Sub-4 for Kipyegon? | Guests: Andreas Almgren & Dr. Mike Hahn | HS Phenom Go Wild
Is this the week we see the first sub-4:00 mile by a woman? We preview Faith Kipyegon’s historic attempt and dive deep into the science behind it with Dr. Mike Hahn of the Bowerman Sports Science Center & Wu Tsai Human Performance Alliance (1:01:42).
We also chat with Andreas Almgren (1:43:40), fresh off his stunning 12:44 European record in the 5000m. He opens up about training, belief, and adapting Jakob Ingebrigtsen’s methods to reach the next level.
We break down a ridiculous weekend in the men’s 1500 — two guys run 3:27 in Paris (Azeddine Habz & Phanuel Koech), and Cam Myers and Josh Hoey join the sub-3:30 club.
On the U.S. high school front, the talent is exploding: Natalie Dumas pulls off an all-time triple, Cooper Lutkenhaus runs 1:45 as a sophomore, and more phenoms are emerging.

London's New King, Faith Kipyegon's Moonshot, Chebet's Diamond League Madness, Phenoms at Penn
What a weekend!
Nathan Green and UW turned heads at Penn but what about Ethan Strand and Gary Martin?
Sabastian Sawe won London and staked his claim to #1 marathoner in the world although John Korir may want to argue. Former #1 Eliud Kipchoge put up a fine performance.
Sifan Hassan's 4 month lay-off was too much as Tigist Assefa set a women's only world record and took home over $300,000.
The Diamond League opened and Beatrice Chebet was better than ever, while Karsten Warholm got a 300m world record. What's up with Grant Holloway?
And what about Faith Kipyegon's sub 4 attempt?

Bye Bye Indoors + Guests Noah Lyles & Lance Brauman
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.

RIP Kelvin Kiptum, Millrose Games Grades, LOADED USATF Indoors Preview
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.

2023's Biggest Disappointments & Surprises + A SUB-4 Mile In The Middle Of A Marathon?
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.

Jakob and Josh, 6 Athletes of Year?, Niels Laros Upset + Best Thing in Running
World Athletics named 6 athletes of the year, Kelvin Kiptum, Noah Lyles, Mondo Duplantis, Tigist Assefa, Faith Kipyegon and Yulimar Rojas. Yet they left off Ryan Crouser?!

New York: Tola CR, Obiri Double +Bowerman Departures, Kiptum did what?!
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?

(Full audio) Berlin Madness: 2:11 Women's WR, Kipchoge Wins But Is He Slipping? Will The US Men Get 3 Into The Olympics? NCAA XC Gets Underway And Some Frosh Impress While Others Do Not
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.
Here are some of the articles/threads discussed on the show:

(Guest) Michael Johnson, Brosnan OUT at UCLA, High Schooler run 9.89, Marathon Trials at Noon, Bol cleared
Michael Johnson, the Olympic legend joins us on the anniversary of his 19.32 200m world record Olympic gold medal run from the 1996 Olympics to talk all things track and field at the 66:49 mark. What event is he most excited about (hint: Sha’Carri Richardson is in it), what does he think of Syndey McLaughlin-Levrone and Noah Lyles and why isn’t track more popular in the US?
Prior to Michael joining us, we break down Sean Brosnan being ousted at UCLA, the Olympic Marathon Trials being held at noon in Orlando, Pete Bol being cleared, 18-year-old Issam Asinga running 9.89 and discuss which athlete we most want to know is clean or dirty?

Nuguse FTW, Monson 14:19, American medal chances, Chicago Marathon LOADED
Yared Nuguse became the first American male to win a Diamond League 1500 since 2011 as he got the big win in London as his OAC teammate Alicia Monson got the American record in the 5000 by running 14:19. Noah Lyles ran super fast, but barely won.
Friday in Monaco Faith Kipyregon obliterated the women's mile world record as Nikki Hiltz got the American record.
After these big wins and fast times, which Americans have the best chances to medal in the distances.
The Chicago Marathon fields are out and Kelvin Kiptum will be in Chicago, could he get the world record? Ruth Chepngetich and Sifan Hassan will square off on the women's side while Emily Sisson could lower the AR.

