Jared Ward: Lessons From a Legend

Road to the Trials welcomes Olympian Jared Ward, fresh off a year in the UK completing an MBA, for a focused conversation on sustainable high-performance training and mindset. Jared explains how he’s reframed workouts as stimulus for long-term adaptation, what he learned from the 2016 Trials and sixth place in Rio, and why he’s still chasing meaningful goals while balancing family life and health.

Topics include: returning to Utah’s training group and coach Ed “Easy E” Eyestone, managing Hashimoto’s, the “probability bubbles” approach from 2016, a Boston PR built partly on the treadmill, a Hobble Creek cattle-tempo tale, thoughts on 2016 auto-qualifiers for 2028, and a fall tune-up at the Philadelphia Half.
