Today on the podcast is the real Michael Maiorano!

For those who aren't familiar with Michael, in high school, he boasted personal bests of 3:49 (1500m), 8:46 (3200m), and 14:37 (5000m). In the Fall of his senior year, he qualified for the Eastbay National Cross Country Championships, where he placed 12th. In the spring of 2022, he placed 2nd and 4th at the Oregon 6A State Track & Field Championships in the 3000m and the 1500m, respectively. In June of 2022, he took second place in the Brooks PR 2 mile.

Today's episode was very casual and wide-ranging. Just a conversation between two friends. And as I'm sure you know, with those, they are fun, deep, inspiring, funny, and everything in between. Michael shares his story, running in the mountains, where he thinks his future lies, the lows of the sport, his high school days in Oregon, training during covid, running for Gonzaga, running with God, and not for him, and so much more.
