Nowadays, it's more so I enjoy the challenge
of the fact that I'm not where I want to be yet,
and so I'm constantly building towards what that looks like.
All good.
Okay, just smooth as be.
Raevyn, keep the shoulders down, hands down.
I didn't choose the 800, it chose me.
I feel like bringing more attention to the 800 specifically, I mean
the 800, for America, is extremely deep right now.
Track is very mental.
You already have the weight of your thoughts,
and anxiety, and just of what-ifs, so many thoughts,
so you have to be able to have fun.
I try to be very vulnerable and very true about things
because some people just need that authenticity
to be able to be like you know, I can relate to this person.
And it's not just you seeing me on the track
and me being an inspiration and a mentor,
but just the fact I'm a person.
I'm going for a lift.
Now we're just gonna get in some mobility,
'cause we got a little speedy,
so now we have to just kinda make sure everything’s loosened up
and stretched out in the perfect way.
Probably do a little core, that'll be good,
just a little tune-up.
Paul's gonna show me windshield wipers.
It's giving baby cobra.
The thing I find common between my relationships
with my coaches, they push me to my potential.
Just always having that reminder even when
I may not be pushing myself to my fullest,
it has made me successful and will continue to make me successful.
Hey, that worked great.
We're good, we're good.
Now, just before we recover, I might even adjust it more.
It's just about when you're ready, that's it, okay.
What's the timeframe, three?
Okay, so we started at 57 now, he was perfect.
You were 56:98.
Yeah.
Okay, this we wanna just be right at 42:00, okay?
That's it.
You're not going 25.
Nope.
I might.
Unless you want to pass me.
Then I might have to go 25.
If I go 25, you gotta go 23.
Get your composure.
Easy, easy, easy.
It's a you versus you situation.
I mean, that's how the best competitors
are the best competitors,
it's like they are versus themselves, not really the people
that they're actually competing against.
That's something I struggled with for a while.
I came off of college,
I had this amazing career at Oregon, this amazing impact.
But then once you're into the professional world,
it's a different ballgame.
It's another level
that you have to rise to the occasion for.
It's a lot of life thrown at you.
If I feel like something's a little bit more overworked
than normal and I don't feel balanced,
then I'll go to the pool.
I love water.
For me, feeling good is just feeling light.
Whether it's mental,
or whether it's actually feeling light, physically.
Oh I'm not late its ok
because it was 10:01 and I was flying you know.
Clearly a family run.
Everyone in our team are like top 10 people in the world
and we'll be breaking records and medals.
So it's just fun that I'm able to be a part of that,
and that champion mindset and atmosphere.
I'm more than ready, I've been training for this.
Yep, rain, sleet, whatever it takes.
And I'm excited about this year
because it's all coming together.
Running is you being you.
