Article about USATF and Shannon Rowbury by Letsrun- Why it matters: The USATF has been under scrutiny the past few years for lame leaders, bad meet protocol, and now this. USATF may be the leader of the sport, but do they do what is best for the sport?
Womens 1500 Recap by Milesplit- Why it matters: This was the race that Rowbury wanted to be in, but never the less the USA had a medalist in Jenny Simpson and the future of American distance running (actually by now she can be considered the present) Mary Cain was also in the final.
Ancillary Training Ideas by Jay Johnson- Why it matters: I'm a fan of adding in some strength work even for runners and a lot of that comes from Jay. Strength work keeps you healthy and can add some benefits more than just looking more toned. Thanks a lot Jay!
Being Average by Vern Gambetta- Why it matters: I love Vern's blog posts. They are short and to the point. They get you thinking. We see people who struggle to be average all the time. Maybe struggling to be elite is just as hard as struggling to be average? Just something to ponder.
NSAF Rosters for Pan-American Championships- Why it matters: Well, despite this being the "future" athletes of our sport, I had another reason for putting it up. Congrats to Dylan Duvio of John Curtis Christian School for making the roster! We wish you good luck!
