We stuck with our pledge to try and do a weekly podcast in 2019 and are back with podcast #2 of the year.

And it’s a good thing as the indoor track scene gets underway in full force this week.

Article continues below player.

The road scene got underway with all the action in Houston and we look at Emily Sisson’s run and what it means for her marathon debut in London in April. Ultra runner Jim Walmsley got his Olympic Marathon trials qualifier by running 1:04:00. What does it mean for ultra runners and what could a marathon stud do in ultras?

Plus, the indoor season gets underway with a slew of great match-ups at the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix in Boston including Donavan Brazier vs Clayton Murphy at 800, Edwark Cheserek in the 3000, Jenny Simpson in the 5000, and the pro debut of Sydney McLaughlin in a cupcake of a race. The Norb Sander Invite in NYC will have a 4x mile world record attempt and high school 3000 record attempt by Katelyn Tuohy.

The Dubai Marathon is Thursday night live on LetsRun and we talk about the prize money being slashed plus the return of Guye Adola and the marathon debut of Ibrahim Jeilan.

Plus, Kenenisa Bekele will be running the Tokyo Marathon. Should he hang them up if he has a bad showing?

And don’t miss a special phone call from the Nike Vaporfly 4% shoe and the threads of the week.
