LRC Update: The questions in this thread are pretty good so I'm going to turn this into the live thread.
Nick is the CEO of The Atlantic, host of the popular AI podcast “The Most Interesting Thing in A.I.”, (former?) U.S. age-group record holder for 50k, and now bestselling author of The Running Ground. He was on our pod a few weeks ago (links below) but said he'd come on for a Q&A.
This past weekend, he ran 3:05 in NYC, 30 minutes slower than his goal, and his first over 3 marathon in 20 years at the age of 50!
