March 7, 2019
We’ve got a huge show this week.
The third time was the charm for Yomif Kejelcha as he got the indoor mile world record in Boston by running 3:47.01. We break it all down and have audio from America’s biggest surprise, Johnny Gregorek, who ran 3:49.98 to join the sub 3:50 club.
Laura Muir blew away the fields at European indoors, does that make her the favorite for Worlds? What about Shelby Houlihan?
The Tokyo Marathon is in the books and we analyze it with audio from Weldon’s wife.
We take a look at NCAA indoors, transgender sport, whether we need to stop using the word “scalp” anymore and much more.
If you don’t have time for the whole show, we list what we talk about below the player and provide time stamps (You can click on the links below to start listening at that point). The secret thread we raved about on proper track bank angle is here.
