    Today on the podcast is a man who has been on fire recently, Sean McGorty!


    Sean is an OG guest of The Running Effect, so it is always a joy to bring him back on and soak up his wisdom. Recently, Sean placed third in both the 5k & 10k at this year's US Championships. He will rep the red, white, and blue on the big stage next month in Budapest for the 2023 World Championships. In his most recent race, he ran a PR of 13:02.13 in the 5k to gain the World and Olympic standard. Sean runs for Nike and The Bowerman Track Club.


    For those who aren't familiar with Sean, he has a long history of success from the time he was in high school. In high school, he won more state-championships and had more accolades than one could remember. In college, Sean became an NCAA Champion in the 5k at Stanford University and pushed forward that program to a new level in his years of representing the farm.


    In today's conversation, Sean pulls back the curtain on his past ten months of ups and downs. He shares exclusive stories, insights, and wisdom from his journey and all of the different things that have gone on since our last conversation. He discusses his injury from this past winter and how he managed to come back and make the World Championships by placing 3rd in both the 5k and 10k. He goes through this in a deep way that I found fascinating and drew a lot of inspiration from. Today's conversation is one of the best and most inspiring in the history of the podcast. Period.


    Tap in to the Sean McGorty Special. You won't regret doing so.
