Sind wir Gravelbikes nicht eigentlich Allroad-Bikes? Selten fährt man nur im Gelände. Genau das verstehen die MTB-Leute nicht, die unsere Bikes mit den dicken Reifen für überflüssig halten. Und mit den neuen Zipps stellt ein weiterer Hersteller die Weichen in Richtung 32 oder gar 35 mm im Rennrad. Die Reifenhersteller sind jetzt in der Pflicht nachzuziehen. In dieser vollgepackten Folge nehmen wir euch mit durch den Frühling der Social Rides: Vom Gravel Club x Fidlock Ride über die HNVR CRIT Ausfahrten bis hin zu spannenden Events wie dem Jaegher Community Ride mit Testbikes und dem großen Raceday am V17 Café. Tech-Talk gibt's natürlich auch: Wir vergleichen das neue Six Moon Designs Zelt Orbiter mit dem Lunar Solo, diskutieren über die gesichteten 2x13-fach-Gruppen von Campagnolo und schauen uns die neuen Garmin Forerunner 970 an – eine ernsthafte (und günstigere!) Alternative zur Fenix 8. Im Mittelpunkt stehen aber die brandneuen Zipp 303 SW Laufräder – mit breiter Innenmaulweite und maximalem Fahrkomfort. Dazu steigen wir tief in die Diskussion rund um Reifendruck ein: Was bringt ein integrierter Drucksensor wirklich, oder ist das reiner Hype? Und warum wird Luftdruck bei modernen Setups immer entscheidender?

Dit is de 214e aflevering van de Slimmer Presteren Podcast, over sport, onderzoek en innovatie. In deze aflevering hebben Gerrit en Jurgen het over:Je herstel bepalen met behulp van AI: zinvol of onzin?INLEIDING:Hoe weet je of je écht hersteld bent na een zware training? Je sporthorloge zegt misschien dat je ‘ready to train' bent, maar klopt dat wel? In de aflevering van deze week duiken we in de wereld van AI en herstelmetingen.We bespreken of AI echt kan voorspellen wanneer je klaar bent voor je volgende training en welke factoren – zoals slaapkwaliteit, stress en spierpijn – daadwerkelijk je herstel beïnvloeden. Ook sportarts Guido Vroemen deelt zijn visie: hoe betrouwbaar zijn deze algoritmes eigenlijk? Ontdek in deze aflevering:Welke data écht iets zeggen over je herstelWaarom AI-modellen soms de plank misslaanHoe je wearables slim gebruikt zonder er blind op te vertrouwenLuister nu en bepaal zelf: zinvol of onzin?Vragen die in deze aflevering worden beantwoord: 1. Hoe betrouwbaar zijn sporthorloges en AI-gestuurde herstelvoorspellingen?Gerrit en Jurgen bespreken hoe hun eigen Garmin-horloges vaak meldingen geven over hun herstelstatus, maar dat deze niet altijd logisch aanvoelen. Zo kreeg Jurgen na een rustige dag de melding dat zijn herstel was bevorderd, terwijl hij dat zelf helemaal niet zo ervaarde. Bovendien wijzen ze erop dat Garmin en Polar hun algoritmes niet openbaar maken. Hierdoor blijft onduidelijk hoe de berekeningen precies tot stand komen. Guido Vroemen bevestigt dat hij regelmatig verschillen ziet tussen verschillende wearables, wat de betrouwbaarheid in twijfel trekt. Conclusie: handig als indicatie, maar niet als heilige graal. 2. Welke factoren hebben de grootste invloed op herstel?Uit de besproken studie blijkt dat spierpijn, slaapkwaliteit, stressniveau en eiwitinname de belangrijkste voorspellers van herstel zijn. Gerrit merkt op dat dit eigenlijk best logisch is: als je veel spierpijn hebt, slecht slaapt of gestrest bent, voel je je vaak minder fit. Toch vinden ze het opvallend dat zaken zoals calorie-inname of specifieke trainingsbelasting minder invloed hebben dan vaak gedacht. Dit roept de vraag op of al die extra meetwaarden op je horloge eigenlijk wel nodig zijn. 3. Kan AI voorspellen wanneer je weer kunt trainen?In de aflevering komt de vraag van luisteraar Ivo Habets aan bod. Hij merkt op dat zijn Garmin Forerunner 955 een nieuwe trainingsfitheid-score gebruikt die real-time bepaalt of hij klaar is om te trainen. Hij vindt het opvallend dat Garmin dit vaak beter lijkt te doen dan Polar, maar soms ook vreemde voorspellingen maakt. Zo kreeg hij na een rustige duurtraining een veel langere herstelperiode toegewezen dan na een intensieve intervaltraining. Gerrit en Jurgen herkennen dit en vermoeden dat het model niet altijd de juiste accenten legt. Guido Vroemen vult aan dat AI moeilijk kan voorspellen hoe een individu zich voelt, omdat iedereen anders reageert op trainingsprikkels. 4. Wat is de beste manier om je herstel te monitoren?Gerrit en Jurgen bespreken hoe sommige fanatieke sporters, zoals tijdens een evenement in Amsterdam, continu hun HRV en herstelstatus checken. Maar uiteindelijk blijkt ‘zin om te trainen' vaak de beste graadmeter. Guido bevestigt dit: hij ziet bij zijn atleten dat zij zich vaak intuïtief goed bewust zijn van hun herstelstatus. Zijn advies: combineer data uit je sporthorloge met je eigen gevoel en ervaring. Als je uitgerust bent en zin hebt om te trainen, is de kans groot dat je lichaam er klaar voor...

