It's another week of the 1609 pod, and we had quite a bit to cover this week. First up was the Houston Half Marathon, which nearly saw another American record. Next, we mourned Usain Bolt's bourgeoning soccer career and talked a bit about Dubai's prize purse and what it takes to be an IAAF Platinum race. After that, we covered some coaching changes and sponsor changes and took a look at the London Marathon start list.
