Summary
On this week’s show, we had some fast times thrown down in Lievin, France where we saw several world-leading performances and a world record. We’re going to spend much of our time previewing the USATF Indoor Championships and the World Cross Country Championships this weekend.
Lievin World Indoor Tour: Lamecha Girma broke the indoor 3000m record with a 7:23.81; Meet records fell at the hands of Karsten Warholm, Keely Hodgkinson and Femke Bol. Jakob Ingebrigtsen is paying attention to the American stars now but says, 'I'm still the best.'
USATF Indoor Championships: Many of the top stars are absent from this meet since there is no World Indoor Championships this year. Noah Lyles is still the premier star showing up for the men's 60m. Major props to the likes of Aleia Hobbs, Anna Hall, Whittni Morgan, Cole Hocker, Clayton Murphy, Bryce Hoppel and others for contesting the meet.
World Cross Country Championships: The race will be held in Mount Panorama Circuit in Australia. If you want to watch, tune in on Friday, Feb. 17, at 11:30 p.m. ET on Peacock. It’s a 2K loop. People will be running through a vineyard at times. Possibly some kangaroo sightings. Very hot conditions. Should be spicy with Joshua Cheptegei, Selemon Barega, Letesenbet Gidey and Francine Niyonsaba among the stars competing.

| 1:01.9 | were at BU getting caught up in just sub four after sub four after sub four. So how |
| 1:08.2 | was your weekend? It was fantastic. I thought Milrose was a great event overall. I mean, |
| 1:16.8 | it's so funny because I spend so much time doing, you know, the social stuff for Sidious |

| 1:38.4 | enthusiasm for everything is extremely infectious. And I could listen to her recap races until |
| 1:44.3 | the sun goes down. But I mean, it was a fantastic me and, you know, I feel like I'm going |
| 1:50.5 | back to my takes from the last time I was on, but you know, there's no reason that you |
| 1:55.0 | can't run fast and have great racing. It was like totally the best of both worlds and |
| 1:59.6 | it just made me so happy to see. So that was BU and Milrose games. Milrose was just, I |
