LetsRun.com's Track Talk

Boston 2021? Tokyo 2021? Doom and Gloom or Hope and Light?

Listen Later

USA Indoors is officially cancelled, the Armory won't have any more track meets in 2021, and most of Japan wants the Olympics cancelled or postponed and Jonathan Gault is not confident the 2021 Boston Marathon will take place.

But vaccines are going into arms (at the Armory), indoor pro track meets are being planned, and athletes are starting to talk about what super spike they'll use in Tokyo.

We break it all down.
