For the 9th installment of the Runners Who Read Podcast, Olivia sits down with Kara Goucher, the best-selling author of The Longest Race: Inside the Secret World of Abuse, Doping, and Deception on Nike's Elite Running Team. In addition to being an author, she is also a 2x Olympian, analyst for NBC, and co-host on multiple podcasts. During her collegiate running career at the University of Colorado Boulder, she was a 3xNCAA Champion. She then went on in her professional career to win a silver medal at the 2007 World Championships in the 10,000m, record podium finishes in the Boston and New York Marathons, and compete in the 2008 and 2012 Olympics. Off the track, 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 has also established herself as a top running analyst for NBC, regularly providing on-air commentary at many of the biggest events throughout the track and field season.   In this conversation from June, 2023 between two seasoned veterans of the professional track and field world, we discuss all things elite athletics and no topic is off limits. From healthy eating to clean sport, Kara's experience with the Nike Oregon Project, and the state of track and field today, Kara holds nothing back. Does she believe that justice was served by the dissolution of the Oregon Project? What is her relationship with running like today? How is she working to ensure the track and field is a clean sport going forward? The answers to these questions and more are addressed in this important discussion.   Follow Kara: Instagram: @karagoucher X: @karagoucher   More Information on Runners Who Read: https://www.atlantatrackclub.org/runners-who-read  

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 today's show, we are talking with Kara Goucher author of “The Longest Race: Inside the Secret World of Abuse, Doping, and Deception on Nike's Elite Running Team”, which chronicles her ascent from Olympic aspirations to the Nike Oregon Project, led by Alberto Salazar, where she unveils a culture of abuse and doping, shedding light on the shadows of elite running.  Goucher's resilience and advocacy, despite corporate complicity, ignited a call for reform in the sport, offering a powerful narrative of empowerment and action. In this conversation, we talk about: the nature of Alberto Salazaar and the Oregon Project and what made the opportunity so appealing initially for athletes like Kara the value of taking responsibility and action to fix something that's wrong the fear of being a whistleblower and possibly ostracized by the running community her next act in the running community including broadcasting, podcasting, and ambassadorship among other important roles how she feels about the state of pro running and whether it's driven by cynicism or optimism  And more.

On this week's 51%, we speak with long-distance runner and two-time Olympian Kara Goucher about her daring new memoir, The Longest Race: Inside the Secret World of Abuse, Doping, and Deception on Nike's Elite Running Team. A former member of Nike's fallen Oregon Project, Goucher sheds light on the toxic culture and predatory leadership she says she faced from the team's disgraced running coach, Alberto Salazar. Salazar was banned from the sport for life in 2021 following a sexual misconduct investigation by the U.S. Center for SafeSport. In her new memoir, Goucher publicly identifies herself as the woman behind those allegations for the first time.

A team of journalists at the university of Oregon spent the past year and a half delving deep into an issue that turned out to be exceptionally timely – what to do with young Oregonians who were convicted of serious crimes as juveniles.Current and former UO students and a journalism professor at the school produced a documentary and a podcast series that examines Oregon's landmark mandatory minimum sentence law that voters approved decades ago. Since then, Oregon has taken steps to soften the legal blow for young people convicted of Measure 11 crimes but it was not retroactive. The project is dropping just as Governor Brown is considering what to do with dozens of young people who are serving time for these crimes On this episode, we hear from Ed Madison and Jordan Bentz. Madison is a journalism professor at the University of Oregon. Bentz is a freelance producer who partnered with Madison and the young journalists on the project We talked about these young people, including one the main characters in the series, Ricky Gaters, who was convicted of robbery and assault before he turned 18. We talked about measure 11 and its history, what victims advocates have to say about reforms and more.Related:The UO project page See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

“I think because of the way I started running, with my Grandpa, it wasn't about performance, it was about time with him…running was this whole thing built around friendships...I think I've always been able to go back to that place, that's what gotten me through some of those rough points.” Kara Goucher is a two-time Olympian and is known as one of the most decorated athletes in American distance running history. She currently works as an Athlete Advisor at Oiselle and is part of Team Altra. Kara was a three-time NCAA Champion and a seven-time All-American during her time as a University of Colorado Buff. Prior to representing the United States at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games in the 5k/10k and the 2012 London Games in the marathon, she was a 10,000m Silver Medalist at the 2007 World Championships. Outside of competition, Kara is known for her strong voice and advocacy. She was an early whistleblower on doping violations within the Oregon Project (her former team/training program) which led to the coach's ban from the sport and public conversations around clean sport within the running community. Kara is now one of the hosts and creators of the Clean Sport Collective Podcast. In this conversation, I learn more about Kara's relationship to place, specifically Boulder, CO, and her transition from professional running to race commentating. We also talk about her recent return to running and re-discovering the joy and connectivity of the sport through her son's eyes.   In This Episode: Oiselle BOLDERBoulder10k – Boulder, CO Clean Sport Collective Podcast, hosted by Kara Goucher, Shanna Burnette, & Chris McClung   Follow Kara Goucher: Instagram: @karagoucher Twitter: @karagoucher Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/KaraGoucher   Follow Grounded Pod: Instagram: @groundedpod Twitter: @groundedpod Facebook: facebook.com/groundedpodwithdinee   Subscribe, Listen, & Review on: Spotify | Apple Podcasts | Soundcloud | Stitcher   Music by Jacob Shije (Santa Clara Pueblo, NM).   This podcast was made possible through the Tracksmith Fellowship Program.

Mary Cain has been called “the fastest girl in a generation.” Mary has been been breaking records since she was a young teen. Mary was the 2014 World Junior Champion in the 3000 meter and she is the youngest American track and field athlete ever to represent the United States at a World Championships meet after competing in the World Championships in Athletics in Moscow at the age of 17. In 2013, Mary joined the greatest track team in the world, Nike's Oregon Project, and, as a result of an abusive coach and system, it nearly ruined her career. In 2019, Mary spoke up about the abuse she experienced and soon after launched a non-profit called Atalanta NYC. This organization employs and supports professional female runners so they can achieve their highest athletic goals and helps those same runners serve as core mentors for the youth mentoring program.  Follow Mary on Instagram and Twitter.

A cornerstone of this podcast is the power of sport to catalyze personal and societal change, cultivate confidence, and ultimately transform lives.But what happens when sport breaks you?If you've listened to my conversations with Lindsay Crouse and Lauren Fleshman, you know this story is all too familiar within athletic institutions—particularly Nike. Today's guest is busting this paradigm.Meet Mary Cain.Established as the fastest girl in a generation by the time she reached high school, Mary was only 16 when she qualified for the Olympic Trials. At 17, she became the youngest American track and field athlete to make a world championship, competing in Moscow in the 1500 meters.Olympic glory seemed a foregone conclusion. Until that is, she joined Nike's elite Oregon Project team run by infamous coach Alberto Salazar.And that's when everything changed.Under severe pressure from Salazar and others to lose weight, her mental and physical health began to crumble. Ultimately, her body collapsed—and her running career behind it. Then she just disappeared.Until November of 2019 that is, when Mary broke her silence on what happened and why, bravely exposing the abusive system that derailed her in a New York Times Video OpEd entitled, “I Was the Fastest Girl in America, Until I joined Nike”.Here's the thing about Mary: she's emerged from this whole experience stronger—both as an athlete and as an advocate resolute on creating positive change for the next generation of female athletes.Now 25, she continues to run while serving as the New York Community Manager for the running apparel brand Tracksmith.In addition, this podcast announces her new role as CEO of Atalanta, a new NYC-based elite running team & community non-profit Mary founded with the dual mission of promoting running community, inclusivity & diversity, while also rewriting the rule book on professional women's athletics.Today we get into all of it.To read more click here.

