This week on the Ostrich Running Podcast, Nick takes Jarett to the heart of running culture — Eugene, Oregon: TrackTown USA. From learning about the legacy of Steve Prefontaine and how he challenged the system for American runners, to diving into modern running science at Aletheia Run Lab, this episode explores how running has evolved — and what still hasn’t changed. The guys unpack:
• Why so many elite athletes used to be broke
• Whether companies still profit more than the athletes themselves
• Lessons from analyzing running form and efficiency
• And what everyday runners can learn from TrackTown culture
Plus, Jarett gets a crash course in running history, and Nick shares insights he’s bringing into his own training heading into upcoming races. Whether you’re chasing a PR or just trying to survive your next long run, this episode connects running’s past, present, and future. 🎧 Lace up and join the conversation.