High schooler Issam Asinga ran 9.83 to blast Noah Lyles in a 100 and then talked some smack on instagram.

Klecker FURIOUS w Kincaid? Monson American Record, NCAA Indoor Preview, Tokyo Marathon
Alicia Monson crushed the American 10,000m record but was beaten by Eilish McColgan, but we start with 30 minutes on the men's race and Joe Klecker vs Woody Kincaid and the thread: Klecker FURIOUS with Kincaid. Is there a controversy? Is a race more than about winning?
Then we turn to the Tokyo Marathon and Cam Levin's (2:05:36) Canadian and North American record, plus the depth of the Japanese, and Betsy Saina of the US becoming the 8th fastest American ever with her 2:21:40.
We then preview the NCAA meet where the Washington men will be going for history in the mile, 800 U20 phenoms (Will Sumner, Roisin Willis, Michaela Rose, and Juliette Whittaker) could make history and we fully expect Katelyn Tuohy to leave with 2 more NCAA titles.
Then, we end with Euro indoors. Is Jakob Ingebrigtsen just good or arrogant?

Wacky World XC, World Records Galore (Girma, Bol, Crouser), Fred Kerley Signs With..., USATF Indoor Controversy
What a week. We had a crazy and marvelous World Cross Country Championships in Australia with a tough course, brutal weather, Letesenbet Gidey collapsing, greatness from Jacob Kiplimo and two USA junior medals.
Then it was world records galore on the track with Ryan Crouser crushing it, Femke Bol taking down the oldest track record on the books, and Lamecha Girma breaking Daniel Komken's world record.
USATF Indoors was a bit of an afterthought but it delivered with some controversy and Sam Prakel leaving as a double champion.

Records Galore: Woody Kincaid 12:51, Yared Nuguse 7:28, Katelyn Tuohy NCAA record in mile
What a weekend. Yared Nuguse started it off by running 7:28.24, an American record for 3000m and then a few hours later Woody Kincaid shocked the nation and Joe Klecker by running 12:51.61, an American record at 5000m.
The next day Katelyn Tuohy broke the NCAA record in the mile.
Plus a sneaky good performance by Hobbs Kessler, a win and interesting comments from Drew Hunter, a world best by Keely Hodgkinson, Mo Farah news, a nice win by Ajee' Wilson, and another great meet this weekend in Boston.
We break it all down. Show notes below.

Bonus: Dan Michalski - Living the Dream - From Working at Walmart, Wearing the LetsRun Singlet, to the Olympics?
We've got a bonus pod for everyone, as part of our Where Your Dreams Become Reality series.
Daniel Michalski was a baseball player and band member for most of his high school career. Then he tried track and cross country and he has taken the more circuitous route to the top ranks of the sport. He won a a DII NCAA title for Cedarville. He nearly won a DI for Indiana but fell over the final barrier.
Unsponsored, during COVID at one point he was working at Walmart to help support his wife Abby. When she got pregnant, he wanted to find a job with insurance, and that led him to coaching in Texas, training solo, a new coach of his own and a return to the top of the sport.
He was the most gracious 4th placer we've ever seen at the 2020 Olympic Trials, and now has his eyes set on the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Before that he's running the Houston Half Marathon this weekend in the LetsRun.com singlet. A LetsRun.com Supporters Club member, he asked Rojo if he could race in the singlet. We're honored!

(Sponsor) The AIRWAAV® ENDURANCE Performance Mouthpiece is here! Airwaav is a relatively new training tool that launched late in 2020 after nearly 16 years of research. Now they have the ENDURANCE model that provides a more snug fit, keeping the mouthpiece in place for endurance athletes who relax their jaw during long-distance workouts or races. The AIRWAAV performance mouthpiece fits along your bottom teeth and directs your tongue down and forward creating the “optimal airway opening” resulting in:
- Increased airway opening by up to 25% resulting in an immediate 28.5% respiratory rate reduction during a steady-state run
- Increased endurance — by reducing respiratory rate by 20%, resulting in less lactic acid production
- Faster recovery times — by reducing cortisol build-up by up to 50%
LetsRun listeners can save 10% with the code "LR10" Dig into the science and put AIRWAAV to the test. Click here to try it out.

