| 6/12/26 | ![]() ADAEJAH HODGE’S 10.63 SHATTERS NCAA 100M RECORD, MERCYLINE KIRWA BEATS JANE HEDEGREN IN 10K, FASTEST 800M PRELIMS EVER + MORE | Georgia freshman Adaejah Hodge did her best to put Ja’Kobe Tharp’s historic hurdles race out of viewers minds today on Day 2 of the NCAA NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships. In the 100m, Hodge shattered Sha’Carri Richardson’s collegiate record with a 10.63 clocking, becoming the fifth-fastest woman ever in the process. A few hours later, she scorched the track again, leading all 200m qualifiers in 21.96, equalling the fastest single-day double in history.In the 10,000m final, Iowa Stare freshman Mercyline Kirwa pulled off an incredible upset over Pamela Kosgei and Jane Hedengren, closing in 61.84 to win the NCAA title for the Cyclones. Hedengren, who finished third, will race again in Saturday’s 5000m final.The women’s 800m prelims featured the fastest rounds we’ve ever seen, with 1:59.93 being required just to make the final. All of the 1500m favorites qualified, setting up the final we’ve all been waiting for. Akala Garrett, Aaliyah McCormick and Dejanea Oakley all posted fast qualifying times ahead of Saturday’s finals.In the field, Amanda Moll established a new collegiate record in the outdoor pole vault at 4.84m, while Axelina Johansson (Shot put) and Alyssa Jones (Long jump) both notched championship records on their way to a title. Ben Barton (Decathlon), Elisabet Rut Runarsdottir (Hammer), and McKyla Van der Westhuizen (Javelin) all earned wins as well.____________Host: Paul Hof-Mahoney | @phofmahoneyProduced by: Jasmine Fehr | @jasminefehr | — | ||||||
| 6/11/26 | ![]() Agnes Ngetich On The Difficult Life & Upbringing That Made Her The World Record-Setting Runner She Is | My guest for today’s episode is Agnes Ngetich: the 10,000m world record holder on the road, the reigning World Cross Country champion, and one of the most compelling athletes in distance running right now. She is 25 years old. She grew up in rural Kenya, lost her father to cancer at 10, and spent much of her adolescence working on farms and carrying bags of charcoal to help feed her family. She missed school to earn money. She showed up to race barefoot and hungry anyway.A coach named Ruth Bundotich saw something in her at 14 and opened a door. From that point, the progression has been relentless: junior titles in Kenya, an African Championships silver, a World U20 bronze, and then the slow build toward the longer distances where she now lives.In 2024 in Valencia, she ran 28:46 for 10 kilometers on the road — the first woman ever under 29 minutes — a record she had to earn three times: once on a course that turned out to be 25 meters short, once in atrocious weather in Lille where she fell eight seconds shy, and finally in Valencia where it was made official. In January 2026, she won the World Cross Country title in Tallahassee by 42 seconds — the second-largest winning margin in the history of the event.Last weekend here in New York, she came back after getting hypothermia at the United NYC Half in March and ran a course record 30:07 at the Mini 10K, blasting the first mile in 4:47 and pulling away from Hellen Obiri before the race was even a kilometer in.In this conversation that we recorded while she was in town, we dive into her childhood, the coach who changed her life, getting to the point of running world records, her World Cross Country dominance, what she thinks of the marathon and more.____________Host: Chris Chavez | @chris_j_chavezGuest: Agnes Ngetich | @jebet.agnesProduced by: Jasmine Fehr | @jasminefehr____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSXENDURANCE: Xendurance Protein is designed specifically to help your body recover, rebuild, and get stronger after training.

