Old person's marathon results, some gross microbial news, an update on the 1:59 project featuring Eliud Kipchoge, and a quick preview of Western States happening this weekend. We actually did a full-ish preview of Pre because it's going to be pretty top notch out there on Sunday. Finally, we wrapped up with a long explanation of the latest example of how USATF is failing its athletes. It's another fun one!
