Manage episode 478013219 series 3564577
This week on the podcast in Thomas Boyden.
Thomas is a graduate student competing for Stanford University in Palo Alto, California.
He recently ran 28:06 for the 10K, putting him on the top-10 all-time list for Stanford outdoor 10K on the men’s side.
Having been in the sport for close on the decade, Thomas and I go through his journey in the sport, growing up in Salt Lake and being the class of his high school, to navigating his journey at one of the top universities in the country. Thomas has had an up-and-down journey throughout his time at Stanford due to injuries and other health-related issues. However, he is riding the wave of momentum and is one of the top guys to look out for in the NCAA.
Being a Stanford guy, Thomas was one of the most articulate guests I have had on the show before. He is extremely thoughtful, intentional, and reveals a lot of critical lessons that he has learned throughout his time at Stanford.
Thomas and I also discuss his transfer to BYU in the fall and what this means for the rest of his career.
I hope you enjoy this episode of The Sunday Shakeout!
