Manage episode 168031323 series 1043684
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. (2:34)
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. (28:06)
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. (59:18)
