Who Will Win the Olympic Marathons?

Marathon Handbook Podcast

Alex, Katelyn and Michael describe the Paris Olympic marathon course in detail, and what to expect when live streaming both the men's and women's marathons this weekend. Will Eliud Kipchoge pull of the improbable and win gold in the Olympic marathon for a third straight time? Or will there be a new Olympic champ at 26.2 miles? And in the women's marathon, which concludes the Paris Olympics, will defending champ Peres Jepchirchir dominate the field, or can world record holder Tigst Assefa use her speed on this incredibly hilly and challenging course? We break it all done for you so you'll be primed and ready for this weekend's Olympic marathons in Paris, which are set for 2:00 a.m. EDT Saturday (for the men's race) and 2:00 a.m. EDT Sunday (for the women's race).
And be sure to check this feed after the marathons this weekend for our instant reaction pods!
Hosts: Alex Cyr, Katelyn Tocci, Michael Doyle
