3:58 "It's great to be a great runner but it's more important to be a good person."

So back in 72, yeah I'm that old, my buddy Dirk and I hitched up to Eugene to watch the Olympic Trials. We camped in a park above the Oregon campus. And hey, a station wagon with a camera out back came driving through our campground with Eric Segal, wrote Love Story, running with Steve Prefontaine!! Just like the Shalane video above. Shalane Flanagan! Thanks for being the fantastic runner, author and person that you are!! (I still have that photo with you and Marlee from the Reebok High School championships at the Reggie Center in Boston from 2008! You made a little girls dream come true!!)

[@user-rg4yk4jr1y]

Those were great times to be a runner.

[@eira777]

She is such an idol! Looking so strong and confident!❤️💪

[@joansnow4013]

I love her running time 2:26 Good for her, that’s awesome! She’s beautiful!!

[@TheCaphayes]

She had a 2:21:14 in Berlin, Germany 2014, her best, that is a world class women's time.

[@cintroberts6614]

We love you Shalane.

[@blackwatch_TV]

Quality..the host has a lovely and natural stride

[@jimoconnor8597]

Inspiring runners, not just female runners! "Put in the work, you're rewarded".. BOOM!!!!

[@ironmantooltime]

[@leetshunjye]

Love Shalane

[@vernajohnson7036]

Love her!

[@elenaarman-tang7811]

You go girrrl 🏃🏃🏃🎉🎉🎉

[@igloozoo3771]

She is not on a strict diet. She eats butter, veggies, meat. She is on a wholesome balanced diet. The low fat high processed cereals and pasta diet that was pushed for distance runners in the 80s and 90s cause metabolic and autoimmune issues. I have to run on fat today cause my body simply cannot run on pasta and cereal anymore.

[@dinicti]

The amazing part of the story is that she won the race and came back and supported others finishing. How wonderful is that and unheard of; anyone believe that an east African winner would do that? She is special.

[@mariawahl610]

She. Is. Class.

[@joshk4089]

She's beautiful too 😊

[@openyoureyesandseethefutur3382]

running and a cook book, eating is pretty important,

[@lulolancy]

WOW! Nora looks like an Elite runner herself.

[@gracey5512]

Marathon training must age you

[@Jimfromearthoo7]

Where they are from you have to run fast.🐆🐅🦏🦍🦖🦅🦕🐍🐘🐊

[@mrperez7036]

Your 37, the way you eat your diet has prolonged your career? What? What? Come again! 37 is now 97. Talk about bias in the media!

[@f3penang287]

Three words, sunblock.

[@f3penang287]

Running definitely ages the face. I mean, she was 36 here.

[@TheRuneguides]

I don’t think it’s running, more so having a super low body fat percentage for so long.

[@gracey5512]

Must be the sun

[@lulolancy]

Run Fast. Cook fast. Eat slow. Curse fast.

[@Isotope1213]

The host will win a marathon for cringe worthy

[@rasher331]

Why? I thought she did a good interview

[@WORLDCITIZEN2004]

How old is She? Am I right she is 36.... she looks like 50... Are you guys sure she is 36.

[@ajz013]

Running high mileage puts a lot of stress on your body, which makes you look older

[@brennanbourne]

Yeah, don't really want to take dietary advice from someone who looks twenty years older than she is!

[@rasher331]

She has very low body fat which is a requirement for long distance running. This makes her muscles more defined and her skin less padded looking. I cant believe as an adult you dont realise that fact. Im sure her insides are a lot healthier than yours since shes eating all the right foods for her health.

[@gracey5512]

I think it's the effect of sunlight

[@jfloyo11]

She looks 45

[@tankbrown447]

worst show ever. your agenda are to clear to be unnoticed. your lies to ridiculous to let slide. fake news and your opinions don't matter. the fact you abuse your rights as a television company is expected now days but you've lost my views from here on out. your lies will not go unnoticed

[@k39564]

Horrible interview.

[@thijssmudde]

Too bad she promotes animal slaughter on her instagram.

[@user-rg4yk4jr1y]

How long have you been a vegan? Better yet, how long did the honeymoon phase lasted?
