Description

Your favorite 2 Black Runners reflect on the first 6 months of 2022 before going to the World Championships in Eugene this weekend.  The Potts Brothers are also joined by Derek Rubis at the end of the episode to discuss what makes him "the hub of distance running," how he has been dealing with colon cancer, and a discussion on the impact of social media on the running community.
