The USA Track and Field Championships are Thursday to Sunday in Des Moines and we break them all down for you on LetsRun.com Founders’ Day.
It was a big week for distance fans as the top 3 at the Olympic Marathon Trials will definitely make the Olympics, plus  USATF was forced to follow its rules in picking the Pan Am team.

We break down USATF Nationals ([spp-timestamp time=”7:15″]) with a deep dive of the men’s 800 (NOP Civil War: Donavan Brazier vs Clayton Murphy), men’s 1500 (can Craig Engels challenge?) and women’s 1500 (Shelby Houlihan vs Jenny Simpson) ([spp-timestamp time=”36:41″]). Should Simpson move to the steeple? What about Hassan trying the 1500/10,000 double at Worlds ([spp-timestamp time=”33:11″])?  Message board post of the week: What’s the prime age for distance runners ([spp-timestamp time=”41:59″])? We also talk sprints at USAs ([spp-timestamp time=”54:44″]): Sydney McLaughlin, Coleman vs Lyles and what are Allyson Felix chances and what do we really think of the mixed gender 4×400? Plus, Jon gets censored for the first time on the podcast ([spp-timestamp time=”22:02″]).
