    Today's conversation is one I've been wanting to have for a while. Sam Gilman joins the podcast!


    Sam is a Cadet at the United States Air Force Academy, where he has also become one of the top runners in the NCAA. Sam is a 3xAll-American and holds five Academy Records (Mile, 1500m, 3000m, 5000m - I/O). Sam has run 3:40.39 (1500m), 3:57.52 (Mile), 7:43.7 (3k), 13:25.17 (5k). He is looking to do some big things this spring and beyond.


    I loved this conversation. I thoroughly enjoyed diving deep into the life of an Air Force Cadet who also happens to be one of the top runners in the NCAA. We delve into the intricacies of his life, from the rigorous training sessions to the sacrifices and commitments required to excel in both his military and athletic careers. Sam's story is a testament to the power of perseverance, determination, and discipline in achieving your dreams, no matter the odds. Tune in to gain valuable insights and learn how to push past your limits to achieve success in all aspects of your life.
