Following this we touch on Louis Hincliffe’s decision to return to college and NIL implications, Keely Hodgkinson and Johannes Klaebo. We then discuss Tokyo marathon, the mess at the USA half marathon champs and the new European Marathon Classics. Finally we touch on a poll from the Athletic talking about the hardest job in coaching.
