We recapped what may have been the best NYC in Episode 53 (purposeful rhyme)

From the finish of the women's race and Jess McClain proving she can hang in there with the world's best to Almgren doing something that's never been done and winning a world major in his debut, NYC was an instant classic!

We then quickly previewed Indy this weekend and talked about how many world majors is too many? Sydney joined in 2026, Cape Town is official for 2027 with Shanghai also on the horizon to join in 2027.

#047: The Big Sponge Theory, When Does Mileage Saturate?

Show notes

In episode #047 of The Evening Double we went into depth about when is enough whether it comes to mileage or intensity. When does the sponge finally get so much that it's over saturated?

We also went into depth about our current training. Did Ryan overdo it in training, is Keeton's knee gonna cooperate and is Erik peaking at the wrong time?

We finished out the episode with our takes on Chicago and why Clayton's experience ended up giving him top American honors.

In episode 45, we broke down how we see the Chicago Marathon playing out this weekend. Will the Americans be able to hang in with the lead pack? Will the heat affect the pros and the ambitious goals of the American record going down?

It seems like if they moved Chicago back one week, the weather is always better, and we discuss why the warmer weather tends to affect the amateur runner more than the professionals.

Lastly, we broke down power output in running and why we don't see it as much as we do in cycling.
