The RUNATL Podcast is hosted by Big Peach Running Co. Founder, Mike Cosentino, and Director of Marketing, Dave “D2” Martinez. This week on the RUNATL Podcast we sit down with Ty Akins, an NCAA National Champion at 110m hurdles, a champion on the world stage, 2x Olympic Trials qualifier, and elite-level coach. He was sponsored by Nike as a professional athlete and now works for Saucony. We talk about Track & Field and so much more!
Hello, Friends,
As most do not need help recalling, there was a glaring and disappoint absence last Spring for organized sports and recreation. Whether Braves baseball, tennis with friends, or local road races, it was all on ice… Also included in the casualties were the Spring activities for local schools and universities. As such, we shelved our annual Track & Field episode on the podcast, as the relevance seemed thin… This year, however, the State Championships are poised to return – – and once again, we’ve put together an episode that holds something for EVERYONE. Whether you’re involved with a local track & field team or not, our Featured Conversation with Ty Akins will be appealing to everyone who wants to get better at whatever they do! Ty is NCAA National Champion at 110m hurdles, a champion on the world stage, 2x Olympic Trials qualifier, and elite-level coach. He was sponsored by Nike as a professional athlete and now works for Saucony… So much fun!
