Lauren Fleshman is a former professional track and field athlete, 5000m American National Champion, and New York Times bestselling author.

We discuss: why so many girls quit sport in their teenage years, why she decided to write a memoir, how she feels about being described as one of the best distance runners to never make the Olympics, the difficulties of being a Nike athlete, and the excellence of elite sport, and much more!
