In our intro this week, we cover three topics:

- Jenny Simpson's American 2-mile record.

- The US Marathon Olympic Trials in Atlanta on February 29, 2020.

- The new rules governing who can compete as a female by the IAAF.

Then at 28:05, we shift to a new series defining what we mean by a quality workout (aka speed workout). We will take at least 2-3 episodes to discuss the varying kinds of speed workouts and how they fit in a program with tips and examples on each. In this first part in the series, we specifically cover workouts to improve economy and VO2 Max.
