  • Episode 64 - Jamey Harris - 1998 USA Champs 1500m Breakdown
    Mar 13 2024

    We are fortunate enough to finally have Jamey Harris on the pod to breakdown his epic win at the 1998 USA Track & Field Championships in the 1500m in New Orleans.

    You can find video of the race here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Us2CfrGmR_M

    Jamey ran and graduated from Fresno State University in 1994 and went on to compete as a professional runner before taking his talents to the coaching ranks. Jamey is currently the Head Cross Country Coach at Cal Poly Humboldt, you can read more of Jamey's accomplishments as a coach here: https://humboldtathletics.com/staff-directory/jamey-harris/232

    It was fun breaking down Jamey's most glorious race....so far. We will have Jamey back for trivia or just to hang out, because if you're eve hung out at the Wild Duck in Eugene, OR, you know Jamey is always the life of the party. Jamey also now has the distinction of being the first time we needed to label one of these episodes as explicit, how fitting. Enjoy the show!

  • Episode 63 - "On the Edge" Breakdown
    Jan 9 2024

    Chris, Dave, and Travis are fired up to breakdown a film no one has seen in "On The Edge" starring Bruce Dern from 1986. The best running movie ever made. If you want to see the film, you can find it here on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0stg_3P9fkM (note there is nudity in the movie).

    You'll probably want to watch the film before listening to the podcast, but still might be a fun listen without seeing it. If we didn't convince you and you want to see a trailer to see if this movie if worth your time, you can find the trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHr4XtxViOY

    To learn more about the actor Bruce Dern's running background, you can read this article by Runner's World: https://www.runnersworld.com/runners-stories/a20852252/a-running-conversation-with-bruce-dern/

    We hope you enjoy the show, it was a lot of fun to record, any other film breakdown requests? Let us know on the social media.

  • Episode 62 - Sean Brosnan
    Jan 2 2024

    The Just Athletics podcast is like "Curb Your Enthusiasm", we go on long hiatuses, but then come back with bangers. Kicking off 2024 we have an incredible guest in Sean Brosnan. Chris, Dave, and Travis banter a little to start the show, so if you just want to listen to Sean, skip to the 17:15 mark in the show.

    Sean Brosnan has established himself as one of the best coaches in sport. He made his mark at Newbury Park High School, coaching arguably the greatest high school cross country team ever. His teams at Newbury Park quickly elevated after his arrival in 2016 and won four California State Cross Country titles (three for the boys and one for the girls). The boys team won NXN in 2019 and in 2022 (after he had moved to UCLA but his influence was still felt and Aaron Sahlman won the individual title) and the Running Lane Championship in 2021. The boys team was 6th at NXN in 2018. His athletes ran ridiculously fast times on the track during his stint at NP, such as the Sahlman brothers running 1:48, with Colin also running 3:56 in the mile, Nico Young 8:40 in the 3200m, Leo Young 3:39 in the 1500m, Lex Young 13:43 in the 5000m, three school records for Samantha McDonnell in the 800, 1600, and 3200, and the lists go on and on.

    Sean spent one year at UCLA and quickly had the distance group performing at a very high level. He coached eight All-Americans in the distance events in that one year, highlighted with the women's DMR team placing fourth at the 2023 NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships.

    Sean is now a free agent and announces some big plans for his talents in 2024 on this episode. Thanks so much to Sean for jumping on to do the show on such short notice. We hope you all enjoy this time with a phenomenal coach.
