#213 - Previewing Valencia Marathon (WR Alert?), USA XC Champs, & CIM

About This Episode

On this episode, Chris previews Valencia Marathon, USA Cross-Country Champs, and CIM! It is going to be a very fun weekend of racing! Valencia is pretty stacked on both sides. John Korir was a very exciting late addition to the men's field. Can him and Sisay Lemma push each other to the world record of 2:00:35 set by Kelvin Kiptum in 2023? The women's field is also stacked with 3 women under 2:17. USA XC Champs is very exciting because it is also serving as the trials for World XC Champs that are being held in January in Florida! A home World XC Champs? HYPE! We chat favorites to make the teams. Finally - we did a quick preview of CIM (California International Marathon) which is serving as the US Marathon Championships this year! There are some intriguing names in each field including several friends of the pod! Enjoy! Need a coach? Visit lisrunning.com !
