This is my daily chat #RunBlogRun viewers and follow fans on everything track and field.
Our topics:
1. Does Khalid Khannooshi get the credit he deserves? Chicago winner in 1997, 1999, 2000 and 2002. In 2002, after setting the WR in London, Khalid became the first man to break 2:06 twice in one year.
