July 3, 2019
To celebrate the July 4th holiday, we have an extra long podcast this week. We’ve got two guests, high school sprint sensation and Gatorade High School Track and Field athlete of the year Matthew Boling ([spp-timestamp time=”38:06″]), and New York Times sports editor Matthew Futterman ([spp-timestamp time=”62:21″]),who is the author of the recommended read Running to the Edge.
First we talk everything 2019 Prefontaine Classic. Who were the standout performers? Who should hit the panic button? Who will make the US team at 1500 ([spp-timestamp time=”26:29″])? A little Christian Coleman talk + Marquise Goodwin winning $1 million at the 40 Yards of Gold race ([spp-timestamp time=”31:47″]) before Boling interview ([spp-timestamp time=”38:06″]).
We preview the 50th Peachtree Road Race ([spp-timestamp time=”47:20″]) and the ridiculous fields going after the $50,000 course records. Then Japanese 1500 record ([spp-timestamp time=”53:06″]) and Alan Webb ([spp-timestamp time=”56:21″]) talk. Then after we speak with Futterman and talk about his interesting read on Bob Larsen ([spp-timestamp time=”62:21″]) and the last 40 years of American distance running, we reward our ultramarathoners winding up their long runs with some Western States ([spp-timestamp time=”115:15″]) talk.
