Our 2024 Chicago Marathon Preview, + Our Thoughts on Strava's "Athlete Intelligence" AI Feature

Our editors Alex Cyr, Katelyn Tocci and Michael Doyle breakdown everything you need to know about the 2024 Chicago Marathon, one of the biggest marathons in the world!

But first they discuss their early experiences using Strava's new "Athlete Intelligence" AI (1:02), which provides a training prompt after each run. Is it merely a low-fi chatbot gimmick or the future of coaching?

Then they get into the Chicago Marathon (11:05), unpacking the history of the race, the vibe in Chicago on race weekend, how to live stream the Chicago Marathon, and whether or not we'll see a marathon world record attempt (or perhaps an American women's marathon record). They unpack what to anticipate from the elite races, and what it's like to run the Chicago Marathon.
