Today’s episode in this coaching series is with Ryan Hall! Ryan is one of the greatest American distance runners of all time! Ryan Hall is a two-time Olympian for the United States in the 2008 and 2012 Marathon. He is the fastest American to ever run the marathon (2:04:58) and half marathon (59:43) distances. Ryan retired from professional running in January of 2016 and is now one of the founders of Run Free Training.In this episode, Ryan talks about some techniques and ways to stay in the game mentally when it feels daunting and hard. We also get to hear about his coaching and his training groups. I loved digging into Ryan’s mentality and learning about how he coaches his athletes. I always walk away from conversations with Ryan inspired to work hard and to have a healthy mindset.Thank you to V.O2 for sponsoring this series of the podcast!
