We're covering the Chicago 10 00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:31,880 Marathon. You both have never been to 11 00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:33,880 Chicago. First timers. 12 00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,800 First timers club. OK I live in Chicago. 13 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:41,320 Very different initial vibes. Initial vibes of Chicago. 14 00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:46,240 Paul, you can be my be my guest. I'm really like in Chicago so 15 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:50,600 far. I'm a really big fan of like big 16 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,640 buildings. They fascinate me because there 17 00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:59,600 aren't any in Florida welcome. So I know like driving in from, 18 00:00:59,920 --> 00:01:03,040 we flew into Midway. So driving in on Thursday night 19 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,720 was awesome. I haven't gone to like the base 20 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:09,240 of the Willis Tower yet. That's on the OR Sears Tower. 21 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:11,360 OK, that's on the itinerary for today. 22 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,720 But yeah, it's we got deep dish last night. 23 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:15,920 Where'd you go? Wait. 24 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,560 Nose east. Oh, you didn't ask me, Paul. 25 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:20,760 Well, Chris, want to send you there. 26 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,280 Chris gave us 2 recommendations. Oh OK. 27 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:27,960 And they were both either far away or all reserved so. 28 00:01:27,960 --> 00:01:30,480 What were the recommendations? I I've, I've heard a lot about 29 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:32,760 the only name I know is Lou Malnati's. 30 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:33,840 Yes. For deep dish. 31 00:01:33,960 --> 00:01:35,560 Yep. And that's it. 32 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,720 Yeah. So the the one. 33 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:41,560 Chris gave us was, I'm not even going to try and pronounce it, 34 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,360 but it's like Pequads. Pequads, Pequads. 35 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:45,360 That's what I would have sent you. 36 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,880 OK, that's where that's where Chris told us to go. 37 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:49,360 Yeah. But I didn't little out. 38 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:50,680 I didn't more out of. The city. 39 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:52,320 Yeah, you would have. I didn't know how long we were 40 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,720 going to be waiting for that, but it was still good. 41 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,520 OK. And yeah, I I'm a big fan of 42 00:01:58,520 --> 00:01:59,880 Chicago. You're a big fan. 43 00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:00,440 OK? I love it. 44 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,440 You're going to go to the Willis Tower today? 45 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:03,360 Yeah. You're going to do this. 46 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,680 There's like a sky. Deck that's too expensive. 47 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:07,240 It is, yeah. Do you know what the Sky deck 48 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,039 is? No, but just from the name alone 49 00:02:10,039 --> 00:02:12,000 I have a like I got something in my head. 50 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,000 Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like a Tower of Terror 51 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,400 situation. No, but it's like a, it's like a 52 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:20,040 glass platform and you can go out and like. 53 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,240 Yes, I see that. High up, it's scary. 54 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:23,480 No, I get it. It's expensive. 55 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,280 It sounds fun, but I'm just going to stand at the bottom of 56 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:27,800 it and look up. And just look up. 57 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:29,160 You're like, man, that's a big building. 58 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,080 It's a big building, yeah. This guy loves buildings. 59 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,600 Yeah. Oh man, OK. 60 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,240 No, Chicago's been great. Got in yesterday. 61 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:42,240 We had a jam packed day, came here, did a quick photo shoot, 62 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,280 ran over, did the alley on the run show. 63 00:02:47,920 --> 00:02:49,920 Quite an experience and then OK you. 64 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:54,360 Shouldn't have glossed over that the star of Ali on the run show 65 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:55,920 the interviewee. Yeah. 66 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,720 So there's Ali and then there was me. 67 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,960 So yeah, I had, I, I had quite the time. 68 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:04,960 Yeah. How'd it go? 69 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:09,040 I thought it went really well. Yeah, yeah, I've done like, you 70 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,840 know, live talks. But this is, I guess my first 71 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:15,200 real live show. Yeah. 72 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:19,520 I didn't know what to expect was it was a so fun, sold out, sold 73 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:20,840 out show. Great time. 74 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:26,240 And then we right from there, we went to a fantastic dinner. 75 00:03:26,640 --> 00:03:29,680 Yep. And so and now we're here. 76 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:33,800 So honestly, I have no complaints so far in Chicago. 77 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,440 It's been it's been super fun. The energy here is great. 78 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:40,400 Like anytime you go to these these marathon weekends, 79 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:45,120 everybody, everybody around, it's like they're all getting 80 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,880 ready. There's energy, the vibes are 81 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:49,720 high and and and you can really feel it. 82 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,320 And tomorrow, I'm really excited for tomorrow because we're going 83 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:57,800 to be watching it outside. The course will come right by 84 00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:58,400 us. Yeah. 85 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:04,920 So if you want to come out to the Old Town happy camper, watch 86 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,840 it with us. Get, get, get these sweet 87 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:14,240 T-shirts, 1st 100 people I think in a T-shirt, 1st 30 people get 88 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,760 a very first runners. OK, yeah, that's actually, 89 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:19,560 that's actually a big, big, big distinction. 90 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:23,200 Big distinction. Runners get the must. 91 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:27,600 Paul. Showed up and just the regular, 92 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,720 the regular Muggles you can get, you're putting time on I believe 93 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:36,160 yes, but you have to be a wizard to get the mud so. 94 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:40,000 Great Harry Potter effort. There's a Harry Potter shop down 95 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:40,760 the street. I saw that. 96 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:42,520 Did you see it? I did see I go. 97 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:43,920 I was seeing I'm like, we've got it. 98 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:45,920 We I know there's like the Willis Tower and stuff. 99 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:50,120 But if I could, if I could kind of some time to mose into the 100 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,960 Harry Potter, that'd be great. So yeah, I'm really excited to 101 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:58,040 be to watch it from the street. Yeah, it's going to be really 102 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,640 fun. The Yeah, Chicago is bringing 103 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,280 the heat so far. Yeah, bringing the heat, we will 104 00:05:03,280 --> 00:05:05,200 be out on the patio. So that's going to be something 105 00:05:05,280 --> 00:05:09,480 we're here by the actual camper inside for anyone familiar, but 106 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,240 we're going to be actually out there like as close to the blue 107 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,120 line as we can get. That's the iconic blue line, if 108 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,840 you guys know that. I was telling this to Mack Mack 109 00:05:17,840 --> 00:05:19,360 the other day. I think that might be just a 110 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,160 Chicago thing. We do like a blue line on the 111 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,120 course and it's like the tangent of the whole race. 112 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,680 Like you want to run the blue line and it like stays all year 113 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,080 long. You can see it in the winter. 114 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:31,600 It's kind of like. That's really cool. 115 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,960 It's our iconic trademark. More races should. 116 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,280 I guess that takes away less thinking. 117 00:05:38,280 --> 00:05:39,880 It's less thinking. It's less thinking. 118 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:44,720 Because I mean, you have runners like, you know, who like Jared 119 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:49,560 Ward, who is known as like the smart marathon runner and he 120 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:53,440 would always run the, the, the best race would probably be 121 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,640 finding these tangents. Now the blue line kind of takes 122 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,920 away from, from a little bit of the thought process, but that is 123 00:05:59,920 --> 00:06:02,320 really cool. I, I, I like that aspect and 124 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,880 it's cool that it's there year round, not just for the 125 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:06,800 marathon. Is that why everything is blue? 126 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:08,560 Is that why the pizza boxes are blue? 127 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,360 Is that or is that I? Think that's just Hoka. 128 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:12,800 But. Nice. 129 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,520 Brand It's a happy accident. It's a it's a good coincidence. 130 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,360 Flag we're blue and red. OK, so there's a lot of things. 131 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,080 There's a lot of blue, Yeah. I mean, blue is a very popular 132 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:26,600 color. Oh, it is most as far as colors 133 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,760 go, Blue is a heavy hitter. No, it's big. 134 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,480 And then we've got the lake. There's a lot of blue stuff. 135 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,960 Yeah, don't, Don't get me started on the sky. 136 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:36,680 Tone back. Off blue. 137 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,960 Blue, who doesn't need any more PR, but here we are talking 138 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:41,920 about. No, it doesn't. 139 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:43,480 OK. And you mentioned that blue sky, 140 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,280 We're going to go into the weather and what that looks. 141 00:06:46,280 --> 00:06:48,560 Like way Garrett, you're a pro. What? 142 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,280 Can I say? Zoom, zoom, good segue. 143 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,440 All right. You're so this is at the press 144 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,040 conference. So this is from the press 145 00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,560 conference yesterday. Yeah, the official weather 146 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:05,720 report from Jay Holder, 54° OK at the start at 7:30 tomorrow, 147 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:10,080 about 58 by the time the pro fields should be finishing up. 148 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:15,920 89% relative humidity at the start, he said, but no wind to 149 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,360 speak up. So really I feel like the 150 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:22,560 humidity is kind of the only issue as of right now, according 151 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:30,720 to Apple Weather still 53 at the start, about 6059 by the time 152 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:32,320 they're going to be finishing up, so. 153 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,560 OK, the other note that when I was looking it up is partly 154 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:41,240 cloudy, which I think is key because towards the last half of 155 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,160 this marathon, it becomes unshaded. 156 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:45,960 You're out of Lincoln Park, you don't have the trees. 157 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,200 It's like wide open. And I think for me and my 158 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:53,000 experience as a four time survivor of this course, it just 159 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,720 gets so hot. I mean it, it's like baking 160 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:56,960 down. And I think the fact that it's 161 00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:00,720 partly cloudy, I like that for like some of these big hitters 162 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,880 like world records and American a record attempts that we're 163 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,280 we're hoping for out there. But I do want to make a 164 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,360 distinction here, Paul. And if you listen to the Getting 165 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:13,280 Trick podcast and you've seen Rachel's receipts, you'll know 166 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,720 there's something about the humidity and the dew point. 167 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,840 She did like a whole whole excerpt on this. 168 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,080 I don't know what dew point. Is you know, I didn't either. 169 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:27,080 Yeah, I think I, I was getting versed on the dew point, I think 170 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:28,880 by Aisha in Tokyo. OK. 171 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,160 The what did you call it, the wet? 172 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,159 The wet bulb, the. Wet bulb. 173 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:38,760 But I, I believe there's a lot of overlap between the wet bulb 174 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:43,240 and the dew point. OK, But I'm not 100% sure on 175 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,000 that. So I'll let you take it away. 176 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:47,720 I'll let you take it away as far as dew points go. 177 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,560 I'm not going to explain it as well as Aisha because mine is 178 00:08:50,560 --> 00:08:52,880 like don't ask any questions I just have the facts. 179 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,480 Humidity 8. You said 89%. 180 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,520 That's like the moisture in the air. 181 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:03,200 The dew point, which is 50°F, is the temperature at which the air 182 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:07,760 is saturated, which is the better indication of how it's 183 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,520 going to feel as opposed to the humidity. 184 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:14,600 Meaning you want to you want a lower dew point as opposed to 185 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:16,160 like a lower humid if you had to pick. 186 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,680 You know what I'm saying? So that's going to bode well. 187 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,760 I'm not saying it's like super ideal conditions, obviously. 188 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:23,440 There's a low. You're saying there's a low dew 189 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:24,840 point tomorrow? A lower. 190 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,560 Lower, OK, yes. It's that's faring well. 191 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,160 So even though the humidity might be high, it's not it might 192 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,840 not feel as humid as it as as the numbers are saying. 