Correction to podcast: The 2020 Marine Corps Marathon is only virtual this year. We reported erroneously that it was still slated to be held in person in the podcast. Joshua Cheptegei ran 12:35.36 to break Kenenisa Bekele's world 5,000m record, Jakob Ingebrigtsen ran a European 1500m record and Monaco more than lived up to the hype. Fast domestic times at the Music City Distance Carnival including a 4:01 by a high school sophomore. Peachtree 2020 is cancelled, one big marathon in the US is still on, and Stockholm DL is on Sunday. We break it all down. (The LRC Supporters Club is here.
