Back on the podcast is Roisin Willis!
Roisin competes for Stanford University, where she has been absolutely dominant.
She's a 2xNCAA Indoor Champion (800m/DMR), a Four-time All-American, the School-record holder in the indoor 800, 4x400, DMR; and outdoor DMR. She was also the World U20 800 Champion in 2022. She also won in the 4x400.
In 2024, Roisin was the runner-up in the 800m, right behind her teammate Juliette Whittaker! She also ran in the 2024 US Olympic Trials in the 800m, this was her second appearance at the US Olympic Trials after also qualifying in 2020.
Back in high school, Roisin was also dominate and to this day is the national high school indoor record-holder for the 800m.
She's run 52.64 (400m), 1:27.20 (600m), 1:59.13 in the 800m, and 4:13.31 in the 1500m.
In today's conversation, Roisin takes me through her past year of running, how she's doing, weather, XC courses, music taste, off-season hobbies, falling back in love with the sport, her ambitions for the coming year, and so much more!
This one was honestly very free-flowing which are always my favorite podcasts to listen to on runs. So, with that being said, go lace up your shoes and join Roisin and I for a fun 50min convo!

"Cherish the people around you. Coming to Stanford and having such an amazing team has made such a difference for me in the sport and just how I view it...This sport is tough. Some days it's so rewarding and you feel like you're on top of the world but then other days, it crushes you. Having that great support system and realizing that's the best thing you can gain from the sport. I've won a lot of races but at the end of the day, the people I've met and the friends I've made is most important."
Stanford sophomore Roisin Willis, the 2023 NCAA indoor 800m champion and a New Balance NIL athlete, caught up with Kyle Merber to chat about how her first two years of college have gone and her hopes for preparing for a second U.S. Olympic Trials run.

Today's conversation with Roisin Willis is one of the most important and impactful conversations I've ever released.
Normally I write fancy bio's about the guest and their accomplishments. Today I just want to say take the time to listen to this conversation and hear Roisin's story. It is impactful beyond words, and I know you will be impacted by it. I'm still shocked at how wise, eloquent, and brave Roisin is for only being eighteen years old. Her courage to speak up and share her story is nothing short of inspiring.
You can listen wherever you find your podcasts by searching, "The Running Effect Podcast."
Lastly, please share this episode with your inner circle of friends, teammates, and family. I know so many people will be brought so much comfort through Roisin's story. Please do us a favor and share it with someone who you know.
Much love
