101 | Steve Magness, Coach & Author Aug 05, 2022

Show notes

It's long been a dream of ours to interview Steve Magness, author of Do Hard Things, whistleblower of the Nike Oregon Project, and podcast co-host of Coaching With Magness and Marcus, where he dispenses his invaluable knowledge on running and coaching. This was a great conversation that could've gone on for hours, with loads of great insight into the run mentality.
