Episode Notes

Jess Hull joins the show from hotel quarantine in Sydney’s Darling Harbour. Jess is fresh back in Australia after an incredible 2020 season that saw her break three national records – she now holds the 1500m, 3000m, and 5000m national records at the age of just 23.

Jess reviews her 2020 season and gives herself a harsh B+ grade for the year. She speaks about the adjustment from college athlete to professional, and pays tribute to her teammates for helping her settle so easily into the professional lifestyle - in particular Jess has learned a lot from Shannon Rowbury. Speaking of her team, Jess says the main reason she signed with Pete Julian’s group at Nike was because of athletes like Konstanze Klosterhalfen – athletes who could challenge and drop Jess in workouts.

Jess also talks about her plans for the summer and the reason she’s back in Australia for a couple of months.
