The Sunday Shakeout
The Sunday Shakeout seeks to share the untold stories of top high school, collegiate, and professional runners.
The mission? To showcase the humanity and unique journeys of these athletes. Through deep, authentic conversations, I aim to inspire my audience to pursue both athletic and personal success, seeing running not just as a set of goals, but as a path of growth and transformation along the way.