“Most of my life was spent chasing times, mainly because I ran really fast in high school—a 4:01 as you mentioned—and when you un 4:01, you know, it's always in your head that, ‘Oh man, there's a second and change that I can get out of my body to get in that elusive, venerated sub-4 club,' so you think and you obsess over times and I certainly did to an unhealthy degree in my college and a little bit in my post-college life as well. So I think coming to terms with, and realizing and recognizing that that doesn't really matter anymore, was something that was incredibly freeing for myself.” Steve Magness wears many hats in the worlds of running and performance. He's been the head cross-country coach and assistant track coach at the University of Houston since 2012 and he's also worked with numerous professional athletes at the Olympic and world championship level. He's the coauthor of Peak Performance and The Passion Paradox, both of which he wrote with former podcast guest Brad Stulberg, and he's also the author of The Science of Running. Steve also co-hosts two podcasts, On Coaching, which dives deep into the art and science of training and coaching for runners, and The Growth Equation, a weekly no-bullshit discussion on well-being and performance. As an athlete in the early 2000s, Steve was one of the top scholastic runners in the country, running 4:01 in the mile—which, at the time, was the 6th fastest high school mile in U.S. history. This was an awesome conversation and I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I did taking part in it. Steve told me about how he spends and splits his time amongst his various interests and pursuits, what his relationship with running looks like these days, and how he's channeled his competitive instincts throughout his life. We discussed how the past year has challenged him as a coach, the lack of checks and balances in the sport of track and field, and why he believes the sport has a long way to go before it can be considered truly “professional.” We also talked about what spurred his interest in coaching, how his time at The Oregon Project affected his outlook and trajectory as a coach, and a lot more.

I need to share with you a story from 1994. Picture it, the start of the Comrades marathon. 9 times winner Bruce Fordyce, at the start. It's a perfect day as the runners head off through the dark Durban streets, starting their climb. Now remember this is 1994.. when you still had a Walkman, South Africa had its first multi racial elections, Tonya Harding… skater, who took out her rival… how's that for a strategy… Brazil wins the world cup, If the gloves don't fit… that white Bronco driving down the highway with what was it 10 20 police cars? Ok, and now… back to the comrades.. just shy of 90 kilometers, from Durban to Pietermaritzburg. And at 21KM a man with a strange surname takes the lead. Well… ok… Salazar is it even worth to try and pronounce his name? He is participating the first time, and Bruce will win this one… just wait and see. Now back in '94, this day was the only day that in our household the TV was on. Actually, it's the only day there was something being shown. See the Comrades is THE event, and coverage actually started as soon as it was daylight. I remember this race so clearly, as the race went on, more details emerged about the runner leading the pack. Alberto Salazar. Turns out he was a Boston winner… but that was some years ago. His 5K time of 13:11, a marathon best of 2:09. Winning the NY marathon 3 times in a row. Or the dehydrated finish line dash 1982 Boston marathon. Whow… impressive but still he never had run such a far distance. I never realized this, but in those days it was said that he wasn't a naturally talented or gifted runner. If there even is such a thing. One thing he had was tenacity Crossing a line dehydrated or collapsing due to heat exhausting. He stopped running in the mid 80's and then well… first he tried to heal up from various wounds injuries and operations he had. Ending up doing most of his training on a treadmill. Signed up and ran a spectacular comrades marathon. Winning it. He basically came out of nowhere, rather than give up, he went for a double distance. The comrades marathon is about 90KM…. Seriously who does that? Who would even think of doing that? If you are injured as a pro, the way he was injured most would give up running. Or at least wait till the body fully recovers. I don't remember what it was but some injury that really took a long time to Actually, his career was “washed up”. His injuries, I guess his age too, and there where other runners that dominated the headlines. Then he focused on the treadmill. Really brave. He ran even though injuries where not healed completely. He overcame incredible hardships, must have endured a lot of pain. Now look I am aware of the press coverage regarding Alberto and the Oregon Project. Or some other allegations and you might say where there is smoke there is a fire. But that's not what I want to talk about. I want to focus on the Comrades which he absolutely crushed, and his training mindset.Do click on the link below find out more about me www.heikostribl.com and for more running related content do check out https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuoAaTiD4Dc2tMl5r3P09-g and take a free course on becoming a better runner… www.hypnorun.com A rating, a like, a share will be greatly appreciated, and will help other runners' that are looking for such advice find this show.

Elevating American Distance Running: Ben Rosario  Ben Rosario is the head coach of the HOKA Northern Arizona Elite. His athletes have been wildly successful in recent years, with the most notable being Aliphine Tuliamuk's win at the 2020 US Olympic Trials. His athletes Stephanie Bruce and Kellyn Taylor also finished in the top ten of that race, and on the men's side, Scott Fauble, a 2:09 marathoner, came in 12th.   In this episode, Coach Claire talks to Ben about the Olympic Marathon Trials, focusing on how well his female athletes did, how HOKA NAZ treats female athletes, especially in light of the Nike Oregon Project, and why he thinks so many female runners are still posting PRs well into their 30s.  Ben also shares some great coaching advice, his training philosophy, and his insight into why so many world records have been posted during COVID.    At the time of this recording, Ben was preparing for The Marathon Project held on December 20. Coach Claire asks Ben for his predictions and will post the results here in the show notes following the race. Like many coaches, Ben started out as an accomplished runner himself as a member of the Hansons Brooks team and he competed in the Olympic Trials twice before turning to coaching full time.  In his six+ years with Northern Arizona Elite, Ben’s athletes have won U.S. National Titles in cross country and on the roads at 10k, the half marathon and the 25k, as well as New Zealand National Titles on the track and the roads.  HOKA NAZ Elite athletes have recorded 8 top-10 finishes at World Marathon Majors.The team has been represented at the World Cross Country Championships, the World Half Marathon Championships, and at the World Track and Field Championships.  His athletes have also competed at the European Athletics Championships, the Great Edinburgh International XC Meet, the NACAC Cross Country Championships, the NACAC Track Championships, the Pan American Cup Cross Country Meet and the Pan American Games.  In 2016, the team produced two sixth-place finishes at the Olympic Trials Marathon and two fourth-place finishes in the 10,000 meters at the Olympic Track and Field Trials. At the 2020 Olympic Marathon Trials, four HOKA NAZ Elite athletes posted top 20 finishes, including three in the top eight in the women’s race led by Aliphine Tuliamuk–the Trials Champion.    Questions Ben is asked: 4:19 2020 has been pretty crazy for everyone in the world but specifically for the team that you lead, Northern Arizona Elite. Let's go back in time to February when you were getting ready for the Olympic Marathon Trials in Atlanta. Can you take us back there and recap what you were thinking?   5:10 Atlanta is a pretty tough course with all the hills. Obviously that was not a problem for at least your female athletes.   5:28 Your athlete, Aliphine Tuliamuk, won the women's race and was planning to head to Tokyo when the world shut down. What was that like as her coach?   6:41 I would love to talk to you about Aliphine Tuliamuk’s recent announcement that she is pregnant and due in January. As her coach, I’m sure she came to you and said, “Hey, Ben, this is what I’m going to do.” What was that conversation like?    7:26 How tough was it keeping Aliphine’s pregnancy a secret?   8:33 You are quite experienced in elite mom runners. Several women on your team are moms and are still just killing it. I would love to talk about Kellyn Taylor, Stephanie Bruce. I would love to talk about Stephanie for a minute. She is almost 37 years old and still getting PRs in the 10K. How is that possible?   10:14 It didn’t used to be so long ago that mid-30s was old for a runner but now that’s not the case, and I think maybe it has something to do with belief, too, seeing all these new great examples.   11:06 I want to keep going back to the women because you have been coaching some really great ones obviously, and American women are seeing a resurgence in endurance running. American men maybe not so much. Would you want to talk about that?   12:32 I want to talk to you about how women are treated in this sport. We’ve all heard about the crazy things with the Nike Oregon Project and how Kara Goucher was treated when she was pregnant. I don’t think that it’s going to be the same story with Hoka. I would love to have you share what you could say about how Hoka supports its female athletes.   15:06 I think you’re right that when all that came out about the Oregon Project that we thought as fans, “Oh. This is the way they’re all treated.” But it’s great to hear that that’s not the case.   15:34 Whenever I get a coach on, I love to talk about coaching advice to hopefully help someone who’s listening become a better runner. Do you have different training approaches for the kids who come straight out of college than you do for your veteran elite runners?   17:03 Let’s talk in a little bit more detail about the training advice. Most runners get the advice hard days are hard; easy days are easy. But then you throw in some medium days. I think that’s where a lot of recreational runners trip up is those medium days. Can you talk about those and what they’re for and how you use them?   19:22 You don’t always have to run your hardest, right?   20:11 You're also a fan of high mileage and I want to know what that means to you because as runners we all want to run as much as possible but clearly there’s a point when high is too high. So what is that point? Obviously it’s individual, but how does somebody know what is high for them? Where’s that sweet spot?   22:51 Besides your athletes, this year we've seen so many world-record breaking performances in 2020, which seems counterintuitive since there have been so few races, the world is not normal, and people can’t train the way they usually do. What do you attribute that to?     24:14 I’m sure the cynics would say the number of world-record breaking performances in 2020 are because of the shoes or because there’s not enough drug tests in COVID. What do you say about those kinds of things?   25:25 So you think there should be regulations on running shoes like them being available to the public or there’s a stack height, that kind of stuff; is that what you mean?   27:00 What's next for you and your athletes?  How do you predict the running world will change in 2020?     28:29 This will probably air after the Marathon Project this weekend, but I would love to have you handicap it a little bit, tell us who’s all racing and what do you predict?   31:40 How many participants are there for the marathon? Questions I Ask Everyone:   32:17 If you could go back and talk to yourself when you started running, what advice would you give?   33:31 What is the greatest gift running has given you?    33:56 Where can listeners connect with you? Quotes by Ben: “I think what we’re learning is that women can run really well into their mid-to-late 30s, and we’re learning that not only from Steph but Shalane, Des, Kellyn, Molly Huddle; all kinds of women in the US and beyond are showing that in distance running, women keep getting better.”   “In general, my goal anyway is to keep people around here for a really long time. So we’re definitely taking a long-term approach and we’re not trying to necessarily throw everything at them right away. We’re trying to slowly add pieces over time, and you see that with the folks who have stayed with us for a long time just getting better and better and better and better, and that’s what we want.”    “I think uninterrupted training leads to great performances for anybody at any level.”   “The sport has a side to it now that is very technological. And so does golf. And so does swimming. And so does baseball, right? And every sport almost. And like all those other sports, we need to make sure that the playing field is fair.” Take a Listen on Your Next Run     Want more awesome interviews and advice?

