Kara Goucher - 'I got worn down a lot'
Manage episode 487777798 series 3670625
Kara Goucher grew up with dreams of running in the Olympics. Invited to join the Nike Oregon project, it felt like the opportunity to compete and win a medal at the Games would be realised. She competed at the Olympics, World Championships and some of the best marathons in the world.
Then it turned horribly wrong.
She has a new book that details precisely what happened. We discussed that as well as what she is up to currently.
