This is what it’s all about. Run hard, give it your all, leave it in the course, and your hard work will pay off. Great job Justin, and kudos to Oregon and Nike!

@DJOttoOlson @Bloodround They hosted in 2015 and not a single program popped up in the past 11 years

@Bloodround They had wrestling before…. Maybe motivator to bring it back?

So we are letting UNLV host the World Championships who doesn't have a wrestling program in an area not known for wrestling? Have we heard of fucking Philadelphia or Chicago?

@ThePapaLinks Hi Rory, Tunnel Hill is on line 1 for you

What’s the latest in one’s career someone could switch from roads to the trail ultras? Asking for myself

@LydiardsWay I read that both groups need to increase mileage if they want results

Im running 40-45 miles a week and preparing for 5k, whilst others at the club are running 25-35 mpw and aiming at ultras. There's a lot to be read in that sentence above.

@XcCris Sifan and Bekele then everyone else

I think I’ve locked down my top 10. Spoiler: I think someone off the top 10 could be #1 the next time we do this in 2036.

@nhs67_jfish @InfaWrest @BrianSwaw I-L-L

@InfaWrest @BrianSwaw-mafia

I’ll be hosting the first Twitter Wrestling World Championships, the date is TBD. Here’s the details - 64 person Bracket - repechage system - each matchup will be voted upon If you’re interested in being a part of this, let me know!

@waynesburgfan @T_Ram133 The post-career ending shower is one of those memories that no serious athlete forgets. Core memory burned into our minds.

@T_Ram133 After I was eliminated from the auto-ncaa bid round my senior year. I gathered all my stuff and took off to the shower. Cried in there for at least twenty minutes. After that, I was totally numb. I think about that a lot.

What’s one of your core memories from your time as a college athlete that was big to you and not like winning a big event. Mine was stopping at the 3rd floor break room before the Carver renovations and getting a cup of the fountain machine coke. Man that hit so good after a hard workout. The day we lost that was a tragedy.

@Nic_Ryder @Bloodround I can tell you one thing that's not happening, and that's Nebraska going to National Duals

A non-conference schedule release in May?!? What is happening?

Still can't believe I built and shipped this

@Claunchinator @InterMat @GoGreenWrestle Too many characters not enough blue checkmark. Look at what elite marathon runner Rory Linkletter said about Americans being afraid. Gotta put your nuts on the table.

@InterMat @GoGreenWrestle Help me understand Bo Bassett. I feel like pace, energy, conditioning have always been essential to wrestling. How has he seemingly taken it to another level past where others have gone, and what other underrated aspects of his approach do you see that doesn’t get enough credit?

There's lots going on...US Open, RAF, portal, coaching, WTT's/Final X....get your questions in for @GoGreenWrestle 's Friday Mailbag!! 📨👜

@AustinSommer @InterMat @GoGreenWrestle They could double it so every varsity wrestler goes to NCAAs

@InterMat @GoGreenWrestle With the recent news of the NCAA potentially expanding the men’s basketball tournament to include more teams, would wrestling expanding the 33-man bracket be an overall positive or negative for the sport?

@TheCoachSentes @Bloodround @T_Ram133 I hope they plan to use it at WTT

@Bloodround Yes and also @T_Ram133 made me aware that there is a company that will put a heated pad under wrestling mat to keep condensation off it.

@TheCoachSentes are there any WIBN members that are a meteorologist? We need a go to man/ woman for outdoor events and condensation.

@Bradleyruns @DavidDack So your time was 3:25, got it

@DavidDack Didn’t forget to add in pee breaks. LOL My moving time for most of my 3:25’s was 3:19.

