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.

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. Show notes below.
