Tokyo Olympics 2012 by Wikipedia- Why it matters: The Olympics are the biggest stage of the sport and in 2020 it will be returning to Tokyo. Will Tokyo be ready to host the event by then?
Columbia XC by Columbia Spectator- Why it matters: Programs that want to get insight on what successful programs do to rise to the top should seek out articles like this.
Greed of Competitor by Letsrun- Why it matters: The big issue here is that Competitor bought a bunch of major road races around the country and have decided to stop supporting the elite fields. Many of these races are steeped in history. This does not help the sport at the top level and needs to be combated.
Rock n Roll is owned by Competitor Group.
State of the Sport by Steve Magness- Why it matters: I don't agree with everything Steve says, but he bring up some interesting points. This goes along with the competitor story above. What can we do to promote the sport?
How Much Should You Pay Your Coach? by Ann Gaffigan- Why it matters: Ann is a pro runner and is addressing other pro runners here, but I found it interesting because it shows the relationship between pro athletes and their coaches and gives an idea of how payment works.
