- Опубліковано 19 жов 2024
- If you think this will be a typical recap + preview show, then you don't know Des and Kara well enough!
Yes, you get event recaps from the NCAA Track and Field Championships, and you get race previews from 800m to 10000m for the Olympic Trials, including all of their reactions and sleeper picks.
But... you also get another Kara Goucher sliding-doors moment, info on a family member that Des can't keep up with on the run, hot takes on spiky super shoes, NIL deals, athletes turning pro, the unsponsored Eric Holt, the newly unsponsored Fred Kerley, plus an idea for the first piece of NAU merch that would no doubt sell out FAST (pun intended).
Dance your way over to your favorite podcast platform and give this one a listen. Then, go sign up for the next Nobody Asked Us LIVE in Eugene on June 29th. Thank you to Brooks Running for hosting!

You two are the absolute BEST. Would love to hear thoughts on this - swimming and running (in my opinion, as someone who spectates both worlds) are similar in terms of visibility, TV air time, etc, etc... This year, the vibes of the swimming trials are UNHINGED. They've had attendance of ~20k and its pretty incredible. How can we do the same with track trials? What needs to happen to light the fire?
Kara saying "It's supposed to be hard. It's not supposed to be easy." Spot on. I don't know if you all are fans of The Wire. But great moment when the young kid Dukie is climbing over the fence and gets snagged on barbed wire at the top and says, "Dag, it's stickin'!" and the old junk man who sent him up there says, "Course it sticks. It's barbed wire. Stickin' what it's 'sposed to do!" That's a life lesson.
Giving thumbs up before I even listen since it's such a nice treat!
I would enjoy hearing more about Kara's dancing background!

No doubt Des should be an agent
not totally against it
I think if you are encouraged or not discouraged from swooshing your way to victory, the people around PV are doing her a disservice.
Ohhhh “swooshing your way to victory” what a term!!
