This is Coffee With Larry.
Coffee with Larry is our daily (well, almost daily) podcast on all things athletics (track & field). We go LIVE around 10 AM Central most days, and the podcast goes 30 minutes, sometimes 40 if I get really down the rabbit hole.
Our topics today:
- Memorial Van Damme is 8 September 2023. It will be shown on Peacock TV and featuring the stars of the sport, looking for final points to win the big prizes at the Pre Classic.
- Jakob Ingebrigtsen will go for the 2000m WR. Mondo Duplantis has gone for 6.23m WR twice now in the last ten days, and Shericka Jackson will run the 200 meters.
- King Badouin II stadium is a great sports center to enjoy the meeting. I have seen 40,000 fans there in the past.
- Belgian fans love their sports; local heroes are a huge deal here!
- Make sure that you check it out on Peacock TV.
- See you tomorrow on Coffee with Larry!

Larry Eder has had a 52-year involvement in the sport of athletics. Larry has experienced the sport as an athlete, coach, magazine publisher, and now, journalist and blogger. His first article, on Don Bowden, America's first sub-4 minute miler, was published in RW in 1983. Larry has published several magazines on athletics, from American Athletics to the U.S. version of Spikes magazine. 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."
