It's Penn State National Week!

I'll be heading up to State College this weekend for the Penn State National Indoor Meet. That's the one that has had a sub-4 mile every year for quite a while now.  So that's what my first podcast will attempt to discuss.  I hopefully will have 3 members of the sub-4 club as well as coblogger Matt Groves and his father to discuss the magic of the mile and what it takes to dip under "the barrier".

The recent death of Chris Chataway points out that there is more than one way to skin a cat, so to speak.  His revelation of never running more than 25 miles in a week certainly made more than one sub-4 practitioner from my era sit up and take notice.  In my day, many miles were thought needed for such lofty goals.  Chris helped pace Roger Bannister to his famous feat and later dipped under himself, despite being primarily a 5000 M specialist.



Hopefully, many of you can stop by and say hello when I'm there.
