With the fall marathon majors officially wrapped up, it's time to start looking ahead to the next U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials.
In this special bonus crossover episode, Out and Back co-host Rory Linkletter joins Chris Chavez of CITIUS MAG to break down their early power rankings of American marathoners on both the men's and women's sides. They discuss who's making a strong case for a spot near the top, which athletes could shake up the rankings, and how the road to the Trials is starting to take shape.
Jacob sits this one out as an American marathoner himself, but he's hoping he made the list. And with CIM still on the calendar, there's plenty of time for these rankings to change.
We'll be back Sunday with our regularly scheduled episode!
