Running Rogue

Episode #238: Hope and Houlihan


Listen Later

With this episode, I take a departure from my usual training content to talk to you as fans. Yesterday, we learned that Shelby Houlihan, American record holder in the 1500m and 5K, is now serving a 4-year ban for ingesting a banned substance. She claims that the banned substance - Nandrolone - was ingested via a burrito from a food truck. WADA did not buy her story and confirmed her ban via the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).

In this episode, I discuss why I don't believe Houlihan's story to this point, but also why I think you should still have hope in the sport. True or not, please, please don't let this make you jaded. There is too much inspiration to still be had. Instead, dig in, get educated, and then choose who to invest in. As a fan, you have that choice, and I encourage you to use it.
