Dear @usatf do we know when tickets for USA outdoors will go on sale?

"The Athlete explained that she self-administered a vial labelled “testosterone” in an injection approximately two weeks prior to the Event. She further explained that she did not ask any questions about what she had ingested, did not pay for the vial or the syringe that she had used to self-administer the injection, and was unaware that testosterone was a Prohibited Substance."

The fueling strategies of the elite runners is very intriguing. Unfortunately, it doesn’t matter to the average or even “fast”runner who can’t have special aide stations with carbs via bottles during a marathon.

@Brady_H @Mark_Sisson I am of the opinion that there is a certain point where they are no longer worth it. I have no scientific data, but I don’t see the benefit to wearing them if your marathon time is 4 hours plus.

Abby Steiner 🇺🇸 is suing Puma, alleging that their racing shoes were defective and caused her injuries! Steiner has suffered from chronic, severe foot and ankle injuries, including Haglund’s deformity (enlarged bumps on the back of the heels) and subsequent Achilles issues. She has had multiple surgeries. According to the complaint, Puma along with Mercedes-Benz Grand Prix Ltd. were aware that the shoe designs and their carbon plate (CFP) and nitrogen foam (NF) technology could lead to bone stress injuries, increased risk of foot damage, and abnormal strain on runners’ feet. The lawsuit claims the shoes were unsafe for normal, expected use despite this knowledge.
