#52 - Mailbag Episode: Yomif's World Record, World Ultimate Wild Cards, and Listener Q&A

<p>Episode 52 kicks off with the announcement of the Out and Back live show at Chicago Marathon weekend, Saturday noon at Fleet Feet Chicago, 100-125 tickets at $15 a pop with a swag bag worth way more than that. Then it's current events: Seb Coe gives Jakob and Kerr wild cards for the World Ultimate Championships so we get the matchup everyone wants, Ethan Strand wins a Diamond League in his first race since Jonah Koech's doping ban was announced, Parker Wolf and Graham Blanks run down Cameron Myers at Zurich, and Yomif Kejelcha runs 56:51 in Buenos Aires for a world record that has some people asking questions about the splits. They also get into the unusual nitrous drink, Sawe scratching from Berlin, and Valencia potentially becoming the fall race of the year. Then it's the mailbag: mistakes athletes make that are easily fixed, training in hot climates, top three exercises for durability, hills, double threshold, why they don't do it twice a week, and where the marathon and half marathon records land by 2030.</p><p>Support our Sponsors:</p><p><strong>Meteo Pace:</strong> Be prepared for race day by getting 20% off MeteoPace Pro at <a href="https://www.meteopace.com/redeem" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠https://www.meteopace.com/redeem⁠</a> </p><p>Code: OUTANDBACK <a href="https://app.meteopace.com/redeem?code=OUTANDBACK" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠https://app.meteopace.com/redeem?code=OUTANDBACK⁠</a></p><p><strong>AquaOmega: </strong>For your daily dose of Omega-3’s, go to myaquaomega.com/OUTANDBACK and use code OUTANDBACK<strong> </strong>for 20% off.</p><p><strong>Merch Store:</strong></p><p><a href="https://outandback.shop/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠https://outandback.shop/⁠</a></p><p><strong>Coaching:</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.thomsontraining.run/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠Jacob’s Coaching Website⁠</a></p><p><a href="https://www.letstango.run/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠Rory’s Coaching Website⁠</a></p><p><a href="https://forms.gle/53TEaVFZjVJusoJp6" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠Join our newsletter⁠</a></p><p><a href="https://www.strava.com/clubs/1749368" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠Join our Strava group⁠⁠</a></p><p><strong>Follow us:</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@jacobthomson4360" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠Jacob’s YouTube⁠</a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@LinkletterRory" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠Rory’s YouTube⁠⁠</a><a href="https://www.thomsontraining.run/%E2%81%A0" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠ ⁠</a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@OutandBackPodcast" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠Out And Back YouTube⁠</a></p><p><a href="https://www.strava.com/pros/9351341" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠Rory’s Strava⁠⁠</a></p><p><a href="https://www.strava.com/pros/18784987" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠Jacob’s Strava⁠⁠</a></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/rory_linkletter/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠Rory’s Instagram⁠⁠</a></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/jtcougars8/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠Jacob’s Instagram⁠⁠</a></p><p><a href="https://sandyboyproductions.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠SandyBoy Productions</a></p>
