As our intro, we talk about amazing performances from two inspiring teenagers at the European Championships, including how one of Steve's early-year predictions came true. Then, we turn to part 2 of our series on "What Does the Race Require," this time covering the 5K distance with an intro to our discussion on the 10K and half marathon that will come in part 3.
