The all-female Athlos meet backed by reddit's Alexis Ohanian is on Thursday in NYC and we break down what it means for the sport and its chances for success.

Then we preview the NCAA cross country season. Parker Wolfe and Katelyn Tuohy are gone but Parker Wolfe and Graham Blanks are back as are the Oklahoma State men. Can the NAU women get it done for the first time? What about Mike Smiths' legacy?

Solomon Kipchoge is a 59 minute half marathoner for Texas Tech and a new comer to the NCAA ranks, so is Pamela Kogei, the younger sister of former marathon world record holder Brigid. How will they fare?

We end with some Supporters Club only audio.
