Rojo’s USA Indoor Victory Tour, Chelimo vs Lomong, Cheptegei’s World 5k Record, Does Walmsley have a shot at Trials?
The best pro running podcast on the planet
USA indoors are in the books and Rojo starts with an ego pumping victory tour on his predictions. Then we discuss the the Bowerman Track Club success at the meet (and others not showing up), before weighing in on the biggest instagram feud in track and field: who won Paul Chelimo or **Lopez Lomong?**
Mondo and Joshua Cheptegei got world records, the NAU men are killing it and does Jim Walmsley really have a shot at the Trials?
We’ve got a special nearly 1 hour podcast with Jim that dropped yesterday here.
