It's New York City Marathon weekend! Rory and Jacob are joined by two-time NYC Marathon top-10 finisher Scott Fauble to break down the course, preview the elite fields, and make their picks for race day.
Before diving into New York, Jacob recaps his 62:00 half marathon PR in Valencia and the financial side of professional running.
Scott shares his best advice for tackling NYC's notoriously challenging course, why patience matters more than pace, and how the super shoe era has completely changed marathon racing. They also debate Andreas Almgren's highly anticipated marathon debut, break down the top contenders, and share their predictions for Sunday's race.
Plus, Scott catches everyone up on life after professional running, his new role at Avelo Running, and his latest goal of breaking five minutes in the mile.