Is Nike too big to fail? Matt Hart is a freelance journalist whose new book Win at all Costs investigates Nike’s Oregon Project, diving into its culture of cheating, lying, and misogyny. The book is a page-turning sports thriller reminiscent of a Shakespearean drama with one of the top coaches in the world felled by hubris. Coach Claire talks to Matt about the rise and fall of former coach Alberto Salazar, if he is indeed a villain through and through, the win-at-all-costs mindset of sports today, how young athletes are affected, the women at Nike, if Nike has some redeeming qualities as an organization, and if most people even care about any of this. It’s a fascinating discussion that is sure to appeal to true crime fans! Matt Hart’s writing covers sports science, human-powered adventure and exploration, performance-enhancing drugs, nutrition, and evolution. His work has appeared in The Atlantic, The New York Times, National Geographic Adventure, Outside, and Men’s Journal magazine, among others. His reporting on the investigations into Salazar appeared on the front page, above the fold, of The New York Times in May 2017. In addition to his access to the Gouchers, other sources for the book include former Nike employees, athletes, and coaches; famed sports-scientist and Oregon Project whistleblower Steve Magness; and Olympic marathon gold medalist Frank Shorter, among many others. About Matt’s Book WIN AT ALL COSTS: In May 2017, journalist Matt Hart received a USB drive containing a single file—a 4.7-megabyte PDF named “Tic Toc, Tic Toc. . . .” He quickly realized he was in possession of a stolen report prepared a year earlier by the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA). It was part of an investigation into legendary running coach Alberto Salazar, a Houston-based endocrinologist named Dr. Jeffrey Brown, and the cheating by Nike-sponsored runners. The file began Hart’s reporting on the Nike Oregon Project and led him to uncover a win-at-all-costs culture of greed, corporate malfeasance, and abuse.  WIN AT ALL COSTS is an explosive and revealing narrative depicting the deception and performance-enhancing drug use at the Nike Oregon Project. Hart writes richly detailed portraits of athletes Kara and Adam Goucher, Galen Rupp, and Mo Farah, as well as the coaches and doctors at the root of the cheating. The book recounts how the  secretive program began to unravel when Steve Magness, an assistant coach to Salazar broke the code of silence by alerting USADA. He was followed by Olympians Adam and Kara Goucher who, risking their prosperous careers, became whistleblowers on their former Nike running family at headquarters in Beaverton, Oregon.  Combining sports drama and corporate exposé, WIN AT ALL COSTS uncovers a relentless culture of deceit and drug misuse at Nike; as well as abuse of power, gender discrimination, medical malpractice, and systemic cheating at the highest levels of professional athletics. The book is also a cautionary tale about the excess of greed, corporate malfeasance, and the pushing of athletic boundaries. Deeply researched, unsettling, and ultimately entertaining, WIN AT ALL COSTS will astonish readers by the extremes that coaches and athletes will go to achieve athletic greatness—no matter the cost.     Questions Matt is asked:   3:20 On your website, you say that humans learn through storytelling.  What made you want to tell the story of Nike and its infamous coach, Alberto Salazar?   4:28 Your new book, Win At All Costs, is a fascinating deep dive into the world of Nike, from its scrappy, rebel beginnings to the behemoth brand that it is today.  Essentially, it's a "David becomes Goliath" story.  How would you describe the changes that the company went through from its humble beginnings to today?   6:33 Let's talk about Alberto Salazar.  When he started out as an athlete he became one of the greatest American marathoners, and then became an absolute legend as a coach. I was struck reading your book how Skakespearean he really is. He’s like this man in power brought down by his hubris.  How would you describe him as an athlete, coach, and father?   10:18 It’s easy to paint Alberto Salazar as the evil cult leader who got everybody under his spell, but how do you see that? Obviously there were people complicit in it and athletes at the top of the sport, some of them are willing to do anything to get ahead too. So how do you see it? Do you see Alberto as just the evil cult leader or is it more complicated than that?   13:25 Galen Rupp was what, 15 or 16 when he began to be coached by Alberto? That’s a child, and you’re not really able to make decisions, especially when somebody who has a reputation like Alberto comes into your life and says, “Hey, I see something special in you. Let me take you under my wing.” I have a lot of sympathy for Galen Rupp. I know not everybody in the running community does, but I do. But he’s an adult now, so we’ll see what happens with his career.    15:12 It’s like you want to hate Nike for all of the things that they’ve done, but yet they also have the Bowerman Track Club which is like women supporting women. Shalane Flanagan is now one of the coaches there. If you look at them on Instagram, it’s just like picture perfect empowerment and everything that it’s supposed to be. It’s just like how can you have two things like that in the same town and in the same company?   17:56 It’s easy to kind of say, okay, Alberto was the bad apple, but we’ve got Jerry Schumacher and he’s the best, and he’s wonderful, and still that Nike is just that one guy. But a lot of the stuff you talk about goes higher up than just Alberto Salazar. It goes to everybody above him, and I thought that it was really eye opening when you talked about salaries. In the world of running, it’s very secretive how much pro runners make, and you were able to find out that Kara Goucher got paid $35,000 while her husband Adam got paid $90,000 when they joined. Can you talk about that and about why they were willing to tell you that?   20:11 Compared to just about any other professional sport, coaches’ salaries all seemed incredibly low. And maybe it’s because obviously running doesn’t bring in the money that the NFL does. We don’t sit around watching running, at least not too many people do, which still I think is very bizarre that there’s millions and millions of runners in the United States and yet track and field and running is not that interesting to people. Why do you think that is? Why doesn’t running have the fan base that baseball or the NFL or something like that does?   22:24 I coach a lot of athletes and many of them just simply aren’t interested in what the elites do. And this leads me to my question for you. This whole scandal with the Nike Oregon Project, has it affected Nike at all as far as sales? People are still buying their shoes, right?   24:28 Nike is still paying for the defense of Alberto Salazar. Any insight on why?   26:13 Did you interview Mary Cain for the book?   26:57 Alberto was a son figure and a father figure and so many of the athletes say that, “He’s like a father. I love… “ Even Kara Goucher was like, “He’s a father figure to me. He’s the best,” and all of that, and now it’s a very different story.   28:26 You talk in the book about how Alberto Salazar who has $1 million budget or something, he has access to the latest technology, and massage therapists, and all of that, he would personally massage Galen Rupp, and there’s a couple things that you might be suspicious are going on there when that happens, but it seems like that was the testosterone. Is that what you found? It just seems weird to me.   31:29 There were stories of athletes being prescribed things for ailments that they didn’t have. Everybody on the team had a thyroid problem all of a sudden. And then there were the L-Carnitine infusions, and obviously infusing yourself with anything is against clean sport. But when they were caught, they just said, “Oh, it didn’t do anything for me.” Do you want to talk a little bit about the whole infusion story?   34:26 Is there a USADA test for L-Carnitine, because it’s an amino acid?   35:06 I’m surprised L-Carnitine hasn’t become more of the thing because to be perfectly honest, when this whole story broke, I was training for a marathon and I went to GNC and got myself some L-Carnitine. People see this and hear this, recreational runners or sub-elites, and they’re like, “Huh, that’s interesting.” And yet, they go ahead and follow that gray line. It’s almost like exposing the truth encourages more people to cheat, do you think?   37:44 I’d love to talk a little bit about the women at Nike. We learned all about Kara Goucher and her reduction clause. So when she decided to have a baby, she basically was not paid. So she was not paid for a very long period of time while she still was technically working for Nike. Again, this goes back to the contracts being super, super secretive. Do you think at least that has changed in the world of running for women as far as how they’re treated when they decide to have a family?   40:09 What do you feel is the future of sports and running and Nike?   42:52 Hopefully with the good example of the Bowerman Track Club, Nike might be able to change for the better from the inside, and then with work like yours, hopefully will change for the better from the outside.   44:13 Matt, what’s next for you with your running and your writing? Questions I ask everyone:   45:01 If you could go back and talk to yourself when you started running, what advice would you give?   46:15 What is the greatest gift running has given you?   46:51 Where can listeners connect with you?   Quotes by Matt:   “As an athlete, I learned this through the reporting, that Alberto Salazar would try basically anything to try to improve performance. Now that’s not all drugs and illicit means. That’s kind of anything from massage to dry needling to whatever else might be in the popular culture of athletes at the time.”   “Athletes at the end of the day are 100% responsible for what they put into their body. Any athlete that’s working with Alberto Salazar, it does want to aggressively pursue hard training and they’ll do kind of whatever they’re asked or whatever they think can help them stand on top of the podium, and that’s the win at all costs sort of zero sum game that sports have become.”   “Of the $36 billion Nikes makes a year, some $4.6 billion of it is the run category, and so that’s I think their largest category, to sell to runners. Now it’s a different question of whether we want to watch those runners run.”   “You have to imagine years of training at a level you simply couldn’t maintain without drugs changes you physiologically. You’re steps ahead or you’re stronger or you’re faster. And so, that’s a whole other discussion, the long-term benefits of drugs and is someone still a cheat if they’ve gotten off them.” Take a Listen on Your Next Run Want more awesome interviews and advice?