| 6/11/26 | ![]() JA’KOBE THARP RUNS 110H WORLD RECORD, HABTOM SAMUEL RECLAIMS 10K TITLE, DISTANCE FAVORITES MAKE IT THROUGH PRELIMS + MORE | The first day of the 2026 NCAA Championships delivered in many ways, the biggest of which came in the form of Ja’Kobe Tharp’s 110mH world record. The Auburn junior navigated the barrier in 12.75 seconds, breaking Aries Merritt’s 14-year-old mark of 12.80. Tharp’s record led the charge for an incredible day for the Tigers, which also featured three qualifiers in the 100m and a 4x100m collegiate record. In the evening’s only track final, New Mexico’s Habtom Samuel reclaimed the 10,000m title, winning a race reminiscent of a fartlek in 27:51.31. In other prelim action, distance favorites like Simeon Birnbaum, Gary Martin, Colin Sahlman, and the Arkansas 800m duo of Tyrice Taylor and Rivaldo Marshall all easily qualified for Friday’s finals.Five more titles were handed out in the field, with Angelos Mantzouranis (Hammer), Dyson Wicker (Pole vault), Chinecherem Prosper Nnamdi (Javelin), Tafadzwa Chikomba (Long jump), and Ben Smith (Shot put) all earning top podium spots.____________Host: Paul Hof-Mahoney | @phofmahoneyProduced by: Jasmine Fehr | @jasminefehr | — | ||||||
| 6/8/26 | ![]() This Week In Track & Field: Audrey Werro Stuns Keely Hodgkinson With 3rd Fastest 800m All-Time; Cooper Lutkenhaus Wins Diamond League Debut, Yared Nuguse Gets His Swagger Back + Stockholm & Rome Recap | Chris Chavez, Preet Majithia, and Mac Fleet unpack the best week of the 2026 outdoor season with Rome and Stockholm delivering back-to-back historic performances.Discussed in this episode:– Audrey Werro’s 1:53.98: The third-fastest woman in 800-meter history, only the third woman ever under 1:54, beats Olympic champion Keely Hodgkinson (1:54.33 personal best, British record) in Stockholm. Historical context: the two women ahead of her — Kratochvílová (1:53.28, 1983) and Olizarenko (1:53.43, 1980) — are from countries that no longer exist and from the peak of the Eastern Bloc doping era. Many can regard Werro’s 1:53.98 as the de facto clean world record.– Cooper Lutkenhaus wins the Stockholm men’s 800 in 1:42.7: Diamond League debut. 17 years old. Junior year of high school in Texas. Beats Marco Arop (1:43.11), the former world champion and fourth-fastest man in history.– Mondo loses: First defeat since July 2023. 44-meet winning streak snapped– Noah Lyles wins the Rome 100m in 9.88: Noah typically builds slowly in the 100, but 9.88 is early and good. Jordan Anthony faded to fourth after looking promising at 60m.– Women’s 200 landscape: Gabby Thomas runs 21.7 at the Lone Star Grand Prix in College Station — third fastest of her career; ulien Alfred has already run 21.86 in Rome, beating Melissa Jefferson-Wooden (her first loss in over a year). MJW bounced back in Stockholm with a 100m win and 10.84. If Shericka Jackson stays healthy, she’s probably the pick.– Tate Taylor, 19.97: The second American high schooler to break 20 seconds in the 200. Hear Preet’s full objection to the concept of high school records as a category– Looking ahead: LA Grand Prix this weekend. NCAA Championships in Eugene — Mac’s pick is Simeon Birnbaum in the 1500, though Carter Cutting will be right there.____________Hosts: Chris Chavez | @chris_j_chavez + Preet Majithia | @preet_athletics + Mac Fleet | @macfleetProduced by: Jasmine Fehr | @jasminefehr____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSXENDURANCE: Xendurance Protein is designed specifically to help your body recover, rebuild, and get stronger after training.

