Ep. 110 – The RUNATL Podcast Olympic Track & Field Preview with Ty Akins

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 our expert, Ty Akins, as he walks us through various events and what athletes to watch at this year’s Olympic Games!

2020 Year

Hello, Friends,

It’s that time again!  Well, like many things, “that time” is overdue… but we’re talking about the opportunity to enjoy The Olympic Games.  More specifically, the Summer Olympics have commenced in and around Tokyo, Japan.  For sure, the scene will be much different as protocols abound and spectators do not.  Still, various broadcasting mediums will give us the chance to see all the action and cheer on our athletes!  For this episode, we’ve constructed a primer for the Track & Field competition.  To do so, we went back to Ty Akins, a former professional hurdler and representative of Team USA to tell us what to watch for, where things will be interesting and what to expect…  It’s always a gift to have an expert nearby!  It is our sincere hope you enjoy this episode and the Olympics!

Here are the Show Notes:
