COFFEE CLUB: a running podcast about nothing
Morgan McDonald
This week we are joined by the one and only Mr. Morgan Pearson. Morgan is a professional triathlete with a super strong running pedigree. He started his career as a runner at the University of Colorado in Boulder and still competes every now again in road races and cross country (4th at USA's!). He is also a good friend of the Coffee Club boys and OAC. We talk about his recent half marathon performance in Valencia, his plans for the future (running or triathlon?!), and his thoughts on the Matt Choi situation. We also reminisce about our trip to New York City for our live event at the New York Marathon and meeting Rich Roll.
If you enjoyed this episode, please leave a 5 star review! We appreciate the support ❤️

NEW YORK!! We made it. The boys head to NYC for this episode to do our very first live show with a studio audience. We had a great time with our fans in New York celebrating Hellen Obiri and On's marvelous new LightSpray technology. We catch up with the boys on how their NYC experience is going, talk about Olli's role in developing the new shoe technology, and play some games with the OAC rookies (Robert Farken, Ky Robinson, Dylan Jacobs) and lovely audience members. We finish off with some great Q&A about Flagstaff, training in 2025, and Penn Relays vs. Millrose Games. We have so much fun and hope you will too.
Note: Tune into the YouTube video to check out some of our magical live moments and visuals. Also apologies for the audio recording quality! Our actual recording comes through towards the end (after a technical mishap).

Today we welcome our new teammate and permanent podcast host, Ky Robinson. After an illustrious run at Stanford as an On NIL athlete, Ky joined up with OAC this summer to begin his professional career. We go over everything from how he got started to his favorite Young Bother (hint: it's not Nico) to why he picked OAC over Bowerman TC. We also cover a bit of triathlon news as Morgan Pearson runs a very fast half marathon in Valencia and also the SEC cross country roster limits in the NCAA.
We will be in NYC for the marathon this year!

Gear up for the Diamond League Final with the Coffee Club! Ollie spills all the behind-the-scenes tea from Zurich, including a heartwarming chat with Jakob Ingebrigtsen and Yared's epic victory. George returns from a whirlwind European tour with stories from Malta and Amsterdam, and Morgan begins his off-season in London after his top secret underground go-kart race. Plus, Gus is back (in spirit) with a dose of cheeky humor and a must-watch movie recommendation (watch until the end).
They dissect the latest track drama, including Sydney McLaughlin's double races at the Diamond League Final and Josh Kerr's incredible 5th ave mile win. Olli also schemes up an attempt at scoring a Porsche sponsorship.
