Summary

"You really let it loose, and then kinda black out, and then all of a sudden you’re a bronze medalist."

We've got The Goose! Yared Nuguse isn't just one of the fastest men in the world — he's also one of the most loved, and in this conversation you'll quickly see exactly why. Yared is a professional runner who is sponsored by On and specializes in the 1500m and the mile. (He has dreams of running a mile world record.) Here, we're talking about how winning Olympic Bronze this summer in the 1500m in Paris changed Yared's life, and about what he's been up to since. Plus, the World Indoor Silver Medalist (in the 3000m) and two-time Zurich Diamond League champion (in the 1500m) talks about his love for his pet tortoise, Tyro, and Taylor Swift. Living for the hope of it all, indeed!
