A racer will see the line and lean in- Mr. Ryan Hill everyone. 10x All-American, World Indoor Champs Silver medalist, name scrawled on practically every top 10 list in the American record books. On paper and on the track, Ryan has left the hills of North Carolina and developed into one of the most accomplished American distance runners of the last decade. This interview from Mid- 2020 gives you an insight into the psyche of an honest competitor, a last look before Ryan’s ultimate departure to Ben Rosario’s group and Hoke One One in Flagstaff. Ryan knows how much it costs to make a world championship team, and he knows, The Price of a Mile. 📸 @cortneywhite_ Regarding the second photo- Ryan, you are missed every day at Bowerman practice, and I wish the best for you with your new team in Flagstaff Az. I can’t think of a higher honour or better send off than a mile high salute from Colorado legend and hall of fame running back, Terrell Davis!

THE PRICE OF A MILE IS BACK. Moh Ahmed, Lopez Lomong and I sat down before the Portland 5,000 that took place at the Nike campus on Sept. 11. We were paced by Moh for a majority of the race before I finished in 12:58.10. Lopez ran 13:00.13 and Matthew Centrowitz ran 13:00.39. We all dipped under the 2020 Olympic standard of 13:13.50. This is sort of an audio diary about how we felt before that race, how we felt coming out of the training camp, gambling in the sport, their expectations for the world championships in Doha. These are just some of the thoughts before one of the greatest moments of our lives. Definitely mine. So this is a really special podcast for me. Oh...We also talk about the social media beef with Paul Chelimo. ▶ Follow us: twitter.com/CitiusMag instagram.com/citiusmag facebook.com/citiusmag ✩ Connect with Woody twitter.com/KincaidWoody twitter.com/POAMpod instagram.com/priceofamile 📷 How Lao/ IG: @howlauphotography 👔Biz Inquiries/Write Us: [email protected]

Kate Grace. California XC state champ, Yale alum, professional runner. But not all paths up the mountain of potential are straight. After a pair of seasons battling injury, doubt, disappointment, BTC's (almost) newest member persevered and became US middle distance running's unexpected front runner. Doesn't matter if it's Millrose. Doesn't matter if it's Dempsey. Zurich. Portland. Kate Grace has returned. And that dominance doesn't look like it's going away, either. Did we mention Chris Derrick is co-hosting? No? Well, he is. Find out why people in Portland, Oregon are stoked to welcome the 2016 Olympian to the Rose City on this edition of POAM.

Alexi Pappas loves to tell stories. She writes, she runs, and when you hear her speak you can't help but become engrossed in what she has to say. In actuality, the most interesting story Alexi tells is about her life and the places she's been. Her personal journey includes growing up in the Bay, exploring creativity and running in Hanover, NH, mindful development into a national class runner on the trails of Eugene, all before representing her Greek heritage at the Rio Olympic games. Through her travels, Alexi has developed admiration and relationships with many people she considers role models. What she realizes now is that she has grown into quite the role model herself.

If you think there aren't any good guys in the sport of track and field, then you haven't met Andrew Bumbalough. Tennessee native, foster parent, and the man in the middle of one USA track's most curious race DQ decisions, "Bumby" has been integral to running culture since his days as a Hoya. Woody Kincaid takes a break from training in Mammoth Lakes to bring you this month's edition of POAM. Mammoth Crib: Train in Mammoth http://www.visitmammoth.com/crib

A Price Of Mile Special Edition: Cooped up in a cabin, ideas are flying around POAM HQ. This episode listen to the professional runners from Bowerman Track Club answer the hard truths and the sweet nothings that the twitter audience asked about the Track World Championships in London England. Chris Derrick comes off the top rope with his stance on doping in the sport and the infamous Edris "Mo-bot" dance after dethroning Mo Farah in the 5000m, Andrew Bumbalough calms us with his voice of reason, and it wouldn't be complete without a glimpse into the mind of enigmatic BTC coach, Jerry Schumacher. Enjoy.

Chris Derrick is running's favorite bibliophile. 3x a national champion on the XC course and a 14x All-American at Stanford, C.D. has been reading races and dictating paces since his standout high school run of 13:55 for 5k. But Chris is not your average professional athlete. His knowledge extends beyond workouts and European stadiums. Woody Kincaid hosts an insightful and delightful discussion on the natural order of things in this edition of POAM. Follow Chris and his journey to the Chicago Marathon @CDerrickRun on Twitter and Instagram.

Moh Ahmed transitions in life have always been seamless. The son of Somali refugees, Moh spent his early life in Kenya before moving to Canada in 2001 and discovering an innate talent for running. Fast forward to 2012 and Moh is running for Wisconsin, making the Canadian Olympic team and working towards a successful professional career. Now a seasoned member of the Bowerman Track Club, Moh is ever so patiently working towards getting on the medal stand. He missed Olympic Bronze by seconds in Rio and after just missing the 13 minute barrier this winter in Boston, the journey doesn’t become so much about when but how. Moh Ahmed is poetry. Let Woody Kincaid show you the rhyme and meter in this month’s edition of The Price of a Mile.

You don’t need to look much further than the two-toned hair of Shelby Houlihan to find the future of American distance running. Rolling off a solid Olympic debut, Houlihan won double national titles this winter and looks poised to make her first outdoor worlds team as a 24 year old. With that expectation of carrying the torch comes a lot of pressure, something Shelby is not afraid to talk about in this podcast. Let Woody Kincaid introduce to you one of the more vibrant personalities in the sport on this month’s edition of The Price of a Mile.

Here is a good question that might win you a bet at a bar: which American distance runner has made every outdoor world’s team since 2009 but never once ran in the Olympics? Dan Huling, and all of his dry wit and wisdom, is the answer to that question. So what does a grown up version of some high school kid from the west Chicago suburbs think about the sport of running? How does someone make it from Rhode Island, to Miami, Ohio to being one of the most accomplished members of Bowerman Track Club? With the 2017 World Championships in London, England only months away you can’t help but wonder if Dan’s track record plays into his mental and physical preparation every time he toes the line to compete… Next month POAM will be interviewing one of the Bowerman women so subscribe on Itunes for the next episode.
