What it is
Two former professional runners from CITIUS MAG talk through the week's track and road racing news alongside a lot of pop culture, gossip and life updates. Running stories such as doping cases, world records and championship meets sit next to tangents about concerts, pets and current events. It is for track fans who want news delivered as long, unscripted banter rather than analysis.
Why listen
- Two people who raced at the pro level react to the week's track results, doping news and governing-body decisions.
- A recent thread follows Eric Jenkins training for and running his first marathon in New York.
- Live episodes from Boston and Chicago marathon weekends, including guest Sharon Lokedi in Chicago.
