Summary

Mary Cain sits down in front of a live audience at Mile High Run Club (NoMad) in New York City to catch up since the last time she appeared on the show in May. In November, a New York Times op-doc was released where Cain reveals she suffered mental and physical abuse under the leadership of Alberto Salazar. She impressed many on the track with her talent but later broke five bones, misser her period for three years and had suicidal thoughts due to disordered eating that she developed under Salazar’s extreme training methods. It was one of the most impactful stories in the sport for 2019. I followed up the New York Times piece by reporting and publishing a story for Sports Illustrated where several former Oregon Project members validated Cain's claims and extended the timeline with stories of mistreatment going back to 2008. Read and watch the NY Times story by Lindsay Crouse here: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/07/opinion/nike-running-mary-cain.html Read my follow up ' Inside the Toxic Culture of the Nike Oregon Project 'Cult' from Sports Illustrated here: https://www.si.com/track-and-field/2019/11/13/mary-cain-nike-oregon-project-toxic-culture-alberto-salazar-abuse-investigation Important: Cain is not alone in telling her story. here are many of stories about coaching being verbally and physically abusive, weight shaming and much more.