USAs Super Preview, Cade Flatt Just Misses, "Rubbing" in the 800, Paul Chelimo's Workout
The 2022 USATF champs start this week and this is our Super Preview podcast starting at 43:05. But before that we have some thoughts on Jakob Ingebrigtsen and the dream mile, Cade Flatt coming up just short of Michael Granville's record, how much shoving should be allowed in the 800, and John Kellogg joins us at 72:32 to discuss Paul Chelimo's workout.

(Sponsor) The AIRWAAV® ENDURANCE Performance Mouthpiece is here! Airwaav is a relatively new training tool that launched late in 2020 after nearly 16 years of research. Now they have the ENDURANCE model that provides a more snug fit, keeping the mouthpiece in place for endurance athletes who relax their jaw during long-distance workouts or races. The AIRWAAV performance mouthpiece fits along your bottom teeth and directs your tongue down and forward creating the “optimal airway opening” resulting in:
- Increased airway opening by up to 25% resulting in an immediate 28.5% respiratory rate reduction during a steady-state run
- Increased endurance — by reducing respiratory rate by 20%, resulting in less lactic acid production
- Faster recovery times — by reducing cortisol build-up by up to 50%
LetsRun listeners can save 10% with the code "LR10" Dig into the science and put AIRWAAV to the test. Click here to try it out.

Superstars (Tuohy, Fahnbulleh, Allen, Sha'Carri, Steiner) Deliver + Guest Cade Flatt Going for 800 History
What a week. The 2022 NCAA championships are in the books and the Joseph Fahnbulleh freight train arrived, Katelyn Tuohy got NCAA title #1, Abby Steiner got some Allyson Felix comparisons - we break it all down.
At 110:33 we are joined by the fastest high school 800m runner in the nation (and one of the most confident), Cade Flatt (@FlattCade & IG: @cadeflatt) from tiny Benton Kentucky (population 4,756) before he tries to break Michael Granville's 26-year-old national 800m record of 1:46.45 at this weekend's New Balance Outdoor Nationals at historic Franklin Field in Philadelphia. Cade talks about the record, his unorthodox training (how does a 5 mile week sound?), his confidence, and his desire to race the senior USATF Outdoor nationals this year.
Devon Allen shocked the world at the NYC Grand Prix as the US stars were out in full force, Noah Lyles, Sydney McLaughlin, Christian Coleman and Sha'Carri Richardson in her fish net attire. The 50th NY Mini was held. A bonus length podcast to break it all down. Show notes below.

American Record Madness: Grant MF Fisher 12:53, GDS 14:31, Elise Cranny 14:33, Shane Streich!?!
What a weekend! The American record attempt in the mile by Cooper Teare and Cole Hocker may have come up short, but everything else exceeded expectations. Grant Fisher ran 12:53 for 5,000m with the "B" heat being won in 13:05, Gabriella DeBues-Stafford ran 14:31 and Elise Cranny 14:33 to crus the North American and American records. A virtual unknown, the Atlanta Track Club's Shane Streich got the American record at 1,000m, Yared Nuguse the collegiate 3000m record, not to mention the high school 800 record by Roisin Willis.
We break it all down, talk about the doping scandal in figure skating and the retirement of convicted doper and World Champ Justin Gatlin.

Emma Bates - America's Newest Marathon Star (Guest)
We catch up with Emma Bates after she ran 2:24:20 to finish second at the Chicago Marathon and become the ninth-fastest American woman of all time. Bates ran through her race strategy and why most of her Team Boss teammates flew out to Chicago to cheer her on in-person. She also discusses her painful divorce, which caused her to relocate from Idaho to Boulder and begin training under Joe Bosshard, and how she was able to navigate that period of her life and emerge stronger. Bates also wants to run the World Championship marathon next year in Eugene...but nine months out from race day, she’s still waiting on USATF to let her know how it is picking the team.

