Kendall Ellis won the 400m at the 2024 U.S. Olympic Track and Field becoming a National Champion and securing her spot to run the open 400 at the Paris Olympics. She PR’d in both the semi final and the final at the trials running a time of 49.46 in the final. This was her first PR in 6 years…. and you’ll hear in this episode she wasn’t so hung up on that at all over these years because there were so many wins along the way. Kendall is an Olympic Gold Medalist in the 4X400 relay and an Olympic Bronze Medalist in the 4X400 mixed relay. She also competed in open 400m at the 2017 and 2019 World Championships where she won Gold in the 4X400 relay both times.

Is there anything better than watching someone become an Olympian?! Marisa Howard ran the race of her life at the Olympic Trials Steeplechase final last week. She ran 9:07 which was a 15 second PR for the Steeple veteran and first time mom. She placed third running a strong race from start to finish and if you haven’t seen the video yet of her family freaking out at the finish make sure you google that! Marisa lives and trains in Boise, ID and ran for Boise State. She ran the trials supported by Tracksmith which was not a traditional sponsorship but a great support for the Olympic Trials for so many athletes like Marisa. In this episode Marisa and I talk about how she felt becoming an Olympian, her training, family and her faith. I love her authenticity and was grateful for this conversation!

Today, I’m joined by the wonderful Briana Boehmer. I had the incredible opportunity to interview Bri in Boston, she was part of a live panel that I hosted. She ran her first marathon at the age of 42 in a time of 2:33. That was her first standalone marathon. She has done several Ironmans. She has a 9:22 Ironman PR and a 4:21 Half Ironman PR. She has completed the Kona Ironman multiple times. She ran for CU in college and after pursuing professional running and realizing maybe that wasn’t gonna happen for her, she took a break from that and then ended up getting into Ironman. But in 2021 at the age of 42, she thought, I’m going to see what I can do in the marathon. She ran CIM, and set the master’s course record running that 2:33. She now runs for Oiselle. Outside of running, she is passionate about mentoring and coaching. She is in the startup world, and she also teaches entrepreneurship courses. She serves as the COO of a forward-thinking local company and teaches entrepreneurship at the University of Colorado Boulder. She also serves on the board of directors for Startup Colorado.

This is a super exciting episode because I have wanted to have Michael Johnson on the podcast since I launched I’ll Have Another! Michael Johnson is a legend in the entire sports world. He is a sprinter who won four Olympic gold medals and eight world championship gold medals in the span of his career. He held the world record and Olympic records in the 200m and 400m. He won gold in the 200 and 400 in the same year, which was a really big deal in the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta. He won the gold medal again in the 400m at the 2000 Olympics. He was elected to the United States Track and Field Hall of Fame in 2004. He’s worked as a television commentator, often for the BBC in the United Kingdom. He’s also a business performance speaker and coach. He has a new venture with a new track league that he is super excited about. He has a big mission to get more eyes on track and field and help these athletes make a great career out of the sport we love so much. There’s going to be some big announcements coming up about his track league that will be launching next year. He’ll touch on it a little bit in this episode, but look for news on that coming very soon. This is a dream interview. I am so excited to bring you this conversation.
