She excelled at running from a young age and was offered a Nike sponsorship deal when she graduated from college. Then in 2004, she was invited to join a secretive, lavishly funded new team, dubbed the Nike Oregon Project. Coached by distance running legend Alberto Salazar, it seemed like the opportunity of a lifetime. Kara was soon winning a World Championship medal, going to the Olympics, and standing on the podium at the New York and Boston marathons, just like her coach. But behind the scenes, Salazar was hiding dark secrets. He pushed the limits of anti-doping rules, and created what Kara experienced as a culture of abuse, the extent of which she reveals in her book for the first time. Meanwhile, Nike stood by Alberto for years and proved itself capable of shockingly misogynistic corporate practices. Told with stunning honesty, The Longest Race is an unforgettable story and a call to action. Kara became a crusader for female athletes and a key witness helping to get Salazar banned from coaching at the Olympic level. Kara's memoir reveals how she broke through the fear of losing everything, bucked powerful forces to take control of her life and career, and reclaimed her love of running. 600 10 $a Goucher, Kara. 600 10 $a Salazar, Alberto, $d 1958- 610 20 $a Nike (Firm) $x Corrupt practices. 610 20 $a Nike (Firm). $b Oregon Project. 650 0 $a Women runners $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Olympic athletes $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Sports sponsorship $z United States. 650 0 $a Long-distance runners $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Track and field $x Corrupt practices. 650 0 $a Doping in sports $z United States. 655 7 $a Audiobooks. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Pilon, Mary, $e narrator. $e narrator. 941 $a 2 945 $a cdab 952 $l DBPE173 $d 20230620010125.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20230504010148.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=FC248D1EEA4011EDA3E935F65AECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
