Podcast: Grad student trains for this week’s Chicago Marathon
When Khalid Khannouchi broke the men’s marathon world record in 1999, NU graduate student Lauren Reinke greeted him at the finish line: as a worker, she ensured runners got tested for drugs. Now, she’s training for the 26.2-mile Chicago Marathon on Oct. 7, and in the process has battled salmonella and run in the dead of winter.
Listen to her story below, or download it to your iPod for inspiration on your own run.
