Podcasts about Nike Oregon Project

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, we talk with author, former professional runner for the Nike Oregon Project and current Irish national runner, and Stanford medical student Mary Cain about her memoir: This is Not About Running. We ask her about her youth, growing up in an abusive athletics system, training for Alberto Salazar as a high schooler. We also talk about her work with Atalanta NYC and The Athlete's Survivors' Assist, her growth and the many hats she wears as a survivor, leader, mentor, student and professional runner. She speaks on what she wishes for young runners today, the challenges we face and where the conversation should be going to enact concrete change.About the BookIn THIS IS NOT ABOUT RUNNING Cain shares her whole story, offering never-before told details and perspective to shed light on the normalized abuse in sports, and advocating for a better future for athletes. Cain is fearless in her storytelling. She has a passion for writing and each short chapter of the book recounts a vignette in present tense, bringing the reader alongside her. She gains speed, notches wins, and excels in school—and encounters cruelty and abuse starting early on and becoming deeper and darker throughout her time running for Nike. The memoir is aptly organized into 5 gripping parts of Mary Cain's young life and they are titled Talent, Rookie, Competitor, Professional and Champion.This episode and book comes with trigger warnings on disordered eating, body shaming, sexual harassment, abuse, self-harm, mental health episodes and suicidal ideation.About Mary CainMary Cain is a medical student at Stanford University School of Medicine. After sharing her story with the world in a 2019 New York Times op-ed, Cain has dedicated her career to driving change in sport, with an emphasis on athlete well-being and gender equity. She is the founder of Atalanta NYC, a nonprofit that employs professional female runners to serve as mentors for young girls, and serves on the board of The Athlete Survivors' Assist (formerly known as The Army of Survivors), a nonprofit that brings awareness, accountability, and transparency to sexual violence against athletes at all levels. She is also a runner. Cain had a record-breaking professional running career that included becoming the 2014 World Junior Champion in the 3000m and a 2013 World Championships finalist in the 1500m.Link for 20% discount on Caffeine Bullet https://caffeinebullet.com/RUNNINGBOOK Discount automatically applied and visible on checkoutSupport the showAny feedback or suggestions on this review or any of our other podcast episodes would be greatly welcomed.

At 17 years old, Mary Cain became one of few females to ever run 800 meters faster than two minutes. Later that year she became the youngest American runner ever to compete in the World Championships. And all the while she says she was facing bullying from coaches and teammates and emotional abuse from Nike Oregon Project coach Alberto Salazar. Cain has written a new memoir, “This is Not About Running,” and joins us to talk about her experiences.

Today's episode spotlights two new books all about running. The Long Run is a history of the marathon by author and running coach Martin Dugard. He spoke with NPR's A Martínez about why so many people aspire to run 26.2 miles, from the history of the marathon in ancient Athens to the 1970s running boom. Then, Mary Cain was a child running prodigy. But she faced physical and emotional abuse at the Nike Oregon Project. She talked to NPR's Juana Summers about her memoir This Is Not About Running, leaving professional running, and her relationship with the sport today.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedaySee pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

