Nice work, guys — couldn't join live, but listened during my workout this morning, and enjoyed the whole thing.
Some random comments...
- I know very little about the track scene, so I found that part of the discussion fascinating, especially after watching the Netflix show "Sprint" (well done and intense). I think that show was a relative hit, and it might be that it primed the pump for building a broader audience for the sport, and the kind of commercial opportunities you were talking about.
- Hardcopy magazines I still get (and try to read): Like the Wind, Ultrarunning, Eat Clean Run Dirty, and Orion (my only remaining non-running sub)
- I love the idea that we're a new wave of post-medieval pamphleteers
- fun fact: "The Purple Runner" was serialized in Marathon & Beyond Magazine in 2010-2011 (that's where I read it)
Looking forward to your next one (you are going to do this again, aren't you?).
Jeff, amazing! Thanks for dropping the knowledge on Purple Runner. I had no idea . . .indeed had never heard of it before last month! Agree, think the Drive to Survive treatment of pro running will help. I think you could easily tell that story for mid-distance too.
Should we do it again?? What would you want to hear more of? Less of?

Yes, you should do it again, and I trust your instincts for topics.
