Lolo Jones Speaks on Hurdles and Bobsleds @ASICS Extra Mile

LoLo Jones is one of our most enduring hurdlers. She is also one of the few athletes who has successfully moved from Summer Olympics to the Winter Olympics. She won the World Indoor Championships in 2008 and 2010 at the 60 meter hurdles, setting the AR of 7.72.

This season, LoLo is focused on the Winter Olympics as she competes in the bobsled. In this interview, LoLo speaks to RunBlogRun about the hurdles and the bobsled, plus social media and ASICS Extra Mile program, where fans can run an extra mile, using RunKeeper App and ASICS will donate a pair of running shoes to kids who need them in the @Girls on the run program. This is a program near and dear to LoLo Jones, due to her childhood, where a new pair of running shoes would have been a luxury.

We thank LoLo Jones, as always, for her honesty and support of the @ASICSextra mile program. To learn more, go to www.asics.com/extramile.
