Running Things

Laser-focused with Shelby Houlihan

Episode Summary

A huge show for the start of season two, as Riley is joined by Bowerman Track Club star Shelby Houlihan. Shelby is a dominant force in the 1500m and the 5000m in the US, holding the American record in both events. With the postponement of the Olympics until the summer of 2021, Shelby spent this season competing in intra-squad races against her teammates – and lowered her American record in the 5000m by 10 seconds in the process. Shelby talks about how she stays motivated in turbulent times and says she thinks she can go even faster in the 5000m. We also hear about how Shelby spends her offseason – including what her go-to snack food is when it’s couch time.