193 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:35,480 Exactly. Oh, he got it. 194 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:36,520 He got it. Great job. 195 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:37,520 It was great. Thank you. 196 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,320 We do have some winds though. And, and as we know, what's this 197 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,440 city called? Chicago. 198 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:50,880 Yeah, very, very good. Very good comedic timing. 199 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,840 He's not wrong on that. Yeah, he's not wrong. 200 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:02,400 You're so. Great, you love those tall 201 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,200 buildings, Karen. 'S looking for the Windy City 202 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,160 and he's like Chicago. He's like are you serious 203 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:08,280 Chicago? Obviously we've talked about 204 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,880 non-stop. It's. 205 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:15,200 So it's going to be windy. I'm clocking around 10 mph. 206 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:19,000 So nothing OK. Jay Holder said 4 mph did he? 207 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,960 Say 4, OK, maybe there's I've seen a range I've seen like 208 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,960 average maybe around 9 and so like I've seen up to 15, but 209 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,800 that was a few days ago. It's it's it's around maybe say 210 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,040 10 at, you know, let's be pessimistic here. 211 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:37,160 It's it's going to be wide open with those skyscrapers with like 212 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:38,840 a wind tunnel. I would say that's what happens 213 00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,680 when I've run, like when I've run the finish and the start, 214 00:10:41,680 --> 00:10:44,600 you're in those skyscrapers that you like the wind can get a 215 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,680 little trapped. So that's like my one fear the 216 00:10:47,680 --> 00:10:51,720 open spaces. You know, to me, it's like these 217 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:53,720 runners are used to wind. They're they're they're at 218 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:55,400 altitude, they're at heat, they're at wind. 219 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,840 I don't foresee that. Like this isn't 10 mph isn't 220 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:00,600 enough. So I don't think stop anything. 221 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,640 Yeah, big from happening. So, I mean, All in all, the 222 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:05,720 weather's not too it. It's pretty good. 223 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:07,840 I mean, it's a little bit. It's a little warm. 224 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:11,120 It's a little warm, yeah. Little humid dew point. 225 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:14,280 Could you wouldn't you wouldn't hate to see a lower dew point. 226 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:19,960 You wouldn't hate it, No. But All in all, it's not it's 227 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,640 not so bad. And these these are all very 228 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:27,480 experienced athletes for the most part who have run very well 229 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,320 in in tougher conditions. Absolutely. 230 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,120 I mean, it's Berlin was what, like 70? 231 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,600 And Sebastian Sawway ran like 203. 232 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,840 So yeah, these guys can handle like high 50s. 233 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,240 Yeah, yeah. And it's like this is something 234 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,880 they've been been preparing for. This is just part of it. 235 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:47,320 It's it's you can't be expecting perfect conditions every time. 236 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,240 And you prepare for the worst and hope or yeah, prepare for 237 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:51,800 the worst, hope for the best. But yeah. 238 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:53,880 And you? Know we're going to obviously 239 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:57,280 eventually launch into the the elite preview, but there's going 240 00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,160 to be a lot of people in that chase pack. 241 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,920 I think you can block the wind if it if it gets a little nasty 242 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,040 out there, you're going to be able to tuck in. 243 00:12:04,680 --> 00:12:06,560 You won't be able to hide from the sun. 244 00:12:06,560 --> 00:12:10,880 But I think I think we got some world record American record 245 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:15,080 attempts that might go down. We're going to go launch into a 246 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:16,960 course preview here. I'm going to give you guys a 247 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,040 little play by play as the expert. 248 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:25,920 We start here in Grant Park on the north side, which is near 249 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:29,280 the loop, if you're familiar. You go down LaSalle St. 250 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,440 Columbus Drive in Monroe is exactly where you're going to 251 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,760 start. That's where those skyscrapers 252 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,760 are. OK, the noise of the crowd, I 253 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:39,760 mean, it's just bustling. It's electric. 254 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:43,760 Your GPS likely won't work. So just know that you're going 255 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,960 to pass iconic landmarks like the Chicago Theater around mile 256 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:48,960 2-3. Then you're headed north. 257 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,280 You're going through Old Town Lincoln Park. 258 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,880 Once you get out of the Loop, it really opens up with like tree 259 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:56,320 line. You're going to get some shade 260 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,880 and then you turn around right to come down past Boys Town, my 261 00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:04,000 favorite part of the course. You get halfway and this stretch 262 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,760 is like a great spot, I think to check in on like pace. 263 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:10,720 And now you're going to head W to Greektown, Little Italy. 264 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,080 That's the past the halfway mark. 265 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:14,720 It's the loudest part of the course. 266 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,080 You're going through SW neighborhoods that are just full 267 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:18,640 of character. You've got Pilsen, you've got 268 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,800 the murals, iconic arch of Chinatown. 269 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,640 Now you're going to head South towards Bronzeville and South 270 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,000 Michigan. That's when you like turn north 271 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:31,400 right at 23 and you're going to head straight past Guaranteed 272 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:32,880 Rate. You're going to go towards the 273 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,880 skyline, make your way home, and then you finish down Columbus 274 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:39,920 Rd. up Mount Roosevelt, which is the little hill at the end. 275 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:41,680 It's only 300 meters. Fear not. 276 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,000 I thought it was 800 because it scarred me. 277 00:13:44,680 --> 00:13:46,560 We debunked that. It's only 300. 278 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:52,000 Nice job Karen nailed that. Karen, as a four time Chicago 279 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,960 veteran, what's your favorite part of the course? 280 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,560 OK. So I've only lived in the north 281 00:13:57,560 --> 00:14:00,840 neighborhoods, so that's going to be like Old Town, Lincoln 282 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,880 Park, Lakeview. That's my favorite part because 283 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:07,800 it's so easy to spectate. You go up and down basically 284 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,560 like a block apart. So for me, it's like that's 285 00:14:10,560 --> 00:14:12,440 where a lot of my friends are. That's where a lot of my family 286 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:13,960 goes. You can like between, I think 287 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,840 it's mile 4:00 and 12:00. It's like 1 block apart and you 288 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,440 can just go to one side, go to the other. 289 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:23,760 You can see multiple people. Boys Town is like at the Tip Top 290 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,600 near Addison where you turn to come S again, like mile 8:00. 291 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,960 They have a drag show. They come out on the state. 292 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,680 It's like it's big up there. It's a lot of fun. 293 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:37,000 The energy's hype, I would say the first half is kind of like 294 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:38,720 my full favorite. That's what I would say. 295 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,400 What are the hard I mean, this is a fast course, right? 296 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,560 People are this is a world record setting course. 297 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,240 People are here to run fast. But what are the tough parts? 298 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,920 What are the areas that if you were giving advice to somebody 299 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,160 to really you mentally prepare for? 300 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,680 Yeah, OK. What I love about this is it's 301 00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:57,640 the hype. Like, it's everything you want 302 00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:59,880 for a fast course. Like, it starts electric. 303 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,520 And if you're like a seasoned marathon out that, you know, 304 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:04,720 you're not going to get swept up in that this isn't your first 305 00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:06,960 rodeo. It cannot bode well for people 306 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,440 whose like, first marathon. This is even some of the pros 307 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:12,640 making their debut. It is so easy, especially if 308 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:17,000 your GPS watch isn't working in the loop, to just like not know 309 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,200 your pace, not know where you're at and just get swept up. 310 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:24,760 I think the hardest part of the course is 22 to 25, like kind of 311 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:26,560 where it's already going to be hard mentally. 312 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:31,120 You're going past the Dan Ryan Expressway and like the crowds 313 00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,320 thin out and it's like you're kind of alone with your 314 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,800 thoughts. If it's sunny, it's so hot, it's 315 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,680 later in the day, EU VS like rising. 316 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:44,800 And then I think it's kind of like paired well though, like 317 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,560 with an immediate turn towards the skyline at 23. 318 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:50,680 And then you just, it's like literally you, you make eyes 319 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:52,960 with that Willis Tower and you just send your way home. 320 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:58,000 That would that'd be all the motivation while we're on the 321 00:15:58,000 --> 00:15:59,560 course. There were some, there's some 322 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:01,960 fun facts in the media guide they sent me. 323 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:06,800 And so it's like about what is at the aid stations. 324 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:11,160 So we're going to play a fun game where you guys guess how 325 00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:16,240 many gallons of water do you guys think are at across the aid 326 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,840 stations in the for 55,000 runners? 327 00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:21,680 For 55,000 runners across the all of the aid stations. 328 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:23,040 There's twenty of them, I believe there's. 329 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,320 Twenty aid stations? How many gallons? 330 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:27,400 This is just water. Oh, just water. 331 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:28,920 Gatorade is a different statistic. 332 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,360 Let's see, I'm. Like, I don't know, gallons, 333 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:35,360 Yeah. Can you give us a? 334 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:40,080 A multiple 7000 gallons. Give us like a multiple choice 335 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:41,160 and we're not. OK. 336 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:46,040 So we'll say 7000, we'll say 50,000. 337 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:52,360 OK, 75,000. OK, OK, so we'll go, We'll go. 338 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:57,800 We'll go over, under, over, under, 80,000 gallons of water. 339 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:03,120 Over. Over 110,000 gallons of water. 340 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:09,640 Wow, over under 45,000 gallons of Gatorade endurance formula. 341 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,720 Well, now I'm using the old one over. 342 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:18,760 Under 4041 thousand gallons Over under. 343 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:25,079 Over under 2 million cups.

Way over. 353 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:53,080 So that was. Yeah. 354 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:58,240 Finally, bananas over under 11,000. 355 00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:02,040 Over. Over 12,000 Geez. 356 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:03,720 You got us. It's a lot of bananas. 357 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:05,160 It's a lot of bananas. I do want to. 358 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:10,160 Call out there will be Morton fuel stations at 12:15 and 18 359 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:14,880 for anyone running just like no. 1215 and 18, yeah, they start, 360 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,440 they start, they start you late. Yeah, yeah. 361 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:20,320 Yeah, it's late. And there's A and there's and 362 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,760 they're only doing at 12/13/18. There's there's like and there's 363 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:26,720 like 100,000 of them so. There's like, like a lot 364 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:30,280 there's. 3030 thousand gels at 3 stations. 365 00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:32,000 That's good math. Yeah, that's good math. 366 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:37,320 Wow, the 55 thousandth runner is going to be completely screwed. 367 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:44,360 They're like, where's my gels? The bastard took 100 gels at 368 00:18:44,360 --> 00:18:46,640 each station. Like there should be a couple 369 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:49,400 thousand left. It is quite a bit. 370 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,680 That's quite a bit. Just like it shows you the 371 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:55,000 production level it takes to pull off a marathon. 372 00:18:55,240 --> 00:19:00,240 The amount of the amount of work that goes into these races, it 373 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:05,760 really is pretty mind blowing. And who's ever this this, the 374 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:09,040 city of Chicago has their hands full cleaning up 2.4 million 375 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:10,480 cups tomorrow. It is a lot. 376 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:14,000 I as a high schooler came out and volunteered when I was like 377 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,680 14. And a lot of those, I think 378 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:18,480 schools and big productions, they volunteer right at the 379 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:22,240 beginning during like the in the loop, during those city 380 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:23,800 stretches. And it was like my first 381 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,920 experience ever, ever seen that. And just the production of it, 382 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,880 it, it really is outrageous just how the city kind of all comes 383 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:34,600 out and and shuts down for that. I do want to say some of the 384 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:38,240 best spectator zones are going to be Boys Town, Mile 8, 385 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:42,560 Greektown 14, Pilsen 19, and then Chinatown 21. 