Episode 667: Welcoming Out and Back with Rory Linkletter and Jacob Thomson to the Sandy Boy Productions Network

·32 min

Lindsay Hine introduces the Out and Back Podcast, hosted by Canadian Olympian Rory Linkletter and U.S. half marathon champion Jacob Thompson. They discuss why they started their podcast: a gap existed for high-performance marathon content targeting athletes pursuing Boston qualifying or Olympic trials times, not just finishers. Their approach differs from typical running podcasts by modeling peer-to-peer learning—asking questions they genuinely want answered, diving into training numbers and technical details rather than origin stories. Both athletes emphasize that professional running requires self-promotion since there's no league or team pushing them. They discuss training volume (120+ miles weekly), easy run pacing (7:00-7:30 for Jacob, 6:40 for high-volume athletes), and how the podcast helps their coaching and sponsorship visibility while building genuine community.
