Inside Olympic Gold Medalist Gabby Thomas’ Mindset: Tech, Training & Her Move Up in Distance

Three-time Olympic champion Gabby Thomas joins Alex Cyr and Katelyn Tocci to break down the tech, mindset, and training that shape her sprinting career.

She shares the data she actually watches during workouts (02:40), how she manages recovery and sleep without obsession (04:25), and what it’s like navigating post-Olympic highs and lows (05:30). Gabby gets candid about her “killer instinct” on race day (06:53), her surprisingly zen off-track personality (08:35), and why she’s taking on the 400m next season (09:23). She talks discovering Strava (10:52), balancing joy with competitive drive, her Vogue shoot experience (12:10), and how new leagues like Athlos can empower athletes (14:14).
