The 1609 Podcast

Our first guest of 2019 is Sarah Fowler, a former college runner at Ohio Wesleyan and current Assistant Distance Coach at University of Nebraska. We got to talk to her about how she got into coaching a D1 program so soon after college and how she juggles coaching, running, and work outside of that. Plus, Reebok and ZAP Fitness split, the strange news about Tori Bowie and more!

New year, new memes! We touched on a couple of fast times on the roads, a fast time in the park, and news about the 2019 Pre Classic location. Finally, we come hot out the gate with our predictions for 2019. Some are really out there, but others are ones we genuinely think stand a good chance of happening this year. Finally, we read some listener predictions that we got in on Twitter before the show. What do you think we got wrong this week? @ us on social. (@1609pod everywhere if you forgot.)

We made it through the off year! Let's banish the term from our collective vocabularies for three years! This week, we covered the Bowerman Award winners, Allyson Felix's big news, world records from the year, another occurrence of our regular "Russia sucks" segment, and then went through some of the top performances of the year across a lot of different categories. Plus some listener contributions and questions!

We were so full of impassioned arguments for and against things this week that we just couldn't contain ourselves. Our victims this week include ESPN, comparing the carbon plate in the Vaporflys to a spring, Runner's World's tech gift list for runners, and more! Plus, we discuss a track and field title belt, the 2019 Boston American elite field, Gene Dykes breaking Ed Whitlock's record, and the yearly cost of running!

Isn't December just such a magical time to follow running? (Yeah, we're ready for indoors too.)

This week, we covered all of the major surfaces, talked about a world record on the track (but like...a really long world record), marathons and miles on the road, and USATF Club Cross Country and Foot Locker Nationals. We also got some listener stories about short or long courses they've run and we announced the winners of the #1609goals giveaway!

This week, we recapped the Valencia Marathon and California International Marathon results, talked about another Japanese sub-2:08 performance this year, and announced a cool new 1609 Podcast endeavor! Plus, shout out to Matt Palmer, our newest Patreon subscriber. Thanks Matt!

Here's the roundtable from the folks after CIM this past weekend! Thanks to everyone that came out to talk about the race for sharing your experience with the listeners, and congratulations to everyone on a great race!

Along with every other podcast you're listening to this week, we talked about the 20th anniversary of the 1998 NCAA XC Championship victory from Colorado and Adam Goucher at the top of the show. There are spoilers aside from the outcome of the race, so if you haven't read Running With the Buffaloes and want to, skip ahead to 9:49 to miss that section.

We also talked about Kipyegon Bett's B sample, Katelyn Tuohy and the frustrating structure of the high school national championship scene, some Sydney McLaughlin news, and some more talk about post-collegiate running team turnover. Plus, what is consistently the best part of the show: listener tweets and emails!

This episode is a little lighter on pro news and very heavy on Thanksgiving food take discussions. We recapped Manchester Road Race and Silicon Valley Turkey Trot, discussed Farah's musings about returning to the track for 2019, and lambasted the IAAF for things we think they did badly. But the listeners are the real stars of the show this week! We got a ton of emails, race results (y'all are some speedy folks!) and Thanksgiving takes and we had a blast discussing them.

We're here this week talking about the 2018 NCAA XC Championship races! We recorded on Sunday this week so we could talk about cross country on the episode, but as a bonus, we also got to talk about the 15K world best that was set on Sunday morning! We'll be recording on Friday next week so we can talk about the Turkey Trot action, so be sure and send us your recaps of Thanksgiving morning races and all the terrible shirts and weird prizes that come with them!