"I'm very comfortable not writing perfectly. I think a lot of writers have difficulty writing because they can be such good editors that there's almost this like, inherent need of sometimes rereading the same chapter over and over again and trying to make it perfect. And so I think, for me, I'm very comfortable with the idea of, like, let me just get stuff on paper," says Mary Cain, author of This is Not About Running: A Memoir.It's Mary Cain! She's @runmarycain on Instagram and she serves on the board of The Army of Survivors and the founder of the nonprofit Atalanta NYC which employs professional female runners to serve as mentors to girls in underserved part so the city. For a certain subset of people they're gonna be like, Who dat? To them, I say, Mary was a running prodigy in the 2010s, the fastest high school girl in America and one of the fastest across all ages before the age of 18 in events like the 800 meters and the 1,500. She was recruited by the now disgraced Alberto Salazar for the Nike Oregon Project where she was physically, emotionally, and psychologically abused by Salazar in a win-at-all-costs culture.In 2019, she published a video op-ed with the New York Times that brought down the Nike Oregon Project and Alberto Salazar. It lit a fire and this book is also lighting a firestorm as well.This was a really fun conversation. I was working in specialty running retail when Mary exploded onto the scene, so it was just really cool to chat with her. Part of the appeal for her coming on this show was to talk about the writing, which she's not really going to experience on this book tour, which will primarily be on the running shows. She was very generous with her time and we talked for almost 90 minutes on topics like:Her love of Hemingway Procrastination Writing in the present tense The benefits of reading when you're writing Finishing as a skill Not writing perfectly Sticking to artificial deadlines Seasonality in writing Support networks Starting from pure anger The monetization of fake advocacy And the one sentence she wrote that I wish I wroteMary is a medical student now at STanford University and basically runs for fun. This episode will pair well with my conversations with Maggie Mertens, Christine Yu, Lauren Fleshman and Renee Hess.I had a real blast talking to her and I think you'l enjoy as well. Parting shot on my marathon experience, but for now, here's the super cool Mary Cain.

Professional runner, med student, and newly published author Mary Cain joins Sarah to discuss her memoir “This Is Not About Running" and the decision to use first-person present tense to share her meteoric rise as a running phenom and eventual abuse at the hands of a famed coach. Cain opens up about the struggles she encountered in high school before joining the Nike Oregon Project, the lies she was told as a member of that elite pro team, and the reality of “hot girl” contracts. Plus, another great memoir worth your time and breaking news from a superstar athlete that just so happens to appear in both books.

Text us your thoughts about this episode or ideas for future episodes!After reading her book, "The Longest Race: Inside the Secret World of Abuse, Doping, and Deception on Nike's Elite Running Team", I was eager to connect with Kara Goucher for an in-depth conversation.For those less familiar with the road running scene, Kara was one of the top American distance runners of the 2000s and 2010s, achieving podium finishes at prestigious events like the Boston and New York City Marathons, as well as the 2012 Olympic Marathon Trials. She also claimed victory at the US Half Marathon Championships the same year, among numerous other accolades. In 2004, she joined the Nike Oregon Project, led by distance running legend Alberto Salazar. Behind the scenes, however, Salazar was pushing the boundaries of anti-doping regulations while fostering a toxic culture of misogyny and athlete abuse. Despite the risk of losing everything and facing immense pressure, Kara found the courage to speak out and successfully advocate for meaningful change.In our discussion, we explore various themes from The Longest Race, and we also discuss current events, including her podcast with Des Linden - "Nobody Asked Us", and the challenges with today's anti-doping investigative models.Before we dive in, please note that this episode is a crossover from my guest-hosting stint on the Run To The Top podcast earlier this spring.

On the eve of the Paris Olympics, Kara Goucher joins Ross to put their minds to the fans' dilemma - how do we celebrate the performances we see from the best athletes in the world while we struggle to trust their credibility amidst perverse incentives, suspicious behaviours and an anti-doping system we know is far from effective?Goucher is uniquely positioned to offer insights on this question: an elite athlete who reached the podium in global track and marathon events, she not only saw behind the secretive curtain of doping, but lived it as an athlete in the Nike Oregon Project. She eventually became a whistleblower, before transitioning into a new phase of her sporting life - a commentator for NBC, where she now brings track and field performances to life. But how does she compartmentalise the conflicting emotions of doubt and joy to interpret and promote the best performances ever achieved by athletes? She explains her views, talks candidly about the challenges of being a whistleblower, and how athletes should respond to the mistrust and skepticism directed towards them. Finally, she picks her three best events to watch from Paris, and even offers a potential surprise winner of the men's 1500m gold medal.Show notes:Become a Discourse member and join the conversation.

