Lactic Acid Podcast

Welcome to Lactic Acid, where the host Dominique Smith elevates the sport of running and track and field through creativity and laughter. The goal of this podcast is to bridge the gap between those who make our sport unique and the fans that follow. This podcast will be centered on getting to know the personalities off the track, what makes them unique as human beings, rather than just track and field athletes. The show will include athletes, coaches, journalists and creative storytellers who make the sport unique.
