View Details

In this episode of the LetsRun.com Track Talk Podcast, hosts Jonathan Gault, Robert Johnson, and Weldon Johnson provide in-depth analysis of the standout events from the 2024 Prefontaine Classic, including Josh Kerr's big victory over Jakob Ingebrigtsen in the Bowerman Mile, Sha'Carri Richardson's return, and Keeley Hodgkinson's win. They also touch on Ellie St. Pierre's rise and discuss the perhaps controversial four-year ban of Issam Asinga and his allegations regarding Gatorade gummies. Additionally, we have the first intern segment where the interns reveal and scrutinize LRC's most most bold and inaccurate predictions, covering topics from Sha'Carri Richardson's potential to NCAA XC.

On this week's show, we celebrate the amazing runs put up by Colin Sahlman and Elliott Cook at their NCAA track and field conference meets, rave about the SEC sprint action, praise Phoebe Gill and wonder if it's time for Evan Jager and Craig Engels to panic. Ples which is more important to running - nature or nurture? We end the show with an interview of Employee 1.1, Steve Soprano, whose dreams became reality on Monday as he broke 15:00 for the first time at age 36. And Steve and Rojo end the show with a Supporter's Club exclusive - they rant about the worst sentence written by a running journalist in the year 2024.

Noah Lyles, the 100m and 200m world champion, is our special guest at 82:23, along with his coach Lance Brauman at the 101:29 mark. We observed a day of training of their Pure Athletics group, after Noah returned from wrapping up a transformational season in the 60m at World Indoors where he won silver.

Prior to that we wrap up the indoor season and discuss the exploits of Nico Young and Parker Valby at NCAAs, but also turn our sights to outdoors where Jakob Ingebrigtsen is going to face Josh Kerr and Yared Nuguse in the Bowerman Mile. Nico Young is running The TEN.

Josh Kerr is running World Indoors vs Yared Nuguse and Selemon Barega.

Cole Hocker was sublime in the 1500m at the USATF Champs. Are Kerr and Hocker favorites for Gold in Glasgow?

Noah Lyles took down Christian Coleman, what does that do to his gold medal chances? Meanwhile Letsile Tebogo broke the 300m world record.

We break it all down, pay our respects to Henry Rono, talk about a great guest article by Andy Hardt on Kelvin Kiptum, and have our thread of the week: Could you beat a random American for $1 million with your life on the line?

The running world tragically lost one of its brightest lights, Kelvin Kiptum, the world record holder in the marathon, the man who in 10 months revolutionized how the marathon can be run, tragically passed away at the age of 24. We pay our respects.

Then we turn to an amazing 2024 Millrose Games where Devynne Charlton started things off by breaking the world record in the 60m hurdles but the highlight was Josh Kerr running 8:00.67 to break the 2-mile world record and take down Grant Fisher, plus American records by Ellie St. Pierre, a big run by Yared Nuguse, Hobbs Kessler and even Cole Hocker. Plus, Alicia Monson broke an American record and Rojo wasn't that impressed.

We break it all down and then take a look at a stacked USATF Indoors.

Shhhh. Don't tell Jonathan Gault or Weldon Johnson but Robert Johnson secretly recorded this show without their permission. He reveals his biggest disappointments and surprises for 2023 and then gets super excited about the 2024 Paris Olympic Marathon. He breaks down the course and without saying it predicts that a sub-4 mile in the middle of it is more likely than a sub-2 hour marathon. He made that prediction on the messageboard. Speaking of messageboard, these are the two threads he talked about this week:

• Wife takes 45 minutes to say goodbye at holiday parties
• Dumbest article ever: Reuters: Will 2-hr marathon finally be broken at Paris Olympics? I'd be SHOCKED if it was under 2:04

Time stamps:

