This is Coffee with Larry for Monday, October 28, 2024.
Coffee with Larry is our almost daily podcast on the global sport of track and field athletics.
Coffee with Larry is sponsored by OMIUS, the cooling technology company.
OMIUS makes hats, visors, and headbands with cooling pods, which, when moistened, with water, every 30-45 minutes, keep you cool.
And remember, OMIUS will have a booth at the NYC Expo this week, make sure you go by and ask for Jay Weber, tell him that Larry Eder sent you!
Omius is the official cooling technology partner of RunBlogRun
