Mike also opens up about life beyond the Games: the struggle to find the right coach, the decision to step away from elite racing, and the emotional toll of a cancer diagnosis. Wrapping up, he shares his reflections on the U.S. collegiate running environment and what it's taught him about athlete development and culture.
