01:40:53 Share

Hobbs Kessler is the new world record holder and world champion in the road mile, Peres Jepchirchir got her 3rd world title, Faith Kipyegon's perfect season came to an end, and Yomif Kejelcha came up just short as Alberto Salazar's doping ban comes to an end.

We break it down and turn to this weekend's Chicago Marathon where could Kelvin Kiptum and Ruth Chepngetich challenge the world record? Who will be the first American Galen Rupp or Conner Mantz, Emma Bates or Emily Sisson? What will Molly Seidel do?
