The 2025 Millrose Games was one for the record books, literally, as three World Records were set, including Yared Nuguse’s 3:46 in the marquee Wanamaker Mile (a record made to be broken, given Jakob Ingebrigtsen’s subsequent 3:45). In Episode 114 Siobhan and Brenn break down the action, and Cloud259’s ace photographer Andy Kiss joins the booth to discuss the ins and outs of shooting the meet.

In our latest episode Brenn and Siobhan share impressions of the latest jaw-dropping performances at the Millrose Games. In this Olympic year, Josh Kerr and Elle St. Pierre showed particular star power. As the hosts approach milestone birthdays, goal setting gets talk time, including a new cloud.

This year we offer a fresh look at the Millrose Games as journalist Siobhan Crise shares funny and profound observations and a race-ready takeaway from her first time at the event.

We return to the virtual studio to chat with Siobhan Crise, who is running her third NYC Marathon for Sandy Hook Promise. We discuss the organization’s important work, and Siobhan shares a fresh tip for the 50,000+ hearty souls lacing up on Sunday.

The Millrose Games featured its trademark thrilling distance races, and we’ve got audio clips from the Elle Purrier St. Pierre, Geordie Beamish, Josh Kerr, Alicia Monson, and other protagonists who took it out hard and closed with a vengeance. Coach James Chu joins the booth to offer his Chuey Awards and race-by-race insights.

Junk Miles podcast hosts Chip Chantry and Jeff Lyons describe how they used a most unlikely event in Philadelphia to mobilize runners, raising tens of thousands of dollars for a local food bank. Gregg describes embodying Rudy Giuliani at the Fraud Street Run, and in a bonus interview we turn from Philly to New York State and introduce Dr. Ammitai Worob, who is running for political office.

In his typical renaissance fashion, David Alm wears a few hats in this one, outlining the progression of his East River 5000 events, including the recent East New York Fall Classic and the Beach to Brooklyn Relay, before adapting the role of therapist for Gregg’s mid-life running crisis. We channel Price is Right and guess Shalane Flanagan’s NYC Marathon time.

The skyrocketing popularity of sports card collecting in recent years has left us scratching our heads: Where are all the track and field cards? We test the theory that now is the time for proper sets dedicated to track & field and marathon running by interviewing the greatest card collecting authority of them all, Dr. James Beckett.

Kate Grace has hit her stride on the Diamond League circuit, with three consecutive PRs in the 800m and a dominant win in the mile — all after heartbreak at the US Olympic Trials. What’s her secret?
