High school senior Josiah Tostenson, renowned for running the second-fastest indoor mile in U.S. high school history, joins the show today to dive into his recent triumph at BU in February and share his excitement for the upcoming New Balance Nationals in Boston this March.

Josiah and Tayvon Kitchen (of Crater High School in Oregon) became the first high school teammates to both run sub 4-minute miles indoors in the same meet at the Terrier DMR Challenge at BU.

Josiah is committed to Washington to become a Husky in the fall of 2025, joining recent guest (and all-time high school mile record-holder), Owen Powell. Josiah signed an NIL deal with New Balance in 2024.

Josiah has indoor PRs of 2:27.64 in the 1,000m, 3:41.32 in the 1,500m, and 7:57.42 in the 3,000m. Outdoor PRs include 1:52.00 in the 800m, 8:39.89 in the 3,200m, and 14:23.90 in the 5,000m.

Josiah was named Gatorade 2023-24 Track and Field Boys Player of the Year. He also serves as the primary caretaker for his father, who is battling Parkinson’s Disease. Josiah has shown copious amounts of versatility and resilience in his short time as a star runner, and is poised to be a top contender next year in the NCAA.

In today’s conversation, Josiah takes me through his training, mindset, his progression in sport (including running 4:09 in the Mile as a freshman), his 3:57 Mile at BU, his thoughts on the class of 2025, what he wants to accomplish in the future, and so much more.

This one was such a blast, and I hope you are all as inspired by Josiah's story as I was.
