Listen "The blank-chested journeyman of American distance running (with Ben True)"
Episode Synopsis
It’s cross country running season on a ski-heavy endurance podcast. There's no better time and no better guest for Threshold right now than Ben True.
In college, Ben was a three sport All-American in cross country, skiing, and track and field. After having some confusion as to what sport to pursue, he landed as a runner... a runner with a clear Olympic trajectory. However, after three Olympic Trials that rendered several 4th place results, Ben reflects on what the Olympics truly are.
Ben will toe the line in his first marathon this year at the New York City marathon. We caught up with Ben, the sponsor-less runner with a sad, yet even more inspiring story.
With guest Ben True
Hosted by Chad Salmela
