Lex Young Recaps Running A Historic 13:43 5k As A Junior In High School

Athletes Mentioned

Less than 24 hours ago, Lex Young, a junior in high school, ran the second-fastest 5k ever by a US high schooler. Lex ran 13:43.95 putting him #2 all-time right behind the legend Galen Rupp. He did this at Sound Running's "Track Meet". I thought it'd be a cool idea to get his immediate thoughts post-race and got him back on the podcast! We do a deep dive into the race last night. From his intentions going into the race to mentally willing himself forward when the lactic hit to his post-race stomach struggles. This fifteen-minute recap of this historic race is well worth listening to! If you want to help us out please like, subscribe, and share.
