Section: Special Features, Interviews, Podcasts
Today’s podcast features my interview with the legendary Jim Ryun.
At only 19 years old, Jim became a hero to millions by setting the H.S. world record and becoming the first high school student to ever run a mile in under 4 minutes. Jim was also a three time Olympian, held five world records and served as an elected member of the U.S. House of representatives from 1997 – 2006.
Download the podcast to hear Jim discuss the Dream Mile, when Alan Webb broke his American record, the thought of running for President, his role models, winning back his Congressional seat and much more!
