Boston Marathon, Brown Track and Field Cancelled + Guest Tyler Andrews Goes for Treadmill World Record

The show goes on with the world mourning the murder of George Floyd and we start by paying our respects. We end with guest Tyler Andrews joining us (73:20) to talk the Chaski Challenge and his attempt to break the marathon and 50k treadmills world records, plus setting a Mount Everest base camp FKT. The last week saw the Boston Marathon cancelled and Brown University cut its men's track and field team, one of its most racially diverse sports, in the name of diversity. Plus Colleen Quigley won the ESPN Peloton Challenge, Johnny Gregorek ran a 4:06 mile in a pair of Levis, doping and Lance Armstrong talk and a new special segment where we get Hot Takes from a podcast listener with a cool name- Joe Fast (who will be running for Jason Vigilante at Princeton next year). John Kellogg is officially out of retirement and the LetsRun.com Summer Training Program is here. Designed for high school and college runners, the goal is to set you up for a fall and lifetime of success. Sign up here.
