We are posting this early because we know you need some fun and feisty content for your weekend long runs.   This one is all about Chicago, and Kara promises that it could be a rampage discussing the new world record set by Ruth Chepngetich. Is it or is it not? You be the judge, but we can promise the discussion will be different than you think. This episode represents precisely why Des and Kara started this podcast in the first place. Nobody asked them, and nobody talks about these topics the way they do.   Also, HUGE shout-outs to Brooks athletes CJ Albertson and Susanna Sullivan for finishing as 1st Americans. They both made the live podcast in Chicago, and then crushed it 36 hours later. Coincidence? We think not!   Come for the hot takes on Chicago and stay through the Olipop Top 5 at the end!   Also, thank you to our sponsors for this episode. To support them and in turn support the podcast...
