In this week’s episode, we dive into the breaking news that Faith Kipyegon—the triple Olympic 1500m champion and world record holder—is set to chase history in June with an attempt to become the first woman ever to break four minutes for the mile. We break down Nike’s Breaking4 announcement, the science behind the attempt, the pacing strategy, and whether it could redefine what’s possible in women’s distance running.

Plus, we shift gears to preview what might be the greatest men’s marathon field ever assembled: the 2025 London Marathon. From Kiplimo’s debut to Kipchoge’s return, Sawe’s rise, and Olympic triathlon champ Alex Yee taking on 26.2—this race is packed with storylines and implications for the season ahead. We also discuss why Sifan Hassan may be the heavy favorite on the women's side.

We close with quick hits from the upcoming Xiamen Diamond League, where Faith Kipyegon opens her season and Olympic champions square off in the field events.

“It’s still scary. It doesn’t matter how many marathons you run, you’re going to be scared. The brain is scared of struggling for two hours, struggling for three hours. You’re going to suffer. You have to focus on one thing for two hours.”

Few athletes embody the spirit of curiosity and courage quite like Sifan Hassan. From her historic triple attempt at the Tokyo Olympics to her remarkable gold medal in the marathon and double bronze on the track in Paris, Hassan has redefined what’s possible in distance running. Today, she joins The CITIUS MAG Podcast to reflect on the extraordinary highs and grueling challenges of her career, including the mental toll of her Olympic triples and her triumphant return to the marathon at London in 2023. Hassan also shares her ambitious plans for 2025 and beyond, from chasing Ruth Chepngetich’s stunning 2:09:56 marathon world record to potentially attempting an unprecedented four major marathons in one year. What drives someone who has already achieved so much? Hassan’s answer is as compelling as her racing: it’s not about being the GOAT — it’s about pushing the limits of what she can do. Get ready for an inspiring conversation with one of the most curious, fearless, and boundary-pushing athletes of our time.