Patrick Martin ran 2:24 at the most recent London Marathon at the age of 42 with only a little over 3 years of running experience behind him. Patrick was persuaded by work colleagues to race a 10km at age 38 and ran 38 minutes off training every 2nd day for a few weeks. Fast forward to April 2023 and Patrick ran 2:24:31 at the London Marathon without taking any carbohydrates or during the race. In this conversation Patrick talks about how he prepared for his first 10km race, his 2:24 at the London Marathon and everything he's learned along the way.

We're off for the holidays but we didn't want to leave your podcast feed empty this week so here's a recent conversation that Kyle Merber and I had with PUMA Elite's Patrick Tiernan and Fiona O'Keeffe while at The Running Event in Austin, Texas. They're fantastic leaders on the up and coming team based in North Carolina that is coached by Alistair and Amy Cragg. Tiernan sat down with us just two months after running 2:11:02 in his marathon debut at the Chicago Marathon. Fiona has put together a strong year that was highlighted by a 67:42 half marathon in Houston and her first national title at the U.S. 10-Mile Championships in October. She was also the top PUMA woman in their win at Sound Running's Cross Champs, which was the day after we recorded this.

“All they threw at me was ‘impossible, impossible, impossible.' I said, ‘OK. I accept but how are you going to do it?' They said, ‘You don't get it. It's impossible.' I said, ‘No, you don't get it. How are you going to make it happen anyway?' Probably from being a coach and an athlete, I can set that spark in people so that they trust me and if I really believed so much in this idea that they joined the team to make it happen.” Olivier Bernhard is one of the founders of On Running. He's been a runner and athlete his entire life but in 2010, he was looking to pitch several major sportswear companies on selling runners and athletes a new experience and feel while running as opposed to just another product. When he was turned away several times, he took it upon himself to create a prototype and pursue the project independently. He showed off the first Frankenstein shoe to his friends David Allemann and Caspar Coppetti and they decided to partner on starting On. The brand has since partnered with tennis legend Roger Federer and IPO'ed in September 2022 with a $6 billion valuation. I had the chance to sit down with Olivier last month and got a bit of the story of how this company came together and why they're going to continue pushing innovation and high performance with their athletes and a major investment in running.

“Like any athlete or person, when you cross one task off your list you think, ‘I can do better.' After CIM, I feel OK and I ran what I ran but you know what? I probably can run faster. I felt very controlled and ran a very smart, conservative race where I knew I would successfully complete this task and this mission that I'm on.” Maegan Krifchin is a professional marathoner for the Atlanta Track Club and I decided to have her on because I needed to know more about the wild past 30 days for her. It starts on Nov. 6 with the New York City Marathon where she ran 2:40:52 in hot conditions. Two weeks later, she ran 2:31:42 to take second in the cold conditions of the Philadelphia Marathon. She capped off her year with a 2:29:21 in perfect conditions to finish 7th in a personal best at the California International Marathon, which also served as the USATF Marathon Championships. This PR was a long time coming for Maegan so I needed to hear more about her decade-long journey to this marathon threepeat.