"We wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to get better. I don’t have the pressure to get into a marathon build-up or if the Olympics were happening. I wanted to come out of this better. A big part of that for me was maybe taking it a little easier with the mileage and intensity and focusing back to strengthening up my leg. I lost a lot of muscle – not just in my ankle and those tendons but throughout that left leg. It’s been a long process and I think I certainly underestimated how difficult it would be. It’s been two years since I was operated on but I feel like I’m finally getting back to my old self and getting some good push-off in my left leg. There was certainly a big hitch in my stride at the trials. I really wasn’t getting a lot of push there. It was just setting down and pivoting. My right leg was doing a lot of the work. I can certainly say that I’ve made some big improvements mechanically with that." It’s been eight months since Galen Rupp won the U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials on Feb. 29. In that span of time, he says he has not run a single step with another person. He’s still been training but he’s been grinding solo. That all changed on Friday when Eugene Marathon organizers put together the Row River Half Marathon. It was Rupp, Suguru Osako (his former Oregon Project teammate) and Patrick Tiernan. Many thought that Rupp could take a crack at Ryan Hall’s American record of 59:43 could be in jeopardy but Rupp finished the race in 60:22. His PR is still 59:47 from Prague in 2018. However, he walked away from Friday with the new American record in the 10-mile since he split 45:53 and Greg Meyer had run 46:13 in 1983. Osako finished behind him in 61:15. In order for the record to count, I believe you need three finishers so Pat Tiernan, who paced for a bit, took third in 66:42. Support for this episode comes from Bakline Running.

In 2001, Nike launched the Oregon Project, an initiative that hoped to make American distance runners competitive on the world stage. Years later, a whistleblower alerted the USADA that the project was rife with doping, deceit, and discrimination, under the leadership of coach Alberto Salazar. Journalist Matt Hart joins us to discuss his new book, Win At All Costs: Inside Nike Running and Its Culture of Deception, which tells the story of the Nike Oregon Project and its unraveling.

On today's episode, Matt Hart, author of Win at All Costs, discusses the unsettling details of Nike's secret running program, the Nike Oregon Project, and the ever-prevalent corporate win-at-all-costs culture.

“What’s the alternative, I quit? … I can’t let them break me. No way.” - Kara Goucher World Championship (now) silver medal winner and 2x Olympic distance runner Kara Goucher and Danielle discuss ethics at the highest level of sport. Against the background of ESPN’s newest 30 for 30: “Lance”, Kara shares her experience at the now infamous Nike Oregon Project. She defines, for the listening audience, popular doping practices (EPO, AndroGel, IV treatments) and their effects on the body and individual competition. She describes the institutional grooming process that athletes (including herself) are subjected to, and the David and Goliath lawsuit she is still fighting, against her former Nike Oregon Project head coach and father figure Alberto Salazaar. Kara exposes a dark side of Nike: these testosterone experiments were performed on the Nike campus, in their labs, and CEO Mark Parker know about them. For the baseball fan, we extrapolated her experiences in running to determine the psychology behind and monetary/popularity windfall following the HR chase between dirty Mark McGuire and dirty Sammy Sosa. Didn’t the dirty Nike Oregon Project achieve that same goal for USA running? What is the difference between 'banned' and 'unethical'? Kara also opens up about how her former teammate and brother-in-law secretly developed a Nike shoe that single-handedly kept her from competing in her 3rd Olympic Games. We'll also tackle: 2020 NYC Marathon: will it still happen? What changes, from a runner’s perspective would she like to see implemented? What about a virtual marathon? Kara's tips for the avid runner... and the "Quarantine Runner", like myself The ramifications she felt (and still feels) about bringing the situation to light... and how she still feels 'unsafe' during a race. How, for her, a 3rd place finish turned into a silver medal after 12 years following a positive banned substance test A solution: who, ultimately, is in control of stopping the unethical behavior and doping: the corporations, the athletes, a governing body? Listener questions from: Erin in Palisades Park, NJ: What is your favorite workout? Vanessa, a track and field coach from Florida: Kara's mentorship of younger women in the sport, in particular- Mary Cain

We love our #sporting heroes in Australia. We celebrate them, we admire them, we want to hear their stories. But what happens when a sporting dream doesn't go to plan? What happens when the lines between “toughening the athlete” #coaching practices and abuse become blurred? What happens when a sporting culture that normalises abuse leaves a long-lasting legacy on your life — and the life of countless others? This is Dr Jennifer McMahon's deeply personal story. An Australian swimming gold and silver medallist at the 1990 Auckland Commonwealth Games, Jennifer went from being on top of the world one minute to her dream crashing down the next. This year, she received an OAM for her research into helping protect #athletes from abuse in sport. You'll hear what happened behind the scenes at training and at home — and how she turned her painful experiences into positives.International Olympic Committee Toolkit on ‘Safe Sport'Mary Cain's speaks about physical and mental abuse in the now now-defunct Oregon Project

