In this episode of “Meet The Team,” hosts Heidi Allan and Bryce Brooks sit down with the impressive Adam Sjolund, a young athlete excelling in both marathon and ultra running while pursuing a PhD in carbon capture & storage. We explore Adam’s inspiring journey into the world of running, sparked by his sister’s influence, and uncover a remarkable early experience: his crucial role in pacing a young Tierney Wolfgram to break the American U19 marathon record.
Adam shares the exciting story of his Olympic Trials qualifying debut at CIM in 2023, where he was the youngest qualifier, and his successful ventures into ultra running, marked by impressive podium finishes. We also delve into the fascinating challenge of balancing elite-level training with the demands of his PhD research and his aspirations to return to OTQ level marathons. Plus, get a sneak peek into his adventurous summer plans on the Pacific Crest Trail!