"Looking back, I should've taken more time to process what had happened after the Olympics. It was such an enormously positive experience that I think it made me forget how difficult it was going into it...I do think you have to be able to take that time to figure out why you're in this sport and why you enjoy doing this and how you're going to take everything forward from there. Please welcome back Molly Seidel to the CITIUS MAG Podcast. We just recorded this at The Running Event in Austin, Texas where we partnered with PUMA Running to host a group run, tape a live podcast and follow around the PUMA Elite women before they won Cross Champs. Stay tuned for more content coming from this trip. I really enjoyed this conversation with Molly as we caught up on a lot from the past year including how she handled some lows in her running due to injury and mental health struggles. She's doing much better and I'm excited for what's to come with her in 2023.

"It's not chance. It's not talent on the team. It's what we talk about and how we train. That's never going to change. Regardless of what athletes we have, we're always going to be able to perform within some contained range – whether that's winning or 5th place, it's always going to be something that we're proud of.” My guest for today's episode is Nico Young. He is a star for Northern Arizona University's track and cross country team. He just finished second individually in the NCAA Cross Country Championships but led the Lumberjacks to their sixth national title in the last seven years. Before even arriving in Flagstaff, he was the sparkplug that kicked off Newbury Park High School's cross country and track dominance when he ran 9:05 for 3200 meters as a sophomore and then won a bunch of state and national titles as a junior and senior. It's been a great progression for him. He's lowered his personal best to 13:11 for the 5000m, which puts him at No. 3 on the all-time collegiate list. He was third at the NCAA indoor and outdoor championships in the event and then took eighth at the U.S. Outdoor Championships 5000m final. All of this and he's still just 20 years old. We touch on a bit of his progression, how he's handled that rise in an era of social media, what makes this NAU team special and also what it was like coming out as gay before the start of the cross country season. I appreciate Nico's openness in this conversation and I'm looking forward to seeing how fast he goes this weekend at the BU Season Opener, where he's the top seed in the men's 5000m.

"The hardest part of the process was the psychological aspect, which I didn't anticipate. I really struggled with postpartum anxiety and some postpartum depression. I think we're talking about it more but it can be quite debilitating, especially when we're expected to be so happy and joyful that we have this new beautiful baby but there is another darker piece that happens for a lot of women. It's definitely something I've struggled with and I'm not totally out of the woods with it. Motherhood has really changed me – mostly for the better but there are some mental health things I really need to stay on top of now." Chelsea Sodaro made history last month by winning the Ironman Kona World Championship women's race and becoming the first American to win in Kona since 2002 and the first American woman to win since 1996. One of the most impressive parts is that she accomplished the feat just 18 months after giving birth to her daughter Skylar. Chelsea was in 5th place going into the run before clocking a 2:51 split on the marathon run – that's after swimming 2.6 miles and biking 112 miles – to win by almost eight minutes. It's super impressive. It was so great to catch up with Chelsea, who was a pro runner when I started covering track in 2012 through her final track race at the 2016 Olympic Trials. We go deep on her journey to find her calling in triathlon, some of the highs and hardships from her pregnancy, what track and field can learn from another sport and of course that epic day in Hawaii.

The 2022 NCAA Cross Country Championships are in the books. The NAU dynasty continues on the men's side as they finished the day with 83 points tied with Oklahoma State but then won the head-to-head tiebreaker. It marked the first time that a tiebreaker determined the national champion. Stanford's Charles Hicks outkicked Nico Young in the final stretch to claim in the men's individual title. On the women's side N.C. State became the first school to go back-to-back since Villanova in 2009 and 2010. They were led by Katelyn Tuohy, who hunted down Florida's Parker Valby despite a 12-second gap and won the women's individual title. We unpack all of the action, the biggest surprises and give some way too early 2023 picks with Isaac Wood of The Wood Report and Kyle Merber.

The NCAA Cross Country Championships are upon us. 31 teams per gender. Two champions. Oklahoma State University will host the 2022 NCAA Cross Country Championships on Saturday, November 19th. The women's race will begin at 10:20 a.m. ET with the men's race slated to follow at 11:10 a.m. You'll be able to watch the races uninterrupted on ESPNU starting at 10 a.m. Kyle Merber will be on the broadcast and making his own ESPN debut.

"I'm really, really proud of this one. I feel like I executed it better than I had a marathon before. I think it was my savviest marathon...I understand I did really well and I made all the right choices. All of the measures of success I met. I don't necessarily have the joy. It's more pride right now." Scott Fauble is back on the podcast for the 7th time, which might be a record for a recurring guest. It's funny to go back and look at the archives because when he first came on this show in 2017, it was ahead of his marathon debut and now he's one of the top U.S. marathoners. He just finished as the top American at the New York City Marathon in 2:13:35 to finish 9th overall. Earlier in the spring, he ran a personal best of 2:08:52 at the Boston Marathon and we did an episode after that performance. Let's unpack another top American performance.

