Noah Droddy

I woke up the other day and thought about ways to live a better life, then I created another soc. media account. instagram.com/noah_droddy/

Noah Droddy (@IBuiltTheArk) was that rare athlete who had the viral moment first; the performances later. Really one of the most affable people in running. Great career runnersworld.com/runners-storie…

Happy trails to 2:09 marathoner Noah Droddy (@IBuiltTheArk) who announced his retirement from competitive running! On Instagram, he wrote: "This running life has led me to so many beautiful, challenging, and unexpected places. I expect it will continue to do so, just in different ways now. I’ll still be running, I’ll still be around running. But I’m more excited to be there for other people now, and see what challenges become interesting to me along the way" We've been lucky to have Noah as part of the CITIUS MAG family when @D3GloryDays was part of our podcast network. I'm sure he will continue to serve as an inspiration that many Division III athletes admire and chase as an example. Here's to more glory days!

Someone has probably already made This joke

More like Gold Hocker, amiright

We are all Matt Wilkinson right now!!

Oly Trials day one is all about familiarizing yourself with the commercials you’re about to see 1000 times

@fast_women @D3GloryDays Thank you! The athletes make it easy

🚨D3 Indoor Nationals Preview🚨 The D3 Glory Days team once again set out to do something no one else will, preview every. single. event. Putting this altogether, one thing stood out: this is going to be amazing weekend. d3glorydays.com/read/2024-d3-i…

@AidanReed45 this is a perfect Aidan tweet.

Great day for South Africa. ICJ decision and Adrian Wildschutt 12:56 for 5000m.

🗣️ “I think the thing that characterizes DII, DIII and NAIA athletes is that they're super passionate about running in a way that differs from DI athletes. They love it and that’s why they’re going to the smaller schools out of high school – because they want that opportunity to keep running.” – @TheRealMerb 🎧 SPOTIFY: apple.co/3SAj1v1 A quick chat w/ @IBuiltTheArk on the NCAA Division I & Division III cross country experiences ⤵️

@TrailsVonMudder @snewstat Thank you, Joel

@snewstat and @IBuiltTheArk did the best commentation work on a DIII nationals feed that I've ever seen. Absolutely fabulous, sirs. I was at the meet and saw a GoPro on the lead vehicle, then watched it back and wonder what tech difficulty excluded it from use.

This area apparently exists at DIA?

5:30am flight tomorrow. I'd have to leave home around 2:30am. Wife willing but unenthusiastic about driving me, do I:

I'd usually take the bus, but the first bus wouldn't arrive early enough. I'm a 'two hours before' kind of guy.

@runquasimodo I don't know

@IBuiltTheArk If the definition of run is “To go faster than a walk”, how can you objectively decipher between someone who says they went on a jog versus someone who says they went for a run?

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but “Jog” vs “Run” is an effort distinction, not a speed distinction. I ran yesterday, so I jogged today.

@TheRealMerb I try to avoid expressing opinions on the internet anymore. But I was surprised in reading through the comments how many seemed to struggle with the 'runner' label

@IBuiltTheArk Is this a subtweet

@laurab9 This tweet is not intended as a commentary on any particular quote or social media post

@IBuiltTheArk That distinction is not the intent of the quote, as I’m sure you know 🙄

@EnduranceAgency I think you’re identifying the problem - just because I would consider that a jogging pace doesn’t necessarily make it an objective, universal truth.

@IBuiltTheArk Don't disagree. But many of us would consider 15 min miles "jogging" even though the subject maybe in zone 5

@Allezbian I ran much faster in the marathon with super shoes than I did without them.

When technology make it so World Records no longer make sense in a historical context, maybe it's time to just focus on the racing. Like cycling. What if we moved away from standardized distances, and record attempts were relegated to project style attempts (like sub 2 proj)?
