The motivation to continue competing post college is built in the months or even years prior to graduation. In our first of our multipart series we welcome Otterbein's University's Max Hoffman, and Albion College's Adam Ditri & Andrew Wittland. In this episode each speaks on their experience at their respective colleges and their final races. We touch briefly on the transition post college before jumping into our usual shenanigans of random questions.  We had a great time chatting with the boys and can't wait to have them back on for Part 2!  Now available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, and Anchor.

We're back with Episode 3 of Beers and Miles The Elite Files with our guest Alex Burks! After a couple hours recording a couple brews, this episode is full of randomness.

We're back with episode 2 of Beers and Miles The Elite Files with our guest Alex Burks! For this week's episode we take a journey through Alex's post collegiate running career. We cover some major points in Burks' early road racing, from half marathon debuts, a happenstance marathon. We have plenty of wild stories including the 2020 time trials, Orchard Street Runners, and capping it off with the breakthroughs that led him to this point. We ask the important questions and definitely fall off topic more than we should but that's showbiz baby! We loved having Alex on for this episode and we're sure you're going to enjoy listening.

For this week’s episode of Beers and Miles The Elite Files, we are joined by special guest Alex Burks! We had a ton of fun recording with Alex and as such had way too much content for one episode so we’re cutting it into a multi-episode series! Our first episode focuses primarily on Alex’s journey into running, high school running at Mamaroneck High School, and caps off with his collegiate career at SUNY Geneseo. We talk race stories, hidden talents, and another unofficial “official” All-American award. As always, we get horribly off topic throughout but Alex is a good sport.
