We talked about this return to the 10,000 in addition to the Athletes of the Year, new blood doping tests that might be ready in time for the Olympics, some notable Turkey Trots, and a quick preview of Valencia/reminder to watch tomorrow.

We got to talk to Clare F. of the 1609 Podcast leaderboard fame this week, and she joined us for the whole show! We talked NCAA XC, which schools were actual AI inventions, trail and road news, Hasay's coaching changes, Olympics, and what we'd tell our younger running selves, and that was all ahead of the interview!

That's right. The IAAF (or World Athletics) has confirmed receipt of  the refund for the overpayment they sent in 2017. This is it. This is all we have for this story. It's been a fun ride. But while we were covering the end of this rollercoaster of a scoop, we also talked about whether athletes should boycott the Diamond League after the absurd program cuts for the 2020 program (Tianna Bartoletta blog post here). We talked about the NCAA XC regionals that have already taken place now and the...

It's been a wild couple of weeks. We had to make up ground on NYC and the USATF 5K and make wild prognostications on NCAA Conference XC meets. We also talked about the new changes to the Diamond League 2020 event lineups and talked about the painful stories of abuse at the hands of NOP staff from Mary Cain.

That's right, it only took us like 30 episodes to get another guest on. We've got Jeremy Ardanuy on this week, who has not only been topping our leaderboards lately, but also topped the podium at the 2019 Baltimore Marathon! We talked about a handful of running things and then also got to read another legendary letter from our pal Roger.  Editor's Note: We are almost back for real for real to a normal recording schedule; next week might be wonky because of NYC Marathon but after that we...

JK we pretty much just talked about four things and it took over two hours. Not quite a PR, but close! In addition to all the things you're expecting (1:59:40, 2:14:04, NOP, and shoes) we went head-to-head with athletes to determine which man and woman should wear the Athlete of the Year crown. We talked about pacing at Worlds and the relaxation of Rule 40 as well. Catch us at @1609pod on social and Patreon or send us an email/voice memo at [email protected]!

That's right, this sucker is 140 minutes long, which is 18 minutes longer than the runtime for the recently released feature film "Joker". You could go see that whole movie and we'd still be talking about some combination of the Alberto Salazar coaching ban by the IAAF, discussion about what really constitutes a breach of coaching ethics, why the way people cast speculation of doping on incredible performances is so often dumb and ruins the moment for fans and also seven days worth of results...

Hey there, just a warning that the audio quality on the part where Alex joins in (16:22 to end) degrades quite a lot because she was recording on the phone in the car so if that's going to bug you, you might bail at that point. BUT if you do that, you'll miss a recap of the following Worlds events: women's marathon, men's 100m, women's 10,000m, and the men's 5000m prelims. You'll also miss our Berlin Marathon recap! Choose your adventure! Catch us at @1609pod on social and Patreon or at...

Not the burgers, this isn't a food podcast. We're talking about people, events, and brands and whether they're in or if they're as out as wearing white after Labor Day. In this episode, find out how far tennis players run in each match, who pulled out of which races, who set world records, and why the IAAF...or Global Athletics' selection process for Worlds has let down some athletes that had already booked their tickets to Doha. Catch us at @1609pod on social and Patreon or at...

And they always involve Mo Farah and Jenny Simpson. We talked Great North Run and Fifth Avenue Mile plus that Woody/woodsy 5000 on Nike's track. We also tried to convince you about how great the Japanese trials are going to be and talked about the organic track beef coming from the Kenyan steeple team.

We started off the third season of the 1609 Podcast by talking about the last two meets of the Diamond League this year! We had a lot to cover between two DL meets, the Coleman testing resolution, Drew Hunter's news about Worlds, a number of ultra races and a few track and road races as well. We also got a cool email and talked about our weeks in training. The 1609 Podcast is a proud member of the CITIUS MAG Podcast Family! For more running content, check out @CITIUSMAG on twitter or...

