Transcribe →Sit & Kick with Simone Plourde: Her Rise in Canadian Middle Distance Running
Jan 21, 202401:03:25Tap to summarizeSimone Plourde may be new to the professional scene, but how she races and handles everything running would make you think she has been in the sport for decades. Simone Plourde rose to recognition quickly in the NCAA while at the University of Utah. She finished 4th in the 3000m at NCAA Indoors, Pac-12 champion over 1500m, and earned All-American honors in the outdoor 5000m. It wasn't a perfect final year for the NCAA, but it was a perfect year for her to transition into the professional ranks, signing with Nike and UAC. Her summer consisted of a podium finish at the Canadian Championships and representing Team Canada in Budapest at the World Championships. Even after the long year, she lowered her 1500m PR to 4:06. Simone is well-spoken and articulate in how she talks about running, but not in the way you might think. She is a refreshing listen and we are sure her mindset and monologues will make you a fan of hers ahead of the Paris 2024. Topics of the Episode include: - Introduction to running and NCAA system/transfering Universities - Decision to leave NCAA early - Exceeding all expectations in 2023 - First World Championship experience - Nike/UAC - Fan Submitted - BanterBowl Disclaimer: Audio quality is lower than in previous episodes as Dave forgot his microphone cord and headphones but ordered a new set that will be ready for the next episode. Enjoy!

Josh is not shy to speak his mind, but this is the most authentic podcast he has had in months: In-depth analysis of the SD Half Marathon run of 61:51, how training is leading into a world record attempt, and all the Ins & Outs of 2024. When he and Dave get behind the mic, banter, and laughs will be had. Also, candid conversations and fan-submitted questions will be answered honestly and in-depth. This episode bounces around from conversations like training for the "downhill" half marathon, executing a race plan, off-seasons, how to deal with goal setting and burnout, focuses for 2024 & more.

Jan 7, 202400:58:06Tap to summarizeIsaiah Harris is not only a fan favorite for podcast guests but also one of our favorites for the 2024 Olympic team. Zay has nearly a decade of dominance under his belt for 800m, from winning NCAA titles with Penn State to representing his first US Senior team in 2017, 2022(i), and 2023. Zay has shown that experience is everything in the 800m, and he has what it takes to compete for the 2024 Olympic Team. In this episode, expect some high-quality banter and deep-dive conversations as two friends tackle various topics like professionals. Dave and Zay were teammates for one year but have known each other for some time. Topics covered include: - Dream 4x800m team to take down the WR of 7:02 by Kenya - Placing 4th in the 2021 Tokyo Trials - winning a diamond league two weeks later - What it takes to make the 2024 Team - I experienced another World Championship while watching a friend become a World Champion. - What Josh Kerr brings as a teammate - Zay is challenging Dave over 1000m for $1000! - & so much more!

Transcribe →"The Most Handsome Duo in the NCAA" with Nico Young & Drew Bosley
Dec 10, 202301:01:57Tap to summarizeIn classic Sit & Kick fashion, the podcast returned with the most talked about duo in the NCAA. Nico Young & Drew Bosley! The pair of NAU Lumberjacks join the show after a busy few weeks of racing. The pair finished 5th & 6th individually at the NCAA Cross Country Championships (leading their team to a 2nd place finish) and then two weeks later, they ran the best 3k/5k double on the same day, ever? Each of them posted marks under 7:45 for 3000m and then a few hours later ran sub 13:30 for 5000m The return episode of S&K covered a few podcast updates. Then it transitioned to deep diving NAU, the professional scene of Flagstaff, and Coach Mike Smith's mentality that he bestows upon his athletes for racing. From there, the podcast dived into the ever-famous banter bowl. Enjoy this hour-long episode, it is good to be back! Rate 5-star wherever you listen!!! We've lost track of the season... so welcome to SEASON 6 <3 J&D

JOSH KERR 1500M WORLD CHAMPION
Aug 27, 202301:06:27Tap to summarizeThe title of this episode is all the description you need to click play and kick back. However, if you still need convincing, this episode is the most in-depth Josh Kerr has gone in his build-up to the World Championships in Budapest, where he went on to win his first world title over 1500m. If you have listened to this podcast through the years you know David and Josh operate in a candid format. The episodes are less of an interview and more of a conversation between friends. This episode just so happens to be a very candid convo about rivals in Budapest, Josh's life and diet structure leading into the championships, a year's worth of races, and more. Enjoy this episode after the biggest win of Josh's career (so far). JOSH KERR YOUR 2023 WORLD CHAMPION Episode Graphic made by the talented: Natalia Salivia we appreciate all the messages and DMs for this episode. We believe Sit & Kick is a very young podcast and we hope to grow it for years to come. Thank you everyone! Please rate us 5 stars wherever you listen!

The Year in Review: World Champs, Contracts and David to UAC/Nike
Jan 15, 202301:20:29Tap to summarizeIt has been a long while since your hosts have come together over a podcast but boy have they been busy.... This episode is the longest episode to date which only seems appropriate after your hosts took the longest break to date. From World Champs to Half-Marathons. From fall training to falling into place with Nike. Your hosts get into the fine details of contracts and mindsets moving forward. Dave speaks from the heart and Josh asks all the questions that come to mind. There is far too much discussed to give a proper bio, so sit back and kick it with your hosts as they take you through a journey from April and beyond. "Do Track Differently" -- Sit & Kick

Apr 25, 202201:04:00Tap to summarizeThe past eight weeks have been full of talkable topics from Dave getting engaged to Josh getting a bit enraged at people boasting their opinions on athletes. A full circle of conversations beginning with the NCAA Division DII Record falling to Christian Noble this past weekend and ending with a no-skin-the-game discussion on the 4xMile relay banter. Between the two topics were a variety of great chat deep diving Daves experience in Ireland and both hosts prepping for a blistering 5k on May 6th.