"We wanted to do this for a long time because we knew Orlando can really produce what is needed both by the course, the staging area and the support from our running community, but also our entire community to really put forth a world-class event." We finally have an answer on where and when the U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials will be held as USATF and the USOPC announced we're headed to Orlando on Feb. 3, 2024. The trials are the event where the top three men's and women's finishers who meet the qualifying standards for the Olympics will secure their spots for the Summer Games in Paris. The race will be held in the street of downtown Orlando. I decided to give a call to Jon and Betsy Hughes of Track Shack to hear about some of the early plans since Track Shack is will be staging the event with help from the city of Orlando mayor, the Orange county mayor and the Greater Orlando Sports Commission.

On Sunday, the New York City Marathon returned to full capacity for the first time since 2019 and although the warmer conditions made it tough for runners across the board, the city was alive to celebrate everyone from the 1st to the 50,000th finisher. Kenyans swept the men's and women's pro races for the fourth time this year on the World Marathon Majors stage. The women's race saw a major surprise as Sharon Lokedi, the former NCAA champion out of Kansas, won in 2:23:23 in her debut marathon. 33-year-old Evans Chebet came away with the victory in a wild and unpredictable men's race in 2:08:41 to complete his Boston-New York title double in 2022. Aliphine Tuliamuk and Scott Fauble were the top Americans on the day. We chat through the pro races + Kyle's experience running the race + my first time on a TV broadcast.

My guest for this episode is Jos Hermens. He is the founder of Global Sports Communication and the NN Running team. We recorded this episode back in April when I made a trip to Rotterdam to host the team's 5th anniversary. When they started in 2017, they announced themselves as “the first professional running team” with stars like Eliud Kipchoge and Kenenisa Bekele as the faces of the team. They've also made major strides by bringing in other major sponsors to back the team. We dive into the business side of the team, how Jos transitioned from an Olympian to an agent, what he'd like to see changed within the sport, his obsession with breaking records, stories working with Kipchoge, Bekele and Haile Gebrselassie, plus much more.

"I think she has the talent to be the best in the world in the marathon – just like she's been the best in the world in track and cross-country as well." Last week, Mac Fleet and I traveled to Boulder, Colo. to spend some time with the On Athletics Club and coach Dathan Ritzenhein. We got a chance to sit down and chat about the highs and lows of OAC's 2022 outdoor season + Hellen Obiri's upcoming marathon debut in New York City on Nov. 6. Obiri's move to Boulder has been in the works since she signed with the Swiss sportswear company in January with the intention of focusing on the roads. Ritzenhein worked closely with her agent and former coach Ricky Simms to make the transition as smooth as possible following her 67:05 victory at The Great North Run in September. We also spoke with Obiri about her fall plans a day before she won a silver medal in the 10,000m at the World Championships in Eugene, Oregon. You can watch this full interview with Ritzenhein uninterrupted on the CITIUS MAG YouTube channel.

"I don't think we ever planned to be a running brand but it goes back to this idea that people are complex, diverse and interesting. Brand and business should reflect that. Most businesses don't do it that way. They're like, ‘We do this one thing. That's all we do. If you're into that, you'll get it from us. The rest of your interests, we're not interested. Go somewhere else for your other stuff.' … We're more interested in the New York attitude of like you really don't know who you're talking to and they're probably far more interesting than you realize.” Brendon Babenzien is the founder of NOAH and the men's creative director for J. Crew. A lot of you may have recently seen the collaboration between J. Crew and Tracksmith and Brendon had a lot to do with that because he's a runner and loves the sport. But..don't be quick to call NOAH a running brand. They make clothing for runners but with their own touch. In this one, we go into Brendon's own running, how NOAH came to be, its place within the fashion industry and the importance of producing products with human rights and the environment in mind. Plus, NOAH just released their whole fall and winter collection so check them out.

