This is Coffee with Larry for Saturday, September 23, 2023.
This is our almost. the daily news show hosted by Yours Truly, and opinions are mine.
Our topics today:
- The Berlin Marathon is tomorrow; check out the streaming and the Berlin site that shows the leaderboard.
- Whatever Eliud Kipchoge does, he is still GOAT!
- Berlin is a wonderful marathon, a great organization and a swift course.
- New Balance has named 4 young athletes to NIL deals.
- Brooks named Shawnti Jackson to the NIL deal and Brandon Miller to Brooks Beasts TC.
- USATF will hold the Olympic Trials in Eugene; please figure out hotel pricing.
- If USATF wants to build sport, consider other Olympic Trials sites. Eugene is amazing, but hotel pricing and airfare is making it more expensive than New York City and cutting out the chance for middle-class families to attend the event.<

He currently manages the content and marketing development of the RunningNetwork, The Shoe Addicts, and RunBlogRun. Of RunBlogRun, his daily pilgrimage with the sport, Larry says: "I have to admit, I love traveling to far away meets, writing about the sport I love, and the athletes I respect, for my readers at runblogrun.com, the most of anything I have ever done, except, maybe running itself." Also does some updates for BBC Sports at key events, which he truly enjoys.
Theme song: Greg Allman, " I'm no Angel."