The declaration of Independence for the United States of America was formally declared on July 2, 1776, and signed on July 4, 1776.  However, it was not for another 144 years that Congress passed the 19thAmendment and ratified it, granting women the right to vote.  It was not until nearly 70 years ago when the United Nations declared that women’s rights are fundamental human rights, and that women should have the right to live free from violence, slavery, discrimination, to be educated, to own property, to vote, and to earn a fair and equal wage.  This issue is not isolated to one country, but is a worldwide problem. Women have been fighting a war for years to obtain the same rights which are granted to men.  One powerful voice that is advocating for these females, specifically female athletes, is Lindsay Crouse.  Lindsay is a journalist for the New York Times, an editor, producer, and competitive amateur marathon runner that is utilizing her position as a tool to bring inequality to the forefronts of our minds. Issues Facing Female Athletes There are multiple issues facing female athletes that are in plain sight of the general public that we should be concerned about.  These issues include but are not limited to pregnancy, bullying, emotional abuse, and pay equality.  Lindsay worked with top tier female runners over the course of a year to help tell their story and bring to light issues that may not be considered illegal, but that should be seen as unethical. Female athletes have lost money, sponsorship and some even their career, simply because of gender inequality.  In a series of opinion articles written for the New York Times, Lindsay highlighted some of these incredible athletes and the struggles they faced while running and competing for large sponsors. Mary Cain was one of the fastest women of our generation, and the youngest American track and field athlete to make a World Championship.  After signing with Nike’s Oregon Project she was beaten down by the win-at-all-cost culture and was forced to lose more and more weight until her body eventually broke down and she became damaged goods. Allyson Felix, a USA Olympian who won nine Olympic medals in track, was arguably one of Nike’s most marketed female athletes.  Allyson, along with two of her Nike teammates, Alysia Montano and Kara Goucher, had dreams of being great runners and mothers.  However, becoming pregnant and having children caused them to experience pay cuts and risk losing their contracts, simply for wanting to have children. Lindsay, and several brave female athletes helped bring these issues to the forefront of our minds and due to their courage, many top tier sponsors have made changes to their contracts proving these female athletes with guaranteed payments while they for the year and a half surrounding their pregnancies.  Without these valiant women being willing to share their stores, future female athletes would be dealing with the same issues for many years to come. Permission to Rebrand Yourself We are living in an exciting time for women’s sports and American women should thrilled about what is happening right now.  The elite and sub-elite women are running well and are giving strength and courage to women everywhere.  These women are not just athletes but have other important roles in their lives such as mothers and full time jobs.  Women all over the world can relate and identify with these athletes and should be empowered by them. For Lindsay, she continues to get older but has not let that limit her abilities as a runner.  As she is getting older, she is becoming faster than she ever thought she could be.  But as she continues to accomplish what she believed to be impossible she has realized that no one should be able to brand you.  You have permission to rebrand yourself and be what others don’t think you can be.  You don’t need permission from anybody but yourself to go out and accomplish amazing goals.  One person, giving permission in their own life to rebrand themselves, is enough to potentially inspire everyone else in their own lives. Creating Opportunities for Women If you want something to change, don’t wait for the system to accommodate you.  Make whatever system you are in work for you.  There will always be disadvantages, but you can turn those into advantages if you look for it.  Many women are accomplishing fantastic things in the workplace, but this is not enough. Think about why you want to do something, and if why you want to do it is really important to you, go get it!  Once you’ve got it, find ways to fix it for other people.  You may not always be able to change the system but find different ways to bring other women with you. Women always are made to feel as though they are competing for positions.  It seems like there are a limited number of slots for women in the workplace, whereas men don’t typically feel as though they have to compete for positions.  But remember, if you put the work in, you can get there.  You can do whatever you want to do as long as you’ve prepared yourself.  And when the opportunity presents itself, the time and effort you’ve put into it will be obvious.  It is not a matter of being perfect, but of being brave.  Change your mindset and be the change that you want to see! While we have come a long way, we still have a long way to go.  This is a battle that is being fought every day.  We have two choices: act like it doesn’t exist and do nothing or find ways to get involved.  This is not about women being greater than men, but about women being equal to men.  There are incredible female athletes working hard every day to get their chance to shine.  It is up to each and every one of us to make sure these incredible people are given every opportunity to succeed, to eliminate the stigma, and to perpetuate the cause.

“I have a lot of goals in running and I have a lot of dreams in running but I feel like I love to run—period, end of sentence. And if that is kind of all I'm ever going to say about my running career from here on out, I'd maybe be a little bit disappointed, but at the end of the day, I want to run when I'm 80. I want to run with my family, I want to run with my friends, I want to run with my dog, and those miles that I can put in going forward, I hope they lead to really cool things on the track, but if they lead to really cool things through, you know, other opportunities that come forward in the future, that would be just as cool. So maybe looking ahead, I'm not trying to write my future out maybe like I used to, I'm just trying to go a little bit more with the flow and see where the run takes me.” Mary Cain is the youngest American athlete ever to represent the United States at the World Championships, which she did in 2013 as a 17-year-old high school phenom, finishing 10th in the 1500m final. Earlier that year, she broke numerous high school and junior records from 800m through the 5000. She turned professional in the fall of 2013, joining the Nike Oregon Project under coach Alberto Salazar in Portland, Oregon. Then, last November, Mary came forward in The New York Times with a powerful op-ed sharing her story of the emotional and physical abuse she suffered while a member of the Oregon Project, which she left in 2016. The piece exploded online and revealed details about how Mary had suffered from disordered eating while a member of Salazar's team, missed her period for three years, broke five bones, and suffered from thoughts of suicide. Following that story, several other former Oregon Project athletes backed her claims of similar mistreatment going back at least 10 years. In this conversation, which got emotional at times, we got into the details of her new employment arrangement, talked about the importance of not being outcome-oriented, the energizing effect of being actively involved in her NYC running community, and how she picked herself back up after leaving Oregon and returning to New York. We also talked about Mary the person vs. Mary the runner and when that flipped for her, what she experienced during her time in Oregon, and being self-critical and feeling helpless when she was told she needed to lose weight to run faster. She also told me when she realized the environment at the Oregon Project was a problem and why it took her so long to realize it and leave, if her training partners and teammates at the time showed any concern for her while she was suffering, how she's thinking about her running goals in the next few years, and a lot more.

I think i didn’t prepare myself enough for if i couldn’t run”“The public eye is showing these women who are soing really well and thats fantastic i think thats a great think, but Theres a risk that comes with that, because if cant achieve that you almost feel like your preg or your journey is not as important...i just want to say it’s as important, that stage in your life is a wonderful stage, it should be celebrated weather you can run go to the gym 7 da week until you deliver or if you can’t move 2 feet until you deliver”30- Sally racing NYC marathon a few weeks pregnant35-When Sally decided to fit motherhood into her careerSociety’s (Kenya for ex) pressures on women vs own decisions to have family43-Sally’s school she helped build in Kenya, and on being a woman in a male dominated culture: education is such an important equalizer49-Sally’s role models and being enlightened by seeing USA, motivated by how important education is54-Sally’s sisters, married and had children young, ages 16 and 17(not going to highschool limits education, but also limited chance to participate in sports, they probably had similar great talent)58-Is Sally famous in Kenya?!Why She’s “Mamma-Emma”1:01-Kenyan running community, from doping to popularity and celebrity“Running is huge in kenya, it’s like being in the NFL in the US”“The younger generation, they think to run well you must dope”And there are issues in USA too: She makes a point to distinguish herself from Oregon Project in Portland (she is Oregon Track Club w Mark Rowland in Eugene)Needing to cultivate a culture of hard work rather than win at all cost in Kenya“If we have enough role models that are doing good, and for the young people to realize you can be good without ever cheating- I think that’s the greatest thing we can do as athletes. And I think we need to go back to really redefining what greatness is… you don’t have to be 1 to be great, just do your best and give 100%, and value that in our kids…”1:14- What part of Sally’s story she wants to shed more light on:That the mother, athlete and family member she is are all entwined. (great athletes aren’t robots-they’re whole people!)“ The mother (in me) is so much linked to the wife and so much linked to the athlete. The qualities that I try it to accomplish as an athlete are almost the same qualities that I’m trying to accomplish and trying to master and trying to learn as a mom and as a wife, like for example ...if im trying to be a good mom im trying to be diligent i'm trying to be disciplined im trying to be considerate,im trying to be forgiving, im trying to be patient i want to be loving. I want to be disciplined , I want to be diligent, I want to be faithful to my running.”Ro-Sally “knows how she wants to show up in the world” what’s next for Sally and how to follow her

If you're an avid reader of The New York Times sports section, you've most likely read the work of writer-journalist Matt Futterman (50). Futterman is the Deputy Sports Editor at the NYT, a fan of nordic sports, and an avid runner who was slated to run the Boston Marathon this past Monday.Futterman's love for endurance sports, running in particular, is evident as he peppers readers with in-depth running stories. He helped cover the recent downfall of Alberto Salazar and continues to keep on eye on anti-doping efforts during the Covid-19 pandemic.Futterman also released a well-received book titled: Running to the Edge.The book, rendered down to its basics, is a meditation on Bob Larsen, a running coach Futterman asserts resurrected U.S. distance running. That premise is hard to argue with as Larsen jolted the San Diego running scene into national relevance, coached UCLA to NCAA titles, and ultimately honed his training philosophy in Mammoth, California as the coach of Meb Keflezighi and Deena Kastor. Both of these athletes were guided to Olympic marathon medals under the tutelage of Larsen.Futterman's treatment provides a close up look into how Larsen changed the landscape of training methodology for distance running - and on his way left a legacy of grit and championships in San Diego as he rose through the coaching ranks.The book is a great read during this time of exercise containment. Futterman will help you dream big, even if for now, our sporting ambitions are reigned in.In this episode of Nordic Nation, we talk to Futterman about his book, his own running, and how the NYT covers cross-country skiing at the Olympics. We also mention two recent pieces from this past week. They are linked below.Berlin Marathon canceled.What will endurance races look like when they come back?Some of Futterman's coverage on Alberto Salazar: For Salazar Whistle-Blowers, a Long Wait for a Satisfying Outcome, Nike to shut down Salazar's Oregon Project.