"As my idea of how those years would unfold so dramatically changed, I started to embrace this saying just for myself that it would always be a surprise ending. I was never going to be able to control exactly how I kept going. It was not the storybook ending to my track career that I imagined. But more recently, even after the whole surprise ending revelation, I decided I can make this a surprise middle. It doesn't have to be the end...In the last few months, changing things up has been reinvigorating. It's given me energy and it's just a new scene." My guest for this episode is Jenny Simpson. This is her second time on the show. Her last appearance in November 2019 is one of my all-time favorite episodes. Now she's back and she's repping a new sponsor. Last week, she signed a new deal with PUMA and announced that she will be shifting much of her focus to the roads. She won three World Championship medals and an Olympic bronze medal in her track career. One of the most astonishing stats is that she broke four minutes for the 1500m in 2009 and 2019, which really was a decade-long stretch as one of America's shining middle-distance stars. We discuss all of the big changes and also discuss some of the hardships from the past two years with injuries and also being displaced from her home due to the Colorado wildfires last December. Jenny is always one of the most thoughtful people to chat with. I'm sure we could've kept going for hours. Listen to Jenny's first appearance on the podcast here.

"It's been such a big goal for so long. I remember back in college, Ray (Tracey) said to me once, “You're going to set the American record in the marathon someday.' I was like, ‘Okay…' But he said it as a fact like, ‘You're going to do it.' Just because someone has the potential doesn't mean it necessarily will happen. There are so many factors and variables. But he was just like, ‘No. You will set it someday.' It feels like part of a long journey." My guest for this episode is the new American record holder in the women's marathon – Emily Sisson. She just ran 2:18:29 to take 43 seconds off the previous record of 2:19:12 set by Keira D'Amato at the Houston Marathon in January. The race was won by Ruth Chepngetich in 2:14:18 – which is the second-fastest time in history. Sisson now owns two American records She set the half marathon record in 67:11 back in May. We go inside the making of this American record, how she trusted her coach and pacers to make it happen, the appetite to go faster and what's being said in this group chat with U.S. marathoning greats Keira D'Amato, Deena Kastor and Joan Benoit Samuelson.

“What I love about being out here and doing this is that I didn't think it was accessible. I didn't think I was going to run sub-3. Why would I think that? That's crazy. But what I've been able to do is inspire people, which I wasn't trying to do but I feel good about that. I just want us to all feel – especially Black American women – that we can do that. I started because I wanted to train and get faster. There's nothing stopping anyone from doing that.” My guest for this episode is Erica Stanley Dottin, who is a mother of two, a wife and runs with Black Roses NYC. She isa producer and also works as the Tracksmith New York City Community Manager. At 48 years old, she just ran 2:52:05 for a huge personal best at the Berlin Marathon. The time makes her the 25th Black American woman to break three hours in the marathon since 1973. It's a list that started being tracked by Ted Corbitt and is now kept by his son, Gary. We discuss her running career from her sprinting days at Georgetown to what called her to the marathon.

“For the longest time, I thought sub-2:08 was 4:50/mile pace just because that's what coach Eyestone said one day but he mistyped it in his text message. It's 4:53 pace, which actually makes me feel a lot more confident in sub-2:08 because this whole time I've been thinking sub-4:50 per mile not even thinking that I should check his math out on my own. I think sub-2:08 is reasonable. I know my strengths are and I know where I'm good.” Two-time NCAA cross country champion Conner Mantz is getting ready to make his marathon debut this weekend at the Chicago Marathon. In the past 12 months, he earned national titles in the half marathon and 20K. He's got a 1 :00:55 second personal best for the half marathon, which puts him at No. 9 on the all-time U.S. list so there's plenty of excitement over his potential in the marathon. We talked all about that, his expectations for the race, how much he wants to focus on track or cross country in the future and much more. Plus, we get some NCAA cross country predictions from him.

People seem to enjoy when we talk NCAA cross country in the past so I'm bringing back Isaac Wood, our cross country guru and the founder of The Wood Report to break down for us what we should watch for this season. If you go to TheWoodReportXC.com, you will find all of his rankings and ratings for each team. He goes through every school and every roster to project who will be competing at this year's big dance in Stillwater, Oklahoma on Nov. 17. We've got an interesting season ahead with NAU going for its sixth title in seven years and NC State looking to become the first women's team to go back-to-back in over a decade. Isaac has some bold takes on those teams and much more. I've transcribed some of his big takeaways so you can find those and his rankings at CITIUSMAG.com.

