Summary

Jared Ward is a statistician, numbers geek, and and one of the best marathon runners in the world. After a year of stellar performances, he discusses how he plans to make the most out of his race at the 2017 Boston Marathon (with a little help from the data that he so loves). (2:26) We spend time in a place where runners take their post-workout recovery very seriously, and we reveal how you can maximize your own rehab at home. (29:04) In the Kick, some good samaritans help near a half-marathon finish line, 211 laps on the indoor oval, crushing a world record in a suit, and better pre-bed sleep habits.
