EPISODE SUMMARY
Ethan Strand won a Diamond League 1500 in Silesia, something Matthew Centrowitz, Cole Hocker, and Jessica Hull have never done. What does it mean?
World Athletics breaks its own qualification rules to engineer the Jakob Ingebrigtsen vs. Josh Kerr showdown at the World Ultimate Championships in Budapest.
Yomif Kejelcha runs 56:51 in Buenos Aires, but suspicious splits raise questions about whether the half marathon world record will be ratified. Rai Benjamin commits to a bold 400/400 hurdles double at World Ultimates, and the US men's middle distance dominance reaches historic levels.

ABOUT THE LETSRUN.COM PODCAST
Since 2000, LetsRun.com has been the independent home of elite running. Described by the New York Times as the "influential website that serves as something of a superego for American running," the podcast is the weekly deep dive into the world of track and field and elite distance running. The show is hosted by LetsRun.com co-founders Weldon Johnson, a 2-time Team USA member, and Robert Johnson, a former Cornell coach who helped pace the marathon world record, along with award-winning senior writer Jonathan Gault. Together they move beyond PR headlines to provide insider reporting and unfiltered debate serious fans rely on.
