On Episode 2 of The Halfstep Pod, Grant and Connor discuss Grant's 13:02 5k PR (and current World #1 time) at this weekend's Sound Running Invite. They dive into how Grant was feeling, his pre-race routine, effective pacing, and what goes through his head in the most difficult parts of races. Grant also talks about what the results of the last couple weeks mean in the larger context of the past few years years of training. The guys also discuss the feeling of having multiple Olympic Standards in preparation for the Trials, Stanford's sweep at PAC 12s, and the Pistons' and Hornets' prospects for the second half of the NBA season.
