Coffee with Larry, August 15, 2024, Diamond League back on August 22, All about Paris Marathon course, Paris Sprint Relays, Grand Slam Track and Sifan Hassan!

This is my daily chat with #RunBlogRun viewers and track fans on all things track & field!

This is Coffee with Larry for Thursday, August 15, 2024.

Coffee with Larry is sponsored by RunBlogRun’s cooling technology partner, OMIUS (www.omius.io).

Special thanks to Jay Weber and Mike Rouse for showing me the OMIUS technology.

It’s simple. You add cooling pods into a hat, visor, or headband, soak them with water, and add water every 30-45 minutes during your workout or race. It really works; I have used it.

Check out the site, www.omius.io!

1. The Diamond League is returning, Laussane, August 22; Silesia, August 25; Rome,August 30; Zurich, Sept 5; Brussels, Sept 13-14.
