The crew debates his chances, Cole Hocker's potential spoiler role, and whether the Bowerman Mile at Pre could see the record fall first. In Australia, 19-year-old Cam Myers ran 3:30 for 1500m, demolishing world indoor medalist Adam Spencer by seven seconds. Shelby Houlihan didn't come close to Alicia Monson's American record at 10,000m but was still a pretty decent run. A Rojo Rant erupts over the Berlin Half Marathon, where pacer Dennis Kipkemoi was seemingly told not to win after bridging past leader Andrea Kiptoo. Plus, details emerge on Adaejah Hodge's secret 17-month doping ban and the AIU's controversial use of silent suspensions. 🎁 🎧 Get a 2nd LetsRun podcast every week + bonus content: Join the Supporters Club — https://www.letsrun.com/subscribe LINKS Flagstaff Coaching Clinic (sponsor)Josh Kerr Announces Project 222 Targeting 3:42 Mile World Record at London DLBerlin Generali Half Marathon — Dennis Kipkemoi Pacing ControversyShelby Houlihan Wins The Ten in 30:50Tate Taylor Runs 9.92 at Texas 6A State MeetGout Gout vs Lachlan Kennedy 200m at Maurie Plant MeetGout Gout Viral Sprint VideoThread of the Week: Jude Ritzenhein Runs 4:10.95 1600m as a Ninth Grader at Altitude TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Flagstaff Coaching Clinic 00:39 Aletheia Sponsor01:38 Episode Preview and NCAA Tournament Chat07:28 Josh Kerr Announces Project 22213:28 Brooks Speed Suit and Record Logistics18:07 Can Cole Hocker Crash the Party?25:26 Niels Laros Injury Update and the Mile's Future28:53 Cam Myers Puts On a Show in Melbourne30:57 Hobbs Kessler and Teen Phenom Expectations35:44 Gout Gout, Texas Sprinting, and Young Phenoms43:34 Rojo Rant: Berlin Half Marathon Scandal49:48 Should Pacers Be Allowed to Win?53:31 Integrity of Competition and Rabbit Ethics59:09 Shelby Houlihan's 10K and US Women's Distance Depth62:58 Adaejah Hodge's Secret Doping Ban68:06 Silent Bans and Anti-Doping Transparency72:58 Youth Doping Crisis and Unanswered Questions76:35 Previewing the Top US Runners for 202678:54 Outro and Supporters Club CONTACT Email: podcast@letsrun.comCall or text: 1-844-LETSRUN (1-844-538-7786) ABOUT THE LETSRUN.COM PODCAST Since 2000, LetsRun.com has been the independent home of elite running.

    Josh Kerr outmaneuvered Cole Hocker to take the men's 3000 and claim his third world title, throwing Hocker's signature celebration back at him. Cooper Lutkenhaus dominated his 800m semifinal with the fastest time at World Indoors since 1997, positioning the 17-year-old Texan as a legitimate gold medal threat. Sprint upsets rocked the straightaways as Julien Alfred and Trey Cunningham both fell short of expectations. Simon Ehammer broke Ashton Eaton's heptathlon world record, while Emily Mackay delivered a stunning silver in the women's 3000m and Nadia Battocletti got gold.

    Kiplimo's 57:20 World Record, Grant Fisher's debut, LA Marathon chaos & Fred Kerley's state of affairs
    Mar 11 2026

    The LA Marathon delivered the closest finish in race history but controversy erupted when video revealed leader Michael Kamau avoiding a spectator on the course followed a lead vehicle off course and ending us losing $15,000 by the slimmest of margins. Jacob Kiplimo cemented his half marathon dominance with a 57:20 world record in Lisbon without a pacer, and the crew debates whether runners without Olympic track gold can be considered all-time greats. Grant Fisher makes his much-anticipated half marathon debut at the NYC Half on Sunday, Fred Kerley's two-year whereabouts ban is officially confirmed , and Michael Johnson faces fraud allegations as Grand Slam Track's bankruptcy heats up.
