The Program: Nike Oregon Project
Series of the Year - Best of 2013
At the start of 2013 Flotrack took a step out of the box to provide original, premium content to its community. As with most changes in life, this change and addition was receieved with mixed reviews in the beginning. However as people saw the inside look they were getting into some of the best athletes in the US and the world, the community soon hopped on board. The content that Flotrack produced was like none other in the running world. 84 miles in 48 hours with Cam Levins, inside of the mind of the most business savvy 800m runner Nick Symmonds, the return of Lukas Verzbicas after his life changing accident, Bernard Lagat's prep into his first ever half marathon, coverage of the most impressive streak in NCAA XC at Wisconsin and the list goes on. There was a lot of amazing footage over the year, but none of it topped the Nike Oregon Project in "The Program." The idea behind The Program was to take a look at some of the best team and best training groups in the US to see what makes them so successful. What better place to start the new series with the most successful distance-based group in the country and arguably the world.
The six part series gave the community an all-access pass with stars like double Olympic Champ Mo Farah, Olympic Silver medalist Galen Rupp, World silver medalist Matt Centrowitz, Dathan Ritzenhein and of course, the coach of the group, Alberto Salazar. In-depth interviews, training footage, behind the scenes from Park City and more provided the more knowledge and insight about the group than ever before. Below is a breakdown of the six part series (seven including the bonus episode). If you haven't seen them yet, its not too late!
Thanks to all of those who subscribed, it was a blast bringing you the best running footage the world has ever seen. And with the success from 2013, we'll be bringing you even more in 2014!

Full 6 Part Series Out: The Program Nike Oregon Project
The Program: Nike Oregon Project is Flotrack's finest and most acclaimed premium offering to date. A six part series, the feature provides viewers with a behind the scenes exposition on one of the finest running groups in the world. The Program is filled with character pieces on Mo Farah, Galen Rupp, Dathan Ritzenhein, Mathew Centrowitz and Alberto Salazar. It also features episodes chronicling the Nike Oregon Project's training as well as a remarkable anecdotal piece that relives the Project's time at the London Olympics, leading up to the 10k final where members, Rupp and Farah, took home silver and gold medals.
Below is also a bonus episode on the near death experience that changed Alberto Salazar's life. Beneath that is a chronological listing of parts one through six of The Program. Episode release dates listed next to episode title.
Episode 1: The Untold Olympic Story (7/16)
In part one of our six part series, Alberto Salazar, Galen Rupp and Mo Farah reveal their training and build up through the 2012 London Olympics. Viewers are taken behind the scenes with the NOP as they discuss the lead up to race day and the unfolding of the historic Olympic 1ok final that crowned Galen Rupp, Olympic Silver Medalist, and Mo Farah, Olympic Champion.
User Review: "Probably the best video I've seen in my entire life."
Episode 2: Dathan and the Marathon (7/23)
In part two, viewers are given a close look at Dathan Ritzenhein -the man some consider to be the greatest high school runner in US history. The intrigue in Ritz's story stems from his own lack of satisfaction at what he has accomplished in his running career. The Olympian and former AR holder still has one goal in mind: to attain international glory in the marathon.
User Review: "Ritz is one of the hardest working, most talented and motivated athletes. Love this video and the Oregon Project Series. Well done Flotrack. Keep up the great work."
Episode 3: Training Days (7/30)
In part three, viewers are given an exposition of the group's mission statement: to develop American distance runners who can medal in World championships and Olympics. The meat of the episode is presented on a platter of workouts: a weight training session, a long run, a track workout.
User Review: "Outstanding! Every time I watch these episodes I feel an overwhelming urge to go on a run. I've also started incorporating more core strength work into my training. Thanks Flotrack for the inside look at NOP."
Episode 4: Centro (8/6)
In part four, Centro describes developing his skills early on, under the tutelage of his father, a two time Olympian and the head coach at American University. He then discusses his transition to the NOP, his 1500m final at the Olympics, his psyche: cocky vs confident, and he badgers team mate, Dathan Ritzenhein, into a two mile race off at the end of the summer...among other things...
User Review: "Stellar video. The quality and presentation have gotten so good with this new series. I would take Ritz. The old man will go out hard and drop him."
Episode 5: Alberto Addresses the Critics (8/13)
In part five, hear from the most cerebral coach in running as he tackles the sport's most relevant issues. Our most important episode yet, 'State of Track' gives viewers an unfiltered look at Alberto Salazar as he takes on Nike Oregon Project skeptics, discusses the progression of athletes, Mo Farah and Galen Rupp, and comments on the "black cloud" that hangs over track as a result of modern-day doping.
User Review: "This should have the most views out of any of the videos in this six part series."
Episode 6: Life at 8,000 Feet (8/27)
Part six of The Program: Nike Oregon Project takes us to altitude camp. Salazar has been taking running groups to Park City, UT for over a decade, and NOP members use the month and a half long training camp to prepare for US Championships. Salazar firmly believes in the benefits of living and training at altitude so camps like the one presented in this episode will continue to be a staple of The Project's regimen.
User Review: "This was awesome. Just wish it was longer and showed more training."
Bonus Episode: Salazar's Death (9/3)
In this bonus episode of The Program, Salazar reveals the circumstances that brought him face to face with death, describes the unfolding of the situation and reveals how his near death experience changed his life for the better.
