Aisha Praught-Leer calls in from Los Angeles before heading to the LA Grand Prix as Eric Jenkins is in New Hampshire fresh off a 38-minute performance at the Market Square Day 10K.
Discussed in this episode:
– Sports overload: The Knicks, the World Cup, the Stanley Cup, NCAAs, Oslo, Love Island — all happening at the same time.
– World Cup vibes: Aisha became a soccer fan in Leuven in 2014 — the Belgian square packing out for games got her.
– Betty Bossard almost becomes a guest
– Eric's Market Square Day 10K
– A tribute to Ciarán O'Lionaird, an Irish miler and former OTC teammate of Aisha's. Big hugs to everyone who knew him. Rest in peace.
– Oslo Diamond League – Timothy Cheruiyot wins the Dream Mile in a photo finish over Yared Nuguse — both 3:48.21 / Cooper Lutkenhaus beats Wanyoni in 1:42.08. World lead, personal best, third on the all-time American list behind Bryce Hoppel (1:41.67) and Josh Hoey (1:42.01) / Gout Gout's off day in Oslo was sixth place, about a second slower than his Aussie Champs form / a good showing for the American men in the 5000m with Parker Wolfe 12:49.45, Grant Fisher 12:49.61, Graham Blanks 12:49.99
– NCAA Championships — Hayward Field record apocalypse
– Backwards hat trend: Habtom Samuel has started something
– Gudaf Tsegay's four-month ban: Letrozole — a fertility drug and aromatase inhibitor — found in a sample. Her statement: pregnant, prescribed by a doctor, pregnancy progressing perfectly, she simply didn't file the TUE paperwork.
– LA Grand Prix – Parker Valby ran 14:39 for a PB in the 5000m. Nikki Hiltz wins an 800m in 1:59.14 over Klaudia Kązmierska. Ethan Strand won the men's 1500m in 3:33.
– Voicemails include: Circus Circus horror story; the perfect Costco birthday party; why 800 meters are front-loaded while longer distances run even splits and who from the CITIUS team would you fight on the White House lawn .
