Look up the word "goat" in the dictionary, and you'll see a photo of Joan Benoit Samuelson. OK, maybe not really — but Joan's the first woman to ever with the Olympic Marathon in its inaugural year for women in 1984. We had the opportunity to sit down in Orlando this year during the Olympic Trials, and this was definitely a pinch-me moment.
With a plethora of wise takeaways, we chat through so many things in this week's episode: Nike’s Project Dreamweaver, navigating injury and longevity, how she balanced the sport with growing her family, and her opinion on how the culture of the sport has changed.
