NCAAs & NY Champ Abdi Nageeye (Guest) + Jon & Wejo Go to Vegas Virtually with Noah Lyles, Hobbs Kessler, More

It's NCAA week and the Parker Wolfe and Graham Blanks shirts are in the LetsRun store. Get yours today.

New York City Marathon champion Abdi Nageeye joins us at 62:32 to discuss his NYC triumph, his incredible life and career, has a book recommendation, and oh yeah tells that crazy story when he quit the track and the cops were called to Mo Farah's house.

Prior to that we break down the latest in the running and track and field world and look ahead to this week's NCAA championships.

Jacob Kiplimo broke the 15k world record (and we forgot to discuss it :), Gabby Thomas got USATF athlete of the year over Sydney, and Jon and Weldon went to Las Vegas virtually with Noah Lyles, Rai Benjamin, Bryce Hoppel, Nico Young, Jasmine Jones, and Hobbs Kessler. We discuss all of that, and Grand Slam Track's 4 locations before Abdi Nageeye joins the show.
