Get the inside scoop about race day from a race director on this week’s episode of the A to Z Running Podcast. Kyle Cutler of Grand Rapids, Michigan gives advice, shares some interesting perspectives, and encourages us all to all the hit the street (track and trail too!)

The World of Running

It seems that our world of running is a little 10k focused this week.

• The road 10k world record was taken down by Joshua Cheptegei in a time of 26:38.
• Gwen Jorgensen is no longer running the 2020 Olympic Trials Marathon (source) and will instead focus on qualifying on the track in the 10K.
• Mo Farah shifts from marathon to 10k focus for the 2020 Summer Olympic Games. You can read more here.
