An interview with Jordan Hasay, who this year at the Boston Marathon took third place in her marathon debut in 2:23:00. The race was an emotional one for the 25-year-old, as it came just months after the sudden passing of her mother. Jordan spoke to contributing editor Sarah Lorge Butler about Boston, her prodigy-like talents on the track, and how running has been instrumental in helping her process her grief. (2:03)

In the Kick, we recap some of the most intriguing stories in the world of running, including a spectacular Spartan Race finish, an unwelcome group runner, and a cop you won’t want to run from. (40:29)
