Summary
It's been a while since Matt Meyer and I teamed up to recap the biggest news stories and results in track and field. He has been in Montana. I've had other work to do so it's been a scheduling challenge. However, we made it happen again. We're back together over Zoom to unpack the summer and fall racing circuit.
– Matt shares how he's found a love for trail running and I share some of my shortcomings but aspirations for the mile.
– We discuss all major marathons being pushed
– We name our most valuable performers (MVPs) of the 2020 campaign.
– We give major props to the creativity and lengths that some people like Bowerman Track Club, Northern Arizona Elite and the Hansons-Brooks Distance Project have gone to stage meets in the United States safely amid a global pandemic.
– In the Dopers Gonna Dope segment that people love, we discuss the Christian Coleman whereabouts failures that led to his two-year suspension, Salwa Eid Nasser getting off on a technicality and a French investigation into Olympic champion Taoufik Makhloufi.
– Plus...we share things that have made us smile like the DK Metcalf tackle and Tommy Rivs providing an update on his cancer battle.

| 0:39.3 | was, I think it was shortly after the Boston Marathon |
| 0:42.1 | got postponed and I think maybe we did this in like March or May. |

| 0:52.7 | all right, what can we talk about? |
| 0:54.6 | And I think that giving it a chance |
| 0:56.5 | to let some things build up over the summer, |
| 0:58.6 | so we had like kind of a pile of back work |
| 1:01.8 | to go through, definitely gives us a little bit more to more. |