386 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:44,640 I think those are where you're we're going to see all that 387 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:46,880 energy and. And the happy camper and. 388 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:49,960 Oh, and absolutely Happy Camper. That's if you want to kind of 389 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:52,920 chase around and see your runner, but you're going to end 390 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:56,720 up at Happy Camper afterwards. Once you catch, what mile marker 391 00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:58,080 are we at? Are we at around 8:00? 392 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:00,680 I think it's let's check. Let's check the map. 393 00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:05,360 We're right on Wells St. and we're going to be coming down 394 00:20:05,360 --> 00:20:07,000 this way. We're going to be at a Morton 395 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:08,640 fuel station. No way. 396 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,080 Gel. Up. 397 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:12,920 We're going to gel on up. No, we're going to be kind of 398 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:16,960 right between 11 and 13. So it's like right when they're 399 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,960 coming down, you know, they've they've gone to the drag show, 400 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:22,880 they're coming back down and they're launching out West now 401 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:24,800 past the halfway, OK. Yeah. 402 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:26,840 So we're going to be find us at the halfway mark. 403 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:31,960 Yes, we'll be here, fueled up, ready to go, right, firing off. 404 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:36,360 Here pizza we're gonna we don't have deep dish here, but we've 405 00:20:36,360 --> 00:20:39,800 got some some favorites this. Is 7:30 AM when the gun goes 406 00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:43,800 off, I'll be We'll be a few pizzas deep, beers flowing, 407 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:46,960 ready to talk. It's gonna be a block. 408 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,120 You pizza deep. Okay, Paul, you were at the 409 00:20:49,120 --> 00:20:52,400 press conference, though. I wanna know general vibes. 410 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:54,280 I wanna know anything that stood out to you. 411 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:57,000 I mean, you were there with the elites and you got to see the 412 00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:58,280 inside scoop. Yeah. 413 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:02,200 I mean, the general vibes is I feel like it's kind of a joke 414 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:05,120 that I feel like I've heard Chris make about like marathon 415 00:21:05,120 --> 00:21:08,720 press conferences is just everyone is like I'm in the best 416 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:10,600 shape of my life. This is the best build I've ever 417 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,400 had. So it's a matter of like, whose 418 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:20,080 word do you trust the most? But I mean, John Courier very 419 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:22,160 clear. He's going for sub two O 1. 420 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:27,600 Trustworthy. You know, Jacob Kaplimo is, you 421 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:29,840 can assume he's going to be chasing with John Courier. 422 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:34,960 Conor Mance and Rory Linkletter have been very vocal about their 423 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,160 battle for the Canadian and American records are two seconds 424 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:41,440 apart. So basically, assuming they can 425 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,440 both get under those, which is their goal, whoever wins between 426 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,520 them is going to have the North American record. 427 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,880 I love how Rory Linkletter has just been like, look, I'm sick 428 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:53,200 of the American Record talk. We got us. 429 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,680 It's the we. He's just trying to change it 430 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,920 and doing a good job to North American Record. 431 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:04,200 And yeah, one more thing I will say about Rory is yesterday he 432 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:10,000 was wearing Canadian tuxedo full denim with the most luxurious 433 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,240 mullet anyone's ever seen. Was a good look. 434 00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:14,200 I saw him, saw the pictures. Fantastic. 435 00:22:14,360 --> 00:22:17,880 He's winning the style. I mean, he's kind of killing 436 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:21,480 Connor in that field, right? No offense to Connor, but I 437 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,280 mean, yeah. So the men's is it's record 438 00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:26,480 chases and then the women's is just, you know, we'll get into a 439 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:30,240 little bit, but obviously a three time champion isn't here. 440 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,240 So it's wide, wide open. Yeah. 441 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,800 Let's talk about that. So women's just kind of overall 442 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:40,680 elite field here. It's looking, it's looking wide 443 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,600 open, like. Yeah, the I think the Chicago 444 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:48,000 race organizers didn't expect Ruth Chapman Geddicks to get 445 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:51,440 popped for read. It when that happened. 446 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:55,600 So because you look at here and you go they're missing like a 447 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:59,120 big they're missing like a few big names and they go well, 448 00:22:59,120 --> 00:23:03,040 yeah, the world record holder we're excited to see tested 449 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:07,600 positive and that is that's why everything is wide open. 450 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:13,280 But this is one of those races where, I mean, it's it's it is, 451 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:20,640 yes, Aleimu is is the comes in with the fastest time favorite 452 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:24,920 on paper, but it's open. It's it's it's up for grabs. 453 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,320 Yeah, right. I will say quickly, for the 454 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:30,680 purposes of this graphic, Irene Chapdai has scratched. 455 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,640 Yeah. So she's she's not in the race. 456 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,920 But it's there's a lot of really good women. 457 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:38,800 Like you said, there's not necessarily like a true 458 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:42,360 superstar, right. But I think the openness just 459 00:23:42,360 --> 00:23:44,520 builds the intrigue for this race. 460 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:45,720 Yeah. And it's Chicago. 461 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,000 You know, it's it's going to be solid conditions. 462 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,600 We're going to have a fast time. There's really fast women in the 463 00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:55,320 field and I think even if we don't see a two O 9, I think 464 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,200 it's still AB. It's still going to be a really 465 00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:01,440 fun race to watch now. Is did, has somebody come out 466 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:03,800 and said I will, this is what the pace is going to be, this is 467 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:05,880 what I want to run or is it a bit more? 468 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:13,600 Or anything yesterday because I, Elay MU and edge guy who tie A 469 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,600 and then Mary and Gucci Cooper were the three women in the 470 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:21,920 press conference and Elenu and Taiye don't speak English and 471 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,520 we're speaking through a translator and they were just 472 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:28,160 nothing specific. The only kind of specific note, 473 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,520 I guess has to do with the American women, which we'll get 474 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:33,760 to in a second. But for the lead pack up front, 475 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:37,600 I haven't heard any specifics about what they'll be chasing 476 00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:39,560 kind. Of well, and I think something 477 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,800 to mention too that's noteworthy is it's, I mean, we could be 478 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:44,360 looking at an Ethiopian sweep, right? 479 00:24:44,360 --> 00:24:48,240 Like the top four up there are just, I think women that are 480 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:51,760 going to be working together and maybe trying to fight to be the 481 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,120 top Ethiopian. And and that's not even 482 00:24:54,120 --> 00:24:58,040 including Taye, who's a world bronze medalist in the 10K 483 00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:02,920 debuting in this. But Taye's fresh off of Tokyo, 484 00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:04,640 right? Yeah. 485 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,960 That's a fresh off of 5th place in the 10K in Tokyo. 486 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:14,080 That is quite a season. So you got to, you got to wonder 487 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:18,080 where like what condition she's coming in, coming in how? 488 00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,600 How Stefan Hassan like can she be? 489 00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:22,120 Yes, right, right. If this. 490 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:24,880 That's a great, great point, Paul, because if it was Stefan 491 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:26,960 Hassan, you beg. Yeah, he's fine. 492 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:31,080 Still the favorite, right. But nobody really else is kind 493 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:37,360 of like Stefan Hassan. So this is a big debut and it's, 494 00:25:37,360 --> 00:25:39,960 it's exciting. I, I, I, I wouldn't necessarily 495 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:43,960 have her as a favorite just off of the season. 496 00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,640 It's such a long year. Tokyo was pretty, pretty hard 497 00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:48,600 for everybody. True. 498 00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:52,160 And I would imagine this is going to be a really tough race. 499 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,960 For Taiye, though, what I do love about her is she's got that 500 00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:58,680 65 minute half speed. And that's something that I 501 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:01,560 think on a Chicago course like this, I mean, you're going to 502 00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:03,320 hear this, you're going to hear this all weekend long. 503 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,680 It's flat, it's fast. It's like a a track on the 504 00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:09,800 roads. It's, it could bode well for 505 00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:14,200 someone of that type of speed. But it it would be, I think, a 506 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:16,160 wild card, I do think. There we go. 507 00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,240 I do think what's interesting this year is it's not like a 508 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:25,240 record chasing women's race this year like it has been what the 509 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:28,600 last like 3 or so years. So I think we're probably going 510 00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:31,560 to see a bigger pack upfront compared to the last couple 511 00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:35,160 years, which I mean, as a spectator, if you're as a fan, 512 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:36,880 if you're not going to get a record setting performance, you 513 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:38,840 want to see a big pack upfront in just a good race. 514 00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:43,560 So yeah, I think that like we're looking at probably a new major 515 00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:44,720 winner here. Someone's going to get their 516 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:46,160 first major win. It's going to be pretty cool. 517 00:26:46,360 --> 00:26:48,600 That's a good point. And that and that could if it's 518 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:52,040 slow and packed up, that could bode well for someone like Tyee 519 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:56,280 who it's like, look, I'm coming out debut long season. 520 00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:58,480 Let's make it as make it as slow as you guys want. 521 00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:01,680 It's it's better, better for me. So that could bode well for her 522 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:06,600 if if it's not just strung out hammering from the start like it 523 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:08,160 like it probably will be on the men's side. 524 00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,440 Yeah, And I mean, to Max point, like, yeah, it's fun to have 525 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:14,360 like some women who have run like sub 215 in here or 526 00:27:14,360 --> 00:27:16,480 whatever. But if you only have one of 527 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:18,880 them, like if you're not in a situation where you have like 528 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:22,280 like the Olympic battle last year between like Stephane 529 00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:25,480 Antiques de Safa or Stephane versus Ruth Chapman, get it here 530 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,880 in 2023. That is a race that can get kind 531 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,520 of boring if it's just one person blowing the field away. 532 00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:35,120 Like this is I think nobody in this field has ever won a major. 533 00:27:35,360 --> 00:27:40,040 So regardless, we're going to have a first major winner and 534 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:43,360 yeah, it's just like Max said, the the lead pack is probably 535 00:27:43,360 --> 00:27:45,640 going to be pretty significant throughout most of the race and 536 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,360 it's it's going to be anyone's game probably up until those 537 00:27:48,360 --> 00:27:51,720 last couple miles. Predictions of who we think 538 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:55,200 takes the title. We're going to do that at the 539 00:27:55,240 --> 00:28:00,880 end, is what I meant to say. Awesome. 540 00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:04,840 I think next, I mean, let's on on brand with that launch into 541 00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:08,480 the elite men. This one, this is it's a it's a 542 00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:11,720 more exciting story, right? We've got a world record on the 543 00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:14,800 line here. Career versus Kiplimo. 544 00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:18,920 That's been the match up here. Both of them said they're 545 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,360 chasing the world record. I believe they want to go out in 546 00:28:21,360 --> 00:28:25,520 6030, which is what 18 think of what they said. 547 00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:29,240 It was 18 seconds slower than Calvin Kipdom when when he went 548 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:31,800 after it and, you know, it made the world record. 549 00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:37,080 I want to know, you know, we've got Korea, right, the Chicago 550 00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:39,120 experience, we've got the Boston win. 551 00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:42,880 And then to me, it's like Kip Limo brings that pure half 552 00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:45,360 marathon speed, right? He's a he's a 56 guy. 553 00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:48,520 He's got the world record. Who do you think? 