    Kejelcha WR, Rocky Hansen (Guest), NYC Marathon, Death of NCAA Track?

    NCAA XC star Rocky Hansen joins us at 75:03 to discuss his breakout freshman year, training, NILs and a lot more.

    Yomif Kejelcha hammered from the front once again and this time was rewarded with the world record in the half marathon as he ran 57:30 in Valencia to break Jacob Kiplimo's record by 1 second.

    Kejelcha won near universal praise on the LetsRun forums, but are supershoes diminishing the world records? Kejelcha also holds the indoor mile world record.

    Agnes Ngetich impressed on the women's side running 63:04 and Olympic triathlete Morgan Pearson was the first American. Should he pull a Gwen Jorgensen and try and make the US Olympic team in the marathon? Show notes below.