| 6/1/26 | ![]() Meet Sam Blaskowski: The D3 Kid Who Just Ran 9.89 For 100m | “Every day you go through these mental battles — how do I keep going? You’re in a sport where you don’t just leave college and start making a million dollars. You just got to build yourself, almost by yourself.”My guest for today’s episode is Sam Blaskowski. Not a ton of you probably knew his name before this weekend. At the Music City Track Carnival in Cleveland, Tennessee last Saturday, he ran 9.89 seconds in the 100m: a wind-legal personal best that shaved 0.16 off his previous mark of 10.05, making him the fastest American of 2026 so far, and putting him at number two in the world this season. He skipped the 9.90s entirely.Sam is 23 years old. He grew up in Wisconsin, went to the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse — a Division III program where his grandparents live a mile from the stadium and both his parents went to school — and graduated without ever contemplating leaving for a Division I program. He has 11 individual NCAA D3 titles. He spent the off-season working at a small regional airport to save money for his move to Florida, where he now trains with Star Athletics under Dennis Mitchell alongside Kenny Bednarek, Sha’Carri Richardson, and Melissa Jefferson-Wooden. This is his first season with the group.The headline that took over the internet is that he is now the fastest white man in history, breaking Christophe Lemaître’s 9.92 from 2011. Sam’s own take on what he’d rather people focus on: he’s number two in the world right now. That’s the story he wants told.In this conversation, recorded just 48 hours after the race, Sam walks us through the full arc: the soccer and swimming background, YMCA YouTube tutorials during COVID, and the steady year-over-year drops from 10.29 to 10.13 to 10.09 to 10.05 to 9.89. We also get into what his college coach Matt Gordy unlocked in him and what Star Athletics has done to fix the back half of his race.____________Host: Chris Chavez | @chris_j_chavezGuest: Sam Blaskowski | @samblaskowskiProduced by: Jasmine Fehr | @jasminefehr____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSXENDURANCE: When you finish a hard workout, the work isn't actually done.

| 5/28/26 | ![]() Emma Grace Hurley On Her Breakout 2025 & 2026 Seasons, Making Team USA For World Road Running Championships, Breaking An American Record + Anticipation For Her Marathon Debut | “By the time we get there, I don’t think we’ll leave any stone unturned for the first one. There’s still room to grow, but I do think I’ll be very ready.”My guest for today’s episode is Emma Grace Hurley: an ASICS athlete and one of the most consistent American road racers of the last two years. She trains under Andrew and Amy Begley at Heartland Track Club in Indianapolis, and in 2026 she has already set the American Record at 8K (24:29 at the Shamrock Shuffle), won the USATF 10-Mile title at Cherry Blossom, won the 25K title at the Gate River Run and finished second at the USATF 5K Championships in her own city, running 15:00 flat to miss the sub-15 barrier by four-tenths of a second.She is also, as of this week, officially confirmed as one of the scoring members of the U.S. half marathon team for Copenhagen — one of the three athletes who were misdirected in the closing mile of the USATF Half Marathon Championships in Atlanta in March. World Athletics granted a special exception that will allow seven American women to compete, with Jess McClain, Emma Grace, and Ednah Kurgat as the scoring athletes alongside Weini Kelati. The top three official finishers — Molly Born, Carrie Ellwood, and Annie Rodenfels — will make their international debuts as non-scoring athletes.What makes Emma Grace one of the more interesting stories in American distance running right now is the shape of her career. She graduated from Furman in 2020 with a 15:57 5K personal best, quit running entirely, took a client associate job at JP Morgan, and did not think she was coming back to the sport. She is now a 15:00 road 5K runner, an 8K American record holder, a national 10-mile champion, and a two-event Worlds qualifier. She has not run a marathon yet — it’s happening this fall.In this conversation, recorded in Brooklyn, we get into all of it: what it actually took to bounce back after Atlanta and immediately set a national record three weeks later, why she doesn’t love the track but is a 15-flat road 5K runner, the Cherry Blossom 10-mile where she lost the overall by one second to a woman who finished seventh in the 10,000m at the Tokyo Olympics, the moment she finally felt like the long slow build was paying off, and what scares her most about the marathon block ahead.____________Host: Chris Chavez | @chris_j_chavezGuest: Emma Grace Hurley | @emmagracehurleyProduced by: Jasmine Fehr | @jasminefehr____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSXENDURANCE: Xendurance Protein is designed specifically to help your body recover, rebuild, and get stronger after training.