That marathon pace chart is useful but it also kinda messes with people. like… more than we admit. Because it makes the marathon look like a clean math problem. Pick a time. Find the pace. Repeat it 26 times. And if you’ve never been deep in a marathon, you read that and think ok so it’s just discipline. just hold the number. But that’s not what happens. The uncomfortable part is the chart doesn’t just show numbers. it kinda ranks people. quietly. Some people see it and go “makes it look so easy” and other people go “cool. another reminder I’m never qualifying for Boston” or “I’m discouraged now” That’s not really about pace. that’s about who you think you are as a runner. And then of course someone says it. they always say it. “Hobby joggers use the left columns. runners use the right.” I hate that line. I really do. It’s the same vibe as “real runners don’t walk” and it’s usually typed by someone who hasn’t had mile 20 grab them by the throat yet. The marathon does not care what you call yourself. It only cares what happens when your legs go empty and your brain starts negotiating with you like “ok just get to the next cone… ok just walk 20 seconds… ok just don’t stop.” Also… this thing people do where they take their half pace and copy paste it into a full. “If I could just run my half pace for a full I’d do 2:55” Yeah and if I could hold my 5K pace for 26 miles I’d be on TV. That’s not a plan. that’s a fantasy with a calculator. And I’m not trying to be mean here. I’m saying this because I’ve watched people get hurt by it. Sometimes pace charts become a comfort blanket. Like if the number exists on a graphic, then it must be reachable. like it’s sitting there waiting for you. But the marathon doesn’t care that the number looks tidy. You can be fit and still blow up because you fueled like an idiot. You can run great workouts and still get cooked by heat and humidity. You can “have the pace” and still fall apart because you didn’t have the durability for it. And here’s the part that’s gonna annoy some people but I think it’s true Some runners don’t fail the marathon because they’re weak. They fail because they picked a number that makes them feel like a runner… not a number they can actually survive. And before anyone twists that, if you’re in the left columns you’re not less. at all. You might actually be the honest one in the room. So ... What marathon time do you say you want? and what time do you think you’d run if the marathon took everything from you and didn’t give it back? #marathon

@oufeh The cure to a sub2 is treating sickle cell?

Just like EPO « emerged as a potential risk » in 1990… when 20% of the peloton was already taking it. I’ve already mentioned Etavopivat as a potential bulletproof endurance PED, increasing oxygen carried by red cells without changing blood profile.

@stevegarland125 @visionquestpod Slip is the worst rule in wrestling.

This sequence was ruled a “slipped throw” for red and blue was awarded no points. I repeat, blue scored zero points in this exchange. 😬🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

@JustinJBasch @pghwins Oh so he's pulling a Thomas Gilman "not retired" then?

@pghwins @thicccholas_ 🎯

Who wins this Freestyle tournament if it happens in 2026? Top 8 seeds: 1) Cael Sanderson 2) A Gorilla 3) Kurt Angle 4) David Taylor 5) Aleksandr Karelin 6) Kerry McCoy 7) Brock Lesnar 8) Yoel Romero Remember, Freestyle rules, so Gorilla could get DQ’d pretty easily against Lesnar.

@nhs67_jfish @212Hanma She has been and I hope she still is. Elor rivals Sadulaev for p4p and based on dominance I choose Elor

@thicccholas_ @212Hanma I respect your opinion, however I believe you'll end up being wrong. She hasn't stopped training, even during pregnancy. Mind you, at a lower intensity level. That said, even if she comes back at the same level, or even 10% less - she is still the best at 68 KG or 76 KG

MY LIST FOR LA28 🇺🇸 give me yours boys

@3371Williams @Kerrcybertruck Jakob failed miserably at the half by your standard.

@Kerrcybertruck He had a decent HM debut but can he drop a sub-60 before we rank him at 1, or heck, even run a marathon? It’d be like ranking Jakob as the favorite in the marathon. I mean, he’s probably going to be a monster but he hasn’t done it yet.

Grant Fisher should be ranked at 1 but I don’t think we’re ready for that conversation yet

@nhs67_jfish @212Hanma I'll be your huckleberry. No Amit because Welker keeps the spot. Overall M/W P4P gone as fast as it came, GOAT convo in serious peril. I could be very wrong, I fear I am right. I hope I am not.

@212Hanma No Amit?
