In this episode of the Let'sRun Track Talk podcast, the Rojo, Wejo & Jon discuss the upcoming Chicago Marathon featuring Connor Mantz's attempt at breaking Khalid Khannouchi's American record of 2:05:38. Defending champion John Korir and world half marathon record holder Jacob Kiplimo will be competing in a highly anticipated men's field. Could Kelvin Kiptum's world record go down?

The episode also covers the Athlos women's meet in New York, highlighting the middle-distance events with stars like Keely Hodgkinson, Faith Kipyegon and Nikki Hiltz. Additionally, the team recaps their pre-Worlds fantasy draft and debates whether Cole Hocker is the greatest American distance runner ever. They also promote their upcoming bonus episode with Nick Thompson, CEO of The Atlantic, about his memoir and running experiences.
