EPISODE #5 LISTEN
In Episode #5 of the Mike & Ira Show, we discuss the London Marathon and how Ryan Hall has solidified himself as one of the greatest American runners of all-time. We discuss if he is better than Frank Shorter or if Shorter's gold keeps him on top.
We get an update from Brendan O'Keefe and Caroline Cretti of Zap Fitness down in North Carolina. Caroline tells us about her upcoming race: The Olympic Trials Marathon. We preview the women's marathon trails in Boston and give our predictions.
We discuss Chris Derrick and his amazing 13:55 5k this past weekend. We debate as to where that ranks among the high school greats.
We talk to Arianna Lambie the former Stanford star about her future plans and post collegiate life. We ask her to tell us about the process of finding an agent and choosing a sponsor and coach. Finally we ask her our 6 off topic questions.
We finish up with our 10 questions and or top performer and flop of the week.

You said that Kalid was not eligible to compete in the trials in 2004. This is false. He claimed to be at less than top fitness due to an injury, then ran very well a short time after the trials at another marathon causing people to question his dedication to his new country. He chose to skip the trials in 2004.
Don't argue about the best american runner before the Olympic Games, because he will have a big shot at gold in Beijing!
