Adam and Taylor are joined by a very special guest, the one and only Nick Willis, who chats about his most recent—and possibly best—“Michigan” workout ever (1:45), the plan and reasoning behind pacing his New Zealand teammates to the 1500m Olympic Standard (6:00), the formation of the "Very Nice Track Club," plus, the story behind Ron Warhurst’s tattoo (11:45). Then, an unbelievable story of Nick and Tim Broe getting honored at a Michigan football game, and being immediately kicked out of the stadium (15:45), followed by his love for the Detroit Pistons and a near dunk at a Boston Celtics games. We also take a trip down memory lane to the 2004 Bowerman mile (19:10). Before wrapping up, we tackle the interesting topic of “getting old” as a professional runner and the pressures American runners face that the East African runners may not (21:25). After being graced with Nick’s presence, Adam and Taylor hit a lightning round of topics including NCAA Regionals (32:00), a look ahead to the Olympic Trials (41:00), and we play another round of “Who Tweeted It: Track Athlete or Kanye West?!” (50:15). To wrap things up, we get Taylor’s reaction of her first time viewing “Chewbacca Mom” at the very end of the episode!