“I'm honestly so happy to get back to this level of running and feeling healthy running again and feeling like myself again. U.S. Champs was one of the most rewarding races of my career, honestly. With everything that I had been through the last four years, the deep, deep belief in myself never went away but there was a lot of doubt that I couldn't get past until I finally had the race result to prove it to me. That was that race. It did a lot for my confidence for the rest of the season for sure.” My guest for this episode is American record holder, Olympic silver medalist and world championship bronze medalist Evan Jager of the Nike Bowerman Track Club. I had him on as a guest back in 2019 as part of a panel with his teammates but this is the first time that he's on as a guest solo. Things are much different now. He missed much of the last four years due to injury but clawed his way back in 2022 to qualify for the World Championships with a runner-up finish at the USATF Outdoor Championships in June. He made the world championship final a month later and finished sixth overall. He shares his thoughts on that performance, the season overall and what he's learned throughout some of the lowest points in his career. We also touch on how he envisions the next two years going through the 2024 Paris Olympics if all goes well. SUPPORT THE SPONSORS GARMIN: Music. Training. Data.

"That record has been the monkey on my back for a long time. I always knew that I had the capability as an athlete to get there but I often wondered if I would be able to reach my full potential and actually do it. To finally do it was special but to be able to share that moment with Sonia (O'Sullivan) was really cool." Kyle Merber and I had a blast chatting with New Balance star Ciara Mageean. She was on a tear the past two months and won a silver medal in the 1500m at the European Championships and Commonwealth Games. She won the Brussels Diamond League women's 1500m in 3:56.63 to smash the Irish national record. She went on to finish second in the Diamond League final behind our previous guest Faith Kipyegon. She is a 12-time Irish national champion and showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon. We touch on how she's been able to handle the pressure of being a national star at a young age and the injuries that came along the way to finally being great. We had great craic so we hope you enjoy this episode too! SUPPORT THE SPONSORS GARMIN: Music. Training. Data. The Garmin Forerunner 245 Music is my favorite running partner. You do the running.

“At the moment, the 1500 meters is a competitive race. Starting this year was crazy with 3:52 and 3:50. It's our generation now. When the upcoming generation is coming, I think it will be lowered to 3:48. Hopefully next year, I'm hoping to run 3:49 and hopefully the next generation will lower it. I think the 1500 meters is a competitive race. To go lower like 3:48 is really possible.” Faith Kipyegon is the greatest women's 1500 meter runner of all-time. She is a two-time Olympic champion and two-time world champion. She just won the 2022 Diamond League title and also clocked the second-fastest time in history this year with a 3:50.37 at the Monaco Diamond League – that's three-tenths of a second shy of the world record. It's coming. In this episode, we talk about just how much she wants it but also some of her roots in the sport, her motivation and what it means to her to show the world just how strong female athletes can come back after giving birth. I really enjoyed this chat with her and I hope this gets you to know her a little bit better.

"My goal for this sport is to be remembered as someone that gave it their all on the track and never left anything. I want to be remembered for inspiring the next generation. I want to set American records. I want to set world records and just strive for the best Abdihamid can do.” Abdihamid Nur is a professional runner for Nike after a remarkable breakout year with Northern Arizona University. He was part of their NCAA cross country winning team but excelled on the track to the NCAA indoor 5000m and 3000m titles. He finished third in the NCAA outdoor 10,000m final but rebounded with a third-place finish at the U.S. Outdoor Championships to qualify for his first World Championship team. It marked the first time he got to rock the Team USA kit and that's truly special since representation matters and his story begins in Somalia and makes stops along the way in Kenya and Egypt before he finally arrived in the United States as a kid. You'll hear all about that, his incredible season and his hunger for more after finishing 11th at the World Championships. Abdihamid is truly someone you're gonna want to support for many years to come.

"My dream to see from my country is to see, in the next five years time I hope, that my country will be able to do anything in distance running – especially in track and field and in the marathons. I really hope that the kind of light that I've put will transcend into raising many champions. I've taken the lead. My brother Jacob is also taking the lead. We believe that these young people when they continue pursuing the sport with discipline, proper guidance and listening, I believe Uganda will be somewhere up there." Uganda's Joshua Cheptegei is just 25 years old and he's already an Olympic gold medalist at 5000m and Olympic silver medalist at 10,000m. He's a three-time world champion. At this summer's world championships, he won the 10,000 meters and finished second to Jakob Ingebrigsten in the 5000m. Oh…and he's also the world record holder at 5000m and 10,000 meters. In addition to all of his work on the track, Joshua Cheptegei works closely with his sponsors including Nike and the NN Running Team to give back to the next generation of runners in Uganda so you'll hear a bit about that as well in our conversation. Kyle Merber and I previously did an episode of Track Snacks where we shared out admiration for Joshua and now you can hear from him yourself.