We wrap up our second season with some Japanese records falling, and more discussion of track, trail, and road races. We also considered coaches and talked about the big not-quite-doping news this week. And on that bombshell...see you next week, thanks for listening!

Nailed it. This week was a little light on content. We did a high level Pan Ams recap, talked shoe...laces, answered some of Google's favorite running questions, talked a lot about our feet, and covered a little bit of pro news.

We didn’t think we would have a full length show this week, but it turns out this one was pretty solid. We have the usual doping segment, plus comfortable shoes, Beach to Beacon, NYC. a Rathod fields (and why some folks are running it so close to the Trials), some Pro moves, a fast half by a high school freshman and a few other treats this week.

The puns are getting tougher. Not as tough as that women's 400h race at the USA Championship though! We spent a very long time breaking down the races from this past weekend, but found time for doping talk, a few Tokyo topics, and (if we're honest, pretty cursory) discussion of the Canadian champs. So if you were looking for in-depth discussion of the big race between Ahmed and Knight, we're sorry to have let you down. The 1609 Podcast is a proud member of the CITIUS MAG Podcast Family! For...

We wanted to release this interview that Alex got to do with Chris Bustard, a runner (and rower and skier and...lumberjack?) who's got a fun resume of beer miles and marathons and ultras. He finished the Vermont 100 this past weekend in the midst of a bad heat wave in the area and we figured it was time to have him on. We talked about his varied athletic endeavors, and how he got into running ultras and the really metal race he's got coming up next. The 1609 Podcast is a proud member of the...

That's right, we're continuing with the awful pun titles and this is the London recap! We had a chat about what Kipchoge's jamming out to, talked about Le Tour, wrapped up the Pan Am Games drama, and covered some signings, all before we covered the happenings in the two day London meet. Thanks again to Anonymous Runner for the kind words and Patreon support! PS: Listen to the end and let us know if you're interested in USAs next weekend.

That's right, we've got another fresh meet this week! We talked about Monaco and about talking to ourselves, Gold Coast, Chicago, the Sunset Tour meet in California, Sting and the Police, new shoe news, and a special appearance from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. We got some good tweets this week as well! The 1609 Podcast is a proud member of the CITIUS MAG Podcast Family! For more running content, check out @CITIUSMAG on twitter or citiusmag.com.

Since Lausanne wrapped up about 45 minutes before we recorded, we got to recap that fresh slab of race results, and we covered everything from Pre last weekend. Plus: Wester States, Peachtree, Rio Corruption, Brooks Beasts, Alan Webb, and more! The 1609 Podcast is a proud member of the CITIUS MAG Podcast Family!

Old person's marathon results, some gross microbial news, an update on the 1:59 project featuring Eliud Kipchoge, and a quick preview of Western States happening this weekend. We actually did a full-ish preview of Pre because it's going to be pretty top notch out there on Sunday. Finally, we wrapped up with a long explanation of the latest example of how USATF is failing its athletes. It's another fun one! The 1609 Podcast is a proud member of the CITIUS MAG Podcast Family!

Noah Lyles false started a 150m race, we're a World Best podcast now, and some collegians went pro! Plus everything in the title and a new, more inclusive name for the USOC.

We started off with some devastating news this week about Gabe Grunewald's passing. If you'd like to donate to her foundation, you can do so at this site. We had lots of races to recap after that, including NCAAs and Oslo, plus some news about the Hardrock 100. We talked athletes going pro, a potential 1500/5000 double, and why one runner was banned for having rat poison in his blood. The 1609 Podcast is a proud member of the CITIUS MAG Podcast Family!

We're in the swing of the Diamond League! We've got Rome results, who's best at pacing, an update on Gabe Grunewald and more talk of tainted beef.

But we're talking about it! And doping! And whether living the dream is really that great, why no one will have pictures of Tokyo 2020, plus some action from a homophonically named 10K and a Diamond League meet.  The 1609 Podcast is a proud member of the CITIUS MAG Podcast Family!
