Hey guys welcome back! Today we have Alicia Monson on the show. She has been on an absolute tear ever since becoming a professional two years ago, culminating in a recent Winter season where she set American Records in the Indoor 3000m and the 10,000m. As a teammate going back to the Wisconsin days, we had plenty to catch up. We also had some great questions from you guys to ask, so thank you to everyone that sent them through!

“I think I was ready for a change and I wanted to really see where I could keep growing as an athlete...I wanted that team environment. I took a visit to the On Athletics Club in October and my gut just said, ‘This is where you need to be to be successful.’"
Josette Norris was previously a guest on this show back in October 2021 but she’s back now after signing a new contract with On and has joined the On Athletics Club. We talk about how the move came together, why she’s excited to workout with Alicia Monson and Sage Hurta and how she overcame some mental battles during last year’s outdoor season. She is making her OAC debut at the Dr. Sander Invitational on Jan. 28 and then racing the women’s Wanamaker Mile at the Millrose Games on Feb. 11.

holy moly did these guys race well this past weekend.
coming off a huge weekend at the Millrose Games in NY, we have 3000m winner Alicia Monson on the show! the OAC and COFFEECLUB had amazing showings at this meet, with multiple victories and national records.
so as expected, this episode is spent recapping all of this. unfortunately Ollie has been feeling a little unwell so was unable to join, but we are sure that he will be back next week in full force.
Alicia has achieved a ton in her short career, so we will certainly have her on again with so much more to cover. check out her on Instagram here! https://www.instagram.com/monsonalicia/?hl=en
hope you guys enjoy!

Alicia Monson is a professional runner for the On Athletics Club and a 2021 Olympian in the 10,000 meters. Before turning pro, she was a star at the University of Wisconsin. Just a few weeks ago, she won her first national title with a win at the USATF Cross Country Championships in San Diego. In this episode, we touch on a bit more of her personality and dive into why so many things have been going right for her in the past two years. She’s got big goals to make the U.S. national team in the 10,000 meters again for this summer’s world championships. I think she does a great job providing insight into her mindset during races and when she makes her move to break the competition. Stick around for her recap of the super hot Olympic Trials 10,000m race and her funniest drug testing story.
