Ep #033 New York Lottery and Participation Trophies at LA

This week we look at the brutal odds of getting into the New York City Marathon with over 240,000 ballot applicants and roughly a 1% success rate. We share first-run impressions of the New Balance Ellipse and Saucony Endorphin Speed 5, before diving into controversy around the LA Marathon and whether it undermines the integrity of the marathon distance. We also compare the stats of the ASICS Superblast 2 and ASICS Superblast 3, debate the best dog breed for a running companion, and touch on a new shoe release from Adidas. In Coach’s Corner we break down a session of 800m and 400m, and as always, we finish with our week of training.
