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.

#044: James McKirdy of McKirdy Trained
We had James McKirdy on the pod for episode 44 of the Evening Double! James started McKirdy trained in 2016, which has turned into one of the largest coaching platforms in the country with elite runners at 2:04 under him.
After COVID, he also started a micro running series, which still goes on today in Rockland, New York!
We discussed what his training philosophies look like, what it's like putting on a race that is specifically to help runners hit the OTQ time and what pieces of advice he has for runners trying to hit their goals. Tune in!
