    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
    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.

  • Nico For the Win, Hoey & Brazier, NCAAs + Grand Slam Track LA Cancelled
    Jun 17 2025

    What a week. Nico Young blasted a 12:45 to get the huge win in Oslo, while Josh Hoey went 1:42, Donavan Brazier 1:43, and Andreas Almgren (a "random" Swede) went 12:44.

    Plus NCAA stars were born, the Gjert Ingebrigtsen trial ended, and Grand Slam Track may be over as well.
