Coffee with Larry, August 25, 2024, Ingebrigtsen and Duplantis set WRs along with 10 meet records in Silesia!

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

This is Coffee with Larry for Sunday, August 25, 2024.

Coffee with Larry is sponsored by OMIUS! OMIUS makes cooling technology for hats, visors and head bands. Using the cooling pods which go into the hat, visor and head band, soak with water every 30-45 minutes, and you stay cool!

Sifan Hassan used the head band from OMIUS when she ran the marathon in Paris, and won in a final sprint! Just a tease here! We will be doing an interview with Sifan Hassan, watch for the post shortly!

Our topics:

1. Jakob Ingebrigtsen destroyed the 3,000m world record of Daniel Komen, which was set in 1996 with his 7:17.55, breaking the WR by nearly 4 seconds! i was able to get in a couple of questions in Silesia with Jakob remotely (thanks to Matthew Quine of Diamond League AG)).