| 5/26/26 | ![]() How To Qualify For The 2027 World Championships: Beijing Qualifying System Explained | Emergency bonus episode triggered by World Athletics dropping the Beijing 2027 qualification system.Chris Chavez and Preet Majithia spend nearly an hour walking through every significant change in qualifying. The core shift: the hybrid model of entry standards plus world rankings is being tilted from a 50-50 split to 40% via entry standards and 60% via world rankings — achieved by making standards significantly tougher across nearly every event.The episode covers:– The four qualification pathways– The new wild card structure (including the unprecedented wild card for World Ultimate Champions)– Qualifying windows– Marathon specifics– The category requirement change that effectively ends NCAA-level meet qualifying– The political reality of getting into high-category meets,– Full distance standards breakdown– The impact on US collegiate athletes– The BU indoor ban and what the Dempsey loophole might be– The closure of the Ramona discus advantage– The women’s 10,000m standard correction– The end of the cross country qualifying route for 10,000m____________Hosts: Chris Chavez | @chris_j_chavez + Preet Majithia | @preet_athleticsProduced by: Jasmine Fehr | @jasminefehr____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSXENDURANCE: Xendurance Protein is designed specifically to help your body recover, rebuild, and get stronger after training.

Broke her own American record and missed Tobi Amusan’s world record of 12.12 by two hundredths; Collen Kebinatshipi running 43.92 for a world lead, now reportedly holding world leads in both the 100m and 400m simultaneously; Alison dos Santos is in arguably the best early-season form of his career; Abby Caldwell wins the women’s 1500 again in 3:57, making Australian Commonwealth Games selection very complicated; Yan Ziyi throws 71.74 in the javelin on her 18th birthday.– LA Track Fest: Parker Valby returns with her first race on the outdoor track in 19 months, winning the 5K in a 14:49 personal best; Brandon Miller wins the 800m over a stacked field, but Josh Kerr gave us data on where he’s at eight weeks out from his London mile world record attempt; Cooper Lutkenhaus runs his first 1500m at 17 years old and goes 3:45 + more results from LA.– This weekend: Bislett Games (Continental Tour), Rabat Diamond League on Sunday, and the Bandit Grand Prix at the Brooklyn Navy Yard in New York City on Saturday.____________Hosts: Chris Chavez | @chris_j_chavez + Kyle Merber | @kylemerberProduced by: Jasmine Fehr | @jasminefehr____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSXENDURANCE: Xendurance Protein is designed specifically to help your body recover, rebuild, and get stronger after training.

| 4/22/26 | ![]() Sara Hall On Writing “For the Love of the Grind” & The Most Painful Race Of Her Life At The 2026 Boston Marathon | “The biggest takeaway after writing the book was: I really believed in myself this whole time. For a long time, I thought of Ryan as a hero of my story. But I realized I’m actually the hero of my own story. I hope everyone feels that way.”My guest for today’s episode is Sara Hall — a 2:20 marathoner, the former American record holder in the half marathon, and the runner-up at the 2020 London Marathon, which remains the best performance by an American woman in that race since Deena Kastor’s win in 2006. She has been competing at the highest level of the sport for more than two decades, and somehow, at 43, she is running more marathons than ever.Sara just ran the Boston Marathon in 2:31:55 — her fifth marathon in six months — and one day after crossing that finish line, her debut memoir hit shelves. It’s called For the Love of the Grind, published by St. Martin’s Press. If you’re expecting a highlight reel of an athlete’s greatest moments, you’re going to be surprised. Sara goes into the doubt, the disordered eating, the ego, the psychedelics, the cost of ambition on the people she loves most, and what it actually took to keep believing in herself through two decades of professional running — through missed Olympic teams, the adjustment to the wave of super shoes hitting the sport and long injury stretches.The book opens with London 2020 — 21 loops outside Buckingham Palace, alone in the wind and rain, thinking about dropping out — and it uses that moment as a lens for everything that came before it and everything that followed. It is honest in ways that will catch you off guard and it makes the case that longevity in this sport is not just a physical story. It is a mental, emotional, and spiritual one, too.In this conversation, we talk about the writing process — her goals when she set out to do it, the imposter syndrome, and the decision to publish the book while she’s still competing rather than waiting for the career to be over. We get into her six-marathon stretch, what went so wrong in Boston after 16 miles of feeling great, and what it meant to watch her daughter Hana cross that same finish line on the same day.____________Buy “For the Love of the Grind: A Memoir” here.Find Sara’s upcoming book events here.____________Host: Chris Chavez | @chris_j_chavezGuest: Sara Hall | @sarahall3Produced by: Jasmine Fehr | @jasminefehr____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSWAHOO: With the Wahoo KICKR RUN, you can simulate the exact Boston or London Marathon course right in your own home.
