We talked about how Chicago is a homecoming for her, the prototype shoes she ran in, her race/pacing plan, her nutrition, and how (even though she ran a PB) she really should have run 1 second faster.

From the stadium to the roads of Budapest, we saw a full day of action for the penultimate day at the World Championships! Chris Chavez, Kyle Merber, Jasmine Todd and David McCarthy unpack Day 8’s biggest moments. We witnessed U.S. sweeps in both the men’s and women’s 4x100m relays, dominant performances in the men’s pole vault and women’s 5000m, inspirational finishes in the women’s marathon, and lots more.
Some of the highlights of Day 8 include:

– Men’s 800m final: Marco Arop made a big move on the final backstretch and came away with the victory in 1:44.24 after placing bronze at last year’s championships.
– Women’s 5000m: With a 14:53.88 finish and a 56.69 last lap, Kipyegon held off Sifan Hassan and Beatrice Chebet to win her 2nd gold medal of the week and first in the 5000m.
– Men’s Pole Vault: Mondo Duplantis won his third straight global pole vault title with a 6.10m leap and just barely missed a world record attempt at 6.22m.
– Men’s 4x100m relay: Team USA took the win in a world-leading 37.38 over Jamaica and Italy + Noah Lyles became a triple gold medalist.
– The U.S. women made it a sprint sweep over Jamaica with a 41.03 championship record + Sha’Carri Richardson picked up her 2nd gold & 3rd medal of the championship.

Lindsay Flanagan just placed 9th at the World Championships Marathon! I had a chance to talk with her just a few hours post race for her instant thoughts.
Lindsay Flanagan is a pro marathoner for ASICS.

I'm in Boulder this week, and I've found a couple of ASICS pro athletes to join in a round of Name that Shoe. I showed them some closeups of shoes, and they had to guess what they were. There were no points and no prizes, but I think we had a lot of fun. Tommie Runz also makes a guest appearance in this episode.

I do not have a new conversation to share with you this week but I am going to re-run a previous episode of the podcast with Lindsay Flanagan that was recorded in early 2020, just a few weeks before the Olympic Trials Marathon, where she ended up finishing 12th. Since that day in Atlanta, Lindsay has made some huge breakthroughs in the marathon and as a fan, it’s been super fun to watch. This past April she was 11th at the Paris Marathon in a personal best 2:26:54, and then, just a few months later in July, she won the Gold Coast Marathon in Australia, breaking the tape in a new course record, and another personal best, 2:24:43.
It was fun to revisit this conversation and hear Lindsay’s thoughts on the marathon and what she’s learned from it over the years, dealing with injuries throughout her career and navigating periods of time when she couldn’t run, what she’s learned as a coach of age-group athletes, and a lot more.

“I think I’ve just learned that whether you’re running a 5-hour marathon, a 4-hour marathon, a 2-hour marathon, we all go through the same struggles in training—whether it’s mental, whether it’s physical—and [my athletes] are always telling me, ‘Oh my gosh, we look up to you because you’re running 2 whatever hours,’ and I’m like, ‘No, I’m looking up to you because your training runs for your long runs, you’re out there for 3, 4 hours. That is amazing. You’re balancing your family, your job, your running—that’s what’s truly amazing. My running, that’s all I do all day is I go run. But you have all these other things you balance.’ So I think they just show me that with determination, it’s cheesy, but you can do anything because they’re balancing real lives and still running great, which has been really fun.”Lindsay Flanagan is a professional distance runner sponsored by ASICS and she’s gearing up for the U.S. Olympic Trials Marathon on February 29. Last fall, she finished seventh at the Chicago Marathon in a personal best of 2:28:08 and most recently, at the Houston Half Marathon, she ran 1:09:37—a 2-1/2 minute improvement on her previous personal best—and is heading into Atlanta with some awesome momentum. We recently had a great conversation about how she’s feeling heading into the Trials, why she’s over the shoe discussion, and how she’s learned to keep her composure in high-pressure situations. We talked about what Lindsay’s learned from racing nine marathons over the past five years, dealing with injuries and the dangers of keeping too fit while she couldn’t run, and the changes she’s made in recent years to keep herself healthy and strong. We also talked about what she’s taken away from working with age-group athletes as a coach with Run Doyen, who her heroes in the sport are, the popularity of her last name, and a whole lot more.This episode is brought to you by: New Balance: Use the promo code SHAKEOUT when you check out at newbalance.com to save 20% off your purchase of $100 or more. *Some restrictions do apply but this code should cover you for most products on their website.Complete show notes: https://themorningshakeout.com/podcast-episode-99-with-lindsay-flanagan/Sign up here to get the morning shakeout email newsletter delivered to your inbox every Tuesday morning: www.themorningshakeout.com/subscribe/Support the morning shakeout on Patreon: www.patreon.com/themorningshakeout
