    50th Pre Classicm, Athing Mu's Future, What about Laros, Kessler, & Hocker? Lyles vs Tebogo on Friday
    Jul 9 2025

    One final look at an amazing 50th Prefontaine Classic, highlighted by the world records of Beatrice Chebet and Faith Kipyegon, with the upset win in the Bowerman Mile by podcast listener Niels Laros.

    Athing Mu struggled? What does it mean? Cole Hocker and Yard Nuguse are looking good for Tokyo but what about Hobbs Kessler, Ethan Strand, and Nathan Green?

    And Monaco is Friday with Noah Lyles going head to head in the 200 vs Letsile Tebogo in a mouth watering match-up, plus a loaded men's 800. ** AG1 Next Gen is Here drinkag1.com** The supplement industry is a mess.

  • Kipyegon No Sub 4, RIP Bill Dellinger, Mile World Record at Pre?, Thompson 9.75

    Kipyegon No Sub 4, RIP Bill Dellinger, Mile World Record at Pre?, Thompson 9.75
    Jul 1 2025

    The LetsRun crew takes one final look at Faith Kipyegon's Breaking 4 attmempt. It came up short, but what does it mean? Why was her final time, not really her time?

    Kishane Thompson entered rare territory by running 9.75 & the 50th Prefontaine Classic is this weekend. Could the mile world record go?

    And Oregon legend Bill Dellinger has passed.

  • Sub-4 for Kipyegon? | Guests: Andreas Almgren & Dr. Mike Hahn | HS Phenom Go Wild

    Sub-4 for Kipyegon? | Guests: Andreas Almgren & Dr. Mike Hahn | HS Phenom Go Wild
    Jun 25 2025
    Is this the week we see the first sub-4:00 mile by a woman? We preview Faith Kipyegon’s historic attempt and dive deep into the science behind it with Dr. Mike Hahn of the Bowerman Sports Science Center & Wu Tsai Human Performance Alliance (1:01:42). We also chat with Andreas Almgren (1:43:40), fresh off his stunning 12:44 European record in the 5000m. He opens up about training, belief, and adapting Jakob Ingebrigtsen’s methods to reach the next level. We break down a ridiculous weekend in the men’s 1500 — two guys run 3:27 in Paris (Azeddine Habz & Phanuel Koech), and Cam Myers and Josh Hoey join the sub-3:30 club. On the U.S. high school front, the talent is exploding: Natalie Dumas pulls off an all-time triple, Cooper Lutkenhaus runs 1:45 as a sophomore, and more phenoms are emerging.
