Kara Goucher had a trackside seat to history as she helped call the 2023 Track and Field World Championships for the American broadcast. We couldn't resist peppering her with questions about the event, the top athletes and races, the logistics behind the broadcast, and much more. We even got help from some of our Patreon supporters who also submitted questions.

Today on Group Chat we are joined by Laura Thweatt, Tommie Runz, Peter Bromka, Marcus Brown, and Matt Chittim. Also, quick correction, when Matt was listing Courtney Dauwalter's 2023 races he missed Trans Gran Canaria and said Canyons/Black Canyon by mistake.

Episode Rundown:
Welcome to the first ever Relay fantasy draft! In this inaugural episode we do a fantasy draft for the this weekend's Chicago Marathon.
In this draft each person drafted five runners of any gender or nationality. The entire field was ours to choose from.
On race day we will do cross country scoring with the top three runners from each time getting points. 1 point for coming in first, 2 for second, and so on. For example, one team has the top male runner, the top female runner, and the second female runner, it would have 4 points.
In this draft we had Tommie Runz, Laura Thweatt, Lindsey Hein, Peter Bromka, and Matt Chittim.
From poor tune-up races to switching up nutrition, pro runners face the same lessons more casual runners do.
Laura Thweatt is a 2:25 marathoner, professional runner for Saucony, and former US cross country champion.
She placed 5th in the 10k at the 2016 Olympic Trials and 5th in the 2020 Olympic Marathon Trials.

This weekend we saw an astonishing number of OTQ performances with most them coming from the McKirdy Micro Marathon. We break down the event after two members of our team attended the race and witnessed the unique experience first hand.
We also talk about high mileage weeks, compare those to training done decades ago, and what we can learn from those comparisons.
Also, we have an intense back and forth about acceptable cereals. Truth but told, we inexplicably start the podcast with this topic...
