week at the U.S. Olympic Trials, Ciattei finished fourth in the 1500m, running 3:31.78, a massive PR.

In 2023, he won Monmouth Mile in 3:52.56, and in September, he finished 4th at the New Balance 5th Avenue Mile, setting a personal record of 3:50.3.

In 2022, the rising star captured his first national title at the 2022 Grand Blue Mile in Des Moines, clocking 4:04 (4:03.2), and in July, he defended his Fleet Feet Liberty Mile in 4:04.

In 2021, he won the Fleet Feet Liberty Mile in Pittsburgh, tying the event record (3:59), finished third at the Downtown Yakima Mile (3:56), and was a 1500m finalist at the U.S. Olympic Trials.

At Virginia Tech, Ciattei was the 2018 NCAA 1500m and indoor Mile runner-up and with his Hokie teammates, also won the NCAA Indoor Distance Medley Relay and the National 4x800 Relay Championships.

In high school at Perry Hall, he won Maryland state titles in the Mile & 3200m (indoors) and 800m & 1600m (outdoors).

In today's conversation, Vince takes me through the raw emotion of being one spot off the Olympic team, lessons from his career, and much more!
