Did you enjoy reading the bios on the Atlanta and Orlando Olympic Trials? Jay Holder brought that to the Atlanta trials and carried it over to Orlando.
You've also probably heard Jay's voice/name before as he's moderated many pro running event's press conferences and will carry that honor at the Paris Olympics.
At the trials this year, Jay was the Media Director and responsible for all things media. From getting stories out to the masses of qualifiers to telling Clayton Young's wife she can go hug him post race, Jay was doing it all.
That brief description doesn't do his role justice and he give great detail into what happened behind the scenes at the Trials.
He is currently the Executive Director of Running USA but prior to joining, he was the Vice President of Marketing and Communications for the Atlanta Track Club. He outlines what he's currently working on at Running USA and recaps his time at Atlanta Track Club.
Jay walks us through his background of his time at Oswego State was the catalyst for how he was able to combine his passion for running into a career in the running industry.
For his own training, he's currently preparing to run Rim to Rim to Rim in the Grand Canyon with a few friends this Spring.
This is a great episode for those wanting to know what happens behind the scenes at a major running event.