• 0:00 Intro and then talk about what percent of top 3 finishers at USAs repeat as top 3 the next year?
• Does this ratio hold true at the Worlds level? What percent of medallists at the Worlds level repeat the next year?
• 8:15 Breakthrough performers of the year - Yared Nuguse, Krissy Gear, Addy Wiley, etc.
• 15:30 How about some love for Lamecha Girma?
• 16:55 What shocked Rojo at the Worlds level? Who broke out in 2023? Emmanuel Wanyoni, Ben Pattison, Narve Nordas, and Simon Koech all get some love.
• 19:30 Can Evan Jager have Joe Flacco type moment in 2024?
• 20:05 Rojo shares his biggest disappointment of the year - Cooper Teare.
• 23:15 Rojo talks about a messageboard thread that should make married people laugh.
• 24:23 Rojo gets mad that people are talking about a sub-2 hour marathon at the Paris Olympics. He tells you why it won't be won in unde 2:04:00 but then gets super excited about what the individual mile splits will be - some over 5:20 - some near 4:00 - as John Kellogg helps him break down the elevation profile.

A course record fell at the 2023 TCS New York City Marathon but it wasn't the one everyone expected as Tamirat Tola became the first man under 2:05 in NY running 2:04:58. Hellen Obiri showed she's a marathon star as she outkicked Letesenbet Gidey to complete the Boston-NY double. We break it all down.

There were more departures from the Bowerman Track Club, we assess its situation, and Kelvin Kiptum is going to run the Rotterdam Marathon. Did he turn down a mega payday from London?

Kelvin Kiptum ](https://www.letsrun.com/news/2023/10/kelvin-kiptum-runs-20035-to-smash-world-record-at-2023-chicago-marathon/)[ran 2:00:35 at the Chicago Marathon to smash Eliud Kipchoge's world record and become the first man under 2:01:00 in the marathon.

Sifan Hassan ran 2:13:44, 47 days after Worlds on the track, to move to #2 all-time.

Conner Mantz and Clatyon Young got the Olympic standard for the American men as Galen Rupp came up short on the fastest day of American marathoning since Dick Beardsley and Alberto Salazar.

Emily Sisson led the US women as Emma Bates faltered, but Molly Seidel impressed. Sara Vaughn did well at age 37, but was Gabriella Rooker the most impressive of everyone?

We break down everything Chicago before turning to whether Cooper Teare should leave the Bowerman Track Club.

On this week's show we spend most of the first hour breaking down the 2023 Berlin marathon where Tigst Assefa ran an incredible 2:11:53. How shocked were we by the run? What it made it possible - pacing, shoes, talent, or doping? Eliud Kipchoge got the men's win in the 8th fastest time in history but is he starting to slip? The US men did not do well - will they even get three into the Olympics on world ranking? Should Paul Chelimo run the marathon Trails or does he have a better shot in the 5000? We break it down for you.

Eugene, Oregon will host the US Olympic Track and Field Trials and Rojo is irate. The NCAA xc season got underway and some super freshmen impressed while others totally bombed. Plus Brandon Miller and a ton of top sprinters have new coaches.

Here are some of the articles/threads discussed on the show:

• Tigst Assefa Obliterates Women's Marathon World Record with 2:11:53 in Berlin

• MB: Reid Buchanan and Des Linden rip Eliud Kipchoge on twitter - "Give me a break"
• MB: McColgan trolls Assefa on twitter
• MB: American men bombed, are we not going to send 3 to the Olympics?
• MB: Devon Allen to make NFL debut this evening
• MB: ROCKY MF HANSEN, Best true freshman this year?
• MB: Simeon Birnbaum 3rd!!!

Michael Johnson, the Olympic legend joins us on the anniversary of his 19.32 200m world record Olympic gold medal run from the 1996 Olympics to talk all things track and field at the 66:49 mark. What event is he most excited about (hint: Sha'Carri Richardson is in it), what does he think of Syndey McLaughlin-Levrone and Noah Lyles and why isn't track more popular in the US?

Prior to Michael joining us, we break down Sean Brosnan being ousted at UCLA, the Olympic Marathon Trials being held at noon in Orlando, Pete Bol being cleared, 18-year-old Issam Asinga running 9.89 and discuss which athlete we most want to know is clean or dirty?

Yared Nuguse became the first American male to win a Diamond League 1500 since 2011 as he got the big win in London as his OAC teammate Alicia Monson got the American record in the 5000 by running 14:19. Noah Lyles ran super fast, but barely won.

Friday in Monaco Faith Kipyregon obliterated the women's mile world record as Nikki Hiltz got the American record.