We are excited to kick off a new month with a new theme! March is National Women’s History month so this month’s guests will all be badass women who are athletes and/or advocates for clean sport. For this first episode of the month, we interview Nike-sponsored athlete from the Bowerman Track Club – Colleen Quigley. We often get the critique that we are anti-Nike, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. We are simply pro-clean sport, and we will condemn actions by Nike or any brand that are against our mission. At the same time, we will celebrate actions by Nike or any brand that further the cause. As just one example, Colleen Quigley and her teammates at the Bowerman Track Club should be celebrated, and we are excited to share this interview with you. Colleen is an NCAA champion and Olympian in the steeplechase which means she makes her living on the track hurdling barriers and water pits for 7.5 laps at a time. Her story is an interesting one because she didn’t move to the steeplechase until she went to college at Florida State University, but she took to it quickly and would ultimately fulfill her coach’s prediction that she would win an NCAA Championship in the event. Kara and Chris chat with Colleen about her early days in the sport, her collegiate years at FSU, and of course her transition to the pro ranks at the Bowerman Track Club, where she trains with the fastest group of women in the country. Colleen discusses her secrets to striving for excellence and what it’s like to train with such an amazing group and now be coached by the great Shalane Flanagan. Then, we dig into the tough topics including prominent doping violations within her event and within the Oregon Project at Nike itself. She discusses her own reaction to the Alberto Salazar suspension and Mary Cain revelations as well as the dynamics between the Bowerman team and the Oregon Project. Finally, we discuss the evolution of footwear including the impending application of Nike Vaporfly technology to the track and what should be done with shoe regulations. What you see is what you get with Colleen, and we appreciate her courage and openness in our discussion. As someone who has signed the Clean Sport pledge, we believe in Colleen and will be cheering for her to make another Olympic team in Tokyo this summer!

Scott Fauble was the top American at the Boston Marathon and the 2nd ranked marathoner in the US in 2019. His 2:09:09 in Boston makes him the 10th fastest US marathoner of all-time. He trains with team Northern Arizona Elite (NAZ Elite), sponsored by Hoka One One and coached by Ben Rosario. While a state champion in high school, Scott's rise to the top of US marathoning has not be a smooth or predictable road at least for those watching from the outside. Scott talks about his progression in the sport including how he has always set big goals and high standards for himself and how his mindset makes him particularly well-suited to the 26.2 mile distance. In this fascinating conversation, Chris and Kara learn about Scott's journey in the sport and then dig deep with Scott on all the major issues within distance running from Alberto Salazar to Mary Cain's experiences at the Oregon Project to sports governance and athlete representation and of course to the great shoe debate. One surprising revelation from the discussion is that Scott is not currently in the drug testing pool in spite of wanting to be. That news came as a shock to us given Scott's success but is also a perfect example of continued challenges and opportunities in the fight for clean sport. Thank you to Scott for joining us and for his willingness to discuss the tough topics so freely. We will be rooting hard for him and all of his NAZ Elite teammates in Atlanta on February 29th!

Mary Cain sits down in front of a live audience at Mile High Run Club (NoMad) in New York City to catch up since the last time she appeared on the show in May. In November, a New York Times op-doc was released where Cain reveals she suffered mental and physical abuse under the leadership of Alberto Salazar. She impressed many on the track with her talent but later broke five bones, misser her period for three years and had suicidal thoughts due to disordered eating that she developed under Salazar’s extreme training methods. It was one of the most impactful stories in the sport for 2019. I followed up the New York Times piece by reporting and publishing a story for Sports Illustrated where several former Oregon Project members validated Cain's claims and extended the timeline with stories of mistreatment going back to 2008.

We've had a lovely, restful month off. Unfortunately, the IAAF haven't. They've been busy chopping the triple jump, steeplechase, discus throw, and 200 metres from the 2020 Diamond League. Honestly. You couldn't make it up. Taylor v Claye? Meh. Noah Lyles? We've had enough charismatic sprinters. World records? Completed it, mate. Some of the best discuss-throwers in history? Throws leave people cold... right?There's that rant to have, and then there's the NY Times' interview with Mary Cain to discuss. Once one of athletics' most prodigious talents - a distance dynamo with an infectious smile and the world at her feet - Cain's stint at the Oregon Project saw her, in her own words, 'emotionally and physically abused'. She's articulate, thoughtful, emotive, and very brave in the piece, and it seemed only right we touch upon the issues raised.And - finally - some good news. Three bits of good news, in fact. Jody and Bayo have been journalising, and it is with enormous pleasure that we present to you interviews with: Tom 'friend of the pod and the face of race walking' Bosworth; Sophie '18.61 DID THAT REALLY JUST ACTUALLY HAPPEN??' McKinna; and Adam 'everyone's absolute and most adored favourite' Gemili. What a trio. Enjoy.As ever, please do let us know what you thought of the episode: we accept tweets (@BackstraightB & @Claire_GThomas), Insta DMs (@backstraightboyspodcast), reviews on your podcast platform of choice, and declarations of love at athletics meets. Thanks in advance, you lovely lot.

For this week, I had to hit pause on my previously planned topic and spend time discussing the Mary Cain story, which you can learn about here: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/07/opinion/nike-running-mary-cain.html I don't have all the answers, but I hope you don't mind me taking the time to process this incredibly brave and heartbreaking story from Mary.  In the podcast, my discussion centers on two areas: 1. How can we advocate for those like Mary who speak out against wrongdoing? 2. How can we think about body image and bodyweight in running in a better way? I know that I still have so much to learn to better do my part as an athlete and coach for a better future in our sport, so please do share your thoughts to my email - chris@roguerunning.com. As a side note: I don't discuss it directly but I believe in and advocate for a full, independent investigation into the culture of the Oregon Project and what amounts to child abuse in this case.

In this episode, we bring you part two of our two-part interview with US marathon legend Frank Shorter. As a reminder, Frank Shorter is the only American to win two Olympic medals for the marathon distance earning gold in 1972 in Munich and silver in 1976 in Montreal.  In this discussion with Chris and Kara, we pick up where we left off last time and hear additional stories on the early days of USADA and Frank's role in it from the early Balco scandal to the Lance Armstrong case. We also learn the behind-the-scenes story on why Frank stepped away from his active role with USADA in 2003. From there, we fast forward to today to understand Frank's perspective on several recent topics in the sport of running including the Alberto Salazar suspension, the heartbreaking Mary Cain allegations against Salazar and the Oregon Project from this week, and of course, the great shoe debate of recent weeks. Frank's perspective is invaluable as someone with a long and unique history in our sport.  For reference, here is the video op-ed from the NY Times with Mary Cain: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/07/opinion/nike-running-mary-cain.html

