Live from the NYRR RUNCENTER featuring the New Balance Run Hub, hosts Rob and Becs were joined by Olympian Yared Nuguse, who’ll be facing a deep competitive field this Sunday as he makes his debut at the New Balance 5th Avenue Mile. The Louisville native once planned to become an orthodontist while studying biochemistry at the University of Notre Dame, before focusing his talent on the track. Nuguse went on to earn bronze in the 1,500 meters at the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics and, in 2025, set an indoor mile world record at the Millrose Games—his third straight NYRR Wanamaker Mile title. For those listening to this episode on 710 WOR, stay tuned because directly after the show will be live coverage of the 2025 New Balance 5th Avenue Mile!