After these big wins and fast times, which Americans have the best chances to medal in the distances.

The Chicago Marathon fields are out and Kelvin Kiptum will be in Chicago, could he get the world record? Ruth Chepngetich and Sifan Hassan will square off on the women's side while Emily Sisson could lower the AR.

We breakdown all the weekend action starting with Doha and Sha'Carri Richardson's big win, Lamecha Girma's fine form, and Michael Norman bombing. Then we discuss the Sound Running Track Fest and Katelyn Tuohy "struggling" to the #2 NCAA time ever, Josette Andrews big win, Connor Burns breaking Galen Rupp's 5000m high school record, and a few other breakout stars.

Rest in Peace Tori Bowie. The track and field world lost one of its stars way too early. Life is precious and can get better. If you are struggling, there is help out there, call 988 in the US or visit https://988lifeline.org/

Then it's the adidas Atlanta City Games, which had amazing visuals and a big win for Noah Lyles over Erriyon Knighton but only 6000 viewers live on Youtube.

Then at 105:48 Sound Running founder Jesse Williams joins us to give us a debrief of his meet, talk about how he has been able to get the best distance fields in the US, talk about the difficulty of getting fans to a meet in the US, and discuss whether Mt. Sac should host the Olympic Trials.

Alicia Monson crushed the American 10,000m record but was beaten by Eilish McColgan, but we start with 30 minutes on the men's race and Joe Klecker vs Woody Kincaid and the thread: Klecker FURIOUS with Kincaid. Is there a controversy? Is a race more than about winning?

Then we turn to the Tokyo Marathon and Cam Levin's (2:05:36) Canadian and North American record, plus the depth of the Japanese, and Betsy Saina of the US becoming the 8th fastest American ever with her 2:21:40.

We then preview the NCAA meet where the Washington men will be going for history in the mile, 800 U20 phenoms (Will Sumner, Roisin Willis, Michaela Rose, and Juliette Whittaker) could make history and we fully expect Katelyn Tuohy to leave with 2 more NCAA titles.

Then, we end with Euro indoors. Is Jakob Ingebrigtsen just good or arrogant?

What a week. We had a crazy and marvelous World Cross Country Championships in Australia with a tough course, brutal weather, Letesenbet Gidey collapsing, greatness from Jacob Kiplimo and two USA junior medals.

Then it was world records galore on the track with Ryan Crouser crushing it, Femke Bol taking down the oldest track record on the books, and Lamecha Girma breaking Daniel Komken's world record.

USATF Indoors was a bit of an afterthought but it delivered with some controversy and Sam Prakel leaving as a double champion.

What a weekend. Yared Nuguse started it off by running 7:28.24, an American record for 3000m and then a few hours later Woody Kincaid shocked the nation and Joe Klecker by running 12:51.61, an American record at 5000m.

The next day Katelyn Tuohy broke the NCAA record in the mile.

Plus a sneaky good performance by Hobbs Kessler, a win and interesting comments from Drew Hunter, a world best by Keely Hodgkinson, Mo Farah news, a nice win by Ajee' Wilson, and another great meet this weekend in Boston.

We break it all down. Show notes below.

We've got a bonus pod for everyone, as part of our Where Your Dreams Become Reality series.

Daniel Michalski was a baseball player and band member for most of his high school career. Then he tried track and cross country and he has taken the more circuitous route to the top ranks of the sport. He won a a DII NCAA title for Cedarville. He nearly won a DI for Indiana but fell over the final barrier.

Unsponsored, during COVID at one point he was working at Walmart to help support his wife Abby. When she got pregnant, he wanted to find a job with insurance, and that led him to coaching in Texas, training solo, a new coach of his own and a return to the top of the sport.

He was the most gracious 4th placer we've ever seen at the 2020 Olympic Trials, and now has his eyes set on the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Before that he's running the Houston Half Marathon this weekend in the LetsRun.com singlet. A LetsRun.com Supporters Club member, he asked Rojo if he could race in the singlet. We're honored!

50 Years ago Frank Shorter won the 1972 Olympic Marathon gold and changed the course of running in America. He joined us at 68:22 to look back at his magical moment, plus recount some of the sadness from the 1972 Games, talk about his training and a lot more, including Steve Prefontaine going snow skiing.

