NFL training camp or World XC? This is “The Chicane,” where athletes have to weave in between (or, if you’re feeling foolish, hurdle over) rows of tires.

For elite 800m runners (1:47-1:44), maximal aerobic speed is not the whole story. Our work shows, it's maximal sprinting speed that sets apart the fastest performances. When normalizing aerobic capacity, the fastest times come from having a larger anaerobic speed reserve.

The world would be a better place if more of the look for hacks, hustle culture, and optimize everything folks read Once A Runner. There are no secrets. Just putting in the work.

Visiting with farmer Larry last night. Excited for the Nike XC Town Twilight Invitational tonight in Indiana.

The only way you can find out how good you are is by giving yourself a chance. Most of us excuse, rationalize, or give up before we've even give ourselves a shot. Put yourself in position to do something. Don't obsess over whether it'll work out or not. Be there first.

This is going to be a STATE CHAMPIONSHIP for BollesBoysXC. Three in a row in Class 2A. Bulldogs have five of the top 18 boys finishers, led by Chris Joost in second place.

Congrats to the boys' cross country team on a 3rd-straight state title and to the girls for placing as runner-up...their 16th straight year in the top two at state! ow.ly/IKHJ50Q8VQU #BulldogProud

Remember when you see an amazing team, they may not have an amazing culture. They may just have a lot of talent. What happens when all that talent is gone shows how strong that team’s culture actually is.