554 00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:50,120 Like, how do you think that plays out? 555 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:54,360 Yeah, I mean, it's it's tough because like you said, Kip Limo, 556 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:58,800 world record holder in the half marathon, 45 seconds faster over 557 00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:00,760 that distance than anyone else in world history. 558 00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:02,840 Ridiculous. Yeah, ridiculous. 559 00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:07,440 And we saw his debut versus Sebastian Saway in London 560 00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:08,960 earlier this year. Yeah. 561 00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,440 And Saway won that one pretty comfortably. 562 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:16,280 But I think that one was kind of a matter of I, I think it's 563 00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:18,080 really interesting because I believe that one was a matter of 564 00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:23,120 Sawy made a big decisive move that Kip Limo didn't follow from 565 00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:25,720 John career. What we've seen is those big 566 00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,120 decisive moves in Chicago and Boston, right? 567 00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:30,800 And so now it's going to be a matter of if Kip Limo, with 568 00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:35,240 another marathon under his belt here for #2 if one career, we 569 00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:38,640 can assume he makes that move, how willing Kip Limo is to 570 00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,240 follow, which, for everything that has been kind of the 571 00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:44,760 discussion leading into this one, feels pretty likely. 572 00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:49,120 Yeah, I mean, career has just looked so good these last few 573 00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,800 marathons. I'm, you know, I'm thinking 574 00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:57,280 about Boston and the way he ran, he broke open the field and how 575 00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:59,680 relaxed and comfortable, easy he made it look. 576 00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:05,680 You can't overstate how ridiculous Kip Limos. 577 00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:10,040 Was it 5640? Yeah, Half marathon time is now 578 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:12,200 it. It genuinely is absurd. 579 00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:14,840 Those are times that you we start, you start talking about 580 00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:15,920 and they don't really make sense. 581 00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:20,040 Yeah. But that we're not running the 582 00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:23,680 half, we're running the full. And he, he doesn't have the 583 00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:26,920 pedigree that career does over the full. 584 00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:30,760 So yeah, I think that he absolutely will be there through 585 00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,560 the half and you could see him pushing the pace through the 586 00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:38,440 half. Yeah, but I, I just don't see 587 00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:40,440 him. Are you? 588 00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:43,800 I Look, I wouldn't be surprised if if Kaplimo takes it. 589 00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:48,360 I, I just don't think careers look so good, so strong. 590 00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:55,680 And Kaplimo is going to have to be on 100% bring his A game to 591 00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:57,440 try and break him. Right. 592 00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:59,040 It's the strength versus the speed. 593 00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:02,080 I feel like that's kind of the tale as old as time, but like 594 00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,800 looking at the halfway point, OK, say they go through 6030, 595 00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:07,680 looking at the start list here, who do we think's still there? 596 00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:10,480 Who do we think is chasing that? Cause like someone like a Connor 597 00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:12,600 manse, right? He's already said, look, I, I 598 00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:15,680 got my time. I'm too, I'm not going out like 599 00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:16,960 that. I, I know my race plan. 600 00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:20,080 He's big and I think a lot of these pros are big on like this 601 00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:22,360 is my plan. If, if, if you're there, great. 602 00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:24,720 Who's still with him? Who is anyone taking a chance? 603 00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:29,360 I don't know, 6030 is just, I mean, it's just so fast. 604 00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:32,880 I mean, it's a jog for Kaplimo. I mean like this is. 4 minutes 605 00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:35,320 slower than what I usually run for. 606 00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:38,040 I mean, I could definitely see some guys up there. 607 00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:45,960 Yeah, you know, Caputo, but I don't know, I mean, I'm it's 608 00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:49,840 even crazy to see that guys like I haven't we haven't even 609 00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:51,760 mentioned like guys like Kim War or at all. 610 00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:55,560 You know, this is just how deep the field is and how fast 611 00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:57,400 they're they're talking about running when you're talking 612 00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:59,880 about running world record pace and that they're having to go 613 00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:03,920 through in 6030 and they still be 18 seconds back then what 614 00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:07,320 Kelvin Kipton ran when when he set the record here. 615 00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:11,040 It's just it's it it just shows how the level that the the 616 00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:16,360 marathon is at. I don't know if these guys, if 617 00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:19,160 it's smart to go out at 6030, right? 618 00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:25,600 Because yeah, it's, it's kind of really for most of for basically 619 00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:31,720 everybody that's suicide pace. And so do I want to sacrifice my 620 00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:35,960 race just to to, to be in the lead pack? 621 00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:42,240 I mean, Connor Manse, which is the main storyline along with 622 00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:44,880 the world record is the Connor Manse, how fast he going to run? 623 00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,960 And he's a guy who does always get after it. 624 00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:52,560 And, and in nine out of 10 races or even more than that, he's up 625 00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:55,120 there in the in the lead pack. He doesn't like to let leaders 626 00:32:55,120 --> 00:33:00,960 go and he's not going to be up there with those guys. 627 00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:05,000 And I would assume that the majority of the field is going 628 00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:07,600 to be in a similar boat to him. Yeah, for sure. 629 00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:12,400 We've got 12345. Like how many of these guys 630 00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:17,560 under 204 two, like that's to me, someone in there is 631 00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:21,280 sacrificing a great race if the, you know, if they go out with 632 00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:24,720 that because they, they could PR And I think to me it's the 633 00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:27,680 difference between PR and blowing up if you're one of 634 00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:29,560 those top guys. And like you said, this course 635 00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:32,760 is fast and you can kind of get carried away, especially with 636 00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:36,640 all the energy, all the hype. You're feeling good and you're 637 00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:38,080 like, look, I'm just going to let it RIP. 638 00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:44,120 And, and maybe and maybe people do get carried away and, and go 639 00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:47,920 with with those those lead guys out at world record pace and pay 640 00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:50,840 for at the end. And maybe some go for it and and 641 00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:53,640 hang on strong and have the race of their lives. 642 00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:58,040 Well, I guess we'll find out tomorrow, but it does take some 643 00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:02,200 some serious. You got to really stick to your 644 00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:04,120 strategy. If if you're guys like Connor 645 00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:07,640 Manson would say I want to run this time and look at me one 646 00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:12,320 day, I hope to be doing the in that lead pack for for those 647 00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:14,239 times, but it might just not be this year. 648 00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:19,560 Absolutely. American women we have. 649 00:34:20,639 --> 00:34:22,880 It's wide open. I feel like we've got people. 650 00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:26,520 Willing to rise up, I think. And I think about the press 651 00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:29,960 conference, You know, you talk about a time I know for maybe 652 00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:33,120 the all the elites, there wasn't like a hard time people were 653 00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:35,360 admitting to. But I feel like for a lot of the 654 00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,880 American women I've, I've heard 220, I feel like that's almost 655 00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:40,560 the benchmark now. Yeah. 656 00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:43,600 So that was, I didn't get a chance to talk to Natasha Rogers 657 00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:49,400 yesterday, but I did talk to Dakota Propane and she said she 658 00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:53,159 was like we saw with Connor and Rory and John career. 659 00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:57,680 She goes, I want to go through half at 220 pace and then the 660 00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:01,040 second-half I want to see how far under 220 I can get. 661 00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:03,760 Wow. So I think the statistic we 662 00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:06,120 posted yesterday about that is she would become the 5th 663 00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:08,600 American woman to break 220 in her career. 664 00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:14,400 And for Dakota, like her PB OF2422440, which you're seeing 665 00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:19,000 on the screen right now, you know, that came from Chicago in 666 00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:22,720 2023 and we've seen the growth from her last year making the 667 00:35:22,720 --> 00:35:25,680 Olympic team. I think she was 11th or 12th in 668 00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:29,560 Paris, but she hasn't necessarily gotten into a super 669 00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:33,400 fast race since then. It was like Orlando for trials, 670 00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:38,160 Paris, NY, and then Boston this spring didn't go super well for 671 00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:42,560 her, but she's, you know, was hyping this up as the best build 672 00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:46,520 of her career and she said. During we trust her. 673 00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:51,520 I trust Dakota, she said. During training she ran a PB and 674 00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:55,800 a 5K. She ran I think 1513 I think is 675 00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:56,680 what she said. Wow. 676 00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:58,000 In training. Yeah. 677 00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:02,160 That's really impressive. She ran a 10K or A10 mile PB 2 678 00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:05,400 so she's. Collecting at the press 679 00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:06,280 conference. Yeah. 680 00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:09,800 Yeah, I mean, I've seen when we posted that clip of her 681 00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:13,040 yesterday, I saw people like replying on Twitter and in the 682 00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:18,240 Sidious DMS like her Strava has been really, really impressive 683 00:36:18,240 --> 00:36:21,680 this builds like it's reflecting how good this build has been for 684 00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:24,120 her. So I have full faith in Dakota 685 00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:25,800 I. Really like that I like when 686 00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:30,360 because so often yes, the the athletes will say best bill of 687 00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:32,480 their lives, but they're kind of being a bit coy, right? 688 00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:33,960 They don't want to give too much away. 689 00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:40,640 It's for someone like Dakota, whose PR is 224, to say it's, I 690 00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:44,680 want to see how much under 220 I can go. 691 00:36:44,720 --> 00:36:46,560 Yeah, it's really calling your shot. 692 00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:49,800 She's looking at shaving at least like 5 seconds or 5 693 00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:50,680 minutes off her. Pee. 694 00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:52,280 That's a That's a lot of shaving. 695 00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:53,680 A lot. Let's go. 696 00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:57,320 Yeah, get to shaving to. Shaving that's which is really 697 00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:00,920 cool because it's, it's just something that you don't see too 698 00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:04,040 often, right? And I I really like it so. 699 00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:07,000 To me, she's someone that also like, look, she's a, she's a 700 00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:09,680 Paris Olympian. That's a soft time. 701 00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:12,880 Her PR, like she's, she's ready to pop off. 702 00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:15,560 I think there's got to be that in the back of her mind. 703 00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:17,200 Like, look, I'm, I'm lining up here. 704 00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:21,320 I'm an Olympian and I'm going to, I'm going to punch that PR 705 00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:24,840 ticket and I'm going to beat people, you know, the likes of 706 00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:28,320 like Natasha Rogers, who's coming in with the fastest time 707 00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:31,080 here. Second fastest? 708 00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:32,920 You're right, Lizzie. Flanagan. 709 00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:34,560 Oh, Lizzie. Flanagan dropped. 710 00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:38,960 So. Lindsay is doing Valencia now I 711 00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:40,160 think. Oh, Lindsay's out. 712 00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:41,040 Oh, OK. She's out. 713 00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:43,880 So it's Natasha and I think for someone like her, I mean, she's 714 00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:46,720 like she's just a running veteran, right? 715 00:37:46,720 --> 00:37:52,520 We've seen her at the trials previously not have the race of 716 00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:55,320 that she wanted. And I I think she's really got a 717 00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:57,440 chip on her shoulder, kind of something to prove. 718 00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:01,080 She's popped off in Nagoya with a 223. 719 00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:05,960 She's to me like gonna be. She's not been on the radar, is 720 00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:07,760 what I should say. And I think she's the dark horse 721 00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:09,720 a little bit, you know, she's. Coming in and she ran a really 722 00:38:09,720 --> 00:38:13,600 fast half, right? She ran, was it 68 recently? 723 00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:18,240 It seems like Natasha's coming in. 6842 and 68. 42. 724 00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:21,400 September 14th. So it's like coming in with a 725 00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:26,120 bit of momentum, which always bodes well, right for, for Mace, 726 00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:29,080 for your, your race mindset. Totally. 