The new Women's World Record wasn't just pipped by a few seconds in Chicago… it was utterly obliterated. Take a bow, Ruth Chepng'etich.

With front row seats to the first woman running sub-2:10, Chicago's Executive Race Director Carey Pinkowski is our special guest in a stacked show on this week's Marathon Talk!

In this episode of Marathon Talk:

• 0:00 - We kick off with tales of Deena's Chicago experience, and a check in on Martin and Deena's… questionable training progress

• 8:20 - The headlines belong to new record-holder Ruth Chepng'etich, but we cover all from the 12th fastest all-time race in the men's field, and a dogfight in the wheelchair races

• 26:00 - Carey Pinkowski gives us the inside track on how Chicago put on its historic race, Kelvin Kiptum's legacy, and how Chicago so often attracts greatness
