Summary

"After coming off of cross country and finishing second the year before, we were all really amped about having a team that could really win if we got it right. Obviously, it didn’t turn out that way, especially for me. I had a terrible race at Nationals. It was still about going out there and going for that. Giving everything I had to my team is super important to me. That’s what I also like about On. They’re as team-oriented as a pro group can be. I really appreciated that and that will definitely help me in this next stage to have that team vibe but still be bought into something."

Yared Nuguse just wrapped up his career at the University of Notre Dame, where he was an All-American and two-time NCAA champion with the 1500m outdoors and indoor DMR in 2019. He also held the NCAA record in the 1500m with a 3:34.68, which stood until it was broken this spring. He qualified for the Tokyo Olympics in the 1500m after finishing third at the Olympic Trials. Unfortunately, he had to withdraw from the Games in Tokyo due to a quad injury that he sustained while in Japan. So what’s next? He’s here with the news that he has signed with On Running and joining the On Athletics Club to work under coach Dathan Ritzenhein. Hear more about the move, what went wrong this past year but why things have turned and are now going right heading into the U.S. Championships, where he will be contesting the 1500 meters.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Sidious Mac Podcast. I'm your host, Chris Chavez.
0:03.2	The Sidious Mac Podcast is presented by Garmin. This is a sponsor and product that I use daily.
0:08.8	Garmin has released its latest round of 4Runner GPS running watches and there's plenty to be
0:13.3	excited about. The newest watches include the 4Runner 255, 255 Music, 255 S, 255 S Music,
0:20.9	4Runner 955 and 4Runner 955 Solar. The 4Runner 255 family is the upgrade from the super
0:27.4	popular 245. It's got all of your favorite functions from the previous edition and more
0:32.3	battery life, Garmin pay and some cool features including a multi-band GPS, race day widget and
0:38.3	a morning report. So let's start with the multi-band GPS. This means that there's two signals from
0:43.5	satellites coming down onto your watch to improve the GPS tracking so that your runs are more
0:48.4	accurate with measuring the distance run and the pace that you're going at. The map also looks
0:53.3	super clean once it shows up on Strava and Garmin Connect so it shows that you're on the sidewalk
0:57.9	and not in the middle of the ocean on those waterfront runs in the middle of the summer.
1:01.2	The race day widget connects with the Garmin Connect mobile app and gives you a countdown to
1:05.3	number of days until your next race. It's got a pace pro feature that helps you stay on goal pace
1:09.6	and factors in the race course if you load it onto the watch. They've got a projected race day
1:14.0	weather forecast and if you're up for it they'll even suggest some workouts on what you should do
1:18.7	for your next run to get you ready to hit your goals. It's fun and easy to get on your watch
1:24.0	the morning report is brand new and similarly it gives you the day's weather what you've got in
1:28.0	your calendar for the day and a recovery score that's pulled from your heart rate variability
1:31.8	so you know how fresh you may feel for that day's run or workout and how you slept the previous night.
1:37.1	For my triathletes out there there's also a new triathlon mode so you can bike, swim and run
1:41.3	all during the same activity while logging your transition times. Take a look down at your wrist.
