Willy Fink & the Falmouth Elite Mile ft. John Reniewicki
In S2Ep12 of the PRP, Adam chats it up with a professional runner, Under Armour running athlete, Eastern Michigan XC alum and master brewer, Willy Fink who has been preparing for the Falmouth Elite Mile on August 20th, 2022. Willy lays out an in depth review of his approach to building his yearly race schedule and sheds insight into the benefits of competing in shorter distance events. You can race hard and often, meaning more opportunities for success throughout the year.
John Reniewicki, professional runner, Under Armour running athlete, avid outdoorsman and self proclaimed best dressed on the team joins the show as guest host and shares the tale of his journey to becoming a professional athlete. Although John's route to running at this level has been nearly polar opposite to Willy's, he’s been an underdog nearly his entire life, so why should he expect things to be any different now?
The lads deep dive in to the vast and emerging world of Under Armour running and confess that they feel extremely fortune to be on the ground floor of the brand’s rapid evolution into the sport. After all, they’re in Baltimore so that they can live and train within a stones throw of Under Armour HQ. The two then discuss their strategies for internal vs. external motivation and explain how to leverage the talent and vibe of a race to get the best out of yourself.
What is Willy’s well of inspiration and what can you learn from the way he leans on the successes of his entire team to help with his own personal growth?What is John’s wild twist on the PRP’s last day on earth question?! What is Forest Road 211 in Coconino County? Ummm, did Willy’s track career start with the high jump? We talking vertical cut nanners?!?! Whoa whoa whoa, has John’s dad been coaching since before dinosaurs roamed the earth?! This and so much more in this informative and hilarious episode of the PRP.
