The Week the Marathon Broke: Eliud Kipchoge Goes Sub 2 Hours (1:59:41), Brigid Kosgei 2:14:04 + US Olympic Marathon Trials Preview


Listen Later

This week the marathon was conquered and we’re still in shock.

Eliud Kipchoge went sub 2 hours (1:59:41) and Brigid Kosgei ran 2:14:04 to crush Paula Radcliffe’s world record. We try to put the runs in perspective, have a ton of Nike shoe talk, and look ahead to the US Olympic Marathon Trials. A bunch of American men ran fast in Chicago and Galen Rupp DNF’d. Is Rupp in trouble for the Trials? What about Jordan Hasay, Shalane Flanagan, Amy Cragg of Des Linden?

Plus Lebron James China talk, some hot (NSFW) audio from a caller, and some Mo Farah and Paula Radcliffe talk.