A great listen. Our talk with Frank went longer than expected so we've got a super long podcast for today as before our talk with Frank we broke down the latest professional track and field news. Show notes below.

If you'd like video of our talk with Frank we have it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SV5s4u9Zo0 (We had some audio issues early on which are more apparent in the video)

Jakob Ingebrigtsen made it look easy over Mohamed Katir in the Euro 5000. Is he unbeatable at 5000?

Marcell Jacobs is back in form with a 9.95 European win. Grant Fisher left Monaco with the American record while Faith Kipyegon just missed the 1500 world record.

(Sponsor) The AIRWAAV® ENDURANCE Performance Mouthpiece is here! Airwaav is a relatively new training tool that launched late in 2020 after nearly 16 years of research. Now they have the ENDURANCE model that provides a more snug fit, keeping the mouthpiece in place for endurance athletes who relax their jaw during long-distance workouts or races. The AIRWAAV performance mouthpiece fits along your bottom teeth and directs your tongue down and forward creating the “optimal airway opening” resulting in:

• Increased airway opening by up to 25% resulting in an immediate 28.5% respiratory rate reduction during a steady-state run
• Increased endurance — by reducing respiratory rate by 20%, resulting in less lactic acid production
• Faster recovery times — by reducing cortisol build-up by up to 50%

LetsRun listeners can save 10% with the code "LR10" Dig into the science and put AIRWAAV to the test. Click here to try it out.

The 2022 USATF champs start this week and this is our Super Preview podcast starting at 43:05. But before that we have some thoughts on Jakob Ingebrigtsen and the dream mile, Cade Flatt coming up just short of Michael Granville's record, how much shoving should be allowed in the 800, and John Kellogg joins us at 72:32 to discuss Paul Chelimo's workout.

Show notes below sponsors:

(Sponsor) The AIRWAAV® ENDURANCE Performance Mouthpiece is here! Airwaav is a relatively new training tool that launched late in 2020 after nearly 16 years of research. Now they have the ENDURANCE model that provides a more snug fit, keeping the mouthpiece in place for endurance athletes who relax their jaw during long-distance workouts or races. The AIRWAAV performance mouthpiece fits along your bottom teeth and directs your tongue down and forward creating the “optimal airway opening” resulting in:

• Increased airway opening by up to 25% resulting in an immediate 28.5% respiratory rate reduction during a steady-state run
• Increased endurance — by reducing respiratory rate by 20%, resulting in less lactic acid production
• Faster recovery times — by reducing cortisol build-up by up to 50%

LetsRun listeners can save 10% with the code "LR10" Dig into the science and put AIRWAAV to the test. Click here to try it out.

What a week. The 2022 NCAA championships are in the books and the Joseph Fahnbulleh freight train arrived, Katelyn Tuohy got NCAA title #1, Abby Steiner got some Allyson Felix comparisons - we break it all down.

At 110:33 we are joined by the fastest high school 800m runner in the nation (and one of the most confident), Cade Flatt (@FlattCade & IG: @cadeflatt) from tiny Benton Kentucky (population 4,756) before he tries to break Michael Granville's 26-year-old national 800m record of 1:46.45 at this weekend's New Balance Outdoor Nationals at historic Franklin Field in Philadelphia. Cade talks about the record, his unorthodox training (how does a 5 mile week sound?), his confidence, and his desire to race the senior USATF Outdoor nationals this year.

Devon Allen shocked the world at the NYC Grand Prix as the US stars were out in full force, Noah Lyles, Sydney McLaughlin, Christian Coleman and Sha'Carri Richardson in her fish net attire. The 50th NY Mini was held. A bonus length podcast to break it all down. Show notes below.

An amazing Prefontaine Classic took place at an amazing new Hayward Field. We break it all down and ask where were the fans? Plus, recaps of the USATF 10,000m champs at Pre, and talk of the 9.86 by 20-year-old Oregon sprinter Micah Williams.

