@erinstrout @fast_women Gotcha - thank you!

@fast_women @erinstrout Unsportsmanlike conduct is basically what that rule reads as but what happened?

@McKirdyTrained Honest question since you coach high level athletes - why do you think this is? We obviously have high level men out there racing?

How much better are the USA women than the USA men in the marathon? (global rankings) The top 10 women are in the top 186 world rankings...with 5 in the top 100 Whereas our (current) 10th male is 332nd - Only 1 is ranked in the top 100.

@stevemagness What is the women’s equivalent of a 2:01/1:59, or the mens WR and mens fastest time ever and yes I know that was very scientifically produced, I’m just curious.

A 2:11 marathon is insane. A few years ago it would be near impossible to wrap your head around a women running that now. You can’t compare to past runners. The super shoe era is its own thing. We no longer have historical context on what times mean.

@jamesjonesesq 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ back in the early 2000s my college teammates were doing giant fulls into their dismounts - sorry mykayla 🤷‍♀️🤨

This lady saying she inspired Simone Biles is the level of delusion we all need to get through life.

@MrORuns I mean, the first choice was Chattanooga…guessing we are now seeing why

@McKaleDavis @BostonMar_Pro I ran in the Elite field at NYC in 2016 (I had a PR of 2:45 at the time) and was sitting across from Gwen Jorgenson, Molly Huddle was on the bus and the current world champ at the time. Imposter syndrome was going strong 😆 GOOD LUCK!!!

As I set on one of the the busses designated for only the @BostonMar_Pro runners, seating our police escort to the start line, I want to thank #academia for a lifetime of preparing for this level of imposter syndrome.

@McKaleDavis Skechers really had a missed opportunity there

I’m just a former 90s kid, who’s all grown up with my own spending money now, begging running shoe companies to please make a racing shoe that lights up 🙏🏼

@JasonFitz1 Because runners in the US will jog in circles around their mailbox to get their GPS to read 5.0 miles so racing 4.98 miles is unacceptable 😆😆😆 (yes im from the US, but I also hate any distance under 10 miles 🤣)

Why aren't there more 8k races? I love this distance and will forever support more of these races, whether they're on the road, trail, or cross country.

@collegegymnews_ Short sleeve leotards look terrible on everyone - I wouldn’t put my level 3 team in this leotard, let alone a team of adult women.

So... Thoughts on the Rutgers leo?

@hurdle1gal @fast_women so did mine but just below that in blue caps it should say “View Entire Message” and then you can read the whole thing (I also have gmail).

@karagoucher Love this idea!

I think I'm going to share real life terrible training/running advice I truly have received. Maybe once a week? It will sound like parody but it will be 100% real advice I was given. Like #terribleadvicetuesday and I will be standing by absolutely none of the advice. Thoughts?

@hansonsrun @hansonsodp @samluvs2run @will_shriver89 Good luck!!! Is Detroit sanctioned as an OTQ course this year?

I have a long tradition with Free Press Marathon @hansonsodp ran in 1978 as a 13yr old. I ran it the next year during a red shirt year at College. My wife Nancy broke 3 hours here in 1996. @samluvs2run & @will_shriver89 will run their debut here tomorrow morning. Good luck kids.

@McKaleDavis @KeiraDAmato @trackjenny I like the zoom flys as a trainer too!

I literally started training in Nike Zoom Fly’s because that’s what I saw @KeiraDAmato training in. I also freaking love @trackjenny. These shoe companies are just being smart targeting women in their late 30s with disposable income!!

@SaraHall3 Haha I am 100% a forefoot runner (Makes me feel less like I’m cheating when I wear super-shoes). And yes, YEARS ago, when I was still a gymnast I tried heel striking because I thought that was ”normal” - it’s SO weird and I would never try it now 😆

Anyone else experiment with trying to heelstrike on a run to become a shoe super-responder? Ok just me 😝

@erinstrout It should be coaches at the youth/high school/club level. You have a group of kids interested in a sport, promote it. Make a big deal about meets, televised or not. I coach gymnastics and if its on tv we tell the kids and we talk about the results.

@McKirdyTrained @TCTCbayshore @hansonsrun They were a qualifier in the past - kind of weird that they wouldn’t get a sanction (assuming athletes/coaches asked about it).

I don't want to count a chicken before it's hatched... but it's a shame the @TCTCbayshore refused to get the USATF sanction for today's marathon. veteran pro Dot McMahan is on pace for 2:34:30 or so... @hansonsrun - she looking good!

@TheRealMerb I ran that race today!

There was an error with one of my athlete’s registration at a road race. This is how he showed up in the results

@scottfaubs X-men movies

I’m going to say something that I never thought I would say publicly. Why isn’t Bones on TV right now? Is it the best killing time in a hotel show ever made?

@runcamille @centurionrunner @hoka @COROSGlobal @squirrelsnutbut @MaurtenOfficial @goodr Ahhh gotcha - thought because it’s the national championships but world records are cool too 😆🤣

@Alex_Runs42k @centurionrunner @hoka @COROSGlobal @squirrelsnutbut @MaurtenOfficial @goodr Mad City? Nah, course isn’t fast. Going for some World Records and PRs at the Centurion 100K 🏃‍♀️💥💥.

My legs and lungs are adapting to the lower altitude and added oxygen 🚀! Conor says I look as strong as ever. I’ll keep working at it and developing the turnover 🧱👷‍♀️. 5 wks to go to the @centurionrunner 100K ⭕️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️.
