THE RUNNING EFFECT PODCAST Sam Prakel On Running 3:59 In The Mile Or Faster NINE Years In A Row & His Pursuit Of Making the 2024 Paris Olympic Team
Today on the podcast is Sam Prakel!
Sam holds PRs of 13:15.96 (5k), 7:41.17 (3k), 3:50.94 (Mile), 3:34.63 (1500m), and 1:46.39 (800m).
Sam is a 4xUS Champion, the 2023 World Road Running Championship Bronze Medalist in the Mile, has made 6 consecutive USA 1500m finals, has had 9 consecutive years of sub 4:00 in the Mile, while at Oregon, he was the PAC-12 Champion in the 1500m, 5x NCAA All-American, and 2x Academic All-American.
Sam might just be the most consistent US miler over the past few years. His consistency is truly out of this world and a testament to his dedication and discipline to the sport over many years.
In today's conversation, Sam takes me through his years growing up in Ohio, the influence his older sister had on his running, his records in middle school / high school, running for Oregon, his years as a professional runner, and much more!
