Like, who paced him to run New York?

Shalane Flanagan.

Was it Shalane?

Yeah.

Hats off to her and...

Coach Jerry Schumacher, Shalane Flanagan, just done a wonderful job.

She's just got a lot of strength, a lot of speed, a lot of confidence.

You know, interesting.

anyone so that's being a loser

i always think of i always think of this one thing of like um basically like the it training group for runners in the us like in 2010s was like the barrowman track club which was like coached by this guy jerry shoemaker who had been a wisconsin coach and so it was all the wisconsin guys but then shalane flanagan joined it another cookbook author else who you simply must connect with And she was like the only girl.

And you could kind of tell she's a guy's girl and you could tell she kind of liked it.

But then this girl, Emily Infeld, joined and she's a truly like girly girl.

You're not elite.

Like, don't take off out of the blocks like you're, you know, Shalane Flanagan.

Like, ease into your race because you get so excited at the gun.

And before you know it, you've run two miles at like your 5K pace and you're like, oh, my gosh.

So so the next race after that was was another New York.

And it was the year it was super hot.

And, um, I had the good fortune of, of, of being able to run that race with Shalane Flanagan.

And, um, and as someone who's run the race, who's run the race, like one of the most decorated runners of all times, I'm just like, I'm like, I should take this opportunity to like, see how, like where, where my limits at.

book? And

folks, we're talking about Shalane Flanagan here, just for those that don't know, we're talking about Shalane.

um I would say the superhero muffins I think those are like I feel like probably the most famous thing that came out of her cookbook it's like really good packed with like zucchini carrots all this stuff that's really good for you but they also taste so good and could eat it for breakfast like after dinner whatever amazing

Now, so that's your favorite thing to make.

that but we should after we get through the

yeah so yeah like that kind of put us on the map but with the first production I mean I remember we sent one to like Shalane Flanagan and like Molly Huddle and like just kind of our everyone that she's competing with and they would post it like and this was back before influencers was really a thing there weren't like influencers like it was just genuine like and I remember there was a triathlete here named Maddie Reed who's a pro triathlete medalist, right? Yeah, bronze medalist.

He took one of the track and he posted it and like, his Instagram just kind of blew up.

And that's when like, it that's how we started.
