Show notes

The Gabby Thomas Special is here!

Today's episode is my favorite episode we've ever recorded. Gabby's willingness to go deep on a plethora of subjects made this one next level. Gabby has accomplished so much in the sport, so to have the opportunity to have a long-form conversation with her was a privilege and an honor.

For those who aren't familiar with her:

Gabby is a 2xOlmypic Medalist (2021 Olympic Bronze medalist in the 200m & Silver medalist in the 4x100m Relay).

Gabby was the 2023 USATF Champion in the 200m and the 2021 US Olympic Trials Champion in 200m as well.

She most recently secured Silver at the 2023 World Championships in the 200m and Gold in the 4x100m relay.

Back in 2018, Gabby won the NCAA Indoor Championship in the 200m while representing Harvard. While at Harvard, Gabby studied neurobiology and global health as an undergraduate. She later got her Master's Degree in epidemiology from UT Austin.

Gabby holds PRs of 11.00 in the 100m, 21.69 in the 200m, 35.73 in the 300m, and 49.68 in the 400m.

Today's conversation was second to none. We cover so many things, from Gabby's journey in track to coffee to what it takes to be the best in track and field. We also discuss 2024, her being a part of the upcoming Netflix series on track, competing against Sha'Carri Richardson, and so much more!