The application window runs from Nov. 4-Nov. 22.   From   Off the beaten mainstream path of traditional triathlons, Boulder’s Laura Knoblach set a world record at the Todo Triatlon (sp), in Leon, Mexico. In this Double Deca Continuous race, competitors complete a 48-mile swim, 2,240-mile bike, and a 524-mile run. Basically they do 20 full-distance IRONMAN races in 28 days. It took Laura 633:41:39 to finish.   From       Endurance News: A federal safety board issued a surprise recommendation for mandatory bike helmet laws in all 50 states — unanimously approving a last-minute resolution that had not been recommended by the board’s own staff. The National Transportation Safety Board voted 3-0 to recommend helmet laws even as staff members reminded panelists that such laws may reduce overall cycling, and lead to the “unintended consequence” of more road fatalities because fewer cyclists will mean less pressure on local officials to build the kind of protected infrastructure that is proven to improve cyclist safety.   From     Last week, events company AEG announced that the Amgen Tour of California, the last remaining UCI World Tour race that’s brought some of the world’s most talented riders to the U.S. for the past 14 years, would be put “on hiatus.” In a statement announcing the cancellation, AEG did not detail any specific reasons for it, but suggested that the ATOC would not be coming back until they figure out the biggest barrier to bike racing here in the United States: money. “This has been a very difficult decision to make, but the business fundamentals of the Amgen Tour of California have changed since we launched the race 14 years ago,” Kristin Klein, president of the Amgen Tour of California and executive vice president of AEG Sports said in a statement. “This new reality has forced us to re-evaluate our options, and we are actively assessing every aspect of our event to determine if there is a business model that will allow us to successfully relaunch the race in 2021.”   From     At 17, Mary Cain was already a record-breaking phenom: the fastest girl in a generation, and the youngest American track and field athlete to make a World Championships team. In 2013, she was signed by the best track team in the world, Nike’s Oregon Project, run by its star coach Alberto Salazar. Then everything collapsed. Her fall was just as spectacular as her rise, and she shares. Instead of becoming a symbol of girls’ unlimited potential in sports, Cain became yet another standout young athlete who got beaten down by a win-at-all-costs culture. Girls like Cain become damaged goods and fade away. We rarely hear what happened to them. We move on.   From       Video of the Week: Black cat on the MNF Football fans cheer for black cat running across field mid-game - (Giants vs Cowboys) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkCsNhnhbg0   Water Running Deep water 1- How To Do Pool Running With Jeff Galloway 2- How to Deep Water Run   Equipment https://www.swimoutlet.com/p/aquajogger-active-pack-2347/?&color=210&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=google-shopping&campaignid=1670001492&adgroupid=64109935385&keyword=&matchtype=&targetid=aud-401997508960:pla-438278789745&device=c&creativeid=323089748382&adposition=1o4&gclid=Cj0KCQiAno_uBRC1ARIsAB496IW1nhQABb7MeFAeNkKmudl1vmjgcQxkhCu5duULd0iOQYxyHw-1rhEaAoWjEALw_wcB           Upcoming Interviews: UCAN Director of Triathlon business, Matt Bach, gave us a little education on fueling and hydrating at iron-distance.   in Kona first at the Fat Adapted Athlete seminar where he gave a presentation and then we met again at the Evening with Champions with Dave Scott and Mark Allen.

In der ersten Folge vom Auslaufen Podcast diskutieren Sebastian Reinwand und Felix Hentschel Nike-Schuhe, die Leichtathletik Weltmeisterschaften in Doha und das Oregon Project.

Nike spends a lot of money sponsoring and marketing some of the best athletes in the world. It doesn’t just back global superstars like Serena Williams and Cristiano Ronaldo on the field, but off them too. It made the American football player Colin Kaepernick as the face of an advertising campaign after he protested against racial injustice by kneeling during the US national anthem. The events of the last few days don’t fit Nike’s preferred narrative. The firm has shut down the Oregon Project, its elite training programme, after the main coach there, Alberto Salazar, was found guilty of cheating by the US anti-doping agency. Nike says it doesn’t accept Salazar was deliberately cheating and is supporting his appeal against the ban. Matthew Price hears from two people who’ve followed this story from the start. The BBC’s Mark Daly first exposed Salazar in a Panorama investigation four years ago. And Matt Lawton, the chief sports writer for The Times, has been inside Nike’s controversial Oregon Project. Producers: Philly Beaumont and Duncan Barber Mixed by Nicolas Raufast Editor: John Shields

In this episode, John and Michael wrestle with their feelings over the current state of distance running. Eliud Kipchoge made history, running 26.2 miles in under 2 hours in Vienna - albeit under special conditions - and Brigid Kosgei broke Paula Radcliffe's 16 year old world marathon record in Chicago. But, both achievements come just days after Nike announced they were shutting the Oregon Project where distance runners have trained and won numerous medals at World and Olympic level - most notably, from a British point of view, Mo Farah. Nike's decision comes in the wake of a ban for lead coach Alberto Salazar after a lengthy investigation found him guilty of various doping offences. Salazar, backed by Nike, is appealing.Eleswhere, there has been British success this week at World Championship level in gymnastics and boxing. Max Whitlock, Joe Fraser and Lauren Price are all newly crowned world champions and look in great shape 9 months out from the next Olympic Games.Team GB has named more athletes for Tokyo too. Five canoeists have been confirmed, but a couple of big names miss out and we explain why they are not on the plane.In cycling, Laura Kenny faces a monumental challenge at the forthcoming European Championships, but it's a challenge that could significantly impact on her Olympic preparations. Plus, we have news from Judo, Hockey, Goalball and Birmingham 2022.And, in the week of mental health awareness day, we hear about a new charity - Sporting Minds UK - targeting young sportspeople struggling with mental health challenges. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Two seismic events shook the running world early this week. Keninisa Bekele returned to championship form with a shocking 2:01:41 marathon at Berlin, and Alberto Salazar received a four-year ban in the Oregon Project doping investigation. We analyze both and raise a number of questions about what each means for the future of our sport.

In this episode we have a VERY special guest, Craig Engels. A runner for the Nike Oregon Project and on his way to the World Championships! Craig has become a very iconic runner recently, known for his great personality, confidence and, of course his mullet - which stands out from the rest of the field. We talk to him about training, pro racing, and of course his legendary RV. It was an absolute honor to chat with Craig with the whole crew and we hope you enjoy.Website: http://stridelive.co/••Music: https://www.bensound.com/Support the show (https://stridelive.co/)

In this episode we answer questions sent in by Academy members about finding time for strength training, when to stretch, how to avoid cramping at the end of a marathon, and more, as we bring you part two of our Ask the Coach Q & A. In the quick tip segment Angie shares the top book picks from her summer reading. Ask the Coach Episode | Part 2 On this episode we were joined by Coach Kristen Williamson the newest member of the MTA coaching team. Kristen is a Registered Dietitian and Road Runners Club of America certified running coach. She is a 3:29:00 Marathoner, Boston Qualifier, and has a Master of Science in Dietetics as well as a MBA. To learn more about our coaching team see this page. Questions Featured: Strength training. I hear so much about the benefits of getting into the gym, but struggling with how to fit that in with 5 days of weekly running and appropriate recovery. If I go to the gym on a rest day does that compromise recovery? If it does, how can it be fit in? if you add up all the advise out there it’s like run 5 days a week, but also make sure you are taking full days off for recovery. But also make sure you are getting into the gym twice a week for strength training, but not before or after a long run or quality run. And also add in a day for cross training. Would be great if there were 11 days in the week. -Eli How do you stretch appropriately before/after a long run or race? Especially when there is a lot of standing around before you actually start running? What about stretching in cold weather vs warmer weather? What are some of the ways you stretch before and after? -Yali How to avoid muscle cramps at the end of marathons? -Hanna-Leena What’s the funniest thing that has ever happened to you on a run? -Pat Book Picks from My Summer ReadingNon-Fiction: Running and Mindset Can’t Hurt Me by David Goggins This book was my top pick for this summer. I read it at a time when I was gearing up for big physical challenges and I could directly see how the motivation gleaned from this book helped me perform my best. David’s narrative of his life, the things he’s overcome, and the challenges he took on are intertwined with great motivational lessons. This book will change your mindset forever. FYI- Book contains strong language. You (Only Faster) by Greg McMillan If you’re the type of person who really likes to dive into the individual variations of running and training plans this is the book for you. He talks about how you can maximize your running potential, be a healthy runner for life, and the differences between more endurance based and speed based energy systems. Running Outside the Comfort Zone by Susan Lacke This is a fun and relatable book that really makes you want to get outside your comfort zone and not let fear hold you back. Check out our interview with author Susan Lacke on episode #291 for more information. The Long Run by Matt Long This is one of those running books that sat on my shelf for nearly a decade before I got around to reading it. I’m glad that I finally took the time to read it because it was very inspirational. Matt tells the story of how he went from a NYC firefighter, triathlete, and marathoner gunning for a BQ to being hit by a bus while cycling. He survived despite overwhelming odds, had multiple surgeries, and had to relearn all aspects of mobility again as well as deal with serious depression. This is one of those books where you end up feeling like any excuses you have are weak-sauce. Run or Die by Kilian Jornet This is another book that I’ve had for a long time but finally read. It was fascinating to hear the story of how Kilian grew up and his mindset and determination to take on some of the world’s top running challenges. Impossible and give up are not in his vocabulary. 14 Minutes by Alberto Salazar This memoir by Alberto Salazar was very interesting and provided a behind the scenes look at the way he was raised, how to turned to running, his long-time battle with career ending injury, his coaching, and the near fatal heart attack that he had at age 49. The only thing I knew about him previously was that he was head coach of the Oregon Project and what I’d read from Dick Beardsley’s book Duel in the Sun. Shoe Dog by Phil Knight An interesting book about the humble and often tenuous beginnings of the Nike Corporation. Reading about the struggles that Phil Knight went through to bring his company to success gave me a new appreciation for the tenacity it takes to succeed in the business world. It’s truly amazing that the global phenomenon we know today almost didn’t get off the ground. Presence by Amy Cuddy This book explores the power that being present has over our emotional, mental and physical state. She talks about how the posture of our body can influence our thought process and help us take on challenges. Even two minutes of doing a power pose can increase your testosterone and decrease your cortisol levels. You feel more confident, passionate, authentic, and enthusiastic. She encourages readers to, “Fake it until you become it and that tiny tweaks can lead to big changes.”Other Books I Enjoyed This Summer Nonfiction Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics by Dan Harris Extreme Ownership by Jocko Willink & Leif Babin Make Your Bed by William H.