What does it mean to have power, courage and integrity? We throw those words around a lot when talking about athletes or people we admire. Many times it's justified – but how many truly possess these traits even when the chips are down? Today on the podcast is a human that embodies those three words fully. Her name is Kara Goucher. You might recognize her as an Olympic runner, the third place finisher in the Boston and New York Marathons, and ranked as one of the fastest female distance runners in American history. That's power.And, there's something even more notable to recognize her for – in 2019 and 2023 Kara was instrumental in exposing doping and sexual abuse at the Nike Oregon Project. She put her career and reputation on the line to go up against one of the biggest corporations in the world. That's courage. And integrity. Full stop. Kara put it all in writing in her newest book: The Longest Race: Inside the Secret World of Abuse, Doping, and Deception on Nike's Elite Running Team. Today we celebrate her career in endurance running and dive into the pain and controversy she experienced, the aftermath, and why she is an emblem for those three words: power, courage, and integrity. This is an emotional conversation, and we get into some pretty heavy topics -- but the light Kara represents is so much greater than the darkness she experienced. I hope you'll leave with the knowing that you too have the power to make a difference.I've been looking forward to talking to Kara for a very long time, and I'm excited to share her brilliance with you.With Fire,MG-----WATCH this episode on our YouTube channel.Connect with us on our Instagram.Order my book, "The First Rule of Mastery" HERE!For more information and shownotes from every episode, head to findingmastery.com.To check out our exclusive sponsor deals and discounts CLICK HERESee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Alberto Salazar was once the most revered running coach in the world, leading athletes including Mo Farah to the very top of their game. But, in 2019, Salazar was banned from athletics for violating anti doping rules. This week's guest, Steve Magness, had worked alongside him at the Nike Oregon Project – and he was the whistleblower whose claims were followed up by a BBC Panorama and Pro Publica investigation, leading, ultimately, to Salazar's downfall. It's fascinating to hear Steve explaining his role in what is a truly incredible tale. While he says being a whistleblower led to a traumatic nine-year period of his life, he says he doesn't regret it. And what he learned during that time informed his most recent book – called Do Hard Things. He busts myths around what toughness and resilience really mean – toughness isn't about projecting confidence, it's about uncovering authenticity - and encourages people to question what doing hard things really means. It's not just about the more obvious stuff, like running marathons, and taking ice baths – but about being authentic, having hard conversations through to sitting still and doing nothing. In this episode:Overcoming the doubting voice in the headSteve's key role in exposing high-profile athletics coach Alberto Salazar The importance of not being dependent on achievement and success to ‘fill an internal hole'How his view of athletics has been tainted by the Salazar experience‘Tyrant leaders' who rely on fear to motivateThe similarities between good leadership and parentingThe four key pillars of doing hard thingsConfidence is quiet and insecurity is loudThe importance of being ‘secure but flexible'Self or no self - do we really need to have a conceptual identity?Avoiding emotions & embracing boredomWhy often the hardest thing is doing nothingEmbracing having hard conversationsSteve Magness' website: http://www.stevemagness.com/Twitter: https://twitter.com/stevemagness**MyTwitter: https://twitter.com/simonmundieInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/simonmundie/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/simon-mundie-89379114/And for the 'Mundie on Monday' newsletter - featuring three of the best Life Lessons from four years and 200 of these conversations - head to simonmundie.com (where you can also drop me an email)Please do share this episode - it makes a big difference in helping people find this podcast.Thank you.

"It just felt like the right time. My body hasn't held up to the training necessary to compete. There's nothing I can really do about it. I'm so thankful for the career that I had. It's led me to some of the best connections and relationships in my life. I couldn't imagine I would've got this far when I started. The competitor in me believes there are things I could've done that I didn't but that's how it goes in this sport. You're never going to be truly satisfied." After eight years of running professionally, Eric Jenkins has retired. The announcement was made on the latest episode of The CITIUS MAG Podcast. The Portsmouth, New Hampshire native finished his career with personal bests of 3:35.94 for 1500m; 3:53.23 for the mile, 13:05.85 for 5000m and 27:22.06 for 10,000m.  He broke out as a junior at Northeastern when he ran 7:46.21 to finish second in the 3,000m at the NCAA Indoor Championships (the ninth-fastest performance in NCAA history at the time) only to be DQ'ed controversially. He went on to transfer to Oregon and finished second at the 2014 NCAA Cross Country Championships before winning two individual indoor titles at 3000m and 5000m. Jenkins graduated and signed with Nike and spent time working under Alberto Salazar and the Nike Oregon Project, Pete Julian and the Union Athletics Club and Andy Powell.

