Mega Pod - Pete Julian (Guest), Andrew Colley (Guest) - USAs, Lilac and Dreams

We've got a mega pod for you today as after breaking down the USA Cross Country Championships, an Aussie 16-year-old sensation, and Sha'Carri Richardson getting booted off a flight we've got 2 guests. First, Nike Union Athletics Club coach Pete Julian joins us at 92:24 to talk about this weekend's Lilac Grand Prix, a World Athletics Silver Label meet he is hosting ( viewing info here ), and to give us an update on the UAC and Donavan Brazier, Raevyn Rogers and Jordan Hasay. Plus he issues a challenge to Team New Balance. Then, Andrew Colley of Zap Endurance joins us at 2:23:49 and is our Where Your Dreams Become Reality athlete of the week after he finished 2nd at the USA XC Championships to make Team USA after 8 years in the running wilderness.
