456: Craig Engels - Go Your Own Way

Craig Engels is no stranger to the C Tolle Run podcast, and if you've listened before, you already know he's never short on stories. Last time Craig joined Carrie, they talked about his accomplishments in the 800m and 1500m. This time, fresh off USATF Nationals in New York City, Craig shares what happened when he decided to explore the city a little more than planned. And if that wasn't enough excitement, he packed up his dog, Roo, and embarked on a bike adventure across North Carolina. But there's much more to Craig than his epic adventures. Now training and living in Flagstaff, Arizona, he's setting his sights on the 2028 Olympic Trials with big goals and plenty of motivation. Craig opens up about what has kept him in the sport, how he handles the tough moments, what he does to escape when life gets overwhelming, and perhaps most importantly, his secret to always finding a reason to smile. Craig is as entertaining and effervescent as ever, and this conversation is guaranteed to leave you smiling.This episode is brought to you by Tailwind Nutrition.
