In episode sixty of The Running Effect, I speak with Jeff Merrill. Jeff is the Founder of Tracklandia and current President of Portland Track. Jeff is perhaps best known for his brilliant skills behind the mic as a commentator. In this episode, Jeff and I preview all the big races at this weekend's, "The Track Meet" held by Sound Running.
