He breaks down the benchmarks, mileage, workouts, long runs, fueling, taper, and race-day decisions that make sub-3 elite but possible. Simple? Not exactly. Doable? With consistency, patience, and fewer heroic mistakes, we say yes. More people can do it than they think!

In this episode, Jeff sits down with his wife, Angelique Cunningham, to talk about the journey from elite athlete to coach, and the mindset that shaped both. They unpack how she came to Baylor from the Netherlands, struggled through a humbling freshman season, then rebuilt her confidence to become an NCAA champion. 

The focus of the conversation though is about surrendering to great coaching, blocking out negativity, using visualization as a competitive tool, and why the mind often determines what the body can do. They also reflect on what coaching taught them about mentorship, resilience, and redefining winning, not just as first place, but as growth, belief, and refusing to give up on yourself or the people you lead.

This one will make you want to run through a brick wall.
