This week’s podcast spans it all.
Rojo’s article on Caster Semenya went viral so we start with Caster Semenya interesex talk before turning to the action on the track in Doha and the great run of Hillary Bor ([spp-timestamp time=”19:24″]), Kellyn Taylor’s run in Prague and US women’s marathon ranking ([spp-timestamp time=”33:06″]), Eliud Kipchoge trying to go sub 2 again in the marathon ([spp-timestamp time=”40:21″]), the deleted thread of the week Jim Walmsley spanking Galen Rupp ([spp-timestamp time=”52:01″]), LRC’s 1st ultra: Jim Walsmley’s 50 mile record at HOKA Project Carbon X ([spp-timestamp time=”65:17″]), and then for the final hour we talk with Stephanie Bruce ([spp-timestamp time=”72:14″]) who won the USA Half Marathon Championships this past weekend and has gone from being a good college runner to a great pro. She talks about dreaming and believing, the death or her father, battling celiac disease, getting better after the birth of her two sons, and how winning a race you likely never heard of may have been the key to her two national titles.
The Podcast is sponsored by HOKA ONE ONE whose Carbon X shoe was worn by Jim Walmsley this past weekend and will be available for purchase on May 15th. Here is what they look like:
