On Track Nights x The Big Run - Track Fest - Dathan Ritzenhein

The Big Run

This summer… get ready to meet a different kind of track meet. Where the world's fastest athletes meet a festival atmosphere. The big run is proud to be partnering with On to bring you a series of preview podcasts around their global track night series. This week we'll be building the excitement for ⁠⁠Track Fest⁠⁠ with episodes dropping each morning with key figures on and off the track. As the preview build continues, today we are joined by three-time Olympian and head coach of the On Athletics Club, Dathan Ritzenhein. Dathan had an incredible athletic career and brings all his knowledge and experience to coaching this exciting stable of athletes, many of whom will be racing at Track Fest on the 6th of May. In this conversation, we look into what a typical week looks like leading into a race, his perspective on the OTN series and so much more. A big thank you to Dathan for taking the time to chat. We have episodes dropping everyday this week so be sure to subscribe from where ever you get your podcasts to be the first to hear Here's what to expect at Track Fest: Part music festival, part track meet, LA's Track Fest is unmissable for running fans (and fans of a good time).
