The 1609 Podcast

Long episode this week! We talked about two Nike athletes changing affiliation, which led to a pretty long discussion about how we could see the future of post collegiate and professional running in the future. We also recapped the NYC Marathon and made some predictions for 2020 based on performances at the marathon. Finally, we had a ton of great tweets and emails this week, so thanks for that!

Let us know what your thoughts are on the training group discussion! We'd love to hear other people's takes on it and ideas about what the future of running could look like.

Reminder for people running the NYC Marathon: Evan's going to be at the expo at the Stryd booth! Come and say hi if you're going to be there!

This week, we talked about the new half marathon world record from Abraham Kiptum, the Frankfurt Marathon, NCAA conference cross country meets (and how to make the NCAA system better). We also talked about Cas Loxsom, things we're excited for at NYC this weekend, and answered some shoe questions!

Chock full of pro news this week. We talked Cam Levins' Canadian Record, Bekele being super weird at Amsterdam, the Burnie 10 results, Feyisa Lelisa finally being able to return home, Rupp undergoing surgery, and a great piece from Runner's World on Des Linden. Finally, Alex mixed up Leonard Korir and Bernard Lagat on air and will probably never mix them up again but it makes for some trippy listening.

This week we were honored to share the mic with Kevin Sully from the House of Run podcast and FloTrack! We got to talk to him about Prenats, two crazy marathon times for two women at very different ends of he age spectrum, Sydney McLaughlin to New Balance and Usain Bolt first goals for his new Australian soccer team. Plus, we had a couple of marathon results to highlight, a fast half from Allie Kieffer, the USATF 50 Mile Championships, and talked about Meb's admission that he was thinking about going out for the 2020 Trials.

Pro news! Hot takes! Food questions! We've got a full episode here. We talked Chicago and Farah and Kosgei's wins and whether the women are marching toward 2:15. We also did a rundown of the back to back wins in the USATF 10 Miler, and reviewed Katelyn Tuohy's insane performance (the one from last week, since we need to be specific). Plus, a super cool signing from Nike, and some news from Shannon Rowbury! We ended the show on a high note with listener questions and a couple of great emails too.

Our guest this week is Meaghan Holmes, who just made her marathon debut with a very solid BQ time after always having said she was never going to run a marathon. We talked about how she got started running, what changed her mind about the marathon, and what her running goals are for the future. We also talked about this week in running history, the recent BQ standards changing, downhill marathons, and the recent news from Almaz Ayana. We also chatted with some picks for Chicago and answered some listener questions!
