Annie Rodenfels rejoins the podcast to catch up after a win at the Drake Relays.
Annie came on the podcast two times before: right after college and back in the winter of 2021.
A lot has changed for her since then as she continues to progress in the running landscape. Since we last spoke, she's lowered her PB to 15:03, won a USATF Championship, and got married.
She reflects on what's she learned so far in her career and how's she handled her progression.
She feels confident with her training is at and is ready to take on the competititon at the Trials this summer.

Annie Rodenfels returns to D3 Glory Days after running 15:08.80 at BU this weekend - a World Standard! The original goal of the of Saturday was to pace the BYU women to 3k-4k. At 3k, she was feeling good and dropped back into the pack to see where the train would take her. A 30 second last lap propelled her to win the race of her life. She is now 12th All-Time on the US Women’s indoor 5k list. The best stat of all, she is now the fastest Woman to run a 5k out of D3.
Annie recently joined the BAA after training with Greenville Track Club. This is the first time in her life she has female training partners and she is absolutely loving it. As she continues to bet on herself, she is excited to be training with Erika Kemp and Abbey Wheeler who will continue to push her each day.
We go into how the race played out, what her transition to the BAA has been like, and how she is handling this transforming race.
If you want to hear her origin story, go back to Episode 2!
