How D2 Running Star Brock Kelly's Focus On Intention Shaped His Running & Life & How You Can Take Your Running To The Next Level In 2025 With The Same Tools

Brock is back baby.

Digital creator and collegiate distance runner Brock Kelly returns to the podcast for round three today to discuss all things running and life.

Brock is a senior at Mississippi College, has a popular YouTube page, and is a budding entrepreneur. Through three-plus seasons he has compiled the following PRs: 1:55.03 in the 800m; 3:51.00 in the 1500m; 4:11.19 in the mile; 14:49.20 in the 5k; and 32:00.55 in the 10k.

In high school, Brock was a state champion in the 3,200m; two-time state champ in the 1,600m; three-time state champ in the 800m; and Cross Country state champion in 2018 and 2019.

Brock is best known for his YouTube channel (which currently boasts 19,700 subscribers) where he documents his NCAA journey; his “The Daily Mile” series is particularly popular.

In addition to his video content, Brock created the OE Athletics Club during his junior year. The brand’s motto, “Intentions Over Everything,” focuses on intentionality in athletics and how it can help build strong morals that lead to success.

Brock kicked off the 2025 indoor season at the Samford Indoor Open (in Birmingham, Alabama) on January 18 with a second-place finish in the mile with a time of 4:13.41. Prior to that he had two first-place finishes at the Birmingham Indoor Icebreaker on December 6, 2024: one as an individual with a 4:17.39 mile; and the other as a member of the Distance Medley Relay team, which ran a 10:35.26.

In today’s conversation, Brock and I discuss the third season of The Daily Mile, his creative process and inspiration these days, an in-depth look at his training, what he wants his legacy to be, and much more.

I love Brock’s energy and our conversations are always insightful and a blessing! Don’t miss this one.
