Description

Why Steve Prefontaine still matters today, including an excerpt from Shoe Dog, the memoir from Nike cofounder Phil Knight. Then we have a conversation with Frank Shorter, one of Pre’s closest friends and competitors in running. (1:25) David Willey speaks with Julia Lucas, who missed making the 2012 Olympic team in the 5,000 by just .04 seconds. She takes us through the most audacious race of her career and how she’s tried moving forward from that day. (34:20) In the Kick, we recap the highlights from the first four days of the U.S. Olympic Track Trials, discuss a nonagenarian who had a great week, and the next challenge for Ryan Hall.
