LetsRun.com's Track Talk: The Home of Running and Track and Field2 Juli

Pre Preview, Kenny Bednarek (guest) + Lutkenhaus AR?, loaded Bowerman Mile, Kipyegon returns

Jonathan Gault and Rojo preview a stacked Prefontaine Classic, from Cooper Lutkenhaus chasing the American 800m record and Jackson Spencer's shot at Alan Webb's high school mile mark, to a loaded Bowerman Mile featuring Yared Nuguse, Cole Hocker, Niels Laros and Cam Myers, and Faith Kipyegon's much-anticipated return in the women's mile. They also break down the men's and women's 100m fields, Keely Hodgkinson's build toward a world record attempt, and Marco Langan's surprise pro signing.

At 50:52 US 100m champion Kenny Bednarek joins to discuss switching from the 200m to the 100m at Pre, his rivalry with Noah Lyles, his elaborate recovery routine, his Grand Slam Track experience, and his goals for the Ultimate Championship in a season without Worlds or the Olympics.

The show is hosted by LetsRun.com co-founders Weldon Johnson, a 2-time Team USA member, and Robert Johnson, a former Cornell coach who helped pace the marathon world record, along with award-winning senior writer Jonathan Gault.
