Ep. 138 - Chasing Senior State Glory And The Elusive Sub-4 Barrier With 4:04 Miler Kade Brownell

Today on the show is none other than Kade Brownell, the legend of Mt. Spokane.

Yes, you heard that right, Kade is one of the top runners in Washington’s 3A classification and a total beast on the track. He’s clocked some insane times: 1:52 for 800m, 4:04 for the mile, and 8:51 for 3200m. The reason I had him on the show today? Kade is not only gearing up for a shot at breaking 4 minutes in the mile at the Brooks PR Invitational this June, but he also just pulled off a gutsy double win in the 1600m and 3200m at his district championships – all while sick. Oh, and he closed the last lap of the 3200m in 54 seconds. Absolutely wild.

Mt. Spokane is no joke either. The boys’ and girls’ teams both won district titles, making them serious contenders for the state championship. This school is dominating Washington’s running scene.

In this episode, Kade and I dive into all of it. We talk about the insane depth of Washington’s track talent, what it’s like chasing that elusive sub-4 barrier, how he overcame tearing both of his menisci, and what he hopes to accomplish in the final stretch of his high school career.

Before we dive in, I need to ask you for a quick favor. If you haven’t already, please give this podcast a follow and a five-star review on whatever platform you’re listening on. It helps me bring you amazing guests like Kade and keeps the show growing as we celebrate the sport of track and field together.

I hope you enjoy this episode of The Sunday Shakeout!
