Ep. 84 - An Open Conversation with High School Star Alexa Matora

This week on the podcast is Alexa Matora! Alexa currently runs for Lake Washington High School and just finished her junior track season last week at Nike Outdoor Nationals, racing the championship mile (4:50) and the championship 800 (2:09). We talk all about: - Working at a running shoe store - Tactics for training and racing - Staying positive and enjoying the sport - What it’s like being coached by her mother - The importance of staying relaxed and not taking the sport too seriously - The power of consistency - And much more. Before we get into today’s episode, if you haven’t already and you are enjoying The Sunday Shakeout, please consider giving this podcast a follow and a five-star review on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. That goes a long way in supporting the growth of this podcast so that I can keep having discussions with amazing people in the sport of running and keep this deal going. We have a couple of big guests over the next couple of weeks that you won’t want to miss. One is a former Olympian and the other one of the top runners in the NCAA right now so you won’t want to miss any of the action.
