Runners (and aspiring runners!) looking for inspiration and erudite insight will love this episode with Nicholas Thompson, author of the just-released book The Running Ground: A Father, a Son, and the Simplest of Sports. This father runner and cancer survivor talks with hosts Sarah Bowen Shea and Tish Hamilton about:

-the logistics of running to + from work in NYC; 

-how he got a lot faster in his 40s; 

-the reality (or not!) of pain during an endurance race;

-a recent Grand Canyon adventure with his buddies; and,

-a memorable 100-penny analogy to implement in your next race.

Before Nick joins the conversation around 7:20, the hosts talk about two-a-day athletic activities.
