  • Nico Young on his road debut, 2026 big plans, extra workout & World Ultimate Champs

    Nico Young on his road debut, 2026 big plans, extra workout & World Ultimate Champs
    May 2 2026

    Nico Young joins Jonathan Gault for a deep dive into his 2026 season outlook. The adidas-sponsored distance star reflects on a heartbreaking US indoor final where he missed the world team by a hundredth of a second, and reveals he's added a third workout per week to his training. Young announces a loaded European Diamond League slate, a 1500 in Stockholm, back-to-back 5Ks in Oslo and Paris, before making his road debut at the Peachtree Road Race on July 4th, where he'll try to become the first American winner (outside of years it served as the US Championships) since Ed Eyestone in 1991.

    He says he views the Ultimate World Championships like a major global championship and plans to peak for it, and considers himself the American outdoor 5K record holder at 12:45.

  • Sub 2 Happened & Did the Marathon Change Forever? Sawe 1:59:30 + 2:05 Shocker in Toledo

    Sub 2 Happened & Did the Marathon Change Forever? Sawe 1:59:30 + 2:05 Shocker in Toledo
    Apr 27 2026
    Sabastian Sawe ran 1:59:30 at the London Marathon to become the first person to officially break two hours, with Yomif Kejelcha running 1:59:41 in his marathon debut to become the second. The top three all broke Kelvin Kiptum's previous world record of 2:00:25. On the women's side, Tigist Assefa defended her title in a women's-only world record of 2:15:41. Meanwhile in Toledo, Ohio, unsponsored 25-year-old Vincent Mauri shocked the running world with a 2:05:54 solo effort at the Glass City Marathon, making him the fourth-fastest American ever on a record-eligible course. The crew also breaks down Penn Relays drama, Cheptegei's marathon struggles, and whether Kipchoge's exhibition stole Sawe's thunder. 🎁 🎧 Join the Supporters Club for $5 a month with code GOAT50 Get a 2nd LetsRun podcast every week + bonus content: Join the Supporters Club — https://www.letsrun.com/subscribe 1:59:40 Shirts on Sale!

    Cooper Lutkenhaus, the 17-year-old sensation who became the youngest man ever to win an individual global track title, joins Jonathan Gault and Weldon Johnson to talk about his undefeated indoor season that concluded with 800m gold at World Indoors in Toruń, Poland.

    Cooper breaks down his tactics, his "just send it" mentality, and what it's like being a world champion walking the halls of his Texas high school.

    The conversation covers his Diamond League debut at Stockholm on June 7, the sibling rivalry with his brother over who breaks four minutes first, his surprisingly frugal spending habits despite a Nike deal, and why he's targeting USA Outdoors as the capstone of his 2026 season. Cooper also shares his admiration for David Rudisha's racing style and explains why he thinks 800m times are dropping so fast.https://www.letsrun.com/subscribe
