As Chris recovers from the marathon, Kyle Merber, Eric Jenkins and Mac Fleet took over the show for a special episode of "Office Hourse" – where we answer our followers, readers and listeners' questions.
We'll try and do more of these when we're all together in-person. Here are the questions answered in this week's episode:
– Do you like the way the U.S. selects its marathon team through the Olympic Trials system?
– How much alcohol do pros actually drink?
– What do you think is reasonable mileage for a "working runner" to attempt when aiming for a hypothetical sub-2:45 marathon PR?
– Why don't we host more professional cross country meets in the United States?
– Shouldn't pro runners practice racing without pacers more?
– What does it mean when pros say they "get work done" in their training or at races? Like PT/massage/chiropractor? Who is paying for that?
– Why is there a Bowerman Track Club exodus? What is happening?
– Is Kelvin Kiptum and his fast performance good for the sport?
– Why don't runners like Scott Fauble and Emma Bates run more races than marathons?

0:09.2 | to run the New York City Marathon. |
0:10.4 | By the time you're listening to this, |
0:11.4 | you'll probably have some idea of how he's done let us |
0:14.6 | know but we're instead joined by a very special guest this is Kyle Murber talking |

1:08.6 | and allowed readers of the laugh count newsletter to send in questions that I would answer and I did that but there was a lot of questions that I could not get to them all and so |
1:22.4 | What we're gonna do right now is we're going to read those |
1:26.4 | questions and I have barely skimmed questions Mac has never read them Eric has never read them. Eric has never read them. And we're just going to go through and |
1:37.9 | we're going to answer them. They're all over the place. There's no rhyme or reason. |
1:41.3 | So timeline doesn't make any chronological sense. |
1:46.0 | And again, I skim them days ago and Mac and Eric |
1:50.0 | are reading it for the first time. |
1:52.0 | And we're just going to give I guess if you want to call us |
