The Early Miles

In this episode, Olin and Tim Hacker sit down to reflect on how they got their start in running, the role their family played in shaping that journey, and their first cross country races on the grass in Wisconsin. They dive into what it was like learning how to race, how to gauge effort, and those early breakthrough moments that opened their eyes to what they were capable of. It’s a conversation rooted in hometown memories, where the love of the sport—and the values that came with it—were passed down one stride at a time.Contact us at [email protected] written and recorded by Tim Gibson
