This week on The Running Story, Michael Doyle and Jessy Carveth break down the five biggest stories in running. Jakob Ingebrigtsen finished fourth at the Brussels Diamond League final and called his rivals "a bunch of cowards" and we unpack the fallout. Jacob Kiplimo's half marathon world record was finally ratified by World Athletics... except it's already been passed, so it's not actually the world record anymore. Top American Clayton Young makes a bold declaration ahead of the Chicago Marathon, aiming for the American record. Plus, a developing and concerning story: Canadian skyrunner Kalie McCrystal has gone missing on the Matterhorn during a speed-record training attempt. And finally, World Athletics drops its entry lists for the Road Running Championships in Copenhagen, with a few surprising names.
