(Sponsor) The **AIRWAAV® ENDURANCE Performance Mouthpiece is here!** Airwaav is a relatively new training tool that launched late in 2020 after nearly 16 years of research. Now they have the ENDURANCE model that provides a more snug fit, keeping the mouthpiece in place for endurance athletes who relax their jaw during long-distance workouts or races. The AIRWAAV performance mouthpiece fits along your bottom teeth and directs your tongue down and forward creating the “optimal airway opening” resulting in: Increased airway opening by up to 25% resulting in an immediate 28.5% respiratory rate reduction during a steady-state run Increased endurance — by reducing respiratory rate by 20%, resulting in less lactic acid production Faster recovery times — by reducing cortisol build-up by up to 50% LetsRun listeners can save 10% with the code "LR10" Dig into the science and put AIRWAAV to the test.

Pennsylvania high schooler Gary Martin did something that had only been done once before, by Jim Ryun in 1965, go sub 4 in the mile in a high school race without a rabbit. Former prep phenom Katelyn Tuohy blasted a 4:06 1500m, Maria Garcia Romo blasted NCAA record holder Eliud Kipsang at SECs in the 1500, Yared Nuguse's NCAA career is over, there were some amazing sprint performances at the conference meets, and DII star Christian Noble turned some heads by not only turning pro before NCAAs, but also signing as a male with New Balance. We break it all down and discuss whether Newbury Park XC was the best high school team ever in any sport and whether Matthew Centrowitz, Donavan Brazier, or Jenny Simpson are in trouble.

We catch up with Emma Bates after she ran 2:24:20 to finish second at the Chicago Marathon and become the ninth-fastest American woman of all time. Bates ran through her race strategy and why most of her Team Boss teammates flew out to Chicago to cheer her on in-person. She also discusses her painful divorce, which caused her to relocate from Idaho to Boulder and begin training under Joe Bosshard, and how she was able to navigate that period of her life and emerge stronger. Bates also wants to run the World Championship marathon next year in Eugene...but nine months out from race day, she’s still waiting on USATF to let her know how it is picking the team.
