Cooper Lutkenhaus, just 17 years old, became the youngest world champion in World Indoor Championships history, winning the men's 800 in Toruń, Poland — on spring break. His coach Chris Capeau joined the show live to break down the race tactics and what makes Cooper different. Keely Hodgkinson dominated the women's 800 in 1:55.3, then stunned with a 50.1 anchor on Britain's 4x400. Georgia Hunter Bell claimed 1500 gold, capping a historic day for British distance running. East Africa went home without a single distance medal, and Mariano Garcia pulled off a brilliant wire-to-wire 1500 win for Spain.https://www.letsrun.com/subscribe

The show is hosted by LetsRun.com co-founders Weldon Johnson, a 2-time Team USA member, and Robert Johnson, a former Cornell coach who helped pace the marathon world record, along with award-winning senior writer Jonathan Gault.

The 2026 Chicago Marathon is stacked with storylines. On the men's side, Vinny Mauri, a former shoe store employee who ran 2:05 alone at Toledo, has gone viral for jaw-dropping treadmill workouts at Planet Fitness, fueling American record hopes. Rojo sparks heated debate by arguing the US has zero legitimate marathon title contenders despite record depth. The women's field is historically loaded with 12 sub-2:20 runners, led by former world record holder Brigid Kosgei and two-time Boston winner Sharon Lokedi, who's running her first flat marathon. The crew also breaks down Jacob Kiplimo's chances, weather concerns that could derail fast times, and whether super shoes benefit women more than men.
Tigst Assefa was on world record pace at the Berlin Marathon before an Achilles injury derailed her final two kilometers. She still limped home in 2:11:04, the third-fastest women's marathon ever, and underwent surgery within hours.
Emma Grace Hurley joins the podcast after the race of her life: a 66:23 half marathon PB at the World Road Running Championships in Copenhagen, good for fifth place and a historic team silver medal for the US women. She breaks down her race strategy, the chaotic Atlanta trials where she was led off course in the final mile, and why she chose the half marathon over the 5K.