727 00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:33,840 So I, I, I do think the top American, I think with the two 728 00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:37,680 favorites would be propane and Natasha Rogers. 729 00:38:37,720 --> 00:38:41,000 Yeah. And but again, this is kind of a 730 00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:46,600 big, big opportunity for these women to to really take a big 731 00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:50,720 step forward and and really make a name for themselves as one of 732 00:38:50,720 --> 00:38:52,920 like the big American marathon stars. 733 00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:55,480 Well, I think someone that's going to sneak in there, which I 734 00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:58,000 know we got the Dakota propane, like that's the name. 735 00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:01,320 But guys, Gabby Rooker is also coming in with a faster time. 736 00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:06,800 She's run the last two Chicago's I believe and like so consistent 737 00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:10,080 it just like she's experienced here. 738 00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:12,720 And so I think that puts her on the map. 739 00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:16,360 We haven't heard much from her. And I think she's the kind of 740 00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:19,960 person that's going to like come in with that race experience and 741 00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:23,880 latch on to a Dakota and and see what, you know, she kind of has 742 00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:26,400 in the last bit. Other people, we've got McKenna 743 00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:28,720 Miller. She's coming off an impressive 744 00:39:28,720 --> 00:39:32,440 New Haven 20K. She turned heads at the 2024 745 00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:36,920 Olympics or trials, excuse me. And that was like months after 746 00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:40,800 giving birth kind of her in like a more personal setting. 747 00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:44,560 She's said she's gotten over long COVID and she's just hasn't 748 00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:48,080 even raced since the trials. She's someone I'm super excited 749 00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:49,960 about. Super long COVID. 750 00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:53,560 Super long COVID. She's still in the first 751 00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:55,040 Strange. Yeah, it's extra long COVID. 752 00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:56,840 Yeah. No, that's it's bad to me. 753 00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:59,480 She's like the the dog on the leash that's like ready to get 754 00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:01,640 out. Hasn't raced since the trials. 755 00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:03,800 I mean, I feel like we've seen that a lot with some athletes 756 00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:05,880 here. It's just like people ready to 757 00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:06,920 get out. You know, she's made the 758 00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:09,960 transition. She now she was with Ryan Hall. 759 00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:12,280 Now she moved to Utah. It's like you go to Utah, I feel 760 00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:14,400 like you start like you start popping off. 761 00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:17,000 People are loving the training. Is she with the She's with the 762 00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:18,640 Ice stone. She's with that ice stone that. 763 00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:19,200 Group. Has. 764 00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:20,760 I mean that says a lot right there. 765 00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:22,600 That group has. That's the group. 766 00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:24,920 In the in the men's race, it's Connor. 767 00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:29,520 Then there's three like freshly graduated BYU guys that are 768 00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:33,720 debuting, and then they have McKenna, Emily Venters, Aubrey 769 00:40:33,720 --> 00:40:37,000 Friend, the way Ed's on the broadcast. 770 00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:39,440 With Clayton. Kira and Clayton are both on the 771 00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:41,840 broadcast. It's like we go to Utah. 772 00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:44,560 Their entire team is here. If we don't go, they'll push us 773 00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:47,320 right out because they'll take a look. 774 00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:52,280 This will replace us real quick for the couple freshly graduated 775 00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:54,880 BYU athletes if we don't get our shit together. 776 00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:58,680 So. But this is like what Ed ISON 777 00:40:58,680 --> 00:40:59,960 has really built. Yeah. 778 00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:04,600 In in in Utah with his marathon group. 779 00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:06,400 Obviously they crushed on the track. 780 00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:09,840 Yeah. But man, like when you've got 781 00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:14,120 athletes like Connor, like Clayton, like Kira, people just 782 00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:17,640 want to be around that. There's clearly something 783 00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:21,200 working there and they go, look, I want to that's I want to see 784 00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:23,600 what they're doing differently compared to everybody else. 785 00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:28,360 And we've said it before, success is the best recruiting 786 00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:32,040 tool that that anybody can have. And what they've got is 787 00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:36,760 something great. And if, if Connor runs well, 788 00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:39,600 it's just going to be, it's going to draw even more, more 789 00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:40,760 people over there. For sure. 790 00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:44,040 Yeah, For one last note on Ed yesterday at the press 791 00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:47,480 conference, I kind of forgot that Ed was on the broadcast. 792 00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:52,320 And so like, I look over and the interview set up after the press 793 00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:54,560 conference is funny because they're all sitting at tables, 794 00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:56,800 so we have to like kneel to interview them. 795 00:41:57,240 --> 00:42:01,320 It's like, hello Connor, please let me talk to you, but I look 796 00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:03,400 over. I. 797 00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:08,360 I look over and Ed Ice Stone is like leaning over and like 798 00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:10,680 talking through a translator with like a couple of the 799 00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:14,080 Ethiopian athletes and I'm like, is he just like getting Intel 800 00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:15,920 for Connor? Like, what is he doing? 801 00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:17,840 And then I'm like, oh, wait, he's broadcasting. 802 00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:20,280 That's right. He was doing good, thorough 803 00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:22,760 research. Oh, I love that one shout out I 804 00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:26,120 want to give to is to was just recently on the getting checked 805 00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:31,840 podcast Aubrey front the way Nielsen she as we were talking 806 00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:34,080 about before, this is her second Chicago. 807 00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:38,520 She ran 235 last year and talking with her on the pod. 808 00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:40,840 I mean, if you listen to it, you'll hear she didn't, she 809 00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:46,680 didn't have proper nutrition. She ran at Grandma's 227 with 810 00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:49,520 some proper nutrition. Put that on a Chicago fast 811 00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:52,480 course. I am so excited to see what 812 00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:55,880 she's going to do here tomorrow. She's as we know BYU stand out 813 00:42:55,960 --> 00:43:00,240 like 4 time all American. She has said that McKenna Myler 814 00:43:00,240 --> 00:43:01,760 has been like a big sister to her. 815 00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:04,280 I think on that with the Ed Eyestone group. 816 00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:07,320 And I think that just is, again, in a testament to what's going 817 00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:09,680 to happen when you get with the right people in a supportive 818 00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:11,960 group. To me, she's someone that I 819 00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:14,440 mean, just to look out for. She's like, watch track her. 820 00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:18,080 We've we've got to get if, if we're going to be near 1 of the 821 00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:20,960 Martin stations. Yeah, we need to get some gels 822 00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:25,640 to just like throw Aubrey and be like, you need to take these 823 00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:27,600 this time. Yeah, there's no, there's I 824 00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:29,640 would have, there's 30. 1000 of that. 825 00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:32,880 Here we can get her some getting pelted with a gel in the middle 826 00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:35,080 of a marathon, right? We're helping you. 827 00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:38,120 For those of you who who who haven't listened yet on the pod, 828 00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:42,640 she said in Chicago last year she had one gel at Halfway and 829 00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:45,680 that was it. I mean, OK, there's, there's 830 00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:48,960 under fueling and then there's having one gel and. 831 00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:50,720 Then there's having one gel. Yeah. 832 00:43:51,720 --> 00:43:55,080 Oh God, amazing. So what, Why, why did she have 833 00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:58,960 one gel? It was as someone may know, as 834 00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:02,760 as an experienced marathoner, they're not exactly like, 835 00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:06,200 tasteful. No, you're not doing it for the 836 00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:11,720 Michelin star experience. What is not a taste thing? 837 00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:14,600 No, it's not. Does pequods make some gels? 838 00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:17,680 She's like God, she's like, this isn't hitting my palette like I 839 00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:20,560 wanted. I will do no more of these. 840 00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:24,520 No, like, as a runner, I mean, you should get, you're 841 00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:26,920 accustomed to doing things you don't want to do. 842 00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:32,200 I would think you want to get up at 5:00 AM And yeah, you make 843 00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:33,760 sacrifice. So I'm thinking it's her first 844 00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:35,800 marathon. She's so young, she's adorable. 845 00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:38,280 She's the cutest. I think in a way that's like 846 00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:40,240 part of her story. Like, I think she's just going 847 00:44:40,240 --> 00:44:42,640 to come out here and get 2 gels in her. 848 00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:43,880 This girl's got a couple minutes. 849 00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:45,320 Double the amount of gels, You never know. 850 00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:47,360 Double the amount of gels. No, it's, it's, it's something 851 00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:51,440 that fueling is, is like a whole different aspect of marathon 852 00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:53,520 training huge. And it's like it, it can be 853 00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:56,400 tough, especially people who come from the track and they're 854 00:44:56,400 --> 00:45:00,760 like, oh, like learning how to fuel mid run at the pace, at 855 00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:06,080 race pace, getting just the volume of of liquids and food 856 00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:09,240 down is really tough. And it's something that's hard 857 00:45:09,240 --> 00:45:11,400 in the stomach. It's hard to, you have to really 858 00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:15,720 train properly and do it. So I can imagine if you're in 859 00:45:15,720 --> 00:45:18,800 some, if you haven't really trained, yeah, with the the 860 00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:22,440 fueling aspect coming out and putting down gels every couple 861 00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:24,440 miles is something that is tough to do. 862 00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:27,080 And it's something like it's kind of like dehydration. 863 00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:31,040 Once you're once you're in debt, you can't dig yourself out. 864 00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:33,560 It's kind of one of those things like you're, you know, it's it's 865 00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:36,160 some cost, it's gone. You got to finish your way. 866 00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:43,160 But moving on to like the most exciting talked about person, 867 00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:45,880 it's it's got to be Conor Manse. I mean, he has he was very 868 00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:47,880 vocal. I mean, he forewent foregone, 869 00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:50,800 whatever the word is, the World Championships basically to come 870 00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:52,880 out here and chase this American record. 871 00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:56,200 And for those of you who don't know, he did run Boston also 872 00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:57,600 started. There's a ton of flies going on. 873 00:45:57,640 --> 00:45:59,480 It is a pizza shop. We got some flies. 874 00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:02,960 It's authentic. He came off Boston, where he 875 00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:06,640 feels. Like it's a pizza place. 876 00:46:07,240 --> 00:46:10,680 Does that mean flies? Is this up to code? 877 00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:13,640 No, it isn't. But he, he just. 878 00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:15,840 A swarm of flies around your head. 879 00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:18,280 OK, I do have picking up on this. 880 00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:22,200 I do have a Chicago question, OK, But notice there's lots of 881 00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:25,360 like bees that just fly around bee season, baby. 882 00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:27,480 It's like that's a thing. It's bee season. 883 00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:30,000 There'll be bee traps outside. Don't worry guys, We'll have 884 00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:32,240 that on the patio. There's that's like a classic. 885 00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:35,200 Yeah, there's it's bee season here, OK, For sure, for sure. 886 00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:37,200 Really took me off guard yesterday. 887 00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:39,720 Have you ever been stung? Not here. 888 00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:42,400 I have in my life. Yeah. 889 00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:44,200 Yeah. I just mean like I don't, I 890 00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:45,840 wouldn't want to have a reaction if you I would. 891 00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:49,920 Never win somebody in Chicago, though, during bee season. 892 00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:52,840 Yeah, Oh my God, on the top of this big building. 893 00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:55,200 You'll love it. I'm gonna watch out. 894 00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:58,680 But yeah, it's it's it's it's fly heavy in here to say the 895 00:46:58,680 --> 00:47:02,000 least. But yeah, Conor man's this the. 896 00:47:02,240 --> 00:47:05,680 Is this? Storyline it is, yeah. 897 00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:07,560 It's for that guy. This is going to. 898 00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:11,880 This is getting a lot more hype than the world record hype it 899 00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:14,720 really. Is but what I can I say too for 900 00:47:14,720 --> 00:47:18,080 people who don't know OK, I'm going to admit I saw obviously 901 00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:20,080 he ranch in Boston. I was in that race. 902 00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:24,600 You know, maybe was it me? No, but he did run 205, 08, 903 00:47:24,600 --> 00:47:27,320 which you might say, oh, that's faster than this American record 904 00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:29,960 that I'm seeing. And that's not an eligible 905 00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:31,760 course. So that's just something of 906 00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:34,000 note. But I think the point is he's 907 00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:37,480 done it on a course that has arguably like, well, it does 908 00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:40,360 have more elevation, but it's like the terrain, it's harder. 