Here is a good question that might win you a bet at a bar: which American distance runner has made every outdoor world’s team since 2009 but never once ran in the Olympics? Dan Huling, and all of his dry wit and wisdom, is the answer to that question.

So what does a grown up version of some high school kid from the west Chicago suburbs think about the sport of running? How does someone make it from Rhode Island, to Miami, Ohio to being one of the most accomplished members of Bowerman Track Club?

With the 2017 World Championships in London, England only months away you can’t help but wonder if Dan’s track record plays into his mental and physical preparation every time he toes the line to compete…

Next month POAM will be interviewing one of the Bowerman women so subscribe on Itunes for the next episode.
