My legacy in sport will never be because I win a medal.

It just never will.

My legacy and sport will always, I hope, be that I will always fight for sport to be better for people.

I can win a gold medal tomorrow.

And honestly, that matters less than what I did this past November.

Hey, everyone.

You are listening to episode 122 of Hurtle, a wellness-focused podcast where I sit down with inspiring individuals to talk about everything from their big ones to how they've gotten through some of life's toughest moments.

On the show, you can expect vulnerability, motivation, and candid discussions with everyone from

top athletes to aspiring entrepreneurs on what it really takes to follow your passions.

My mission is simple. To inspire you to be your best self, move with intention, and have

some fun along the way. I'm your host, Emily Abadi, and this week on the

show, I am chatting with runner Mary Kane. Another top requested episode since she opened up last

November to the New York Times about the emotional and physical abuse she received during her time

training with the Nike Oregon Project. Now, if you've never heard of the Nike Oregon

Project, it's an elite running team, and she ran on the Oregon Project under distance running

coach Alberto Salazar. Now, last year, Salazar was handed a four-year ban by the U.S.

anti-doping agency for orchestrating and facilitated prohibited doping conduct. Shortly after that

happened, Nike disbanded the Oregon Project. Now, let's get back to Mary. For those of you who don't know

her history, she excelled at running from a really, really young age. At 17, she was already a

record-breaking phenomenon of sorts. She made the U.S. team for the 2013 World Championships in Moscow and advanced

to the 1500 meter final and finished ninth, becoming the youngest person ever to make a world

final in the 1500. In 2014, she won the 3,000 meters at the World Junior Championships and also set a ton of U.S. Junior records.
