2017 NCAA XC Champs

Rojo and Jon break down the 2024 World Cross Country Championships in Belgrade Serbia which take place this Saturday.

Noah Lyles, the 100m and 200m world champion, is our special guest at 82:23, along with his coach Lance Brauman at the 101:29 mark. We observed a day of training of their Pure Athletics group, after Noah returned from wrapping up a transformational season in the 60m at World Indoors where he won silver. Prior to that we wrap up the indoor season and discuss the exploits of Nico Young and Parker Valby at NCAAs, but also turn our sights to outdoors where Jakob Ingebrigtsen is going to face Josh Kerr and Yared Nuguse in the Bowerman Mile. Nico Young is running The TEN. Want a 2nd podcast every week? And savings on running shoes?

The running world tragically lost one of its brightest lights, Kelvin Kiptum, the world record holder in the marathon, the man who in 10 months revolutionized how the marathon can be run, tragically passed away at the age of 24. We pay our respects. Then we turn to an amazing 2024 Millrose Games where Devynne Charlton started things off by breaking the world record in the 60m hurdles but the highlight was Josh Kerr running 8:00.67 to break the 2-mile world record and take down Grant Fisher, plus American records by Ellie St. Pierre, a big run by Yared Nuguse, Hobbs Kessler and even Cole Hocker. Plus, Alicia Monson broke an American record and Rojo wasn't that impressed. We break it all down and then take a look at a stacked USATF Indoors. Show notes below. Want to stay more focused?
