Road Racing Changed Everything for Graydon Morris | Journey To Gold Zone Podcast

Graydon Morris joins Journey To Gold Zone to reflect on the path from high school standout to rediscovering himself as a professional runner. The four-time Foot Locker champion opens up about struggling to find confidence during his college years at TCU, and how road racing helped him reconnect with the competitiveness and freedom he felt he had lost.

Morris discusses winning his first national title in the 10 Mile Championships, running 1:01 in the half marathon, and why he still wants to accomplish more on the track before making his marathon debut. He also dives deep into race fueling, caffeine gels, bicarb strategy, training alongside marathoners, and the differences between preparing for road races versus track events.

From mental toughness to rebuilding belief in himself, this episode explore the mindset behind Morris' resurgence and what's next in his return to the track.