In this episode, Alan and Liz chat about Kara Goucher's recently released book, The Longest Race. They'll tell you what they learned, what they thought, and why they wanted to read the book in the first place.Kara Goucher grew up with Olympic dreams. She excelled at running from a young age and was offered a Nike sponsorship deal when she graduated from college. Then in 2004, she was invited to join a secretive, lavishly funded new team, dubbed the Nike Oregon Project. Coached by distance running legend Alberto Salazar, it seemed like the opportunity of a lifetime. Although Alberto initially let her train with the team because he was more interested in her husband Adam, his focus shifted once she won a World Championship medal. She later went to the Olympics, and stood on the podium at the New York and Boston marathons, just like her coach. Those podiums are what the world saw, but behind the scenes, Salazar pushed the limits of anti-doping rules, and created what Kara experienced as a culture of abuse, the extent of which she reveals in her book for the first time. Meanwhile, Nike stood by Alberto for years and proved itself capable of shockingly misogynistic corporate practices.Kara Goucher is a three-time NCAA champion, two-time Olympian, winner of the silver medal at the 2007 World Championships in the 10,000 meters, and a podium finisher at the Boston and New York Marathons. She is a running analyst for NBC Sports. She cohosts the hit running commentary podcast Nobody Asked Us with Des & Kara, as well as the Clean Sport Collective podcast, promoting fair play in sports. She lives in Boulder, Colorado, with her Olympic-runner husband, Adam, and their son, Colt. Her website is KaraGoucher.com.Mary Pilon is a journalist focused primarily on the worlds of sports and business. She is the author of the bestselling books "The Monopolists" and "The Kevin Show," the co-editor of “Losers: Dispatches From the Other Side of the Scoreboard,” and co-host and co-author of the audio series “Twisted: The Story of Larry Nassar and the Women Who Brought Him Down.” Her work regularly appears in the New Yorker, Esquire, Bloomberg BusinessWeek, Vice, New York, and The New York Times, among other publications. She has worked as a producer with NBC at the 2016 Rio Olympics and on HBO's forthcoming documentary “BS High.” She is currently co-directing a documentary about pickleball for Peter Berg's Film 45. Pilon previously was a staff reporter with The Times on the sports desk and at The Wall Street Journal, where she covered various aspects of business and finance. A native of Eugene, Ore., Mary started reporting for her hometown paper, the Register-Guard, as a teenager.If you're interested in getting a copy of this book, you can find it on Amazon here: https://www.amazon.ca/Longest-Race-Inside-Deception-Running/dp/1982179147Support the showAny feedback or suggestions on this review or any of our other podcast episodes would be greatly welcomed.

Accomplished Olympic runner and The Longest Race author Kara Goucher shares how she and her partner were invited to join the prestigious Nike Oregon Project and coach Alberto Salazar, how Alberto's methods seemed effective at first but became more controlling and inappropriate over time, what led her to become a whistleblower, and the stark contrast she eventually saw with a healthy coaching relationship.

Warning: This episode contains discussion of disordered eating and emotional and sexual abuse. In this episode, I interview Kara Goucher on her just-released book The Longest Race. In the book, she shares details about her running journey and time with the Nike Oregon Project that she has never shared. You must listen and read to learn more. Listen and then go buy the book if you haven't already. It's a powerful, emotional, and inspirational read.

In this episode, Des interviews Kara on her new book The Longest Race: Inside the Secret World of Abuse, Doping, and Deception on Nike's Elite Running Team.  You will have to listen and read to learn more, but Des and Kara talk about several elements of Kara's story including never-before-revealed details about her time with the Nike Oregon Project. 

