This was a very interesting audiobook about Nike and the world of professional running, told from the perspective of one of the women who knows it best. Kara Goucher writes a personal, unflinching account of her career, focusing on her time at the Nike Oregon Project with coach Alberto Salazar. I learned a lot while listening, mainly because I don't know anything about professional track and field/running.

This is a story that is all too common among female professionals; I am always looking to listen to and support another woman's story. I appreciated the detail Kara goes into in her memoir - it's clear a lot of time, effort, and heart went into constructing her book and telling her story.

I think this is an important read for anyone in the sport world, especially Nike loyalists. I would recommend, however, that you pick this up as a physical/digital book over the audiobook. Normally, I'm a big fan of authors narrating their own works -especially memoirs - but you can tell that Goucher isn't really in her element here. The narration is a little stilted and emotionless and came off more like a student reading their essay aloud in class than an emotional recount of one's life. I still really enjoyed this book, but would recommend you read it yourself.
