Jacob Kiplimo cemented his half marathon dominance with a 57:20 world record in Lisbon without a pacer, and the crew debates whether runners without Olympic track gold can be considered all-time greats. Grant Fisher makes his much-anticipated half marathon debut at the NYC Half on Sunday, Fred Kerley's two-year whereabouts ban is officially confirmed, and Michael Johnson faces fraud allegations as Grand Slam Track's bankruptcy heats up. 🎁 🎧 Get a 2nd LetsRun podcast every week + bonus content: Join the LetsRun.com Supporters Club Links LA Marathon crazy finish + leader Follows Lead Vehicle Off Course Jacob Kiplimo 57:20 Half Marathon World Record - Lisbon Grant Fisher 4x2 Mile Workout - Track All Access on YouTube Michael Johnson Accused of Fraud in Grand Slam Track Collapse (Front Office Sports by Margaret Fleming) Timestamps 00:00 Intro and Supporters Club 02:32 LA Marathon Sprint Finish and Leader Runs Off Course 13:30 What Went Wrong at the LA Marathon Finish 23:28 Kiplimo's Dominance and Half Marathon World Record 29:55 Barstool Sports Tweets Running and Kiplimo Goes Viral 37:20 Defining All-Time Greats Without Olympic Gold 39:12 Grant Fisher's NYC Half Marathon Debut Preview 40:13 Can Fisher Contend for the Win? 51:18 Fisher's Training Breakdown and Race Expectations 56:07 GPS Watches and Training Technology Evolution 61:57 LA Marathon's 18-Mile Finisher Medal Controversy 66:38 Fred Kerley's Two-Year Ban and Enhanced Games 82:21 NCAA Indoor Championships Preview 85:48 Grand Slam Track Fraud Allegations Contact us Email: podcast@letsrun.com Call or text: 1-844-LETSRUN (1-844-538-7786) About the LetsRun.com Podcast Since 2000, LetsRun.com has been the independent home of elite running.
