Summary: Adam and Taylor are joined by a very special guest, the one and only Nick Willis who chats about his most recent, and possibly best “Michigan” workout ever (1:45), the plan and reasoning behind pacing his New Zealand teammates to the 1500m Olympic Standard (6:00), the formation of the ‘Very Nice Track Club’ plus the story behind Ron Warhurst’s tattoo (11:45). Then an unbelievable story of Nick and Tim Broe getting honored at a Michigan football game, and then being immediately kicked out of the stadium (15:45) followed by his love for the Detroit Pistons and a near dunk at a Boston Celtics games and we take a trip down memory lane to the 2004 Bowerman Mile (19:10). Before wrapping up, we tackle an interesting topic of “getting old” as a professional runner and the pressures American runners face that the East African runners may not face (21:25). After being graced with Nick’s presence, Adam and Taylor hit a lightening round of topics including NCAA Regionals (32:00), a look ahead to the Olympic Trials (41:00), we play another round of “Who Tweeted It: Track Athlete or Kanye West?!” (50:15) and we get Taylor’s reaction of her first time viewing, “Chewbacca Mom” at the very end of the episode!
