Summary

Nick Symmonds, a two-time Olympian, announced in January that he’ll retire at the end of 2017. But stepping off the track doesn’t mean he’ll be scaling back his athletic endeavors. Nick spoke with RW earlier this year and made it pretty clear he’s got some truly big goals on the horizon. (2:00) Two brothers—ages 12 and 15—talk about the running streak they’ve been on...for years. (37:16) In the Kick, how one editor ran her fastest 5K ever, the oldest woman to ever run a half marathon, and 112 runners enter the record books in one of the oddest ways possible.
