In this episode:
Comment from Dwight: Should marathons split their professional and citizen races? A good argument, although I love meatloaf…
We chat with NYRR President and CEO Mary Wittenberg.
Will she apply for the USATF position?
What can agents do to better the sport?
How does NYRR balance it’s non-profit mandate with the professional side of the sport?
And much more…
Paula Radcliffe is out of London.
Should running promote the sport more like boxing than NASCAR and the PGA?
Will New York benefit from Paula’s withdrawal at London?
Do professional athletes bring value to road races?
Toni gets in trouble at the LA Marathon. Have we reached the point where a white guy can no longer call another white guy a white guy.
Gate River, World Indoors, and Steve Scott.
Comment from Billy Borkus.
Toni runs Jamaica Pond with Bill Rodgers…in 1982. If nothing else, listen to this four-minute segment that starts around 51:30 in the podcast.
What did you think? Do you want to hear more of Toni’s conversations from the 1980’s? Should we henceforth refer to Toni as “Toni the Tangent”? Contribute to the show; call the comment line at 206-888-0346.