909 00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:43,400 You've got more elements. To me, Conor Mance, it's like 910 00:47:43,760 --> 00:47:45,520 he's done it like what? What else? 911 00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:47,720 You know, I don't know if you could get a more confidence 912 00:47:47,720 --> 00:47:49,520 boost than that. Someone like him. 913 00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:53,880 Yeah, this is gonna be he has run the time before. 914 00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:55,840 Yes, he's on Boston net downhill. 915 00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:59,080 So it doesn't it doesn't count as the official American record. 916 00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:03,800 But he's he's he's run this pace before and he's getting so much 917 00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:08,360 hype because just the the the momentum train he's got behind 918 00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:12,040 him is forced to be ahead. It's every time he gets out 919 00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:16,320 there, he surpasses people's expectations, right? 920 00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:20,400 He, he's, he's, he's got the American record in, in the half. 921 00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:26,160 So it's just he, he keeps upping his game every time he goes out 922 00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:30,480 there and he's very consistent. He, he doesn't have a lot of off 923 00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:34,560 days and he's just somebody who always sticks his nose in it, 924 00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:36,960 right. He like he when he calls his 925 00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:40,760 shot, he gets after it. And he's been talking about the 926 00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:43,160 American record. So if we, if you don't see the 927 00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:45,840 American record, it's not because he won't be getting aft. 928 00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:49,040 It's not like, oh, he's never was on it from the jump. 929 00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:53,640 He'll be on it. I hope that there's a bit of A 930 00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:59,320 and I and I do think there will be a pack of, of other, of other 931 00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:03,240 international, you know, of the East Africans that he can work 932 00:49:03,240 --> 00:49:04,880 off of. And and because he's not going 933 00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:09,040 to get any help from, there'll be no other Americans, I think, 934 00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:12,880 who maybe we'll see Rory Linklater for as North American. 935 00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:16,120 He does have a designated pacer with him I believe. 936 00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:18,080 He does, yeah. OK, great. 937 00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:20,760 Titus. Yeah, Connor has a pacer for. 938 00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:23,120 He's going to be his pacer. Whatever he wants to run, which 939 00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:25,400 he still hasn't explicitly said. Yeah, yeah. 940 00:49:25,600 --> 00:49:27,360 I'm like, still being. Very Rory. 941 00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:29,560 Rory might be up there from the you know, Rory's hailing from 942 00:49:29,560 --> 00:49:32,440 the 51st American state. So. 943 00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:36,040 He he might, he might be there. But yeah, that's good to hear. 944 00:49:36,040 --> 00:49:40,840 He's got his own pacer. But yeah, this this American 945 00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:44,600 field, it's it's pretty stuck. I'm I'm even looking just 946 00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:48,080 besides the Conor man because it's the whole a lot of the 947 00:49:48,400 --> 00:49:52,440 coverage so far has been on him. Tomorrow will be on him, but I'm 948 00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:55,320 looking at the names that were running down the list. 949 00:49:55,760 --> 00:49:59,960 Galen Robb, you know, an American running legend first. 950 00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:02,240 Race since trials. First race is at trials. 951 00:50:02,240 --> 00:50:05,680 He's been is so banged up, so many big injuries he's battled 952 00:50:05,680 --> 00:50:10,880 through. This will be a real tell of 953 00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:14,040 where he's at. I was going to say I watched him 954 00:50:14,040 --> 00:50:17,640 at the press conference. What I really liked about Galen 955 00:50:17,640 --> 00:50:20,360 Brupp was he had like an insanely positive attitude. 956 00:50:20,720 --> 00:50:23,760 I feel like as someone who hasn't raced since the trials, I 957 00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:26,360 mean, he he went ahead and said, like, I've got my sights set on 958 00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:28,680 2028. Like I'm this is, I'm ready. 959 00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:32,080 This is a stepping stone, which I mean, I know that's that's 960 00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:34,920 down the road, but to me it's telling me like this is not he's 961 00:50:34,920 --> 00:50:36,600 not over. I think he's 39. 962 00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:41,440 He's not counting himself out and you know, especially with 963 00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:43,360 all those injuries you just mentioned, what do you guys 964 00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:45,080 think a successful day for him looks like? 965 00:50:45,520 --> 00:50:46,720 Well. It was great question. 966 00:50:46,720 --> 00:50:49,040 Yeah, it was. Actually, I really like that 967 00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:52,080 interview with Galen because he was just very open about the 968 00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:56,360 fact, like he acknowledges he's not the Galen that like we're 969 00:50:56,360 --> 00:50:59,800 used to seeing, like he's not the Olympic bronze medalist in 970 00:50:59,800 --> 00:51:03,040 2016 anymore. Like he he still thinks he can 971 00:51:03,040 --> 00:51:06,920 get back there, but he's aware of where he is right now. 972 00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:11,880 He did say like him and Mike Smith, they have goals. 973 00:51:12,360 --> 00:51:14,320 He didn't say what any of them were, but like. 974 00:51:14,320 --> 00:51:15,360 They do have a they. They. 975 00:51:16,080 --> 00:51:18,320 They're there, yeah. He goes, oh, I have goals. 976 00:51:19,240 --> 00:51:20,320 Oh, they're there. Yeah. 977 00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:25,800 He's like, care to name a few? I don't no, but I have them. 978 00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:29,320 Yeah, so they do have like an idea of what a good race 979 00:51:29,320 --> 00:51:31,920 tomorrow would be. They have a concept of a plan. 980 00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:34,760 I've got concepts. I've got concepts. 981 00:51:35,240 --> 00:51:38,800 He's a little more than a year removed from a hip surgery. 982 00:51:39,960 --> 00:51:44,600 He's but he's, he's feeling good, even like he's aware that 983 00:51:44,680 --> 00:51:46,520 it's, it's, you know, he's not going to be part of that 984 00:51:46,520 --> 00:51:48,360 American record chase with Connor anymore. 985 00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:50,680 He's not in that kind of shape. He's not, he's just not, but 986 00:51:50,680 --> 00:51:52,400 he's. He's ready for a solid day, 987 00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:53,560 definitely. I think it's solid. 988 00:51:53,680 --> 00:51:56,840 It's it's tough to say what a solid day for Galen would look 989 00:51:56,840 --> 00:52:00,240 like because he hasn't told us his goals. 990 00:52:01,640 --> 00:52:07,880 But I mean, like, I even think like a two O 9, but two O 9 991 00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:14,640 would be a great day. I mean, this is he's he's set on 992 00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:20,200 racing through 2028 yes. So I imagine it's just it's it's 993 00:52:20,240 --> 00:52:25,160 building from here, staying healthy, getting some positive 994 00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:28,120 momentum going. I think to anything under 210 995 00:52:28,120 --> 00:52:31,920 would be a pretty good day. I think it's finishing under 210 996 00:52:31,920 --> 00:52:34,200 or around 2:10 and be healthy. Yeah. 997 00:52:34,360 --> 00:52:36,600 Finish healthy so that he can build off of this right? 998 00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:38,280 Yeah, something to build. Off. 999 00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:41,440 Do you think his ego can go out that slow? 1000 00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:45,280 I think, yeah. I mean, it's this isn't the 1001 00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:47,800 Galen from 2016, right? This is he. 1002 00:52:47,880 --> 00:52:50,240 Literally said I had to learn how to re, how to run. 1003 00:52:50,360 --> 00:52:53,120 Yeah, we have to relearn that when you're somebody who's like 1004 00:52:53,120 --> 00:52:56,760 Galen, where it's like every single time you line up, you're 1005 00:52:56,760 --> 00:52:59,120 you're going for wins. You want to be the guy, you're 1006 00:52:59,120 --> 00:53:04,120 known as the guy. It does take some some a hard 1007 00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:08,680 reset, some recalibrating your your mental, your mental state 1008 00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:11,280 to go into these races and be like this is the goal. 1009 00:53:12,240 --> 00:53:15,320 I'm not where I was years ago, but I'm not the same person I 1010 00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:16,880 was years ago. And you just learn and you grow 1011 00:53:17,560 --> 00:53:21,160 and I and I I don't I don't see it. 1012 00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:24,440 He's his ego. The knocks have already come, 1013 00:53:24,720 --> 00:53:27,560 right? Like he, it's not like anybody's 1014 00:53:27,560 --> 00:53:31,320 expecting him to go out and be pushing Conor Manse or, or being 1015 00:53:31,320 --> 00:53:34,160 these top Americans even like the rest of the field, right? 1016 00:53:34,160 --> 00:53:37,760 Like Matt Rickman. Is not racing. 1017 00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:39,520 He's not racing. I was like, OK, oh, I. 1018 00:53:39,840 --> 00:53:41,760 Was looking I was looking forward to. 1019 00:53:41,760 --> 00:53:43,200 That's why I was like, I was like, where the fuck? 1020 00:53:43,720 --> 00:53:44,840 We haven't been talking about him. 1021 00:53:45,200 --> 00:53:47,520 He's another guy. It's like, doesn't he like that 1022 00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:49,320 race came out of nowhere for a lot of us. 1023 00:53:49,320 --> 00:53:52,440 Workouts. Isn't that no he like just I 1024 00:53:52,440 --> 00:53:54,000 remember because he he ran that in. 1025 00:53:54,200 --> 00:53:56,800 LA, the last one doing I'm like, what do you like? 1026 00:53:56,800 --> 00:53:58,560 He said. I go, well, what do you mean? 1027 00:54:01,840 --> 00:54:04,800 But like like, I don't think like looking at this field. 1028 00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:10,400 CJ Albertson, I would imagine is is one of the the it'll probably 1029 00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:15,160 in my mind go Connor. CJ Yeah, actually I like Casey 1030 00:54:15,160 --> 00:54:17,920 Clinger for I think. I overheard, I think I overheard 1031 00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:20,720 him doing pretty well, say yesterday a good day for him 1032 00:54:20,720 --> 00:54:24,760 would just be getting under 210 because, you know, he had a 1033 00:54:24,760 --> 00:54:28,440 really tough day in Tokyo. He even joked like he's like, 1034 00:54:29,160 --> 00:54:33,200 yeah, I, I mostly jogged Tokyo. I ran a little bit of it. 1035 00:54:33,200 --> 00:54:35,640 I think he finished like somewhere in the 40s at World 1036 00:54:35,640 --> 00:54:38,720 and. I forget because Tokyo is, I 1037 00:54:38,720 --> 00:54:40,400 mean, I'm still getting over Tokyo. 1038 00:54:41,680 --> 00:54:45,040 So so I we only had two. Group runs. 1039 00:54:45,040 --> 00:54:50,040 Yeah, we, I'm like, my legs aren't quite back under me from 1040 00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:53,080 Tokyo, so I can't really put myself in CJ's place. 1041 00:54:53,080 --> 00:54:57,920 But he's just so he's a guy who's used to these short 1042 00:54:57,920 --> 00:55:02,280 turnarounds. And so for, for not usually that 1043 00:55:02,280 --> 00:55:05,680 doesn't work for most people, but for him it does seem to, to, 1044 00:55:05,920 --> 00:55:10,280 to be fine with. And I, I just he's somebody who 1045 00:55:10,640 --> 00:55:13,800 is again, pretty consistently with how how he runs. 1046 00:55:14,200 --> 00:55:18,720 So I do think he's probably I'd be shocked to see him out too 1047 00:55:18,720 --> 00:55:22,080 far outside of like maybe top three Americans trying to see 1048 00:55:22,080 --> 00:55:27,040 Casey Clinger talk about more about this the Utah, the Utah 1049 00:55:28,760 --> 00:55:32,160 contingent contingent. Yeah, I was going to throw a 1050 00:55:32,160 --> 00:55:34,280 mint contingent mint and I got, well, that's not right. 1051 00:55:36,280 --> 00:55:42,600 But yeah, like just this Ed I Stone group is taking over and 1052 00:55:42,920 --> 00:55:46,280 Casey Clinger's run really well on like since he's since he's 1053 00:55:46,280 --> 00:55:49,560 finally graduated and made his way to the roads. 1054 00:55:49,600 --> 00:55:51,520 Yeah, he's done really well. He was. 1055 00:55:51,520 --> 00:55:55,120 Was it like US25K champs or something like that? 1056 00:55:55,120 --> 00:55:58,360 That 21 new? I think Connor won 20. 1057 00:55:58,360 --> 00:56:01,160 I think Casey might have won like the 25 K or something. 1058 00:56:01,520 --> 00:56:03,840 Like then someone else won the 27 K, yeah. 1059 00:56:04,800 --> 00:56:07,920 He's they won't stop. But he's really like he's he's 1060 00:56:08,520 --> 00:56:11,440 pretty, he's run really well at these longer distances and I 1061 00:56:11,440 --> 00:56:15,440 wouldn't be surprised to see him do very well for sure. 1062 00:56:15,440 --> 00:56:17,800 But no, I'm excited to see this American field. 1063 00:56:17,880 --> 00:56:23,080 Obviously Connor, but but the the guys besides him, yeah, 1064 00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:28,240 there's just a lot of I mean, I'm looking at these names. 1065 00:56:28,240 --> 00:56:29,960 I was. Gonna say shout out to local 1066 00:56:29,960 --> 00:56:32,280 talents. We've got Callum Mchow, who's, 1067 00:56:32,360 --> 00:56:34,640 you know, he's gone to worlds. That's he's a local talent, but 1068 00:56:34,640 --> 00:56:38,920 he's a world class guy. Kevin Silvano, he's a a Notre 1069 00:56:38,920 --> 00:56:42,720 Dame grad shout out Kevin. He I think he's still running. 1070 00:56:42,720 --> 00:56:45,840 There's there's been no scratches, but he is also a fast 1071 00:56:45,840 --> 00:56:47,440 guy. I think 2:11 is maybe I think 1072 00:56:47,440 --> 00:56:49,920 it's from Chicago, but they're just local towns, right? 1073 00:56:49,920 --> 00:56:52,560 They know the streets. They they, it's, I don't 1074 00:56:52,560 --> 00:56:56,520 necessarily think they need to be at altitude to like have a 1075 00:56:56,520 --> 00:56:58,480 little bit more like they have a competitive advantage. 1076 00:56:58,480 --> 00:57:01,960 Just being here, knowing the the course, having people out there. 1077 00:57:02,800 --> 00:57:04,800 The blue line negates all of that though. 1078 00:57:04,960 --> 00:57:06,840 It's too easy. Yeah, people don't know about 1079 00:57:06,840 --> 00:57:07,440 that blue. Line they don't. 1080 00:57:07,440 --> 00:57:10,320 They don't have that advantage. Someone not on here, Matthew 1081 00:57:10,320 --> 00:57:14,880 Centrowitz, I he's he to me, He's got, he's got the Galen 1082 00:57:14,880 --> 00:57:17,160 lore right because he's older. But it's the opposite where 1083 00:57:17,160 --> 00:57:18,200 he's, you know, he's a track guy. 1084 00:57:18,480 --> 00:57:21,360 He did run Chicago last year. He paced the elite women. 1085 00:57:22,240 --> 00:57:24,600 To my understanding. He made it look pretty easy just 1086 00:57:24,600 --> 00:57:26,480 chatting it up. Yeah, I. 1087 00:57:26,520 --> 00:57:28,560 Wouldn't what does a good day look like for him out here, you 1088 00:57:28,560 --> 00:57:29,640 know? Well, what's his plan? 1089 00:57:29,640 --> 00:57:31,120 Isn't he? Isn't he Pacing again? 1090 00:57:31,920 --> 00:57:34,040 He's. Entered in the Elite field. 1091 00:57:34,240 --> 00:57:35,920 He's in the elite field. Yeah, yeah. 1092 00:57:36,400 --> 00:57:36,800 Wow. I've. 1093 00:57:36,960 --> 00:57:39,560 Heard. I feel like I've seen things 1094 00:57:39,560 --> 00:57:42,920 that say like he's not really, he's still not really like 1095 00:57:42,920 --> 00:57:46,320 sending it. Like, I don't really know. 1096 00:57:46,640 --> 00:57:50,440 So he's not pacing. He lives here now. 1097 00:57:50,560 --> 00:57:51,160 He. I've. 1098 00:57:51,280 --> 00:57:53,520 Seen him at the track. I mean, he, he looks like he's 1099 00:57:53,520 --> 00:57:55,160 fit. Well, look, the guy's an Olympic 1100 00:57:55,160 --> 00:58:00,640 gold medalist and is known for having like picture perfect 1101 00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:04,120 running form. So even when, even when he's 1102 00:58:04,520 --> 00:58:07,320 fading in these races, his form never breaks down. 1103 00:58:08,200 --> 00:58:12,360 I ran behind him for many miles and was locked in on him. 1104 00:58:12,680 --> 00:58:15,840 So I know what it's like. So he he looks, he's a he's a 1105 00:58:15,840 --> 00:58:19,960 good looking runner. What's his his plan out there 1106 00:58:19,960 --> 00:58:21,560 and what would be a good day for him? 1107 00:58:21,560 --> 00:58:25,200 I mean, man, anything close if and if if Paul says he's not 1108 00:58:25,200 --> 00:58:28,240 really even if he's not even at full send. 1109 00:58:28,280 --> 00:58:31,720 Yeah, I don't know, like what, 222? 