The Drop

069 | Nick Willis, The Mile King


Listen Later

It's the most wonderful time of the year: snow, presents, hot chocolate, and sub-4 minute miles. That last one might be exclusive to our guest this week, Nick Willis. He's looking to extend his streak of sub-4 miles to 20 years on New Years at Tracksmith's Midnight Mile. We talk about the run that's decades in the making, the importance of cross-training, racing style, skateboarding, and how parenthood has made him a stronger runner (36:58). The gang also gives their picks for the best winter running gear of the year.
