Episode #102: The Anatomy of a Breakthrough with Ben Flanagan
Thanks to Reebok, we are excited to welcome NCAA-10K-champion and recently-turned-pro Ben Flanagan to the podcast. We start with an intro talking about him as a fan in the sport. Which athletes would he livestream to watch race? Who is he excited to compete against? As a track athlete, what does he think of a marathoner like Eliud Kipchoge? Then, we turn to Ben as a runner and particularly dig in on his breakthrough performance at NCAAs. As an underdog, where did he find the belief that he could win? How did overcome injury to get there? What was he thinking during the race? And, how does this all apply to the every day runner? If you are looking for a breakthrough in your own running, then we believe this interview is full of knowledge bombs for the new Reebok athlete.
