Kara Goucher grew up with Olympic dreams. 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 had done. 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. The Longest Race is an unforgettable story that is "as interesting as it is important" (Molly Huddle, two-time Olympian) and also a crucial 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. The Longest Race will leave you "motivated, empowered, and ready to take on the world" (Allyson Felix, Olympic gold medalist) as it reveals how Kara broke through the fear of losing everything, bucked powerful forces to take control of her life and career, and reclaimed her love of running. 538 $a Requires the Libby app or a modern web browser. 650 17 $a Nonfiction. $2 OverDrive 650 7 $a Biography & Autobiography. $2 OverDrive 650 7 $a Sociology. $2 OverDrive 650 7 $a Sports & Recreations. $2 OverDrive 655 7 $a Electronic books. $2 local 700 1 $a Goucher, Kara. 856 40 $u http://link.overdrive.com/?websiteID=251&titleID=9055393 $z Click to download here. 856 4 $3 Excerpt $u https://samples.overdrive.com/?crid=c6658aa7-af43-4931-82f8-b69148a666b0&.epub-sample.overdrive.com $z Sample 856 4 $3 Image $u https://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-100/5054-1/%7BC6658AA7-AF43-4931-82F8-B69148A666B0%7DIMG100.JPG $z Large cover image 856 4 $3 Thumbnail $u https://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-200/5054-1/%7BC6658AA7-AF43-4931-82F8-B69148A666B0%7DIMG200.JPG $z Thumbnail cover image 856 40 $3 Click for more information $u https://api.overdrive.com/v1/collections/v1L1B0wAAAA2Z/products/c6658aa7-af43-4931-82f8-b69148a666b0 $x 1370 941 $a 1 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20231004010131.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5AEC545A627B11EE9D8B625031ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
