S11 E3: Running the Long Race With Olympian Kara Goucher

From being inspired by her grandfather to run to becoming an Olympian to finding fulfillment in post-Olympic life, long-distance runner Kara Goucher has lived a life marked with many accomplishments — as well as challenges that she's risen to meet with vulnerability and courage.

In this episode, Goucher, who's featured in the July/August 2025 issue of Experience Life, opens up about her career and the struggles with self-confidence that she faced throughout it, as well as her time at Nike's Oregon Project and what it took to stand up and share her experiences with emotional and sexual abuse.

She also talks about her commitment to advocating for others and clean sport, and how she stays connected to the sport she has such a passion for now that she's retired from competitive running.
