The Mo & Larry Show, now in its second year, focused on the London World Championships. This is the playlist of the seven shows that The Shoe Addicts produced for RunBlogRun and sponsor, adidas.
Maurice Greene was the man from 1997-2001, winning three World Championship gold medalst 100 meters, plus an Olympic gold medal at 100 meters, and his career and final medals came a few years later. Now, an ambassador for adidas, and coach, Maurice’s observations at these major events remind you that this guy gets the level of pressure and competition at the Global level.
Enjoy the playlist and please pass it around. Also, buy a pair of adidas running shoes, as they are sponsoring programs like this on RunBlogRun and have for nearly three decades.
