Happy New Year!

A new year and decade are here and we look back (at the top articles and threads of the year and decade) and ahead to the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.

Who is more likely to get gold Kenenisa Bekele or Evan Jager, Shelby Houlihan or Matthew Centrowitz, Ajee' Wilson or Donavan Brazier? What about Bryce Hoppel or Clayton Murphy, Mo Farah or Muktar Edris? Who gets more medals Jerry Schumacher’s Bowerman Track Club or Pete Julian’s unnamed group.

We have a Hakone Ekiden/ Nike Vaporfly talk, Alberto Salazar segment on Sifan Hassan, and end with predictions for Mary Cain in 2020 as she kicked off the year with the Midnight Run in Central Park.

Looking for a great race this winter? Run the Publix Atlanta Marathon, Half, 5k, the day after the Olympic Marathon Trials in Atlanta. More details here.
