    As Chris recovers from the marathon, Kyle Merber, Eric Jenkins and Mac Fleet took over the show for a special episode of "Office Hourse" – where we answer our followers, readers and listeners' questions.

    We'll try and do more of these when we're all together in-person. Here are the questions answered in this week's episode:

    – Do you like the way the U.S. selects its marathon team through the Olympic Trials system?

    – How much alcohol do pros actually drink?

    – What do you think is reasonable mileage for a "working runner" to attempt when aiming for a hypothetical sub-2:45 marathon PR?

    – Why don't we host more professional cross country meets in the United States?

    – Shouldn't pro runners practice racing without pacers more?

    – What does it mean when pros say they "get work done" in their training or at races? Like PT/massage/chiropractor? Who is paying for that?

    – Why is there a Bowerman Track Club exodus? What is happening?

    – Is Kelvin Kiptum and his fast performance good for the sport?

    – Why don't runners like Scott Fauble and Emma Bates run more races than marathons?
