This week, I am joined by Matt Llano the 17th fastest half marathoner in U.S. history and 2:12 marathoner. In this episode we cover the full Matt Llano story, from humble beginnings with his high school teammate Matt Centrowitz (2016 Gold medalist) to his journey to Dark Sky Distance by Under Armour.

Matt is one of the first professional distance runners to publicly come out as gay in 2013 and was featured in Matt Fitzgerald's book, "Running the Dream." Matt is also well-known for his excellent diet and helped taste test many recipes in Olympic Bronze medalist, Shalane Flanagan's running cookbook.
