Shelby Houlihan Podcast with LetsRun.com Prior to USA Cross Country 2019

by LetsRun.com
January 30, 2019

Our third podcast of the year is in the books and it was a special one as we had our first guest of the year as USA 1500m star and 5000m record holder Shelby Houlihan joined us on the podcast.

2018 was a breakout year for Houlihan as she went from being a 4:03 1500m runner to running 3:57, winning the Prefontaine and Lausanne Diamond League meets and breaking the American 5000m record.

Houlihan is up for new challenge in 2019 and is running the US Cross Country Championships at 10km this weekend in Florida and says she’d consider running the World champs if she makes the team. She talks about her Bowerman Track Club team and the high expectations of coach Jerry Schumacher.

Prior to Houlihan joining the podcast at the 33 minute mark, we discuss the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix in Boston, the pro debut of Sydney McLaughlin and whether she is a diva and whether she will win worlds this year. Plus split screen technology has come to track and field broadcasts and what do we think of the future of Katelyn Tuohy?
We discuss another Dr. Rosa athlete running fast in Dubai and what we think that means.
