minutes during training.

Our topics today;
1. Seb Coe is one of the 7 candidates for the IOC president replacing Thomas Bach. The Russians have said they don’t like Seb Coe running for president any more than Thomas Bach running for IOC president.
2. Diamond League increased prize money to $500k per match. Their prize money is $9.275 million, and their appearance money is $9 million per year. The Grand Slam circuit spends $12 million over four matches, so the Diamond League has raised its game due to the competition. Competition is good!
3. Professional track and field is not here yet. We take a few steps and then walk back.
4. ATHLOS will hold its first meeting on September 26. RunBlogRun will include on-site and remote. We will give the meeting the credit it deserves.
5. The Chicago Marathon is on October 13th. I love the Chicago Marathon. RunBlogRun will be there.
6. RunBlogRun will be providing podcast support to one of the sponsors of the Frankfurt Marathon, T. Rowe Price. The Mainova Frankfurt Marathon will take place on October 27, 2024.
7. Brooks Running has been our sponsor since 1990. Please look to Brooks for your running shoes and apparel needs. www.brooksrunning.com
