On this episode, Chris and guest host Jacob Thomson broke down the Chicago Marathon elite field races. Jacob paced top American female Natosha Rogers from start to finish, so his insight from that experience, having many friends in the elite field, and being a 2:11 man himself was really great on this episode. We broke down the top finishers from the men's and women's races but largely focused on how the Americans fared as well. At the end, we had a few minutes to talk about Jacob's trying as he gears us for the US Marathon Champs at CIM, where he hopes to break 2:10 in the marathon. Enjoy! FOLLOW JACOB!
