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.

Beatrice Chebet just ran 13:58 in the mid-day sun in Eugene, closing in 28.6 (!) for her last 200m. As incredible as this run was today, I expect she can go much, much faster in better conditions.

HEADS UP: the Men's 800 tonight here in Monaco, is POSSIBLY greatest ever line-up outside an Olympics. EVERY SINGLE PARIS FINALIST is starting, & 9 men's who've run sub-1:43! I think by some margin, it's the best in-depth 800m ever. At 8.23pm CET / 7.23pm UK. Herculis

Noah Lyles is back

Josh Hoey now owns 800m/1500m pbs of 1:42.01/3:29.75. No other person has run that combination of times. Only four other guys have broken 1:43 and 3:30: Sebastian Coe 1:41.73/3:29.77 Taoufik Makhloufi 1:42.61/3:28.75 Steve Cram 1:42.88/3:29.67 Ayanleh Souleiman 1:42.97/3:29.58

The NCAA has gone from developmental place to the one and only organized professional running league. The days of athletes like myself that are underdeveloped in high school no longer have a place at top programs!

Waiting for Kenyan parliament's reaction to this news...

If it seems too good to be true, it usually is. When I tweeted that her performance was hard to understand, unbelievable, and that we had to sadly consider drugs... I had all of Kenya come after me on here... It's sad. But if you spend time in the sport, you know what's fake

A brief timeline of events since Ruth Chepngetich's marathon world record... Oct. 13, 2024 - Ruth Chepngetich takes nearly two minutes off the marathon world record in 2:09:56 – becomes the first woman to break 2:11 and 2:10. In the post-race press conference, LetsRun's Robert

Doping steals $, careers, and moments... Think of it like this. At the 2021 Chicago marathon, Chepngetich won. If you take her out, American women would have gone 1, 2, and 3 at a world marathon major. Talk about a huge story and moment for the sport...gone...

I celebrate a high profile positive PED bust. Bad for the sport? NO What’s bad for the sport is a drugged athlete misleading the fans. A drug cheat stealing from races. A drug cheat stealing $$ and future earnings from clean athletes. That is what is bad for the sport.

Does our body have "muscle memory" for endurance adaptations? A fascinating study in the Journal of Applied Physiology explored this concept Researchers examined 20 young adults who underwent an eight-week high-intensity interval training (HIIT) program on stationary bikes,

Everyone seems very confident that Syd's breaking the 400m record. I, on the other hand, am not sure that she beats Paulino in Tokyo.

Track beef alert!!!

Nico Young plans to do the Diamond League final. If he wins (which, crazy to say, is not unlikely given his recent form, albeit it is a 3k and not a 5k)... Drew Hunter goes to worlds in the 5k

ICYMI -- Josh Hoey's coach Justin Rinaldi explained the thinking behind Hoey's front-running strategy on this LetsRun thread. Said that ideally he would have hit 400 in 49.7-50.0 rather than 49.2 -- and those small differences can add up in final 100m. letsrun.com/forum/flat_rea…