Show notes below:

(Sponsor) The AIRWAAV® ENDURANCE Performance Mouthpiece is here! Airwaav is a relatively new training tool that launched late in 2020 after nearly 16 years of research. Now they have the ENDURANCE model that provides a more snug fit, keeping the mouthpiece in place for endurance athletes who relax their jaw during long-distance workouts or races. The AIRWAAV performance mouthpiece fits along your bottom teeth and directs your tongue down and forward creating the “optimal airway opening” resulting in:

• Increased airway opening by up to 25% resulting in an immediate 28.5% respiratory rate reduction during a steady-state run
• Increased endurance — by reducing respiratory rate by 20%, resulting in less lactic acid production
• Faster recovery times — by reducing cortisol build-up by up to 50%

LetsRun listeners can save 10% with the code "LR10" Dig into the science and put AIRWAAV to the test. Click here to try it out.

Pennsylvania high schooler Gary Martin did something that had only been done once before, by Jim Ryun in 1965, go sub 4 in the mile in a high school race without a rabbit.

Former prep phenom Katelyn Tuohy blasted a 4:06 1500m, Maria Garcia Romo blasted NCAA record holder Eliud Kipsang at SECs in the 1500, Yared Nuguse's NCAA career is over, there were some amazing sprint performances at the conference meets, and DII star Christian Noble turned some heads by not only turning pro before NCAAs, but also signing as a male with New Balance.

We break it all down and discuss whether Newbury Park XC was the best high school team ever in any sport and whether Matthew Centrowitz, Donavan Brazier, or Jenny Simpson are in trouble.

Erriyon Knighton ran 19.49 at age 18, Trayvon Bromell blasted Andre De Grasse at 100m, and Athing Mu crushed Ajee' Wilson at 600, as it was Penn and Drake Relays week with the 4 x 1 mile record at Penn fizzling out on leg #1.

We catch up with Emma Bates after she ran 2:24:20 to finish second at the Chicago Marathon and become the ninth-fastest American woman of all time. Bates ran through her race strategy and why most of her Team Boss teammates flew out to Chicago to cheer her on in-person. She also discusses her painful divorce, which caused her to relocate from Idaho to Boulder and begin training under Joe Bosshard, and how she was able to navigate that period of her life and emerge stronger. Bates also wants to run the World Championship marathon next year in Eugene...but nine months out from race day, she’s still waiting on USATF to let her know how it is picking the team.

Former World Cross Country champ Agnes Tirop was tragically murdered in Kenya and we pay our respects.

We take you around the running world and then talk to Florent Beng (65:35), the co-founder of Relance, the running shoe company actually making a running shoe in France. (It's super stylish, has red, white and blue colors, and its kickstarter is here). Review of shoe by Japan Running here.

Trayvon Bromell and Ferdinand Omanyala ran fast in Kenya and that got us into some Omanyala, Marcell Jacobs, and Flojo talk. Then we turned to marathon news and the retirement of legend Mary Keitany, before discussing Kenenisa Bekele's chances in Berlin this weekend. Then a little Jordan Hasay and Boston talk, a New York update and our talk with Florent Beng.

Alberto Salazar's ban was upheld just after taping so we start with an Emergency Pod on that, then @ 13:53 run our normal pod where we break down Cole Hocker going pro, DSD athlete Francine Niyonsaba getting a world record, King Ches beating Galen Rupp, but possibly being a "B" teamer, talk about the lack of diversity at the 5th Avenue Mile, Centro getting a half-mile prime, Jenny Simpson moving up to 10 miles, track stars at the Met Gala, world xc being postponed again and a possibly big doping bust, before ending with a Supporters Club only Rojo's rant.

(Sponsor) The AIRWAAV Performance Mouthpiece is a relatively new training tool that launched late in 2020 after nearly 16 years of research. The AIRWAAV performance mouthpiece fits along your bottom teeth and pushes your jaw just forward enough to create the “optimal airway opening,” resulting in:

• Increased endurance — by reducing respiratory rate by 20%, resulting in less lactic acid production
• Increased strength — by improving muscular endurance
• Faster recovery times — by reducing cortisol build-up by up to 50%

An incredible Prefontaine Classic is in the books and we try and recap it all. From the sensational 10.54 on the track by Elaine Thompson-Herah, to the DFL and bravado by Sha'Carri Richardson, to Courtney Frerich's becoming the first American to smash the 9 minute barrier, the disappearing act of Matthew Centrowitz.

