I ran 2160 miles this year and am only in slightly worse shape

Oh! 800m World champion and Olympic silver medalist Marco Arop won the Back Half the Marathon Huntsville, Alabama in 1:11:16. He’s been running about 30 miles per week.

In da clurb, we all Slam

Feels like Strava needs to make it more obvious that my friends are not traveling around the world cycling in a different city every morning

My Athlete of the Year: The Fans

The top 10 Christmas songs according to a sub three hour marathoner👇🧵1/14

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but if your Turkey Trot was not on the World Athletics calendar, you actually did not race this morning.

Stepping away from Thanksgiving to WhatsApp European agents

I’m skipping the turkey trot this year to maintain the illusion of still being the fastest person in my hometown

Taking this as shots fired but admittedly this was a very funny week

Can’t a guy double his mileage in peace without being asked what he’s training for? It might just be a mid-life crisis or bad lighting in the bathroom mirror

The stars are out 🤩🤩🤩

Sharing this while waiting for the @grandslamtrack.bsky.social admin to commit to Bluesky…

Going to tell my kids that I ran 70 mpw in high school in these shoes and my achilles always hurt

Some interesting tidbits about the 800m World Champion Mary Moraa www.tuko.co.ke/sports/athle...

I’m buying Ethan Strand, Gary Martin, and Liam Murphy 1500m stock this year - I’ve seen what I need to see

My boy is killing it

Track: Ease into it and aim for a negative split with a big close XC: Sprint as hard as you can for the first kilometer and slowly die

Coach Diljeet Taylor is really just so good at coaching and I’m convinced she must not have the same 24 hours in a day as the rest of us

Rooting for Chris Derrick today - hoping he can finally win this one!

I was forced to buy 500 of these but they’re good

Absolutely grinding in excel today planning the event schedule

One of the most overlooked prospects has to be Samuel Ogazi of Nigeria. In his freshman year at Alabama, in the 33rd race of the season! — he runs a PB to make the Olympic final.

Young talent in the Men’s 400 Muzala Samukonga (21)-43.74 Chris Morales Williams (20)-44.05 Quincy Wilson (16)-44.20 Busang Kebinatshipi (20)-44.22 Letsile Tebogo (21)-44.29 Lythe Pillay (21)-44.31 Samuel Ogazi (18)-44.41 Deandre Watkin (21)-44.48 Matheus Lima (21)-44.52 Judson Lincoln (20)-44.55

Love that the World Champion is making her 1500 debut in Kingston! I can think of some other recent 800 meter runners that moved up in distance and thrived…

Daryll has been winning Olmypic and World medals since 2016 but is low key just getting started 💪🏾 Considering her consistency at both 100 and 200, don't be surprised if she wins a couple of the SLAMs in the short sprint group 👀

Tomorrow feels like a good day to announce some more Racers… let’s add some new flags!

Right now in college dorms across America there are teammates debating whether or not they should get in their car to drive across the country to cheer on their friends at NCAAs — do it!

I saw someone wearing a 2019 Long Island Mile shirt on a run this week

Buried the lede here… Daniel Mateiko and Sebastian Sawe debuts!!! If you watched the rabbiting job for Kiptum’s WR or the smoothest half at the World Road Running champs and thought, “those guys look like they could have kept going,” well now we’ll find out.

You may call it rewatching old races on YouTube but I call it doing research ✍️

In August I extended an invitation for an athlete to join Grand Slam Track but they were not interested. It was understandable, at the time we had only announced Sydney and Josh. Three months later their agent reached back out and fortunately I still had a spot — they just signed.

Think of how much time you could dedicate to other crafts if it only took 40 minutes to run a 15K — could learn to play the piano or speak another language! Or watch even more TikTok!

Did I watch Tyson vs Paul? Yes. Did it make me want to watch more boxing? No. Gimmicks don’t convert viewers into fans.
