189. Running Industry Hot Takes with Phoebe Wright

"When you're in a powerless position and the rest of your career is totally dependent on what you do, you aren't going to burn bridges. You don't have many bridges to walk across."

Phoebe Wright is a former professional middle-distance runner who spent six years competing as a Nike-sponsored athlete. Phoebe, an 800-meter specialist from Tennessee, became a five-time national champion before retiring after the 2016 Olympics. On this episode, she reflects on her time with Nike and talks about some of the big stories in running right now, including #DreamMaternity and Mary Cain. She also talks about confidence, overtraining, and being an advocate for the running industry and its athletes.
