This week, Rob and Becs welcome two of the greatest marathoners of all time—Eliud Kipchoge and Sifan Hassan—less than two months before their 2025 TCS New York City Marathon debuts. Fresh off her win at the Sydney Marathon and a year after her historic Olympic triple, Hassan continues to push boundaries few thought possible. Finishing in ninth place in Sydney, Kipchoge, at age 40, who finished ninth in Sydney, shares his positive outlook on the sport even as some wonder if it’s time for him to retire. Both reflect on their experience in Sydney and getting to know one another not only as runners but as friends. They can’t wait to run in New York City and feel the energy of the crowds as they run through the five boroughs. Plus, FDNY Battalion Chief Denis Sweeney joins the show for a special Member Moment on the 24th anniversary of 9/11. Denis has completed 21 New York City Marathons and is also the founder of the FDNY Running Club.
