How Setbacks Fueled Jane Hedengren: Stories From Winning NXN, Running A HS Girls National Record In The 5k (15:50), And Exclusive Stories Of How She Handled Setback After Setback To Still Win NXN

The NXN Champion returns to the podcast today!

Last month, Jane won NXN in dominant fashion, running a course record time of 16:32 in Portland, Oregon. She won by over 40-seconds in muddy, rainy, cold conditions.  

Two weeks earlier, she recorded the fastest 5K ever in high school girls XC, running a 15:50 in the NXR Southwest race this past November.

She's only the second girl to break 16 on a XC course. 

The Timpview senior is headed to BYU next season. 

She has PRs of 9:45.44 in the 3200, 4:35.69 in the mile, 4:17 in the 1500, and 2:07.85 in the 800, winning 2 state titles and 1 national title.

Her mom, Sarah, ran in high school. Her dad, John Hedengren, ran in high school and was an All American runner at BYU. Her brother Isaac currently runs for BYU.

In today's conversation, Jane takes me through her 2024 XC season and shares many of the setbacks she experienced for the first publically in today's conversation. She walks through how she maintained self-belief through it all and exclusiveinsights on her training, mindset, and more from her 2024 season.