Chris Chavez and Kyle Merber sit down with Ben Flanagan, Keira D'Amato, Marielle Hall, Colin Bennie and Patrick Tiernan after competing at the 2022 Falmouth Road Race. We were on-site to provide live updates and do our live aftershow to interview the stars of the day. D'Amato is coming off an 8th place finish at the World Championships Marathon and decided to make her Falmouth debut in grand fashion with a 36:14 victory over the seven-mile distance. She became the first American woman to win the race since Magdalena Lewy-Boulet in 2011. Ben Flanagan became just the fifth man in history to win three Falmouth Road Race titles with his 32:25 win over Biya Simbassa. He details how his competitors stayed on his heels, why this one was the most difficult one to win and what he hopes to accomplish with a few more road races scheduled soon. We also speak with Marielle Hall after her third-place showing on how she's learning more about road racing. Colin Bennie shares a bit about his new coaching venture and why he's not planning to run a fall marathon. Patrick Tiernan is a week away from his wedding and in the middle of a training block before debuting at the Chicago Marathon. SUPPORT THE SPONSORS GARMIN: Music. Training. Data.

"I had no idea how much this meant to people. I knew how much this meant to me, Sara and Keira. For the outpouring of support, you would think that we swept the podium. It's so cool that people appreciate the performance for what it was. I think we did everything right in the race and still came up short in our eyes...We put ourselves in a position to be in contention in that race. We worked together the entire time. That's something that doesn't happen very often to find each other in a race." Chris Chavez and Kyle Merber speak with Emma Bates and Joe Klecker at the World Athletics Championships in Eugene, Oregon. Bates finished 7th in the women's marathon in a personal best of 2:23:18. She speaks about the teamwork alongside Sara Hall and Keira D'Amato to put all three American women in the top 10 of the World Championships. She also discusses how she found her confidence and calling in the marathon now. A year after competing at the Tokyo Olympics, U.S. champion Joe Klecker returned to the global championship stage in the 10,000m. He placed 9th in a season's best of 27:38.73.

Chris Chavez, Kyle Merber and John Anderson chat with comedian Michelle Wolf. Before she was crushing the stand-up scene, Michelle was a jumper in high school and at William and Mary.

Chris Chavez, Kyle Merber and John Anderson speak with Rai Benjamin after earning a silver medal in the men's 400m hurdles. In this episode, he explains why the silver medal means so much to him in a season marred by illness and injury. He earned an Olympic silver medal last year in 46.17, which is the second-fastest time in history and the American record. He has broken 47-seconds for the 400m hurdles four times in his career. He also explains why he was blown away by Trevor Bassitt's story, who earned bronze in a personal best of 47.39. SUPPORT THE SPONSORS GARMIN: Music. Training. Data.

"One of my favorite things to say now is that Jud (Logan) was not much of a runner in his day as a hammer thrower but he runs those races with me. I did go back and look back at the race from my fiance's angle. She recorded the race and then recorded the board. They put up Rai's time and the time between me and Rai's time, it's 15 seconds – which thinking about how instantly results pop up is a really long time. I also didn't blink. I was staring at the board and I didn't want to blink because I didn't want to miss it." Chris Chavez, Kyle Merber and John Anderson spoke with Trevor Bassitt after he earned a bronze medal in the men's 400m hurdles at the World Athletics Championships. The moment came just months after the death of Ashland University's longtime head coach Jud Logan. Bassitt has been writing his own workouts for much of the year and earned a silver medal in the 400m at the World Athletics Indoor Championships back in March. He went through the whole outdoor season unsponsored but hopefully, his story and performances will soon change that. SUPPORT THE SPONSORS GARMIN: Music. Training. Data.

"I just came into this year, worked my tail off and worked hard. The two goals that I've had, even when we were at New Balance Indoors, I said I wanted to win the World indoor title and I wanted to come back and defend my World outdoor title. That's exactly what I did. To mark those two things off my bucket list and my things to do this season is great." Chris Chavez, Kyle Merber and John Anderson sat down with Grant Holloway on the day after he successfully defended his 110m hurdles world championship gold medal in Eugene, Oregon. The victory came after Olympic champion Hansle Parchment of Jamaica injured himself in the warmup before the final and U.S. star Devon Allen was disqualified for a false start by one-thousandth of a second (His reaction time was .099/The legal limit is .100).