Galen Rupp is Baack, Mary Cain Sues Nike for $20 Million, Emma Bates Impresses, CJ Albertson Entertains, and RIP Agnes Tirop

- Increased endurance — by reducing respiratory rate by 20%, resulting in less lactic acid production
- Increased strength — by improving muscular endurance
- Faster recovery times — by reducing cortisol build-up by up to 50%

Olympic Marathoner Jake Riley "There's a big part of me that wants to try and go for a medal"
Jake Riley had a rags to riches story in making the 2020 US Olympic Marathon Team.
In 2018 he hadn't raced in two years and was 50% certain he wouldn't race competitively again. In 2019, he entered the Chicago Marathon thinking he might want to run 2:17 and he ended up running 2:10:36.
Then at the US Olympic Trials he found himself in a 3-way battle for 2 Olympic spots. He finished second and will make his Olympic debut at the end of next week.

Houlihan Popped, NCAA Review, US Trials Preview + Ritzenhein Interview
Episode Notes
Sorry fans, Wejo is on vacation and I am having trouble doing timestamps. But the show basically went like this. 0:00 Shelby Houlihan talk starts it off 44:30 NCAA review 66:00 Olympic Trials preview begins 1:44:30 Dathan Ritzenhein interview
During the show, Rojo admitted if a Salazar athlete was popped he'd 100% have a different reaction but says that makes sense. Here are 12 reasons why it would be reasonable for one to react differently if this was an Alberto Salazar athlete and not a Schumacher athlete.
- Salazar was part of Atheltics west where there was known steroid use.
- Salazar admitted he used steroids himself.
- I had guys calling me unsolicited when Rupp was in college saying weird shit was going down with Rupp getting shots in hotel rooms.
- I had his massage therapist calling me saying they saw weird shit in the apartment.
- I've got a picture of a Nike lab report saying Rupp was on testosterone in HS.
- I know for a fact that Salazar has steroids in his bag and gives Rupp massages even though they have a masseuse on staff.
- Also Slaney was popped.
- I know Salazar violated the rules on Lcarinitine.
- I know Salazar repeatedly violated US prescription med rules.
- I know Salazar sent drugs across the world in hallowed out books.
- I know Salazar loved Dr. Brown. Jerry - who initially was a co-coach with Salazar -on the other hand, thought it was weird and stopped sending his guys there.
- And last but not least I have the assistant coach in the group calling me up saying he's got grave concerns.

Joshua Cheptegei is Distance Running's New King + Monaco Madness
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.

Alan Webb, Ryan Hall & Dathan Ritzenhein Reunited: The Big 3 Discuss Their Greatest Performances, Biggest Lessons, & Much More
Alan Webb, Ryan Hall, and Dathan Ritzenhein rose to prominence in the early 2000s as members of the high school class of 2001. For their accomplishments as teens -- which included two Foot Locker Cross Country titles for Ritzenhein and a 3:53 high school mile record for Webb -- they were christened the "Big 3." Ever since, their careers have been linked, with each going on to break American records as professionals -- Webb in the mile (3:46.91), Ritzenhein in the 5,000 meters (12:56.27, since broken), and Hall in the half marathon (59:43). Hall also is still the fastest American ever at the marathon (2:04:58) from 2011 Boston.
Ritzenhein joined Webb and Hall in retirement earlier this month, marking the end of an era in American distance running. The Big 3 bridged the gap between the low point of American distance running in the 1990s and the success of the late 2000s and 2010s, where it has become common for Americans to bring home medals from global championships.
Amazingly, until Ritzenhein's retirement, Ritz, Webb, and Hall had never before gathered for a three-way conversation. We thought we had generated an incredible idea for LetsRun -- until Hall revealed he had had the same idea for his own podcast, which was published Wednesday! But the three of them had such a good time talking that they agreed to gather on Zoom for a second interview with LetsRun this week.
Find out why Ritz had Webb's face on his dartboard as a high schooler, how Webb was able to beat Ritzenhein in their famous 10k showdown in 2006, which performances each believes was the best from their careers, their biggest lessons from the sport, Webb and Ritz's thoughts on their time with the Nike Oregon Project and Alberto Salazar's ban, and much more. And when you're done, be sure to check out Hall's podcast - https://anchor.fm/runfree/episodes/Episode-40-The-Big-Three-come-together-for-a-first-ever-three-way-conversation--Dathan-Ritzenhein--Alan-Webb--and-myself-eeanvt where the Big 3 talk about their first encounters and what it was like racing each other as high schoolers.
We actually recorded this podcast as a zoom conference call so you can watch it you like at the following link on the LetsRun.com youtube page:

