Andy and Rick are joined by Mark from The Running Channel to break down an extraordinary year for elite running. In April alone, five of the ten fastest men’s marathon times in history were recorded, while this year has also seen a new women’s-only marathon world record and a new indoor 800m World Record. In the trail world, Rachel Entrekin smashed the Cocodona 250 course record by an incredible seven hours.
Clearly, the elites are getting something right... so what can the rest of us learn from them?
The team also dives into the catastrophic failure of the Enhanced Games and why, in hindsight, it perhaps shouldn’t come as a surprise.
