Love this.
There’s nothing more exhausting than caring about someone’s success more than they do. You lose sleep over their splits. They lose sleep because they stayed up scrolling TikTok. You plan workouts like chess. They show up like it’s checkers. It drives you crazy. Then you

“No travel sports until you beat everyone in your own backyard” is tremendous
@Zack31849967 @ccmembersonly All 3 of my daughters are damn good athletes. Our philosophy is, "we are not traveling until you beat everyone in your own backyard". Heading to Pinehurst with my oldest in January, because she has already made good on that.

This kinda reminds me of how, not that long ago, there was a qualifying heat in the 10,000.

This seems nuts to me. Sprinters and sprint coaches, am I wrong?
World Athletics has announced that ALL THREE ROUNDS of the women's 100 meters – including the final will be held on the same day at the Los Angeles Olympics. 🔁 The morning session on July 15th, 2028 will feature the women's 100m prelims (the round that features universality

👇🏽 Parents & Athletes — let's clear this up! Once upon a time, an "offer" meant a scholarship— real financial aid, and they only offered you if they truly wanted you. Now the word offer gets used for 3 things: 1️⃣ Scholarship Offer - money attached. 2️⃣ Preferred Walk-On (PWO) -

💯 Amen.
This is how doping should be treated ALL the time in elite sport, where the financial returns from triumphing over your opponents can be worth millions of $$$. It’s fraud and corruption.

The USA men's 1-2-3 sweep in the 100m was one of the most famous moments of the 2022 World Championships in Eugene. Three years later, gold medalist Fred Kerley is provisionally suspended and off to the Enhanced Games. Now silver medalist Marvin Bracy is banned for 45 months.

I get asked about college recruiting for sports A LOT. The best thing you can do isn't pay for a service. It's send a simple e-mail to the coach that includes: Name, School, Year... Best performances and where they took place. Academics: Class rank/Test scores. Coaches names

it’s very simple: if you run long enough or hard enough, you can get the voices in your head to pipe down for a couple hours

Deeply disappointing. Why wouldn’t these guys want to put together our “A” team to try to win a World Cross team title on home soil? Those opportunities only come along once in a career.
Some news: US distance stars Grant Fisher & Cole Hocker are not planning on running January's World Cross Country Championships. Both will run indoor seasons. Hocker is hoping to do World Indoors, while Fisher may make his half marathon debut in '26. https://t.co/gAmsHji6fG

Major bummer, especially with the World XC Championships being held in the U.S.
Coach Mike Scannell tells LetsRun that 2x Olympic bronze medalist Grant Fisher is not planning to race the 2026 World Cross Country Championships (Jan. 10th) and is likely to skip the U.S. Cross Country Championships on Dec. 6th. Fisher is planning to race during 2025-2026 indoor

The worst habit someone can have, is being okay with a life they don’t love, but have the ability to change. “Settling” is easy to start, comfortable to stay in, and hard to escape. It’s an opium all its own. Break the addiction, and encourage others to break it too.

The sweet spot for pursuing the adventure of your life is vision + realism. Without realism, you take bad actions to uphold a utopian fantasy. Without vision, you take no action toward anything higher than your most pessimistic beliefs. Vision + realism avoids both traps.
