Summary

An inside look at what it takes to keep a race green. Digital Editor Chris Michel joins in on a ritual in which our colleague Warren Greene laces up his shoes, pulls on plastic gloves, and runs his own version of our half marathon course. One that requires hundreds of stops—to pick up trash tossed by runners. (01:55) An interview with Bill Pierce and Scott Murr of the Furman Institute of Running and Scientific Training in Greenville, South Carolina. They are the authors of the new book, Train Smart, Run Forever. (15:28) In the Kick, we’re talking about a fantasy race that would be really fun to watch, a singlet that’s gone around the world, and a very odd performance enhancer.
