We start with track and field trivia.

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.

Josh Kerr is running World Indoors vs Yared Nuguse and Selemon Barega.

Cole Hocker was sublime in the 1500m at the USATF Champs. Are Kerr and Hocker favorites for Gold in Glasgow?

Noah Lyles took down Christian Coleman, what does that do to his gold medal chances? Meanwhile Letsile Tebogo broke the 300m world record.

We break it all down, pay our respects to Henry Rono, talk about a great guest article by Andy Hardt on Kelvin Kiptum, and have our thread of the week: Could you beat a random American for $1 million with your life on the line?

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.

Shhhh. Don't tell Jonathan Gault or Weldon Johnson but Robert Johnson secretly recorded this show without their permission. He reveals his biggest disappointments and surprises for 2023 and then gets super excited about the 2024 Paris Olympic Marathon. He breaks down the course and without saying it predicts that a sub-4 mile in the middle of it is more likely than a sub-2 hour marathon. He made that prediction on the messageboard. Speaking of messageboard, these are the two threads he talked about this week:

• Wife takes 45 minutes to say goodbye at holiday parties
• Dumbest article ever: Reuters: Will 2-hr marathon finally be broken at Paris Olympics? I'd be SHOCKED if it was under 2:04

Time stamps:

• 0:00 Intro and then talk about what percent of top 3 finishers at USAs repeat as top 3 the next year?
• Does this ratio hold true at the Worlds level? What percent of medallists at the Worlds level repeat the next year?
• 8:15 Breakthrough performers of the year - Yared Nuguse, Krissy Gear, Addy Wiley, etc.
• 15:30 How about some love for Lamecha Girma?
• 16:55 What shocked Rojo at the Worlds level? Who broke out in 2023? Emmanuel Wanyoni, Ben Pattison, Narve Nordas, and Simon Koech all get some love.
• 19:30 Can Evan Jager have Joe Flacco type moment in 2024?
• 20:05 Rojo shares his biggest disappointment of the year - Cooper Teare.
• 23:15 Rojo talks about a messageboard thread that should make married people laugh.
• 24:23 Rojo gets mad that people are talking about a sub-2 hour marathon at the Paris Olympics. He tells you why it won't be won in unde 2:04:00 but then gets super excited about what the individual mile splits will be - some over 5:20 - some near 4:00 - as John Kellogg helps him break down the elevation profile.

The 2023 NCAA Championships are in the books and Graham Blanks of Harvard got a convincing win as Parker Valby of Florida was dominant, and so were Dave Smith's Oklahoma State men, while the NC State women edged NAU thanks to some heroics by Katelyn Tuohy.

A course record fell at the 2023 TCS New York City Marathon but it wasn't the one everyone expected as Tamirat Tola became the first man under 2:05 in NY running 2:04:58. Hellen Obiri showed she's a marathon star as she outkicked Letesenbet Gidey to complete the Boston-NY double. We break it all down.

There were more departures from the Bowerman Track Club, we assess its situation, and Kelvin Kiptum is going to run the Rotterdam Marathon. Did he turn down a mega payday from London?

Kelvin Kiptum ](https://www.letsrun.com/news/2023/10/kelvin-kiptum-runs-20035-to-smash-world-record-at-2023-chicago-marathon/)[ran 2:00:35 at the Chicago Marathon to smash Eliud Kipchoge's world record and become the first man under 2:01:00 in the marathon.

Sifan Hassan ran 2:13:44, 47 days after Worlds on the track, to move to #2 all-time.

Conner Mantz and Clatyon Young got the Olympic standard for the American men as Galen Rupp came up short on the fastest day of American marathoning since Dick Beardsley and Alberto Salazar.

Emily Sisson led the US women as Emma Bates faltered, but Molly Seidel impressed. Sara Vaughn did well at age 37, but was Gabriella Rooker the most impressive of everyone?

We break down everything Chicago before turning to whether Cooper Teare should leave the Bowerman Track Club.

On this week's show we spend most of the first hour breaking down the 2023 Berlin marathon where Tigst Assefa ran an incredible 2:11:53. How shocked were we by the run? What it made it possible - pacing, shoes, talent, or doping? Eliud Kipchoge got the men's win in the 8th fastest time in history but is he starting to slip? The US men did not do well - will they even get three into the Olympics on world ranking? Should Paul Chelimo run the marathon Trails or does he have a better shot in the 5000? We break it down for you.

Eugene, Oregon will host the US Olympic Track and Field Trials and Rojo is irate. The NCAA xc season got underway and some super freshmen impressed while others totally bombed. Plus Brandon Miller and a ton of top sprinters have new coaches.