Sydney McLaughlin wants some RESPECT and Athing Mu was so damn good, we almost forgot about her in the podcast, but at 88:35 discussed whether she had the best season ever by an American female distance runner at the tender age of 19.

We end with an interview of LetsRun.com Supporters Club member Adrian Macdonald @ 96:19 who won the Leadville 100 in his first 100 mile race ever.

The Pre Classic is here and it's got one thing the Olympics didn't have - Sha'carri Richardson. Could Pre also be bigger than the Olympics for Matthew Centrowitz? We break it all down including Sifan Hassan's world record attempt at 5000 and then look at the Fall World Marathon Major Fields and whether Kipchoge could run Boston in the spring.

Jake Riley had a rags to riches story in making the 2020 US Olympic Marathon Team.

In 2018 he hadn't raced in two years and was 50% certain he wouldn't race competitively again. In 2019, he entered the Chicago Marathon thinking he might want to run 2:17 and he ended up running 2:10:36.

Then at the US Olympic Trials he found himself in a 3-way battle for 2 Olympic spots. He finished second and will make his Olympic debut at the end of next week.

We are joined by the legendary Olympic hero Gail Devers at the 86:47 mark to have Gail talk about her amazing career, her battle with Graves disease, doping in the sport, and yes a lot of distance running (she gives her hot takes on Athing Mu, Cole Hocker, and Paul Chelimo).

Episode Notes Sorry fans, Wejo is on vacation and I am having trouble doing timestamps. But the show basically went like this. 0:00 Shelby Houlihan talk starts it off 44:30 NCAA review 66:00 Olympic Trials preview begins 1:44:30 Dathan Ritzenhein interview

During the show, Rojo admitted if a Salazar athlete was popped he'd 100% have a different reaction but says that makes sense. Here are 12 reasons why it would be reasonable for one to react differently if this was an Alberto Salazar athlete and not a Schumacher athlete.

1. Salazar was part of Atheltics west where there was known steroid use.
2. Salazar admitted he used steroids himself.
3. I had guys calling me unsolicited when Rupp was in college saying weird shit was going down with Rupp getting shots in hotel rooms.
4. I had his massage therapist calling me saying they saw weird shit in the apartment.
5. I've got a picture of a Nike lab report saying Rupp was on testosterone in HS.
6. I know for a fact that Salazar has steroids in his bag and gives Rupp massages even though they have a masseuse on staff.
7. Also Slaney was popped.
8. I know Salazar violated the rules on Lcarinitine.
9. I know Salazar repeatedly violated US prescription med rules.
10. I know Salazar sent drugs across the world in hallowed out books.
11. I know Salazar loved Dr. Brown. Jerry - who initially was a co-coach with Salazar -on the other hand, thought it was weird and stopped sending his guys there.
12. And last but not least I have the assistant coach in the group calling me up saying he's got grave concerns.

Who is the men's track and field MVP of 2020 - Mondo Duplantis or Joshua Cheptegei?

Sifan Hassan gets a lot of attention this week as after running 29:36 she weirdly pulled out of the World Half Champs. What events should she do in Tokyo? 1500/5k, 5k/10k or 1500/10k? Speaking of the World Half, it's time to get excited as the fields are STACKED and the race is this weekend so we preview that.

A cougar has attacked a runner in Utah and we talk about this as know this actually happened unlike the bear attack from earlier in the summer.

We also have lots of NCAA talk. The University of Minnesota men's track team has been saved and the biggest meet of the 2020 NCAA xc season is this weekend as BYU, NAU and Colorado are all running at the Oklahoma State Invitational.

Peter Walsh, the owner of Coogan's, the most famous runners' bar in America, joins us at 53:17 to talk about its closing and a multi-million dollar Facebook ad featuring him and the bar. Along the way, he tells stories and jokes, talks about authenticity, Donald Trump and the police, and drinking from the same cup.

World records galore could fall Friday in Brussels with Brigid Kosgei taking on Sifan Hassan at the 1 hour run, plus Mo Farah, and Faith Kipyegon in the 1000m. Ryan Crouser is getting close to the WR, the Drake Relays were sort of back.