1110 00:58:32,440 --> 00:58:34,280 How about an Olympics? An Olympic. 1111 00:58:34,640 --> 00:58:39,920 Trial What's the trial standard? 216. 216 would be that's a tough 1112 00:58:39,920 --> 00:58:40,600 day that's. A tough. 1113 00:58:40,760 --> 00:58:46,240 Day that's a tough you guys didn't 216 now we're like, I 1114 00:58:46,240 --> 00:58:52,680 mean Sentro over Galen shit. Well, look, I think and I think 1115 00:58:52,760 --> 00:58:55,600 I think other people were talking about this where they 1116 00:58:55,600 --> 00:59:00,160 were saying, look, because Galen is sending it and there could be 1117 00:59:00,280 --> 00:59:05,720 like Galen could run 209208 or he he's he could go for it and 1118 00:59:05,720 --> 00:59:11,840 and really fade. And if he really fades and and 1119 00:59:11,840 --> 00:59:14,560 Sentro smells blood in the water, I don't know. 1120 00:59:15,800 --> 00:59:20,200 That's a fun little side bet on DraftKings or FanDuel if they 1121 00:59:20,200 --> 00:59:22,280 want to take if the prop bets are live. 1122 00:59:24,160 --> 00:59:28,440 But yeah, so I don't really know what the Yeah. 1123 00:59:28,800 --> 00:59:32,520 Does Sento have concepts of plans and maybe goals even, Who 1124 00:59:32,520 --> 00:59:33,640 knows? These are the question. 1125 00:59:34,800 --> 00:59:39,400 But that it, it will be fun, fun to watch him regardless. 1126 00:59:39,440 --> 00:59:43,040 Yeah, we'll, we'll, we'll Chuck Mcgell at at the halfway point 1127 00:59:43,040 --> 00:59:45,040 when he passes. It will be out there. 1128 00:59:45,040 --> 00:59:47,440 I'll I'll throw up a slice of pepperoni pizza as hard as I can 1129 00:59:47,440 --> 00:59:50,160 at his. Head Will Will Centro beat the 1130 00:59:50,160 --> 00:59:54,880 women's winner? Oh, what an interesting 1131 00:59:54,880 --> 00:59:56,320 question. Great question. 1132 00:59:56,840 --> 00:59:58,360 Can lead us into predictions too. 1133 00:59:59,040 --> 01:00:03,320 That is a great question, Paul. I think that's. 1134 01:00:04,080 --> 01:00:06,080 DraftKings is furiously typing up that bad. 1135 01:00:07,280 --> 01:00:09,480 I think that's a great. That's a great line. 1136 01:00:10,440 --> 01:00:14,480 Yeah. My God, I, I think. 1137 01:00:14,600 --> 01:00:16,040 Well, the P the fastest I. Think you will. 1138 01:00:16,360 --> 01:00:19,320 Is to 16 right by? I don't think he will. 1139 01:00:19,320 --> 01:00:20,000 You don't think so? I don't. 1140 01:00:20,360 --> 01:00:20,880 Think he will? No. 1141 01:00:20,880 --> 01:00:23,560 Well, I don't think. I don't think I think Matthew 1142 01:00:23,600 --> 01:00:25,720 would like try to out kick like Matthew. 1143 01:00:26,080 --> 01:00:28,480 Matthew isn't the person to race the elite women. 1144 01:00:28,640 --> 01:00:29,800 Like he's going to run his own race. 1145 01:00:29,840 --> 01:00:31,560 Oh yeah, yeah, he's not going. To be one of those people that's 1146 01:00:31,560 --> 01:00:33,240 like JV kicking. God no. 1147 01:00:33,240 --> 01:00:35,680 No. If that case even came up, he 1148 01:00:35,680 --> 01:00:38,160 would never. He would slow down purposefully 1149 01:00:38,320 --> 01:00:42,320 to not be in that situation. Insanely good question. 1150 01:00:42,320 --> 01:00:44,160 Because they start at the same time. 1151 01:00:44,400 --> 01:00:45,640 I feel like this is a world major. 1152 01:00:45,640 --> 01:00:46,760 We don't. You don't always see that, but 1153 01:00:46,760 --> 01:00:49,080 the men and women start at the exact same time. 1154 01:00:49,080 --> 01:00:52,760 I mean, theoretically he could latch on to one of the women. 1155 01:00:53,520 --> 01:00:56,400 He's got yeah, yeah. I'm like we're we're talking a 1156 01:00:56,400 --> 01:00:58,920 bit about like hopefully Connor man isn't in no man's name. 1157 01:00:58,920 --> 01:01:01,680 Centro is like, I'm just with the lead women. 1158 01:01:02,600 --> 01:01:05,520 Centro and Maguire 211 We're going to be best friends 1159 01:01:05,520 --> 01:01:08,640 tomorrow to. End the won't stop talking to 1160 01:01:08,640 --> 01:01:10,360 her. Will Centro beat the top 1161 01:01:10,360 --> 01:01:14,960 American woman? Again, this is a really good 1162 01:01:14,960 --> 01:01:17,280 question. I think he, I think he will beat 1163 01:01:17,280 --> 01:01:22,760 the top American woman. Yeah, I think, I think because I 1164 01:01:22,760 --> 01:01:27,000 think he's, I think he's probably around 2:18. 1165 01:01:27,000 --> 01:01:28,240 OK. I think that's a good. 1166 01:01:28,240 --> 01:01:32,760 I like that. I like that #218 I think is the, 1167 01:01:32,840 --> 01:01:34,840 is the over under. I'm going to go on Centro. 1168 01:01:35,320 --> 01:01:40,200 I think 218 is going to be a hard, that's a hard time for 1169 01:01:40,280 --> 01:01:46,960 sure, man, man or woman. So I, I think, I think that's 1170 01:01:46,960 --> 01:01:49,440 probably my over under. And I don't know if any of the 1171 01:01:49,440 --> 01:01:53,160 American women, like I don't know if any of the American 1172 01:01:53,160 --> 01:01:56,920 women can match Centro's 218 potential. 1173 01:01:58,600 --> 01:02:01,320 Oh, man, I think this kind of leads us right into predictions, 1174 01:02:01,320 --> 01:02:02,640 right? This we're kind of already on 1175 01:02:02,640 --> 01:02:05,480 that track. What do we want to start with 1176 01:02:05,480 --> 01:02:07,000 here? We've got, I think 4 what 4 1177 01:02:07,000 --> 01:02:08,680 predictions that we've we've solidified. 1178 01:02:08,720 --> 01:02:14,000 On Yeah OK, men's, men's and men's overall men. 1179 01:02:14,000 --> 01:02:17,200 'S overall winner. I think, I think I had said, I 1180 01:02:17,200 --> 01:02:19,920 said John Courier. I think he, he's my guy, right? 1181 01:02:20,240 --> 01:02:22,840 I like him. I like him for the for the 1182 01:02:22,840 --> 01:02:26,240 overall win. No shocker there, really. 1183 01:02:26,320 --> 01:02:28,480 No shocker there. I I'm hesitant. 1184 01:02:28,560 --> 01:02:30,200 I hate going right after we have like the same picks. 1185 01:02:30,200 --> 01:02:32,680 We have similar picks. I'm glad I'm able to go first. 1186 01:02:32,680 --> 01:02:38,200 Perfect. I I sound like I'm copying him 1187 01:02:38,200 --> 01:02:42,480 now. I also went John career because 1188 01:02:42,720 --> 01:02:45,320 of his experience. Like as like I do think 1189 01:02:45,320 --> 01:02:49,000 obviously on the flat fast course, like that speed from Kip 1190 01:02:49,000 --> 01:02:51,400 limo can make an appearance and emerge. 1191 01:02:51,400 --> 01:02:55,480 But like, you know, as someone who has absolutely died in a 1192 01:02:55,480 --> 01:02:59,720 marathon so many times and never resurrected, you got to have 1193 01:02:59,720 --> 01:03:02,680 that experience. And like coming off of a Boston 1194 01:03:02,680 --> 01:03:04,960 win. And I know they said he didn't 1195 01:03:04,960 --> 01:03:07,480 look that great at the end of Boston, particularly like he was 1196 01:03:07,480 --> 01:03:09,360 kind of fading back. He held on. 1197 01:03:09,600 --> 01:03:11,880 He's got the strength. I'm going, I'm going career. 1198 01:03:12,840 --> 01:03:18,680 I'm leading Kaplimo. I'm just trusting the unbelief, 1199 01:03:18,680 --> 01:03:20,760 like he's one of the most talented runners we've ever seen 1200 01:03:20,760 --> 01:03:22,560 on the track. Yeah, he's obviously the most 1201 01:03:22,560 --> 01:03:24,800 talented half marathoner we've ever seen. 1202 01:03:24,800 --> 01:03:27,920 Yeah. And he's I think he's learned 1203 01:03:27,920 --> 01:03:31,560 some lessons from London. I think he's going to be willing 1204 01:03:31,560 --> 01:03:33,720 to match whatever a career has to do. 1205 01:03:34,240 --> 01:03:38,160 And then, you know, like you said, this is a course that with 1206 01:03:38,160 --> 01:03:40,840 how flat it is, how fast it is, could lean into his strength, 1207 01:03:40,840 --> 01:03:43,000 Right. I'm pretty sure Kalimo's also 1208 01:03:43,440 --> 01:03:46,400 had has really strong cross country accolades. 1209 01:03:46,400 --> 01:03:49,520 So Mount Roosevelt shouldn't be a problem for him coming to the 1210 01:03:49,520 --> 01:03:52,440 finish. So I'm, I'm leaning Kaplimo on 1211 01:03:52,440 --> 01:03:53,080 this. Yeah. 1212 01:03:53,880 --> 01:03:56,320 OK. Yeah, give me John Career. 1213 01:03:56,560 --> 01:03:59,320 He's just been on one over the last 18 months. 1214 01:04:00,600 --> 01:04:04,040 I think that his experience here is going to play out and I'm 1215 01:04:04,040 --> 01:04:07,080 excited to see these guys take each other like into some deep 1216 01:04:07,080 --> 01:04:11,760 water at halfway. I think it's going to like John 1217 01:04:11,760 --> 01:04:13,840 Career is going to start turning the screws after halfway and 1218 01:04:13,840 --> 01:04:15,160 that's going to be pretty fun to watch. 1219 01:04:15,920 --> 01:04:22,600 The load, if they go like that, depending on how fast that 1220 01:04:22,600 --> 01:04:26,680 first, that first, if they really are on 60.6, you know, 1221 01:04:26,680 --> 01:04:31,880 6030 pace through the half it people are going to be hurting 1222 01:04:32,400 --> 01:04:35,760 and they're going to be, I mean, there's going to be hurting deep 1223 01:04:35,760 --> 01:04:37,760 and the whole field's going to be hurting at that at that 1224 01:04:37,760 --> 01:04:42,760 point. So yeah, this the the overall 1225 01:04:42,760 --> 01:04:47,880 win this storyline is it's we don't, we don't get this right. 1226 01:04:47,880 --> 01:04:53,000 Like the for these, these major marathons, obviously they're all 1227 01:04:53,000 --> 01:04:55,240 the fields are always good, they're always stacked, but 1228 01:04:55,240 --> 01:04:57,720 there's so many different storylines going on. 1229 01:04:58,280 --> 01:05:01,200 Yeah, tomorrow that just make the race so much more exciting. 1230 01:05:01,360 --> 01:05:05,520 Yeah, I mean, this is like 2 guys that could like they very 1231 01:05:05,520 --> 01:05:10,400 well could go 201 low under 201. But like like when Kip Doom ran 1232 01:05:10,400 --> 01:05:14,440 the world record 2 flat 35, he was way ahead of everyone. 1233 01:05:14,440 --> 01:05:17,040 John, career, I think finished third in that race. 1234 01:05:17,800 --> 01:05:20,760 Like we never got to see Kip Chogi versus Kip Doom. 1235 01:05:21,040 --> 01:05:24,320 So this is like one of the first times we could see with the 1236 01:05:24,320 --> 01:05:26,600 weather cooperating on this type, of course. 1237 01:05:26,600 --> 01:05:30,600 Like we could see two of the absolute fastest performances in 1238 01:05:30,600 --> 01:05:32,320 history tomorrow. Yeah, yeah. 1239 01:05:32,360 --> 01:05:34,000 Do you think a world record goes down? 1240 01:05:36,560 --> 01:05:37,920 Is that it's? Going to be obviously a negative 1241 01:05:37,920 --> 01:05:42,600 split and is that possible? Is it possible to go out in 6030 1242 01:05:42,600 --> 01:05:45,280 and and close at? Home yeah, it's definitely it's 1243 01:05:45,280 --> 01:05:47,040 possible we see the world record right. 1244 01:05:49,040 --> 01:05:53,960 I'm going to say I'm going to say no, I don't I don't think 1245 01:05:53,960 --> 01:06:00,840 they'll get it tomorrow. I think it's I'd love to be 1246 01:06:00,840 --> 01:06:03,280 wrong. I'd absolutely love to see them 1247 01:06:03,560 --> 01:06:08,520 that get that, that record. I think it's just such a tough, 1248 01:06:08,960 --> 01:06:15,040 tough time. And I think they, I think on AI 1249 01:06:15,040 --> 01:06:17,840 think they might be just outside of it, but you never know. 1250 01:06:17,840 --> 01:06:23,240 And even if they go sub 2O12 flat 35 is a long way a long way 1251 01:06:23,240 --> 01:06:24,200 2O one. It's not just. 1252 01:06:24,320 --> 01:06:26,040 Yeah, exactly. Like they can, they can run 1253 01:06:26,040 --> 01:06:31,360 2O2O2 flat 50. Is it only 15? 1254 01:06:31,360 --> 01:06:34,200 Seconds, 15 seconds off and it's such an unbelievable time. 1255 01:06:34,200 --> 01:06:36,800 It'll be almost a second per mile off. 1256 01:06:37,880 --> 01:06:42,360 And if it's, I don't know what the the weather conditions were 1257 01:06:42,360 --> 01:06:44,920 like when when Kipton ran, it ran his record. 1258 01:06:44,920 --> 01:06:47,520 But if good they were good they were, they were. 1259 01:06:47,640 --> 01:06:51,560 So it was, it was, it was the dew point was lower at dew 1260 01:06:51,600 --> 01:06:52,520 point. I'd have to check. 1261 01:06:52,520 --> 01:06:58,240 Yeah, I think when you are going for a record this impressive, a 1262 01:06:58,240 --> 01:07:01,320 lot of the times the stars do need to be perfectly aligned as 1263 01:07:01,320 --> 01:07:04,520 far as all the conditions go and and everything like that. 1264 01:07:04,520 --> 01:07:09,120 So I don't necessarily think that if I, if I were to bet on 1265 01:07:09,120 --> 01:07:11,240 it, I would say the record doesn't go down tomorrow. 1266 01:07:11,880 --> 01:07:13,640 I think it's a good stepping stone for these guys. 1267 01:07:13,800 --> 01:07:17,560 Like I think this sets them up and Tees them up to do it. 1268 01:07:18,120 --> 01:07:19,680 Somewhere down the line. Somewhere down the line. 1269 01:07:19,680 --> 01:07:20,200 Exactly. Yeah. 1270 01:07:20,680 --> 01:07:24,240 Women's women's marathon overall winner. 1271 01:07:24,840 --> 01:07:28,960 We talked about it. I think that we, you know, we're 1272 01:07:28,960 --> 01:07:32,600 probably all debating between like 2 to 3, similar to the 1273 01:07:32,600 --> 01:07:34,240 men's where there's like some standouts. 1274 01:07:34,400 --> 01:07:37,760 I had so this was this was I wanted to switch it up a bit. 1275 01:07:37,920 --> 01:07:44,800 OK, because Elaine MU is is the on paper the heavy favorite with 1276 01:07:44,880 --> 01:07:49,040 with the with the likes of chef and get it out of it. 1277 01:07:49,760 --> 01:07:55,520 But I had Howie face a yeah. Now why did I have that, you're 1278 01:07:55,520 --> 01:07:56,920 asking? And I was going to ask. 1279 01:07:59,120 --> 01:08:03,640 Look, I, I think that there's, there's a big opening for for 1280 01:08:03,640 --> 01:08:07,240 somebody to come in often times, let's say in times of conflict 1281 01:08:07,240 --> 01:08:11,040 and war, when people are confused and there seems to be 1282 01:08:11,040 --> 01:08:14,560 no leadership at the top, that's when somebody steps in and takes 1283 01:08:14,560 --> 01:08:18,439 control, takes power. I think somebody like how he 1284 01:08:18,479 --> 01:08:25,800 might be the person for that. So I think just because and, and 1285 01:08:25,800 --> 01:08:28,120 look, she's still got an incredibly fast time. 1286 01:08:28,120 --> 01:08:30,640 She's still one of the the fastest out there. 1287 01:08:30,640 --> 01:08:32,720 So it's not like I'm like insane. 1288 01:08:32,720 --> 01:08:34,800 Yeah, it's not. I'm over here talking like it's 1289 01:08:34,800 --> 01:08:36,439 a crazy dark horse. It's not that, no. 1290 01:08:36,600 --> 01:08:38,080 As far as horses go, it's the second. 1291 01:08:38,080 --> 01:08:39,200 Fastest woman in the. Field. 1292 01:08:39,200 --> 01:08:42,760 Yeah, Yeah, yeah, yeah, no it. Is her Chicago debut. 1293 01:08:43,359 --> 01:08:45,000 It is her. It could be like that you. 1294 01:08:45,359 --> 01:08:47,960 Know she'll follow the blue line, she'll follow. 1295 01:08:48,359 --> 01:08:49,399 She'll follow the blue let. Her do. 1296 01:08:50,479 --> 01:08:56,800 So that's that's my pick. OK, I didn't go Howie. 1297 01:08:56,800 --> 01:09:02,439 I went Mcgirt to Allemu the the the stand out. 1298 01:09:02,439 --> 01:09:06,520 I mean, to me, contrary to what I exactly said about the 1299 01:09:06,520 --> 01:09:09,840 endurance versus like the speed with the men, there's something 1300 01:09:09,840 --> 01:09:14,399 that I'm just feeling contrary to my exact opinion, she's the 1301 01:09:14,399 --> 01:09:17,800 fastest in the field. I just think like she's got 1302 01:09:17,840 --> 01:09:20,920 she's got that edge. You know, she's a two 1649 1303 01:09:20,920 --> 01:09:23,000 runner. She's been to Chicago, she's 1304 01:09:23,000 --> 01:09:27,399 been third place came off fast. Her P BS from London. 1305 01:09:27,439 --> 01:09:30,319 I just think the experience, I think the last 10 Ki like I 1306 01:09:30,319 --> 01:09:32,439 think don't get me wrong, I think Howie's there, but I think 1307 01:09:32,439 --> 01:09:36,080 that last 10K she shows the field that she's run this course 1308 01:09:36,080 --> 01:09:42,439 before and and This is why. Yeah, I think Taye, especially 1309 01:09:42,439 --> 01:09:45,399 with like the points Mac, like for Taye's debut, I think it's 1310 01:09:45,399 --> 01:09:48,000 good that she's not getting thrown into a race where like 1311 01:09:48,000 --> 01:09:49,920 you need to go 211 to win or whatever. 1312 01:09:49,920 --> 01:09:53,120 Yeah, like 216 or 217, whatever they end up running is still 1313 01:09:53,120 --> 01:09:57,200 obviously really fast, but it's not like absolutely just insane. 1314 01:09:57,800 --> 01:09:59,360 So Taya is definitely going to be 1 to watch. 1315 01:09:59,440 --> 01:10:01,760 That being said, I'm also going with Aleimu. 1316 01:10:02,600 --> 01:10:06,560 Like she has the fastest time in the field with that 21634 PB, 1317 01:10:06,560 --> 01:10:10,240 but looking at just her resume the last couple years she was at 1318 01:10:10,240 --> 01:10:13,680 DNF in Paris, but that's really the only kind of like 1319 01:10:13,960 --> 01:10:17,840 challenging course she's run. So it's not. 1320 01:10:18,000 --> 01:10:20,560 And that's not something you really have to worry about here 1321 01:10:20,560 --> 01:10:24,720 in Chicago. Last year she ran her PB21634. 1322 01:10:24,720 --> 01:10:29,960 It was fourth in London and then 216 again later in 2024 to win 1323 01:10:29,960 --> 01:10:36,600 Valencia 202321837 for second in London. 217 O nine. 1324 01:10:36,600 --> 01:10:40,680 Third here in Chicago in that race where Ruth Chapman Gaddich 1325 01:10:40,680 --> 01:10:42,280 is constander battling at the front. 1326 01:10:42,400 --> 01:10:43,680 Well, how did she place? Was she? 1327 01:10:43,800 --> 01:10:45,240 She was third. She was third, OK. 1328 01:10:45,320 --> 01:10:48,120 So those two women aren't here this year, Yeah. 1329 01:10:48,360 --> 01:10:53,160 Twenty, 22218 Win in Seville, 218 3rd in London. 1330 01:10:53,160 --> 01:10:57,240 So she hasn't really on these kind of quicker courses. 1331 01:10:57,400 --> 01:10:59,920 She hasn't had a bad day in three years. 1332 01:11:00,040 --> 01:11:02,640 Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so especially without like a 1333 01:11:02,640 --> 01:11:07,520 real world beater up front, I really like her chances. 