What it is
Two former Olympic teammates talk through the week in pro running: marathon majors, Diamond League meets, doping cases and the arguments runners are having online. Each episode mixes that news with personal catch-up and the hosts' own racing. It suits listeners who follow elite results and want them discussed by people who raced at that level.
Why listen
- Post-race episodes recorded within hours of the Boston, Chicago and NYC marathons, sometimes with a podium finisher on the line.
- First-hand race reports from Des Linden's own events, including the Marathon des Sables and her first 100-miler at Javelina Jundred.
- Kara Goucher brings a broadcaster's view from calling the world feed at big-city marathons and track meets.
