VIDEO: Jerry Schumacher of Bowerman Track Club Interview!

Jerry Schumacher speaks! The reclusive founder and head coach of the Bowerman Track Club chatted with our own Dan Fitzgerald, co-founder of Heartbreak, for over an hour the other night. It’s clear why Jerry’s athletes love him so much: he exudes joy for what he does and for athletes who put it all on the line. Jerry and Dan cover the team's last races in late February when BTC lit up the BU track, coaching philosophies and inspirations, "Jerry miles", the Shalane effect, the fact that upon entering college neither knew who Prefontaine was, and rapid fire questions like Fast Braids or french bread, Shelby or Centro. It's a fun watch (or listen) certain to leave you inspired to go hammer your own 10 miler. Special thanks for Nike Running for making this opportunity possible. Enjoy! (Please excuse the two guys for their technical challenges.)
