    THE EVAN JAGER SPECIAL 


    Evan Jager is one of the most decorated and accomplished runners in US Distance history.


    Evan is the American Record Holder in the Steeplechase, along with the Rio Olympic Silver Medalist in the Steeple and London World Championships Silver Medalist in the Steeple. On top of these feats, Evan has won a US title at the Steeplechase SEVEN times. 


    He is one of the original members of Nike's Bowerman Track Club having dropped out of college (not to sound dramatic, he was just really fast and went pro) to follow Coach Jerry Schumacher. 


    Evan holds PRs of 3:32 (1500m), 8:00.45 (Steeplechase), 7:35 (3000m), and 13:02 (5000m). 


    Evan is a 2xUS Olympian. 


    In today's conversation, Evan takes me through his life updates which includes moving to a new country, his reflections on his 2024 season, how to deal with disappointment, how much longer he plans to run for, lessons on how to become great at the sport of running, and so much more.


    This episode is a true treat. A lot of Evan Jager updates mixed with unparalleled wisdom from the legend himself.
