Just want to mention (again!) what an inspiring athlete Dot McMahan of Hansons Brooks ODP is.
In February, 2024 she finished her 5th Olympic Trials Marathon, and last Saturday she won the #Crim10Mile for the 2nd straight year in 55:48.
That's 5:35/mi pace for 10 miles for a 48 year-old woman.

I’m not trying to create any beef but Mercier Scoring tables says that 13:58 for 5000 is equivalent to 4:04 in the Mile. That was run with legal shoes. It was run on gun time. It was without male pacers running her all the way to the finish line. Just saying. That was special.

In the past week I’ve had 3 coaches reach out to me about dealing with parents, administration, and other coaches.
I told all 3 of them the same thing.
None of us began coaching for the parents, the administration, or other coaches. Just remember, we do it for the athletes.

Amy Davis-Green of @hansonsrun.bsky.social finished second at last year's #Delightful5K in Albany, NY, but this year she's running 12 weeks pregnant.
"Right now my body is slowly changing, and kind of like embracing the new changes," she said.

I would like to create an annual DEVELOPMENT AWARD for the top Collegiate program that is developing athletes.
In the age of limited spots on a roster, and buying ready made plug and play athletes, coaches that still believe in development deserve recognition.
Help me with ideas?

Distance running improvement (development) requires time and consistency. This is true with beginners as well as pro level runners.
The process deserves to be recognized and celebrated, not just the results.

The horrible numbers in the 90s was the motivation for why Hansons-Brooks Distance Project began.
A bit of history happened Sunday in Prague: With his 2:09:46 for 3rd, Andrew Colley brought the average of U.S.A. men's 10 best marathon times for 2025 to 2:08:41, making it already the fastest year ever for American men. Previous record was 2:08:47 for all of 2024.

Brooks-Hansons Original Distance Project and Brooks Running will continue as partners through at least 2028.
"Brooks understood that creating competitive marathoners takes years and they have always supported the journey," said @hansonsrun.bsky.social in a news release.

USATF will not have a 2025 edition of the LA Grand Prix at USATF.
Instead, they just announced they’ll work w/ Sound Running and combine their efforts around Track Fest on May 24th at Occidental College. It will be a World Athletics silver label event featuring races from the 800m to the 10,000m.

I love when I see a professional athlete or coach choose a contract worth less money.
It proves that they understand that sometimes there are things more important than money.

Heading to SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO with 3 athletes all excited to participate in THE TEN. 5 years ago
Sound Running recognized that there were limited opportunities for Pro runners to run a quality 10,000 so in an attempt to save the event THE TEN was born. Our sport thanks you.

Always fun to run Bank of America Shamrock Shuffle. A victory for Amy Davis Green in 25:31. She led the charges in the Coed Division with a team victory. We also won the Women’s division.

If you are anywhere from 4 to 8 weeks out from your marathon and you have fresh legs and feeling great, you are probably doing it wrong.

Those that want to make a difference in our sport should do it without bringing WA or USATF to the table. They are both in the business of taking and provide very little to any event.
Bummed, but unsurprised, by this news. The model for hosting WA/USATF champs is broken. Onus is on LOC/host city to do all the work—governing bodies don't do a lot beyond taking credit. (Also, not convinced "Road Running Championships" will ever catch on. Sorry.) worldathletics.org/news/press-r...
