Ep. 136 - The Return of SOPHOMORE Back-to-Back 800m Texas State Champ: Cooper Lutkenhaus on Mental Prep, Going B2B, And More!

Today on the show is the return of my man, the King Of The 800m, Cooper Lutkenhaus!Cooper is a sophomore out of Justin Northwest High School out in Texas. This guy really needs no introduction. If you listened to my prior episode with this guy, you would know that he won State in the 800m and the Brooks PR 800m his freshman year. The man has not slowed since then...He broke the high school indoor national record for the 800m, running 1:46.8. He is also officially a back-to-back State Champ outdoors in the 800m. The main reason I had him on today, was not only to discuss State, but also talk a little bit about the Lone Star Elite Invite out in Texas, where Cooper is set up to face 1600m and 3200m Texas State Champ Caden Leonard in the Mile. So, lots of amazing things going on with my guy ,Cooper.And please, before we get into this episode, if you haven’t already, wherever you are, in your car, at work, on a run, give this podcast a follow and a five-star review on whatever platform you are listening on. That goes a long way in supporting the growth of The Sunday Shakeout so that I can keeping bringing to you some of the greatest stories in the sport of running and in that process, share love and passion for track and field and distance running.Without further delay, let’s get into my chat with the one and only Cooper Lutkenhaus!