We had such a life-affirming interview with one of our all-time heroes, Kara Goucher! Kara became famous as one of the best runners in the world, winning 3 national championships in college, a silver medal in the 10k at the World Championships, and making 2 Olympic teams. But the running accolades are just the start of her journey. Kara embraces the whole community, persevering through her own adversity to uplift and inspire others. She co-hosts the "Nobody Asked Us" podcast with Des Linden, which debuted as the most successful running podcast on the planet. She does live announcing for distance running on ESPN and NBC. And in March, her book "The Longest Race" is coming out, and it's already getting rave reviews! On the episode, she describes her journey from being a kid in Minnesota to an international superstar. Our admiration for her is not about the running achievements. It's about all of the moments during that journey when she faced adversity, felt the emotions, and came back swinging! Kara proved doubters wrong (including the doubter in her own head). She courageously spoke her truth and confronted abusive practices at the Nike Oregon Project. And now, she's telling her story to model vulnerability and strength for everyone else that might have doubts in their own lives. We absolutely love Kara, and we can't wait for you to hear this interview! For a weekly bonus episode (and bi-weekly newsletter), make sure you're subscribed to our Patreon. We love you all! WOOHOO!

Doing Hard things is a mantra that is front and centre of everything that's done at The Roadman Cycling Podcast offices. Steve Magness is a pro on the subject. So much so that he wrote a book on it. Steve was a successful running coach in the Nike Oregon Project and it was he who eventually blew the whistle on Alberto Salazar and the morally corrupt practices within the organisation.

Who remembers the Nike Oregon Project!? Before the Mo Farah dynasty began, there was this group in Oregon doing crazy workouts under the radar that dared to stand up to the East African dominance at the distance events. At long last, the 2012 Olympics came along for a chance to knock out Kenenisa Bekele - widely known as the greatest track and field distance runner of all-time - who was coming off back to back Gold medals in this event. What happened out there? Who were the favorites going in? What was the legacy of this race? We take a full deep-dive, here on the 10-year anniversary of this historic race.

This week's guest on the Pacey Performance Podcast is Vern Gambetta. It would be no exaggeration to say it would easier to list the things Vern hasn't done – he's currently the Director of Gambetta Sports Training Systems and has been a conditioning coach for several MLS teams, the Nike Oregon Project, Chicago Bulls, and was conditioning consultant to the US Men's World Cup Soccer team, plus much more. Vern's experience spans 53 years at all levels of competition after starting out in teaching. From here, Vern explains the value in the ‘old school' attitudes and methods, and how that can translate into modern day coaching with skills that are now often in short supply. He also outlines how to strike a balance between being a specialist or generalist coach, with an interesting debate with Rob on how many coaches can be too quick to label themselves in a certain way. Vern discusses how social media can be highly misleading for younger coaches, promoting a ‘perfect' way of doing things that cannot be replicated in competition. However, he also talks about the opportunities available for coaches now that weren't always an option. For all this and much more, hit play now to hear what someone who has done it all has to say about the industry. On this week's podcast: How Vern started in teaching, and how he calls upon that experience now How Vern believes younger coaches can tap into that educational background Whether it could be better to be a specialist or a generalist The importance of being adaptable in training and not turning athletes into “robots” Avoiding hamstring injuries from research dating back to the 1970s The influence of track coaches on team coaches when it comes to developing speed Why not to believe social media when searching for the “perfect” drills Potential opportunities for younger coaches in the next 5 to 10 years Where to find more advice from Vern's vast experience

