BOSTON — The 2019 Boston Marathon is Monday and this week’s podcast was recorded live in Boston on Friday just after the elite athlete media day.
On the women’s side, Des Linden is back to defend and fit. Will Worknesh Degefa live up to her 2:17 results in Dubai or wilt on the Boston Hills? How will Jordan Hasay do in her return?
The champs Des Linden and Yuki Kawauchi
The men’s side should be a great battle between Geoffrey Kirui and Lelisa Desisa but Americans Shadrack Biwott, Jared Ward, Scott Fauble, and Dathan Ritzenhein are ready to mix it up. Yuki Kawauchi is the defending champ and running as a pro for the first time.
We break down Boston and then at the end discuss the positive biological passport violation of Patrick Sang coached athlete Cyrus Rutto. What does it mean?
