Welcome to the Runner's World Show, where each week we entertain you, inspire you, and inform you about all things running.

I'm David Willie, editor-in-chief of Runner's World.

This week, in the kick, the story behind the man with the most intriguing finish line photo from the Boston Marathon,

and a super-fast winning time at the London Marathon.

But first, my conversation with Olympic marathoner Shalane Flanagan.

I spoke to Shalane at our Runner's World pop-up store on Boylston Street in Boston, the morning before the marathon.

She didn't run the race this year because she injured herself over the winter.

In front of a live audience with lots of cameras going off, she spoke to me about that

They're incredible.

They're attached to the hip.

They finish each other's sentences.

They're the cutest things, and they love track.

So it's like, everyone's like, oh, you guys got this running connection.

I'm like, well, yeah, but like 200 is far for them. But, you know, I show up to the track meets and I'm there and I support them and cheer them on. They just ran in Eugene this weekend. They ran the 4x-100 and they texted me as soon as they were finished and they're like, we're fifth in the state in the four by one and so I'm like right on this is great so we've