"It's about the iconic 1969 Mexico City Olympic Games photograph of Tommie Smith and John Carlos on the victory stand of the 200m with their fists raised, black socks and no shoes with their heads bowed during the national anthem. It's the story behind that photograph and it's an amazing story. I'm about as serious of a track fan as you can be. I think I knew about 10% of that story before we started working on it. We walk you through the fact that everyone is from San Jose State – which is so strange. San Jose State is the greatest track and field program in the world in the 1960s." Chris Chavez and Kyle Merber sit down with New York Times best-selling author Malcolm Gladwell to discuss his first trip to Eugene, Oregon for the World Championships and his latest podcast project "Legacy of Speed", which aims to tell the story of John Carlos and Tommie Smith's iconic protest at the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City.

“The caption I kept seeing was ‘Women supporting women.' … I could feel Sara Hall & Emma Bates. You know that dance move where someone throws out a fishing line? I could see them and I felt like they were reeling me in…That's really special to have because we're also competitors.” Chris Chavez, David Melly and Dana Giordano speak with American record holder Keira D'Amato after she finished 8th at the World Athletics Championships Marathon with just 17 days of training. The American women placed 5th, 7th and 8th with Sara Hall and Emma Bates finishing ahead of D'Amato. Keira discusses how she changed her training to get ready for the race, her plan to go up against the best in the world and then the toll the race took on her body.

"This moment and stuff like this means a little bit differently because of where we come from. When I was growing up, Baylor is not an easy school to get into. When my coach came with the grades, they said, 'It's gonna be hard to get you into school.' I told them, 'Look. It's either I get into school or I'm gonna be in the streets...In our culture, we don't make it out. For a situation like this, it's crazy and it's something that we want to get kids to understand that come from where we come from because you can make it out. You're looking at two people from the same type of neighborhoods now on podiums getting medals. That's the big message we try to get out across to people." Chris Chavez, Kyle Merber and Robert Griffin III sat down with Trayvon Bromell and Marvin Bracy the day after they earned bronze and silver medals, respectively, in the men's 100 meters at the World Athletics Championships Oregon22.

“Personally, I never identified as just an athlete. I did sport my whole life. It was the only thing I knew but I've always been the kind of person that's not necessarily that thing that I'm doing. I've always had other interests. For me, I was just ready and it was OK to say, ‘I did the things I tried to do as best as I could do them. Maybe there was more there and more left but that's for somebody else now.'” In Jan. 2017, Ashton Eaton and Brianne Theisen-Eaton announced their retirement at the prime of their respective careers at 28 years old. Ashton was coming off defending his Olympic gold medal at the Summer Games in Rio. Brianne earned a bronze medal in the heptathlon in Brazil as well. They started a family and Ashton went back to school to pursue a degree in engineering. How did the former world's greatest athlete navigate the job market and what were some of the challenges along the way? Ashton sits down with Kyle Merber to open up about his own personal experience. They're also joined by Chris O'Donnell, the co-founder of The Bell Lap, which is a program focused on helping professional Track & Field athletes' transition into the business community.

"The athletes are great and they're the best. We do need to highlight them and not have them hidden. We need the best of the best to stand alone by themselves so that they are highlighted but we have them embedded in a much broader volume of athletes who are good. They're the best too but we need the best of the best to be right there by themselves..."

"Motherhood has definitely helped me transform my own thinking in just knowing that I am strong, fierce and beautiful. Yes, your body has changed. Things changed but you can still do it...It doesn't matter if you turned 30. It doesn't matter if you're a mother. You CAN come back. You can bounce back. You can use it as an advantage and something to motivate you to dream higher, climb higher and achieve more. You're not limited by your age. It's a part of the process. That's how we have to look at it...Embrace the changes." Chris Chavez, Kyle Merber and Jasmine Todd speak with 10x world champion and 3x Olympic champion Shelly-Ann Fraser Pryce after leading the Jamaican women to a 1-2-3 sweep of the medals in the 100m at the World Championships. She also earned a silver medal in the women's 200m and 4x100m. She is one of the most-decorated track and field athletes in history and has no plans of stopping anytime soon. At 35 years old, she is the third-fastest woman ever in the 100m after running a personal best of 10.60 in 2021. We chat all about how she has reframed her mindset in her 30s and after having a child, which has led to much of this success.
