Throwback Thursday: Matthew Elliott by Running Times- Why it matters: Elliott is such a great guy who had a very inspirational interview after his fourth place finish at the US champs this summer where he had to walk away after a happy, tearful breakdown. He was only a 4:42 miler in high school. He should be the model for what the sport is really about.

Mead High School 20 Years Ago by Dyestat- Why it matters: I've always believed that we should know where the sport has come from in the past so we can see if we are improving or regressing, and we should also use others as a lesson. Mead was one of the best teams in the 90s and Doug Binder explores them a bit here.

Competitor Groups Decision by Flotrack- Why it matters: This is another post about the situation with Competitor group not supporting elite athletes anymore. I don't usually agree with Flotrack, but this is worth considering.
Nutrition by Athletics Weekly- Why it matters: People are always asking me about nutritional advice and I usually yield to better sources of information since I'm a coach, not a nutritionist. AW gives you some food for thought here on protein.
