LetsRun.com's Track Talk: The Home of Running and Track and Field5 Mai 2022

Erriyon Knighton 19.49!, Penn, Drake, Farah & Hasay Struggle, Guest Ben Flanagan

Erriyon Knighton ran 19.49 at age 18, Trayvon Bromell blasted Andre De Grasse at 100m, and Athing Mu crushed Ajee' Wilson at 600, as it was Penn and Drake Relays week with the 4 x 1 mile record at Penn fizzling out on leg #1.

Ben Flanagan is our guest at 80:30 to talk about what happened on the lead-off leg at Penn, running for 79-year-old Ronnie Warhurst, and his future in the marathon.

Erik Sowinski got sub 1:50 #200, and we ponder what's next for Jordan Hasay and Mo Farah who both struggled as Aliphine Tuliamuk and Wesley Kiptoo did not.

This weekend's Sound Running meet is loaded with Jakob Intebrigtsen taking on many of the best US-based athletes at 5000m.
