Jessica Hull joins Brady to debrief her performance in the Pre Classic where she ran 4:02 in the 1500m in her debut race as a professional, going over mantras, training and tactics that lead to running her Tokyo Olympics Qualifier. Jessica explains the process of turning pro and signing with the agency totalsportsus and then talks about her storied NCAA career, from choosing the University of Oregon and getting into the NCAA system, training in Oregon and having unfettered access to facilities and resources, while getting recognition to balancing her academics and sport.
Jess uncovers the origins of her running starting at school cross country and being coached by her dad and building the progression slowly before going into what a typical training week now looks like, then closing out with her sources of inspiration within the Oregon scene and the difference in racing mentality between Australia and America as well as future plans for racing.