Joining us live from Beacon, New York last weekend was Mary Cain. We gathered at Tracksmith's Outpost in Beacon, where they're set up for the summer. After a trail run up Mount Beacon on Sunday, we had a BBQ in the back yard of the Outpost and got to listen to Tina and Mary have this conversation.    In this conversation with Mary, we go beyond touching on her Nike Oregon Project experience and her New York Time Article, I was the Fastest Girl in America Until I joined Nike. We get to learn from Mary about how she found a new relationship with running and how we can all be a little gentler on ourselves. We hear about her new non-profit, Atlalanta NYC that she's launching, while working with Tracksmith and the New York Road Runners. We hear Mary's wise wisdom on life, the future of running, and being yourself.      In this episode we cover… Atlalanta NYC, Mary's latest creation– the first professional team in New York City. It's the first of it's kind doing community service work within the broader New York City area,  serving as mentors to younger female girls and  bringing on a team of professional women to help make the sport a better place for everybody.  Outcome-based models of success versus growth-based models of success. Thinking about our lives and running with a growth mindset instead of being attached to an outcome allows us to blossom as individuals.  On the importance of being okay with change. “It's okay for things to change with time. We're all learning, we're all growing in, our society is changing with time. Change is a really beautiful and  positive thing and growth should never be treated as a dangerous thing.” Her analogy of pretending to run with an egg in your hand will help you feel more relaxed and help you be a better runner. The more you hold on tight and clench your fist, the more likely you're going to break and burn out early. She shares the key is to relax and hold it gently for the majority of your race, then on the last 400 meters you can drop the egg and finish strong.    Mary's interview was so special in that it was such an intimate atmosphere for a live podcast and she really embodies what Running for Real stands for, being real and being yourself.    Resources:  Mary Cain IG   Atlalanta NYC   Rich Roll and Mary Cain   Thank you to Tracksmith, Picky Bars, and Beam for sponsoring this episode.   Tracksmith is a Boston based running clothing company that truly cares about the quality and care of their running clothes.

Director Paul Kemp’s film Nike’s Big Bet: Alberto Salazar and the Fine Line of Sport premiered at this year’s Hot Docs Film Festival and has been catching the eyes of running fans. In the Film, Kemp takes a look at the good and the bad of Alberto Salzar’s work with the Nike Oregon Project, with focus on Salzar’s Doping violation suspension, Mary Cain’s New York Times piece on her time with the Project, and oddly enough, super shoes. Joined by the silver medalist at the 1997 ITU World Duathlon Championships, and a CCAA Cross Country Coach of the year who saw the Fanshawe Falcons Cross Country teams to a great amount of perennial success, John Loney, we review the film and discuss the good and the bad, as well as how it stacks up against the gold standard of running films, Without Limits.

In this episode we speak with award-winning documentary film director, writer and producer Paul Kemp. Paul's most recent film, Nike's Big Bet: Alberto Salazar and the Fine Line of Sport premiered last week at the Hot Docs Film Festival. This documentary explores the coaching career of Alberto Salazar during his time with the now defunct Nike Oregon Project. It tackles the question of whether Salazar, who is currently under anti-doping and SafeSport sanctions, is a villain, a hero, or something in between.   Check out Nike's Big Bet at the Hot Docs Film Festival through May 9th.Learn more about The Shakeout Podcast and Canadian Running Magazine on our website https://runningmagazine.ca/category/shakeout-podcast/Follow The Shakeout Podcast on Twitter https://twitter.com/ShakeoutPodcastInstagram https://www.instagram.com/shakeoutpodcast/ andFacebook https://www.facebook.com/theshakeoutpodcast/Subscribe to our weekly show on Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-shakeout-podcast/id1224828899243

CW: This episode mentions eating disorders, psychological abuse, and attempted suicide Rosie Cruz has exhibited immense strength and bravery in sharing her story, and the entire story of psychological abuse, enabled disordered eating, and physical and emotional harm in the Loyola Marymount University (LMU) Cross Country and Track programs. This story is not new. We've heard it before. It carries different names every time—Nike Oregon Project, Wesleyan University, University of Arizona, etc. There is a problem in the sport of distance running, and especially in the NCAA. Only through strong voices like Rosie's can we push for systemic change. Rosie is a Division I cross country and track runner for Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles. She is a senior studying Political Science and Women's Studies, and currently works as a legislative aide for Colorado State Representative, Lindsey Daugherty. Rosie is passionate about running, politics, social justice, and being outdoors. Discussed in this episode: --Rosie's open letter about abuse in LMU program, March 26th --Rosie's open letter to the NCAA, March 27th --32:04: the term "ghost pains" and minimizing women's pain --35:05: social media stalking and manipulation --44:50: “When you talk about abuse, people don't believe you unless you have bruises on you.

