- You might think that two marathoners and a decathlete have nothing in common, and well, you'd be wrong. There's broadcasting, photo shoots, national teams, doggos, track 1500s, and eventually marathons too(?).
On this episode, World Champion and Olympic silver medalist Trey Hardee joins his future marathon coaches for a wide-ranging conversation that covers the ups/downs of his career, the mental side of his 10-event sport, and the very difficult transition to retirement from track and field. Trey opens up about his struggles with mental health that nearly spiraled out of control for him while calling the US Championships last summer.
There are intense moments in this one, but it is a really fun episode too. Thank you to Trey for being so open and honest about it all.
What a beautiful episode. Thank you for all three of you for being vulnerable and sharing these feelings because everyone needs to hear them. The magic of this podcast
I have loved all your episodes so far, but this one really hit home for me. My husband used to race sprint cars. That was his job. He had a career ending, almost life ending racing accident during which he suffered a TBI, amongst other things. Anyway, I used to tell people he is mourning the loss of himself. He isn't the same person anymore. It continues to be a struggle, trying to find his place in the world without racing, something he had done all his life and moved countries to do. Whether it's a choice, such as retirement, or an injury, it's a struggle. I commend you all for opening up and sharing these tough conversations because they need to happen. Thank you.
Love this podcast and this episode was so moving. Appreciate the openness and vulnerability you all shared. Look forward to the mystery science show. Thank you again!
What a beautiful episode! I connected with all 3 of you in so many ways. All athletes no matter their status(elite or not) go through careers ending and final runs etc. the emotions that are attached to the end are never easy to feel. I praise each one of you for sharing this with such open vulnerability. Brilliant, amazing and a must watch or listen to podcast! Favorite one yet! ❤
This was such a beautiful episode and thank you all for sharing this.
This was an excellent episode. Honestly, so needed
I am behind on listening an just listened to this episode and it was so meaningful to me. Running has always been my “out” and my constant companion through instability and trauma and when I was diagnosed with EDS Type 3 I couldn’t run or walk for exercise for two years and felt totally lost. Luckily I got a second chance and will get to run in the NYC half! But no one seemed to be able to relate to loss I was experiences during the months I couldn’t run and would just tell me to “do other stuff” and so it feels good to know that what I experienced was normal and other people experience it too ❤
Love this podcast and its RUclips format, you should have a tv show. Take this to the networks!! Excellent conversations with amazing athletes 🎉👏🏼
This will be legendary. Every athlete needs this episode. Thank you❤❤❤
Thank you for bring Trey in for a chat! This episode was amazing! Yes, I cried too! Thank you for sharing this! How about a Trey Hardee book, "Doing it all, Decathete style!"
I agree, people should not be weighing in on someone else's very personal decision to keep pursuing sports, professionally or to retire from it. It's part of your identity and it will always be part of your identity - but you get to decide when and to what extent.
❤
wow that got deep! great job yall! Really cool how decathletes support each other - the world should be like that! Can't believe he's reading yalls books too.
the deslackthlon... slacker...you guys are so funny. he's a treat, thanks for this!! all the fans should hear this.. we don't KNOW what you go through... congrats, I love this.
Does Adam still run?
Let's get Trey to run 26.2! Make it happen, Des and Kara! I bet he can run sub 3 out of the gate! Easily! I bet 2:30s or 2:40s. 8 hours?!? Nah!
Apologies if this has already been brought up, but I'd be interested to hear each of your thoughts on transgender women competing against biological women. As I male, i have been very surprised with relatively small number of big name athletes that have been outspoken on this topic AND I feel like if the majority of top level biological women neutral or have no opinion it then maybe I shouldn't care either. I just don't feel like that it should be allowed. In effect, we are putting the needs of this marginalized community AHEAD of another segment which in many cases has been marginalized also. The needs to the transgender community should not be AT the expense of women. FACT I am not transphobic...I just feel like we are going backwards with everything title ix was about.
