Running: Making Strides - a podcast by Dell Technologies

Many believe humans were born to run. It’s our evolutionary advantage over other mammals. But were we really meant to run over  25 miles in a single race? Though the modern marathon got its start in 1896, almost a century passed before long distance running really took off in the mainstream. It took athletes willing to push their bodies to the limit, defy the conventions of the day and standardize racecourses to help running reach its stride.

Now with over a million people running marathons each year, researchers, athletic wear companies and elite runners are looking for new ways to break records and run longer and faster with fewer injuries. In the race to the future of sport, how will technology and data impact the next generation of runners?

Find out on this episode of Trailblazers. Featuring Roger Robinson, Jos Hermens, Gary Corbitt, Kathrine Switzer, Wouter Hoogkamer and  Reed Ferber.
