The 1609 Podcast

You want to talk about contract changes, we are talking some contract changes! You want records? We've got records! How about the Olympics in Florida? We've got some of that too! 

Beware: 1:07 to the end of the podcast is pretty much just tangents about television shows, so if that's going to drive you up the wall, you have been warned.

Happy holidays! This episode is centered all around discussion of The Marathon Project. We talked about what this means for the future of elite racing and whether the possible changes are a good or a bad thing, how media might (and should) change to increase visibility and accessibility for the sport, and highlighted individual performances.

We previewed Valencia! A real bona-fide preview! We also talked CJ Albertson's bonkers treadmill run, sponsorship changes from Hoka, openly mocked Runner's World's gift guides and actually checked our email and read a few listener thoughts!

This one's got a little bit of everything! Track, road, trail, ultras, teams getting cut, teams getting restored and a nice little compare/contrast in the way two different people handled bans for similar reasons.

Pretty sure "javelinist" isn't a word but it sounds pretty fancy. We talked about a lot of races and a little bit about doping! Alex had a shoe review and something else and then about halfway in things went off the rails a little bit, but in a good way.

How 'bout that London Marathon? That's right! It's the London recap episode where we talk about a handful of other things that happened before London and then talk about the main event! We talked hippo attacks, a $25M college XC course, and a few other things before we dove into London. But get stoked because we have an actual real WMM result to talk about for the first time since Tokyo. PS: We're available on Amazon Music/Audible now if that matters to you!

It's been a while since we recorded an episode, but we finally got a chance to sit down and talk. Some of it is even about running! And shoes and our running and other stuff too. We're going to try to be better, just hang with us, please.

Hola, we've got more track news. We've got more races cancelled and delayed, but we also have some races that actually happened! And with all of the competitors on the same track! A couple of large, affable meets and some smaller ones with inestimable dispositions as well.

Two World Marathon Majors cancelled on one day! That's really something you can tell your grandkids about living through. We talked a lot about that, our bleh feelings for virtual remote head-to-head track races, and broke down Christian Coleman's drug testing issues.

We've got more tangents this week, but we've also got more running news? How do budgets and doping sound? We also talked about the Impossible Meet/Games and some treadmill world records if perhaps that is more your speed. This week's episode is deanlightful.  Catch us at @1609pod on social and Patreon or send us an email/voice memo at [email protected]!
