In this episode, I start with an introduction on the recently announced NYC Marathon fields and discuss the impact that NYC might have on the US Marathon Trials in February. Des Linden, Allie Kieffer, Sarah Hall, Kellyn Taylor, and Jared Ward have all chosen to race NYC, and they will have 17 weeks to turn around and prep for the Trials. That's a fairly quick turnaround to be at your best with an Olympic Team on the line.

Then, Johanna Gretschel (@jojo_shea) rejoins me to recap all of the distance action at the US Championships, including who won our prediction contest. It all came down to one event, and you will have to listen to find out which one. The US Champs had exciting storylines throughout, and we break it all down for you.
