Just got back from spectating and cheering at the New York Marathon 2024. AMA. I tell some stories from New York, and some new times to the Fastest Known Marathon sheet, and after some unboxings, I add some weights to the Shoe Weights sheet.

After setting the fastest time of all Canadians ever in New York, Rory Linkletter returns to the podcast to talk about his race, the Olympics, a coaching change, and where he stands in the rankings of Fastest Marathon YouTubers. 0:00 intro 1:35 a new tattoo 2:16 Olympic performance 4:13 coaching change 9:08 which shoes does Rory use? 10:33 pacing duties in Chicago 13:39 New York pre-race 17:26 who’s watching the kids 18:03 NY Marathon, before Queensboro Bridge 21:46 NY Marathon, after the bridge 25:15 what is Rory most proud of in New York 26:48 what’s next 29:30 Fastest Marathon YouTuber  Follow Rory’s Journey Rory’s Strava https://www.strava.com/pros/9351341 Rory’s IG https://www.instagram.com/rory_linkletter/ Rory’s YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@LinkletterRory Fastest Marathon YouTubers  Suguru Osaka (2:05) https://www.youtube.com/@SUGURUOSAKO-COM Clayton Young (2:08) https://www.youtube.com/@_Clayton_Young_ Rory Linkletter (2:08) https://www.youtube.com/@LinkletterRory Stephen Scullion (2:09) https://www.youtube.com/@stephenscullion262 

Got a couple of watches to unbox. I wish I could say they were spooky unboxings, but they were just regular running watches I guess

I've got three shoes to unbox from Brooks. Two that you can probably guess. The third is a surprise (it's not the Hyperion Elite proto, unfortunately). So we'll get these shoes weighed and add them to the Shoe Weights Sheet. Also, I've got some updates to the Fastest Known Marathon Sheet. And it's Monday! so let me know how your races went.

I'm no analyst, but I'll go over the story lines and the names that I'm most excited about for New York 2024. Also, we'll do some unboxings. If you want to run with me in New York, I'll be doing a shakeout run with Runna on Saturday, November 2, 2024 at 8am https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/official-runna-shakeout-tickets-1049457454497?utm-campaign=social&utm-content=attendeeshare&utm-medium=discovery&utm-term=listing&utm-source=cp&aff=ebdsshcopyurl

Testing out the new flavors of UCAN. We added some new shoes to the shoe weights sheet. And there were so many races and PB's to celebrate!

Today, I'm starting a new spreadsheet. I'll list a bunch of race shoes and we'll try to fill in what we think are the fastest known times that anyone has ever run in that shoe.

On today’s Bonus Episode, we have Lindsay Flanagan, who ran a marathon PB of 2:23:31 to finish as second American and ninth overall at the 2024 Chicago Marathon. We talked about how Chicago is a homecoming for her, the prototype shoes she ran in, her race/pacing plan, her nutrition, and how (even though she ran a PB) she really should have run 1 second faster.  0:00 intro 0:50 Chicago homecoming 3:19 Race week shoes 6:22 race plan 9:40 pre-race vibes 11:35 Gabby Rooker is so nice 11:50 Rory Linkletter chatty on the long run 12:15 Centro Runs a Marathon 13:26 race nutrition plan 16:03 Lindsay’s favorite part of the course 16:44 Lindsay’s splits 17:47 wind and temps 19:35 World Championships Standard

For the first time in a long time, I spectated the Chicago Marathon instead of running it. I had an incredible time and collected a lot of stories.

looking ahead to the Chicago Marathon this weekend! also, some unboxing
