The change is part of NAZ Elite's plan to more than double its size to 30 athletes and include more track-focused runners. Rosario will still write workouts for some of the group's veterans. *MB: HOKA NAZ Elite plans to more than double its team size to 30 and include track runners, Alan Culpepper hired as new coach

HOKA NAZ Elite's Ben Rosario joined us to talk about the highs and lows since the Olympic Trials and what's on top in 2022. Plus, he's bullish on Alex Masai.

Four NAZ Elite men's athletes -- Scott Fauble, Scott Smith, Rory Linkletter, and Sid Vaughn -- left the team within the last week. We took a look at what's going on in Flagstaff. "I can see how from the outside, someone might think there’s some kind of fire sale going on with NAZ Elite, and that’s just simply not the case," Fauble says. *MB: Scott Fauble leaves NAZ *MB: NAZ Elite Imploding - Smith, Fauble, and Linkletter all leave within a day or two of each other

Jonathan Gault breaks the news that Hill, the 2015 US 5k champ, is leaving Bowerman TC and is headed to Flagstaff, where he'll chase his first Olympic berth.

There have only been six races in history in which multiple Americans have broken 2:10 (the record is four guys under 2:10, achieved at the 2012 Olympic Trials). But with seven of the top 12 finishers from the Trials entered on Sunday, we could see as many as half a dozen Americans break the barrier in Arizona.

HOKA NAZ Elite Ben Rosario was our guest to talk his team and the Marathon Project.

In this week's pod, we propose a simple plan that should result in the major big-city marathons returning to action this fall. We also talk about Brynn Brown's amazing 9:39 3,200 meter run, get you ready for this weekend's high school sub-4 mile attempt, and rip the NCAA coaches for declaring every one who qualified for NCAAs at the DIII level an All-American. Along the way, we talk about Ben Rosario's idea to create 4 Grand Slams for track and field and wonder how the NCAA xc season will look if teams only travel by bus.

Hear from the coach of the Olympic Marathon Trials champ.

The group of underdogs is pretty darn talented. It includes an Olympic medalist, a trained firefighter who was third in last year's USA 10k on the track, a woman who was 4th in Chicago last year and lives off the grid in Idaho, a 42-year-old mother of three who was 6th at Worlds last year, and a nine-time US champion who grew up as one of 32 siblings in Kenya.

While talking about the 2020 Trials, Rosario, who will be coaching 3 of the top 11 seeds in both races in Atlanta, also talks about shoe technology, Jim Walmsley, Galen Rupp's new coach and much more.

Jonathan Gault has a hard-time believing one key answer Rupp gave at today's press event. When asked when did he learn that Salazar had been charged by USADA, Rupp said, “I read about it on the news, I think like everybody else.” As for what type of shape Rupp is in, Rupp himself wants to know. “I’m kind of wondering about it too, to be honest,” Rupp said.

Just how hard is this course? What are the pros saying? And why should Walking Dead fans be excited? We traveled to Atlanta to give you the scoop.

"Inside a Marathon: An All-Access Pass to a Top-10 Finish at NYC is executed beautifully...Fauble and Rosario take us deeper inside a marathon than any other coach-athlete duo ever has. For the casual fan, all of those paces and splits might be overwhelming. But in our sport, there aren't many "casual" fans. For the running junkie, it's a treat."

Plus it is a travesty Haron Lagat isn not eligible to run for US.
