Clayton Murphy (guest) hangs them up, Jakob injured, Athing Mu Races, World Relays

American 800m superstar Clayton Murphy has hung up the spikes and joins us at 65:37 to discuss his career.

Prior to that we break down Jakob Ingebrigtsen's achilles injury and Athing Mu running the weirdest 1500m we've ever heard of. Plus, Casey Clinger set an American record at 25k and should we be alarmed that the USA only left World Relays with one gold medal?
