Joan Benoit Samuelson sums Rob up best, “His mentoring of young and aspiring athletes has been steadfast, unyielding, passionate, and inspiring.” Rob is a 2 time state champion in cross country, representing Maine School of Science and Mathematics. He attended Bates College where he found lots of success as an endurance athlete. He has run five marathons under 2:25, this includes winning the Maine Marathon in 2013. Rob has 2 top 40 finishes at the prestigious Boston Marathon. He is quite the talented athlete but he is SO much more than a runner.

He has a joy for the process and the process is always changing. It was another wonderful shakeout, with a top notch local legend.

Join us as we shakeout with 2024 Cape Elizabeth grad, Emma Young. Emma was known well for her running talent in high school but she was and still is SO much more than a runner. Emma was a 2024 National STEM Champion where she reported her research on RED-S (Relative Energy Deficiency Syndrome) in High School Cross Country Athletes. She currently attends and runs cross country and track at Rice University. We took the time in this episode to talk to Emma about her research on RED-S. Her passion is clear and so is her message to high school athletes, especially young women. In her words, "Having a strong old lady body down the road is SO much cooler than being fast in high school." Another educational and lovely shakeout.