Brynn Brown, the return of the Major Marathons, everyone is an All-American, bus-only NCAA XC and track and field's Grand Slams

Along the way, we talk about Ben Rosario's idea to create 4 Grand Slams for track and field and wonder how the NCAA xc season will look if teams only travel by bus: https://www.letsrun.com/forum/flat_read.php?thread=10019279.

The Jim Ryun: Greatest American Distance Runner of All-Time GOAT Podcast
This week we devote the entire show to talking to Jim Ryun - the athlete that the LetsRun.com visitors recently voted as the Greatest American Distance Runner of All-Time. During our talk, Ryun talks about his entire career, during which he ran sub-4 and made the Olympics in high school before being named Sports Illustrated Sportsman of the Year during his freshman year of college as he broke the mile WR and met his future wife on the same day. Along the way we of course talk about the 1968 and 1972 Olympics. In 1968, Jim snagged the silver and we point out that if you convert his time for altitude, he ran the equivalent of 3:29 for 1500 in the process according to the NCAA. We also talk about current track and field stars and Jim talks about the relationship he's had with Alan Webb and Matthew Centrowitz. Details appear in the show notes below.

Chris Solinsky Reflects On His Career and His 26:59 and Looks Ahead To The Future at Florida
To celebrate the 10th anniversary of Chris Solinsky's 26:59 10,000-meter run, this week we dropped an extra podcast with Solinsky as the guest. Our regular podcast will come out later. By now, his 26:59 has been discussed and broken down in amazing detail -- heck, our own Jonathan Gault wrote 6,000+ words about it -- so we only spent the first 10 minutes or so of our chat with Chris talking about that.
After the 26:59 talk, we spent a lot of time talking about the rest of Solinsky's magical 2010 season, during which he ran 12:56 or faster for 5,000 three times in the span of 77 days -- a feat that has only been achieved six times by any American, ever. We also got Solinsky to talk about his vision for the University of Florida as he's currently the men's and women's distance coach at Florida. Chris also told a really cool Eliud Kipchoge story.

BONUS: Dr. Madeline Manning Mims - The Greatest US 800m Runner Ever?
We made our talk with Madeline Manning Mims at the end of this week's regular podcast its own podcast.
Manning Mims was not only the 1968 Olympic 800m Champ and first US women to ever go sub 2:00, but she ran 1:57.9, held the US record for 15 years, and won the Olympic Trials 800m in 1968, 1972, 1976, and 1980. She started competing when women did not compete in any Olympic events over 1,500m and the stereotype was black women could not run long distances. She proved everyone wrong. She is a bridge from Jesse Owens to Wilma Rudolph to Ajee' Wilson. She ran her first 800 by accident when they switched an indoor 400 to an 800 and the rest is history. You can follow her on facebook here (and see her giving an Easter concert from her garage for her neighbors during the COVID-19 shutdown). A nice bio on her is here.

Before Meb we delve into the new Olympic qualifying procedures, discuss a non-invited runner winning the NYC Half, a new start for the Boston Marathon, rave about the World Cross Country course in Denmark, plus talk about the $80,000 premature celebration in Bahrain, and if Beto O'Rourke should have run the 3k or get the LetsRun endorsement.
