Kara Goucher is one of the greatest runners in United States’ history.But for the two-time Olympian, World Athletics Championships silver medalist and podium finisher at the Boston and New York Marathons, her hardest challenge might have been taking on Nike, marathon star and coach Alberto Salazar and exposing the darkest secrets in the running world.
Goucher trained at Salazar’s elite Nike Oregon Project and was exposed to a toxic training environment of alleged doping and abuse until becoming a whistleblower to the F.B.I. and U.S.
Anti-Doping Agency which resulted in the suspension of the famed coach.
Join Here & Now co-host Robin Young for a conversation with Goucher about her new book “The Longest Race: Inside the Secret World of Abuse, Doping, and Deception on Nike's Elite Running Team.”
Copies of the book will be available for purchase from our bookstore partner Brookline Booksmith.
Goucher will sign books after the conversation.
