Coffee with Larry, October 28, 2024, NYC Marathon Week is here!

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

This is Coffee with Larry for Monday, October 28, 2024.

Coffee with Larry is our almost daily podcast on the global sport of track and field athletics.

Coffee with Larry is sponsored by OMIUS, the cooling technology company.

OMIUS makes hats, visors, and headbands with cooling pods, which, when moistened, with water, every 30-45 minutes, keep you cool.

And remember, OMIUS will have a booth at the NYC Expo this week, make sure you go by and ask for Jay Weber, tell him that Larry Eder sent you!