1334 01:11:07,880 --> 01:11:08,960 Tomorrow, yeah. Yeah. 1335 01:11:09,040 --> 01:11:12,680 And I guess for for me, because there is no one that's just head 1336 01:11:12,680 --> 01:11:14,320 and shoulders above anybody else here. 1337 01:11:15,160 --> 01:11:18,800 I'm going, I think fairly deep here with but not to her but. 1338 01:11:19,240 --> 01:11:23,600 Wow. She just won the Dubai Marathon 1339 01:11:23,600 --> 01:11:28,320 in 218, so not a traditionally fast, it's not the fastest 1340 01:11:28,320 --> 01:11:32,640 course out there. So I think the win shows a lot 1341 01:11:32,640 --> 01:11:34,920 that like she's ready to compete at the at the front of the 1342 01:11:34,920 --> 01:11:37,200 field. And because there isn't like a 1343 01:11:37,200 --> 01:11:39,440 world beater out here, I think she's going to be in the mix. 1344 01:11:39,440 --> 01:11:42,200 And I like that she just, she's coming off a win and now she's 1345 01:11:42,200 --> 01:11:45,280 in a fast course. So yeah, her personal best is 2 1346 01:11:45,280 --> 01:11:47,720 minutes behind, you know, the, the leaders here. 1347 01:11:47,720 --> 01:11:50,600 But I, I think that, that I don't think that that's enough 1348 01:11:50,600 --> 01:11:53,560 of a gap to, you know, for her to be afraid of and, and 1349 01:11:53,560 --> 01:11:55,320 separate herself. I, I, I think she's going to be 1350 01:11:55,320 --> 01:11:56,520 in it. Oh really? 1351 01:11:56,640 --> 01:11:58,800 It is something to be said. I feel like sometimes in the 1352 01:11:58,800 --> 01:12:02,920 marathon about someone like their best historical 1353 01:12:02,920 --> 01:12:06,680 performance and then like someone who has a most recent PB 1354 01:12:06,680 --> 01:12:08,560 and like what that momentum can bring. 1355 01:12:08,760 --> 01:12:11,160 For sure. I feel like that is where we see 1356 01:12:11,160 --> 01:12:13,040 surprises. We see someone who just has had 1357 01:12:13,040 --> 01:12:16,840 good momentum like her just coming off like a fast PR and 1358 01:12:17,360 --> 01:12:20,400 and they just, they just garner. I feel like that, yeah, that 1359 01:12:20,400 --> 01:12:22,640 momentum. And and especially on that note, 1360 01:12:22,640 --> 01:12:27,680 as like a plus for Herpa, La MU hasn't raced at all in 2025. 1361 01:12:28,080 --> 01:12:32,080 So she hasn't raced since she ran 216 for the win in Valencia 1362 01:12:32,080 --> 01:12:34,760 last year. So it's a really big question 1363 01:12:34,760 --> 01:12:37,800 mark, I guess kind of where she's at, especially because, 1364 01:12:38,080 --> 01:12:40,800 you know, it's kind of more difficult to like get answers 1365 01:12:40,800 --> 01:12:43,720 from her in the press conference setting than like a Dakota 1366 01:12:43,720 --> 01:12:49,200 propane or someone. But if she's firing, which she 1367 01:12:49,200 --> 01:12:52,560 has been the last three years, like it's, it's going to be 1368 01:12:52,560 --> 01:12:54,080 tough for anyone to hang with her tomorrow, right? 1369 01:12:55,120 --> 01:12:58,920 OK, American women. American women I have. 1370 01:12:58,920 --> 01:13:03,920 For me, I've got Natasha Rogers for for all the reasons that we 1371 01:13:03,920 --> 01:13:05,080 talked about earlier in the show. 1372 01:13:05,160 --> 01:13:08,400 A lot of momentum has been looking really strong recently. 1373 01:13:08,400 --> 01:13:11,080 So I think she's my pick for the top American. 1374 01:13:11,680 --> 01:13:15,600 Yeah, surprise, surprise. Natasha Rogers. 1375 01:13:16,720 --> 01:13:18,720 I really love her, mostly because she follows me on 1376 01:13:18,720 --> 01:13:21,680 Instagram. She comments on. 1377 01:13:21,960 --> 01:13:24,600 She's got a good sense of humor. She's going to win. 1378 01:13:26,320 --> 01:13:29,000 She to me, she's this is her third appearance at Chicago. 1379 01:13:29,000 --> 01:13:31,840 She's a veteran. This is like long overdue. 1380 01:13:31,880 --> 01:13:34,200 You know, she she's under the radar a bit. 1381 01:13:34,200 --> 01:13:39,880 She popped off in Japan just in March and listening to her on 1382 01:13:39,880 --> 01:13:41,200 she was on her most recent podcast. 1383 01:13:41,200 --> 01:13:42,880 There's just like a confidence about her. 1384 01:13:43,040 --> 01:13:47,280 I think she's like new to the talks of being like the top in, 1385 01:13:47,480 --> 01:13:49,560 in this type of world major field. 1386 01:13:50,400 --> 01:13:52,560 I think that I think that feels well for someone like her who's 1387 01:13:52,560 --> 01:13:54,680 been like on that cusp bubbling up. 1388 01:13:55,480 --> 01:13:58,320 And so I I've got her. I've got her being the top 1389 01:13:58,320 --> 01:14:02,080 American. Maybe it is just because I 1390 01:14:02,080 --> 01:14:04,800 didn't get to talk to Natasha yesterday, but does. 1391 01:14:04,800 --> 01:14:09,640 She follow you or? She does not unfortunately, but 1392 01:14:10,120 --> 01:14:12,880 I'm drinking the Dakota propane kool-aid. 1393 01:14:13,120 --> 01:14:17,600 I'm trusting in her incredible workouts she's been putting up 1394 01:14:18,880 --> 01:14:21,360 and like, you know, she's she's got a lot of experience. 1395 01:14:21,360 --> 01:14:25,240 She's a little more seasoned at this distance than Natasha is. 1396 01:14:26,680 --> 01:14:29,560 And you know, she's been on this course before her PBS from this 1397 01:14:29,560 --> 01:14:33,160 course and she's grown a ton in the two years since she was here 1398 01:14:33,160 --> 01:14:36,320 last. And so I'm, I'm really liking I, 1399 01:14:36,320 --> 01:14:38,520 what I think Dakota's going to be able to pull off tomorrow. 1400 01:14:38,800 --> 01:14:41,640 Yeah, and I'm, I'm back in Paul here. 1401 01:14:42,600 --> 01:14:47,120 I like Dakota's top US woman. Her build. 1402 01:14:47,720 --> 01:14:48,800 I trust. I trust her. 1403 01:14:48,800 --> 01:14:49,560 This. Is trust her? 1404 01:14:49,680 --> 01:14:53,200 Of her life, I trust her. And yeah, she's got more 1405 01:14:53,200 --> 01:14:55,680 marathons under her belt than any other American in this 1406 01:14:55,680 --> 01:14:58,760 field. And yeah, she's I she's, I think 1407 01:14:58,760 --> 01:15:00,840 riding a good wave right now. I know Boston didn't go that 1408 01:15:00,840 --> 01:15:06,120 well for her last year, but she hits more times than not. 1409 01:15:06,120 --> 01:15:07,440 Like rarely do you see her fading. 1410 01:15:07,440 --> 01:15:10,080 And she's someone that that is pretty fearless when it comes to 1411 01:15:10,080 --> 01:15:12,320 the the first half of a marathon. 1412 01:15:12,320 --> 01:15:15,880 So yeah, I love Dakota's chances here of having a really good 1413 01:15:15,880 --> 01:15:19,200 race. Happy campers rocking out right 1414 01:15:19,200 --> 01:15:20,560 now. But it's not even. 1415 01:15:20,560 --> 01:15:22,880 It's 11:30. I'm like, they're partying over 1416 01:15:22,880 --> 01:15:23,520 here. They're. 1417 01:15:23,520 --> 01:15:25,440 Ready. Not just the flies, the people 1418 01:15:25,440 --> 01:15:29,320 are in here letting it hang out. You love to hear. 1419 01:15:29,320 --> 01:15:32,200 I don't know if they're picking up on the music on the Mikes, 1420 01:15:34,200 --> 01:15:36,200 but it's a club. It's a club atmosphere here. 1421 01:15:36,200 --> 01:15:37,960 It's fun. It's 11:30 in the morning. 1422 01:15:38,240 --> 01:15:41,920 It's a lot of like run clubs will end here and do fun stuff. 1423 01:15:41,920 --> 01:15:43,920 I think this is a great spot. I mean, if you're not here 1424 01:15:43,920 --> 01:15:46,440 tomorrow, you're not anywhere. You're nobody. 1425 01:15:46,640 --> 01:15:48,080 You're you're here or you're nobody. 1426 01:15:48,080 --> 01:15:52,200 Just wait until tomorrow and we've got Dakota Propane leading 1427 01:15:52,200 --> 01:15:55,520 the pack of the top Americans coming through at sub 220 pace. 1428 01:15:56,080 --> 01:15:57,160 It's going to be great. It's going. 1429 01:15:57,680 --> 01:16:01,760 To be big, I don't think we need to predict who we think the top 1430 01:16:01,760 --> 01:16:04,160 American man is going to be. I think what we're. 1431 01:16:04,560 --> 01:16:06,400 Going to predict. Casey Clinger. 1432 01:16:06,400 --> 01:16:07,640 Casey Clinger. I think what we're going to do 1433 01:16:07,640 --> 01:16:10,000 is predict the time, right? That's kind of the more I think 1434 01:16:10,000 --> 01:16:16,160 that's the big question. Yeah, I think I said two O 447, 1435 01:16:18,240 --> 01:16:19,760 I think. I think he's going to get it. 1436 01:16:19,760 --> 01:16:23,320 I think he's going to get the record and the record by some 1437 01:16:23,320 --> 01:16:24,960 change. It's so yeah, it's a little bit 1438 01:16:24,960 --> 01:16:27,160 of refresher. 2O538 is the record. 1439 01:16:27,160 --> 01:16:29,960 Yeah, and the Canadian one. 2 seconds faster 30. 1440 01:16:30,000 --> 01:16:31,840 Seconds. And the North American record 1441 01:16:32,200 --> 01:16:37,160 is, yeah, is 2 seconds faster. Yeah. 1442 01:16:38,320 --> 01:16:41,280 I think he's, I think he's gonna go out there and really put on a 1443 01:16:41,280 --> 01:16:44,440 great performance. I think he gets it. 1444 01:16:44,440 --> 01:16:45,640 I think he gets it by some change. 1445 01:16:45,640 --> 01:16:45,920 Yeah. And. 1446 01:16:46,160 --> 01:16:49,840 I think it's also worth noting with this is Ryan Hall's fastest 1447 01:16:49,840 --> 01:16:55,000 ever ever on Boston is 2/04/58. It's faster. 1448 01:16:55,280 --> 01:16:57,320 Is it or is it 458? I think it might. 1449 01:16:57,320 --> 01:16:59,160 Yeah, it could be faster. I know it's two O 4. 1450 01:16:59,360 --> 01:17:01,960 Because that was also on Boston, so it's not the official record, 1451 01:17:01,960 --> 01:17:05,240 but that's the fastest American American marathon ever run by 1452 01:17:05,240 --> 01:17:05,960 American. So he's. 1453 01:17:05,960 --> 01:17:08,080 Smashing that as. Well, that's also Conor getting. 1454 01:17:08,080 --> 01:17:10,440 Under, Yep, yeah. By that prediction. 1455 01:17:10,560 --> 01:17:11,960 By that prediction. I. 1456 01:17:14,000 --> 01:17:15,920 American Best and. That's what should count. 1457 01:17:15,920 --> 01:17:17,920 It should always just be the American best. 1458 01:17:18,120 --> 01:17:20,680 Yeah, sounds very American. Yeah. 1459 01:17:21,560 --> 01:17:24,440 I, I think this is going to be an Emily Sisson situation. 1460 01:17:24,440 --> 01:17:28,520 Like when she broke Kira d'amato's American record, I 1461 01:17:28,520 --> 01:17:31,240 think she smashed it too. Like it was like 40 seconds or, 1462 01:17:31,440 --> 01:17:36,040 and change. I went 2/04/55. 1463 01:17:36,880 --> 01:17:38,680 So I think, I think he gets there. 1464 01:17:39,680 --> 01:17:45,920 I think that's, I, I don't think he's planning to run 20536. 1465 01:17:45,920 --> 01:17:47,600 Do you know what I mean? Like I, I think this is what 1466 01:17:47,600 --> 01:17:49,680 he's going for. Well then he doesn't. 1467 01:17:49,720 --> 01:17:51,880 He just ties the North American record. 1468 01:17:51,880 --> 01:17:54,520 So he's definitely not planning the 20536. 1469 01:17:54,840 --> 01:18:00,880 Yeah, yeah, I went 20439, which I should have given him the 1470 01:18:00,880 --> 01:18:04,120 extra second just so he gets the record by a full minute. 1471 01:18:05,160 --> 01:18:09,600 But I like the way he's just built his season, like every 1472 01:18:09,600 --> 01:18:14,280 race has been so good with the back-to-back American records in 1473 01:18:14,280 --> 01:18:17,640 the half in Houston and New York, great day in Boston. 1474 01:18:17,640 --> 01:18:21,240 And then all the like smaller, like shorter races he's been 1475 01:18:21,240 --> 01:18:24,760 doing like Boulder, Boulder Beach to beacon US20K champs. 1476 01:18:24,760 --> 01:18:27,680 Like it's just been hit after hit after hit for him. 1477 01:18:29,400 --> 01:18:34,320 And I just, yeah, it's like we've talked about he ran faster 1478 01:18:34,320 --> 01:18:37,040 than the American record on a tougher course in Boston. 1479 01:18:38,000 --> 01:18:40,720 This course. He's he's run well here before, 1480 01:18:40,880 --> 01:18:42,960 but it's kind of the same situation as Dakota where like 1481 01:18:42,960 --> 01:18:46,080 he ran here in 2023. He didn't run here last year 1482 01:18:46,080 --> 01:18:48,200 because he ran the Olympics and then New York. 1483 01:18:50,040 --> 01:18:54,160 And I think he's ready to absolutely smash that PB and in 1484 01:18:54,160 --> 01:18:57,240 the course get the, I'm going to say area record. 1485 01:18:57,240 --> 01:19:01,200 I think he's beating Rory too. Oh, so do you. 1486 01:19:01,200 --> 01:19:04,520 Think they work together at all? They've, they were say, I mean, 1487 01:19:04,640 --> 01:19:06,560 Rory said. They're basically going for the 1488 01:19:06,560 --> 01:19:09,120 exact same time, you know, 2 BYU grads. 1489 01:19:09,120 --> 01:19:11,600 I think they were together. They were on that team for two 1490 01:19:11,600 --> 01:19:14,160 years together, I think. Have known each other since like 1491 01:19:14,160 --> 01:19:17,280 freshman year, yeah. Yeah, well, Connor said he's 1492 01:19:17,280 --> 01:19:19,600 been the first time he raced Rory. 1493 01:19:19,600 --> 01:19:23,120 He was 14. So they've known each other for 1494 01:19:23,120 --> 01:19:25,320 basically longer than they haven't. 1495 01:19:26,920 --> 01:19:30,320 And I think they're they're going to be working together 1496 01:19:30,320 --> 01:19:33,560 probably for at least the first, like I don't like 20 miles or 1497 01:19:33,560 --> 01:19:35,360 something. And then one of them is going to 1498 01:19:35,360 --> 01:19:37,240 try and make a move to break the other one. 1499 01:19:37,240 --> 01:19:39,880 But it's, it's going to be really, really fun to see 1500 01:19:39,880 --> 01:19:40,720 regardless. Yeah. 1501 01:19:41,400 --> 01:19:44,200 I love how close we all are on these. 1502 01:19:44,360 --> 01:19:46,640 Like I, I mean, we all want it to happen. 1503 01:19:46,640 --> 01:19:48,800 We want to see it go down. It's really exciting. 1504 01:19:49,040 --> 01:19:52,280 Connor has had a great build. I I don't think we've seen any. 1505 01:19:53,360 --> 01:19:55,400 Let me knock on wood here. And injury is going into this 1506 01:19:55,400 --> 01:19:57,680 one like he typically does, like he usually has some sort of 1507 01:19:58,000 --> 01:19:59,040 niggle. Yeah. 1508 01:19:59,280 --> 01:20:01,640 He he did say he's been completely healthy coming into 1509 01:20:01,640 --> 01:20:04,960 this one. I love how Connor just gets 1510 01:20:04,960 --> 01:20:09,040 after these races. When we were in Houston, all the 1511 01:20:09,040 --> 01:20:11,400 Americans, and it wasn't just Joe, it was all of the Americans 1512 01:20:11,400 --> 01:20:13,680 were talking about, oh, we're going to go with the pace no 1513 01:20:13,680 --> 01:20:15,120 matter what. We're going to go with the pace 1514 01:20:15,120 --> 01:20:17,520 no matter what. Like we're all going to send it. 1515 01:20:18,000 --> 01:20:19,920 He was the only American to actually go. 1516 01:20:20,080 --> 01:20:23,240 Like he's the only one that kind of really stacks up and and does 1517 01:20:23,240 --> 01:20:26,720 it a lot of the time. And it's just it's so 1518 01:20:26,720 --> 01:20:28,840 commendable. And I, as a fan, I just 1519 01:20:28,840 --> 01:20:30,920 absolutely love watching him run because he just sends it every 1520 01:20:30,920 --> 01:20:33,440 single time. Really rooting for him. 1521 01:20:33,480 --> 01:20:35,560 And yeah, I'm I'm right with you guys. 1522 01:20:36,520 --> 01:20:40,320 Of course, my buttons not working here, but where are we? 1523 01:20:40,560 --> 01:20:41,360 There we are. Yeah. 1524 01:20:41,360 --> 01:20:43,480 Two O 457. This. 1525 01:20:43,520 --> 01:20:49,320 Week. Going to be right here, yeah. 1526 01:20:49,760 --> 01:20:52,680 But yeah, I think he gets under 2O5 and it's going to. 1527 01:20:52,800 --> 01:20:56,480 I really hope it stays cool enough for him and that he just 1528 01:20:56,480 --> 01:20:58,680 hangs, hangs together over the last few miles. 1529 01:20:58,680 --> 01:21:01,960 It's going to be fun. Is Rory with? 1530 01:21:02,080 --> 01:21:04,880 Does he train with him? No, he Rory's in Flagstaff. 1531 01:21:04,880 --> 01:21:08,480 OK. But yeah, we're all pretty 1532 01:21:08,480 --> 01:21:10,680 confident. Sub two O 5 yeah. 1533 01:21:12,640 --> 01:21:15,120 I think one more thing to kind of note about Connor is like, 1534 01:21:15,120 --> 01:21:18,880 you know, we've seen him be willing to like stick his nose 1535 01:21:18,880 --> 01:21:22,400 into the lead pack sometimes, but he's very aware, like in 1536 01:21:22,400 --> 01:21:26,960 this race, the goal of Kip limo and career is not what he's 1537 01:21:26,960 --> 01:21:31,040 going for. He did say there is like he has 1538 01:21:31,040 --> 01:21:35,600 a target time through half. If the lead pack is within one 1539 01:21:35,600 --> 01:21:39,480 second per mile of his target time, he'll stick with them. 1540 01:21:39,480 --> 01:21:41,400 But if it's anything other than that, he's just going to let 1541 01:21:41,400 --> 01:21:45,160 them go. So like it probably is a weird 1542 01:21:45,400 --> 01:21:48,560 like mentality for him coming into this one of like knowing 1543 01:21:49,280 --> 01:21:51,400 like I feel like this is the first race in Ohio where he's 1544 01:21:51,400 --> 01:21:57,720 not necessarily racing to win. Like he's just directly chasing 1545 01:21:57,720 --> 01:21:59,880 a time. I guess maybe that was the case 1546 01:21:59,880 --> 01:22:04,000 in like one of the halves where it was very clearly an American 1547 01:22:04,000 --> 01:22:05,600 record attempt and he just kind of ended up. 1548 01:22:05,600 --> 01:22:08,560 Running. But yeah, so that's kind of just 1549 01:22:08,560 --> 01:22:10,320 a different mentality, but it seems like it's one that 1550 01:22:10,320 --> 01:22:14,520 Connor's, like, very conscious of and he's not letting anything 1551 01:22:14,560 --> 01:22:17,960 like he's not going to let the temptation of like, oh, maybe I 1552 01:22:17,960 --> 01:22:20,800 could get a little bit more prize money if I finish, like 1553 01:22:20,800 --> 01:22:24,480 5th instead of if I run just like a more steady race. 1554 01:22:25,200 --> 01:22:26,520 Yeah. As you say that though, 1555 01:22:26,520 --> 01:22:31,160 historically if he is going to run 204 or even 205 flat, it's 1556 01:22:31,160 --> 01:22:35,360 around 3rd or 4th place over the last like 3 or 4 years like 2:05 1557 01:22:35,360 --> 01:22:39,320 or 2:04, whatever. Like it's around third place in 1558 01:22:39,320 --> 01:22:42,000 this race. So he is going to have to be up 1559 01:22:42,000 --> 01:22:43,920 there. And that might be challenging 1560 01:22:43,920 --> 01:22:47,360 because those top two places might be out in front and there 1561 01:22:47,360 --> 01:22:51,160 might be a little bit of no man's land if everyone isn't 1562 01:22:51,160 --> 01:22:53,320 having their best day. Or like, you know, for just 1563 01:22:53,320 --> 01:22:56,560 guessing that if if Connor ends up running the American record, 1564 01:22:56,800 --> 01:22:58,920 there's a chance that there aren't actually that many people 1565 01:22:58,920 --> 01:23:02,840 around him because not everyone is going to have their best day. 1566 01:23:03,080 --> 01:23:06,320 So just, yeah, just keep that in mind. 1567 01:23:06,320 --> 01:23:09,160 If he is going to run that fast, he is, he's kind of have to 1568 01:23:09,160 --> 01:23:13,120 finish in the top five. Either way, he's going to be the 1569 01:23:13,120 --> 01:23:18,640 top American man to watch. I Yeah, I I was going to say, I 1570 01:23:18,640 --> 01:23:22,720 feel like that kind of. Does addiction does it come join 1571 01:23:22,720 --> 01:23:26,560 us tomorrow It we're and so let's see the the gun time for 1572 01:23:26,560 --> 01:23:30,000 the elites go off.

We deal with this every single 1591 01:24:20,360 --> 01:24:22,360 year. It's not ESPN, it's not like big 1592 01:24:22,360 --> 01:24:25,080 time NBC Peacock.

So it's not, I'm not going to 1594 01:24:27,960 --> 01:24:31,360 say it's not the best, but they're doing what they can out 1595 01:24:31,360 --> 01:24:33,360 there.
