Episode 33: Breaking the 2-Hour Marathon
1 hour 10 minutes Posted Dec 15, 2016 at 12:00 am.
A behind-the-scenes look at Nike’s audacious attempt to break one of the most formidable barriers in running—the sub-two-hour marathon. We hear from the elite runners involved, members of the Nike team working on the Breaking2 project, and we provide our own perspective on the attempt.
Inside Broadway’s first a cappella musical—In Transit. We talk to one of the show’s creators, Sara Wordsworth, about how her own running experience helped her create the running storyline that’s in the show.
In the Kick, a pair of classic—and hard to find—running shoes goes for big bucks when up for auction, a runner finds a great way to fit some golf into his run schedule, and more tips for going long on the treadmill.
