Today on the podcast is Habtamu Cheney!


Habtamu holds PRs of 63:19 in the Half-Marathon and 2:15:43 in the Marathon. He most recently placed 22nd at the 2024 Olympic Marathon Trials and last year 19th at the 2023 10k USATF Championships.


In college, he ran for Utah Valley, where he significantly contributed to the success of the program. Prior to his time there, he attended Desert Vista High School in Phoenix, where he held PRs of 4:14 (1600m) and 9:10 (3200m).


In today's conversation, Habtamu takes me through his training, journey, 22nd place at the trials, social media, and much more! In my opinion, he has one of the best up-and-coming stories in the sport, so I wanted to make this episode before his rise to the top. I hope you all enjoy this one as much as we did having it!

From Not Making An NCAA Meet To Making The 2024 Paris Olympics & Setting National Records: The Inspiring Story Of Lauren Ryan

Today on the podcast is one of the greatest talents of our generation, Daniel Simmons! 


Daniel is the most successful athlete in Utah's high school boys' running history. He was the 2024 Indoor Track and Field National Champion in the 5000m (NBNI), where he set a new National Record of 13:38; the day before, he led his team to the 4XMile relay anchor National Champions, running the second fastest time ever. Danny won the 2024 Arcadia Invitational 3200m Champion and 4XMile relay (anchor) Champions. He was the BYU Invitational 1600m Champion (new meet and state record),
2024 Utah 6A State Champion 1600m (New State Record 4:01) and 3200m (New State Record 8:36), as well as the 4X800 relay team State Champions.


Daniel has run 1:53 in the 800m, 4:01 in the 1600m at altitude, 8:36 in the 3200m at altitude (8:34 at sea level), and 13:38 in the 5k.

Daniel is also the BACK-TO-BACK Gatorade Boys National Boys POY.  


In today's conversation, we go through Danny's past few months of training and racing and how pivotal a role his faith plays. I sincerely loved this conversation and know you'll find benefit from it.

5-Star Football Recruit & Top Sprinter In The Country Brandon Arrington Shares His Journey To The Top Of Both Sports As Just A Sophmore In High School

Today on "The Call Room: Road To Seattle" is Clay Shively! 


Clay is one of the fastest high school boys in the country, and he's only a junior. He holds PRs of 1:51 (800m), 4:00 (Mile), and 8:41 (2-Mile). Clay is a New Balance Indoor National Champion in the Mile, a 6x State Champion, and committed to run for NAU this upcoming Fall.


In today's conversation, Clay takes me through his mindset leading into the final few weeks of the season, his takeaways from his XC season, his pursuit of the 4-minute mile, why he is embracing the underdog mentality going into Brooks PR, and much more!


I legitimately always love my conversations with Clay, and I am confident you'll walk away from this one inspired and ready to reach for those big goals you've set. 


You can catch Clay Shively running the 800m at the 2024 Brooks PR Meet in Seattle, Washington on June 12.

Clay Shively On Having A Growth Mindset In His Final Year Of His HS Career & His Chase Of The Sub 4 Mile

Today on the podcast is one of the most loved guests in the history of The Running Effect, Cole Sprout! 


Cole runs for Stanford University (Go tree!) and is entering his final year of school there this Fall. 


Cole has run 3:56 in the Mile, 13:24 in the 5k, and 27:42 in the 10k. Cole won the 2023 NACACs in the 5k, is a Five-time All-American, placed eighth in the 5,000 at the 2023 U.S. Championships, and 16th in the 10,000. 


In high school, Cole became one of the greatest HS runners of all-time in Colorado history. He was the first Colorado high school runner to break 9 minutes for 3,200 in a race run in Colorado. He ran 4:02.42 in the mile in a May, 2020, when a 4:02 was like what a 3:58 is today. He won six Gatorade state athlete of the year honors – three in track and three in cross country. He also won seven state championships – doubling in the 1,600 and 3,200 in 2018 and 2019, in addition to his cross country titles. 


In today's conversation, Cole and I go very deep on a plethora of subjects today relating to his running and faith. Cole speaks very openly about his faith as a Christian and we lean into that today and how it affects his running and life. 


We also talk about his last year of running and his plans for the upcoming months. 


Take the time to be blessed by Cole's wisdom!