Dave Frank Central Catholic Introduction Grew up in Oregon, won some state titles in high school Ran at Stanford in early 80's Senior year made Olympic Trials in Steeple Made it again in 88 and in the marathon in 92 11 years coaches at St Francis in California Central Catholic was nothing to speak of when arrived Alberto Salazar hired same year and Galen Rupp was a Freshman 19 years now at Central Catholic You had a lot of success as a runner, why did you end up coaching high school? Stanford coaches got us interested in coaching There was a need for an assistant cross country coach at the school I was working When moved to Central Catholic thought would be the head coach, but they hired Alberto Enjoyed helping kids get better How did your training differ between California and Oregon? In California, as an assistant just working on making JV kids Varsity In Oregon worked closer with Alberto on training What was the team like when you arrived at Central Catholic and how has that changed, and what impact did Galen being there have on it? Was 13 boys and a few less girls School is about 850-900 We should be a middle division school by size but compete up Kids and parents at the school are really involved which helps build numbers Grew steadily over the years, no sure Galen had an impact Strong teams may have scared kids off who thought they would never be good enough Up to 50 boys and 35 girls, only coach boys program You had a unique situation getting to work with Alberto Salazar, what were those years like and how was he with the kids? Rumor is Alberto came here because Galen was here and he coached him as a youth, not true Galen was a kid in my math class, his mother ran so I convinced them to come out Galen was a soccer kid and a soccer fan first Alberto worked out a deal with soccer coach that he could run with us a few times Was obvious he had some talent Alberto was dedicated to kids if a kid was hurt he would throw an exercise bike in the back of his car and drive it to the kid's house Was there every day and cared for the kids Had kids excited to improve and Alberto was good with them Alberto stayed one more season after Galen left When the report came out on Oregon Project how did that impact the team? For a few years after he left talked to Alberto on a regular basis Galen still stops by to talk to our kids before State and go for a run with our kids Alberto would always try to find any way he could to help our kids get better Would push the envelope, but always staying within rules If ever a question he always asked about the rules to make sure he stayed legal You have had a lot of success since 2003 being first or second at State every year but one Culture was hard to build at the beginning 3-4 years started having a lot of success and kids bought into the culture Easier to keep it going than get it started What did you do to get that buy-in in the early years? We had a goal early on to be successful and win a state title When they are excited we ask more of them What is your summer program? We now meet 4 nights a week in the summer at different locations M/Th are a moderate effort with strides T/F uptempo Sunday's top kids get together for a long run on trails Open it up to anyone even other schools When more good kids, more people at your pace to run with What does early season training look like? First meet right before Labor Day and State early November When kids are confident they will run well Summer and early fall is to build confidence 5 weeks in the middle of the season we work really hard Last three weeks is confidence again Mid Sept going hard, 5k/3k work Always touching speed some with strides, 200s, 150 accelerations 1k work on trails and 400s Workout examples Most workouts are made up so not doing them more than once Taylor workout for what right for them that day 2 sets of 4, 8xK where each 4 is progression. A longer break between sets, shorter rest as go in set A lot of progression runs because builds confidence.  7xK, first one hard like a start of a race, then race pace or slightly slower for 5, then finish last hard If run top kids on Wednesday meet will make it the hardest day of the week so run 3 miles LT, 10 minutes then race at LT for another three miles Or 6-8x400 at 3k pace after the meet 3x 1000, 800, 600, 400 Will change workout on fly if see people struggling  Remind them running is hard When we want them to feel good will often do some sort of 400 workout  As we get to end, the last week, what does the last session look like? We have motto always be closing Pick up lots of spots in the last mile End of workout is the most important part, want to finish well Last week fairly hard Saturday, but not much volume, Sun med-long run so maybe 9-10 miles, Monday 2 sets of 4x200 progression with 30-second jog  36, 35, 34, 33, put on racing flats and run a little faster for next set, Tuesday moderate run at 45-50 minutes, Wednesday a couple 800s slower than race pace then 3 300s, Thurs 35-40 minute run, Friday jog the course, Saturday race You have built a program from nothing and consistent year after year, so what advice do you have for a young coach who may be taking over a program looking to build something out of it? Figure out what you believe in Stand up for what you believe Minor parts change all the time, philosophy or demands of kids never changes Don't expect kids to immediately get it, takes time Be incremental in expectations every year Use your parents and keep them involved Learn from the best What is that team philosophy? Everything is your choice, take responsibility To be good at running need to make hard choices Being good is hard sometimes have to make tough choices that friends won't understand

Hi everyone, You are listening to episode 13 of the Chasing Bravery Podcast. Today I am speaking with Tara Welling, a professional runner for sketchers, real estate agent, and most recently a coach for the specialized coaching business- RunDoyen…guys just s everyone knows Doyen is another word for coach, but specifically means a master at something…so cool. Tara and her husband currently live in Portland Oregon where Tara trains with High Performance West. Tara first turned pro in 2012, signing with Nike and the Oregon Project, but after 3 years of enduring injuries and subpar performances, she was feeling burnt out and decided to leave the sport indefinitely. he didn’t know when or if she would return to the sport, but she knew she needed a break and a new training environment. In late 2015, Tara started to get in shape again and fell back in love with running, joining High Performance West and signing a deal with Skechers Performance. Since her comeback, Tara has set PR’s in every distance, won noteworthy road national titles, but unfortunately has not been able to escape injuries. I’m going to quote Tara here because she puts it best, she says “I never considered myself injury prone before, however, having osteoporosis and the female athlete triad I have had to alter my training to put me in the best position possible to stay healthy. I now have a lower mileage program, with lots of cross training and weight lifting. I hope those listening can gain something from my story”. I know that I gained a lot from my conversation with Tara, she is a fantastic example of how it is more than possible to come back from injury and setback with a love for the sport that is still as strong as ever. Tara is also so upfront about a really important topic- the female athlete triad, and while we don’t come up with the solution on the show today – we have a conversation that is very transparent about this issue, which I think is a great first step no matter who you are- athlete, coach, parent, the list goes on. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/chasing-bravery/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/chasing-bravery/support

Welcome to Episode 59 of the Final Surge Podcast where today we welcome legendary coach Dennis Barker. Dennis was the long-time coach of Team USA Minnesota where his athletes achieved 75 top 3 finishes in US Championships and 29 different athletes made world championships teams. We talk about some fundamentals of training and his new book The River Road.   How did you get your start in running? You founded Team USA Minnesota in 2001, at that time there was Team Hanson, Mammoth, maybe Oregon Project around that time, how has that team aspect lead to a resurgence in American distance success? We were solid in the 70’s and 80’s, and we have had this resurgence, what happened in the 90’s where the US fell off the map so badly? USATF teaches a strict periodization where coaches such as Salazar do more year-round training, how have you seen that change? You mentioned you ran a lot of local races. If you look at local 5k/10k runners, how should they structure their year of training? How does a coach who has coached 29 World qualifiers move to high school coaching? How is training different besides just the volume? Your new book The River Road is a novel, the running community had Once A Runner, was your goal to write the next great running novel? As you wrote this you got the chance to think about the last 30-40 years of running. What has changed the most over that time?