My guest today is professional distance runner Mary Cain. She's currently 24 and living in New York. For those of you not familiar with her story already, we'll take you back for a moment to 2013 when Mary was a 17 year old track & field phenom. She was breaking records left and right and signed with what was then considered the best track team in the world -- the Nike Oregon Project. To the surprise of many, Mary's performances actually began to decline after training with the Oregon project full-time. She eventually left the team, and last November Mary came forward with her story of training with Nike in what we now know to be an abusive, destructive training environment, characterized with the coach's obsession with lowering her bodyweight to improve performance.To quote the New York Times article on her story from last fall, “Cain found herself choosing between training with the best team in the world, or potentially developing osteoporosis or even infertility. She lost her period for three years and broke five bones. She went from being a once-in-a-generation Olympic hopeful to having suicidal thoughts.” I'm sure this is never an easy experience for her to discuss, so I really appreciated her openness and her positivity. It's so important for the sport to have positive voices like Mary's, and we shouldn't take those for granted.Recently, Mary signed on with the Boston-based running brand, Tracksmith, not only as a sponsored runner, but as an employee. I was excited to ask her about this new form of brand athlete relationship, and of course about what her life has been like since coming out with her story. As a fan of the sport and as a fan of Mary's, this was really a privilege for me.Find Mary:Mary's NY Times ArticleInstagramTwitterFacebookTracksmithFind Momentous:LiveMomentousInstagramFacebookTwitterYoutube

Alan Webb, Ryan Hall, and Dathan Ritzenhein rose to prominence in the early 2000s as members of the high school class of 2001. For their accomplishments as teens -- which included two Foot Locker Cross Country titles for Ritzenhein and a 3:53 high school mile record for Webb -- they were christened the "Big 3." Ever since, their careers have been linked, with each going on to break American records as professionals -- Webb in the mile (3:46.91), Ritzenhein in the 5,000 meters (12:56.27, since broken), and Hall in the half marathon (59:43). Hall also is still the fastest American ever at the marathon (2:04:58) from 2011 Boston. Ritzenhein joined Webb and Hall in retirement earlier this month, marking the end of an era in American distance running. The Big 3 bridged the gap between the low point of American distance running in the 1990s and the success of the late 2000s and 2010s, where it has become common for Americans to bring home medals from global championships. Amazingly, until Ritzenhein's retirement, Ritz, Webb, and Hall had never before gathered for a three-way conversation. We thought we had generated an incredible idea for LetsRun -- until Hall revealed he had had the same idea for his own podcast, which was published Wednesday! But the three of them had such a good time talking that they agreed to gather on Zoom for a second interview with LetsRun this week. Find out why Ritz had Webb's face on his dartboard as a high schooler, how Webb was able to beat Ritzenhein in their famous 10k showdown in 2006, which performances each believes was the best from their careers, their biggest lessons from the sport, Webb and Ritz's thoughts on their time with the Nike Oregon Project and Alberto Salazar's ban, and much more. And when you're done, be sure to check out Hall's podcast - https://anchor.fm/runfree/episodes/Episode-40-The-Big-Three-come-together-for-a-first-ever-three-way-conversation--Dathan-Ritzenhein--Alan-Webb--and-myself-eeanvt where the Big 3 talk about their first encounters and what it was like racing each other as high schoolers.

