What happens when a college athlete tries to live like a pro runner? In this episode, we find out. From dialing in sleep and nutrition to double threshold days and recovery-first mindsets, we break down what actually translates from the professional lifestyle — and what completely falls apart the second you’ve got an 8am lecture and a dining hall meal plan. Featuring real talk on training like Nadia Battocletti or Jakob Ingebrigtsen while balancing papers, social life, and a student schedule that doesn’t care about your nap window. Whether you’re chasing a PR or just curious what separates the pros from the rest — this one’s for you.
