Your favorite 2 Black Runners recorded a LIVE podcast at RunHub Northwest the week of the 2022 U.S. Outdoor T&F championships to have a discussion with Rachel Schneider-Smith (2021 Olympian), Connor Burns (HS Junior Class Mile Record Holder), and Billy Cvecko (T&F Media Personality). During this interview they discussed the importance of building a running community, how to have a breakthrough in running, and some fun questions led by Billy Da Toad. Also a protest in Eugene, OR that happened during the interview would spark discussion during the podcast.
Special thanks to RunHub Northwest in Eugene, Oregon for allowing us to use their beautiful running store for our interview. Location: 515 High St, Eugene, OR 97401
