Austen Dalquist is not your typical miler.
He's an All-American from the University of Arkansas, a USATF Colorado Mile Champion, and a 3:41 guy in the 1500, but his journey hasn't been defined by times alone.
After battling personal health challenges, including an eating disorder and vocal cord dysfunction, Austen did what few dare to do: he stayed in the sport. He rebuilt from rock bottom, leaning on faith, community, and quiet resilience to stage a comeback that's as inspiring as it is unfinished.
Now as a pro based in Boulder, Austen is writing his most compelling chapter yet, running 1:48 for 800m, 3:53 in the mile, 7:45 for 3,000m, and 13:36 in the 5,000m.
And it was all done in a single season!
In today's episode, we unpack his journey from high school prodigy to college standout, through setbacks and redemption, to where he stands now, which is on the cusp of his best chapters yet.
So whether you're running through a storm or chasing your own breakthrough, this one's for you.
In today's conversation, Austen takes me through his radical new training system, joining Tinman Elite v2, setting PRs and what he attributes that to, how you can get faster, and so much more. Austen is the man. I always love my conversation with this guy.
