The CITIUS MAG Podcast | A Running + Track and Field Show Office Hours: How Much How Much Alcohol Do Pros Drink? Why Is There a Bowerman Track Club Exodus? What's Healthy Mileage For A "Working Runner"?
As Chris recovers from the marathon, Kyle Merber, Eric Jenkins and Mac Fleet took over the show for a special episode of "Office Hourse" – where we answer our followers, readers and listeners' questions.
We'll try and do more of these when we're all together in-person. Here are the questions answered in this week's episode:
– Do you like the way the U.S. selects its marathon team through the Olympic Trials system?
– How much alcohol do pros actually drink?
– What do you think is reasonable mileage for a "working runner" to attempt when aiming for a hypothetical sub-2:45 marathon PR?
– Why don't we host more professional cross country meets in the United States?
– Shouldn't pro runners practice racing without pacers more?
– What does it mean when pros say they "get work done" in their training or at races? Like PT/massage/chiropractor? Who is paying for that?
– Why is there a Bowerman Track Club exodus? What is happening?
– Is Kelvin Kiptum and his fast performance good for the sport?
– Why don't runners like Scott Fauble and Emma Bates run more races than marathons?