In this episode, hosted by FasterSkier contributor Rachel Perkins, we dive into the issue of Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S). This condition was formerly known as the female athlete triad, which was described as inadequate energy intake, the loss of menstruation (amenorrhea), and decreased bone mineral density. The name was changed to include males, who are also affected, and to expand beyond the three symptoms originally included. Though not quite the same, the condition is closely linked with eating disorders.This topic has seen a lot of buzz following a November opinion piece in the New York Times where former high school running phenom Mary Cain shared her story of abuse by her coach, Alberto Salazar, at the Nike Oregon Project. While trying to get down to the weight he deemed optimal for her, she lost her period, her performance decreased, and she was littered with stress fractures.Further concerns arose a few weeks later when Ingvild Flugstad Oestberg and Frida Karlsson were pulled from their World Cup starts after not meeting team health standards for BMI and bone density, presumably due to under eating. We speak with licensed professional counselor and two-time Olympian Holly Brooks, registered sports dietician and author of “Finding Your Sweet Spot: How to Avoid RED-S (Relative Energy Deficit in Sport) by Optimizing Your Energy Balance” Rebecca McConville, and long-time coach turned voice of World Cup cross country skiing and biathlon, Chad Salmela. This panel unpacks the misunderstanding that RED-S is an exclusively female phenomenon and how the climate in sport influences the prevalence of this condition, and offers suggestions to shift from a results focused climate in sport to a positive, informed, healthy, and athlete centric program. Here are links to the resources and articles mentioned in this episode:Jessie Diggins Eating Disorder ActivismLauren Fleshman's New York Times Opinion Piece “I Changed My Body for My Sport. No Girl Should.” and letter to her younger self, which was posted to MileSplit.The WithAll Foundation and the "What To Say" campaign, which  offers suggestions for talking to food and body positive phrases to include in conversations with kids and athletes. HBO Documentary “The Norwegian Way” which details the Norwegian development program, in particular the omission of results in youth skiing before the age of 12.  The IOC Periodic Health Evaluation statement regarding more regular health screenings, including bone density measurement and blood laboratory work. The National Eating Disorder Association (NEDA) “Coaches & Trainers' Toolkit”The Opal Treatment Center and Podcast

In this episode of The Endurance Experience Podcast I speak with Dr. Margo Mountjoy, M.D., PhD. Dr. Mountjoy is a member of the International Olympic Committee Medical Commission Games Group. Their work went into the updated IOC Consensus statement that broadened the explanation of the Female Athlete Triad into what we know now to be RED-S and the performance and health implications for athletes. We have a discussion about the fallout of the Nike Oregon Project, Mary Cain's testimony in her New York Times Op Ed, and the health and performance implications of RED-S on athletes.About Dr. Mountjoyhttps://fammedmcmaster.ca/our-people/faculty-directory/bios/margo-mountjoyIOC Consensus Statement: Beyond the Female Athlete Triad-Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S)https://bjsm.bmj.com/content/48/7/491.full?sid=7cbc2e68-bff8-4661-9d43-a2ef31539d2dRED-S Cat Tool:https://bjsm.bmj.com/content/49/7/421?sid=7cbc2e68-bff8-4661-9d43-a2ef31539d2dMargo Mountjoy RED-S Lecturehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GlV5mVOGo1cDr. Mountjoy's Twitter:@margomountjoyFollow Us:Facebook: https://Facebook.com/EventHorizon.TvTwitter: https://twitter.com/EventHorizonTvInstagram: https://instagram.com/eventhorizon.tvYouTube: https://youtube.com/c/EventHorizonTvSupport Us:https://Patreon.com/Endurancehttps://paypal.me/EnduranceExperience

Lindsey is a specialist in Sports Dietetics with a background working with athletes at all levels, including Division 1 NCAA and with the US military. She owns a nutrition coaching business called Rise Up Nutrition where she supports athletes of all levels, ages and sports to learn healthy nutrition around their performance goals. She works extensively with people who suffer with RED-S and focuses on getting them back to their sport as heathy athletes. We discuss her own background as a runner at University and her own brush with disordered eating. We look more carefully at her programme for RED-S recovery: the Female Athlete System of Transformation. Finally we discuss the recent revelations by Mary Cain about her experiences at the Nike Oregon Project and how her weight became a tool for abuse and toxic bullying, leading her to suffer from stress fractures and drop out of the sport while still in her early 20s. We address how Mary's interview has been received in the running community and the ignorance of these issues that her story has revealed.
