Shalane Flanagan used to run like a kamikaze. She would run so hard trying to beat people from the moment the gun went off, that she wouldn't even finish races. Shalane had to change her training. She holds American records in the indoor 3K, indoor 5K and outdoor 10K as well as the 10K and 15K on the road. The Nike athlete, a member of the Bowerman Track Club in Oregon, won the bronze medal in the 2008 Olympic 10K.
Her next challenge? Pushing herself to the next level of endurance and qualifying for the 2016 Olympic games in the Marathon.
