Knowledge Is Power: October 4th

This week has some exceptionally good reads.  Enjoy!

How To Organize Your Own Track Meet by SpikesMag- Why it matters: While the sport has some of the highest participation rates in the country, there is still a big void with the fanbases.  See what Nick Willis did to get people out to his sub-4 mile.

How To Perform When It Counts by SpikesMag- Why it matters: Who doesn't want to peak at the right time?  SpikesMag interviews Jenny Simpson to see what she has to say about the matter.  By the way, where did this website come from?  They have great stuff!


Jenny Barringer-Simpson on the way to the medal stand.

Safe To Eat Soy? by NY Times- Why it matters: I remain skeptical about the health benefits of soy, and no one is going to tell me any form of processed soy is good, because processed food has reduced amount of nutrients.  This article shows that soy may not be harmful, but I implore readers to stay educated on the topic.

Unionville Blog #2 by Milesplit PA- Why it matters:  Unionville beat the multiple time defending national champions Fayetteville Manlius by a good margin.  FM usually saves its best races for the end of the year, but was this large margin of victory a taste of things to come?  Can FM be dethroned?

Full Speed Ahead For Haney by Dyestat- Why it matters: Blake looks like he is the top runner in the country so far this year, although there is still plenty of running left to do.  See how he persevered through injury to come back and be a force this year.
