In episode 73 of Lifting, Running, and Living, Kelly and JK skip updates to jump right into topics, starting with Minimus Flow augmented reality sports sunglasses that combine watch/phone/bike-computer features for about $699. They then recap the 2026 LA Marathon men’s photo finish and discuss a heat policy allowing runners to stop at 18 miles and still get a medal. Finally, they cover the US Half Marathon Championships in Atlanta, where top women were led off course after cones were moved during a police-officer emergency and what has ensued since.00:00 Episode Kickoff00:58 AR Glasses Explained06:06 Would Runners Use It09:48 Market Fit And Price17:21 LA Marathon Photo Finish23:46 Heat Policy Medal Debate28:48 US Half Champs Controversy34:34 Finish Line Chaos35:15 USATF Statement Fallout37:31 Why Not Fix Results40:18 ATC Explains Misroute40:43 How Cones Got Moved50:46 Who Should Know Course54:31 Honorary Podium Update56:28 Precedent and Legal Fears57:13 Sports Call Comparison01:00:23 World Team Stakes01:05:14 PR Spin and Wrap Up01:07:09 Final Sign OffFollow the podcast at ⁠⁠⁠@liftingrunninglivingpod⁠⁠⁠Email us at ⁠⁠⁠[email protected]⁠⁠⁠Follow JK at ⁠⁠@coachjkmcleod⁠⁠Follow Kelly at ⁠⁠⁠@runningklutz ⁠
