The fall marathon season just got set — and it's loaded. Sabastian Sawe is locked in for Berlin (Sept 27), Yomif Kejelcha is heading to Valencia (Dec 2) with a $1 million world-record bonus dangling, and Jacob Kiplimo is reportedly bound for Chicago.
Michael Doyle and Jessy Carveth break down the biggest stories in running from the past week — including a brewing criminal case at the Soweto Marathon, an American running 1,000 miles on a high school track, a tragic death at a Dutch half marathon that's reopened the youth distance-running debate, and a new study from 16 sports scientists naming Usain Bolt and Faith Kipyegon the greatest runners of all time. Plus, Jessy's "running revenge" tour continues with an impromptu 5K podium.
