@erinstrout @fast_women Gotcha - thank you!

[alexandra @Alex_Runs42k]

@fast_women @erinstrout Unsportsmanlike conduct is basically what that rule reads as but what happened?

[alexandra @Alex_Runs42k]

@McKirdyTrained Honest question since you coach high level athletes - why do you think this is? We obviously have high level men out there racing?

[alexandra @Alex_Runs42k]

@stevemagness What is the women’s equivalent of a 2:01/1:59, or the mens WR and mens fastest time ever and yes I know that was very scientifically produced, I’m just curious.

[alexandra @Alex_Runs42k]

@jamesjonesesq 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ back in the early 2000s my college teammates were doing giant fulls into their dismounts - sorry mykayla 🤷‍♀️🤨

@MrORuns I mean, the first choice was Chattanooga…guessing we are now seeing why

@McKaleDavis @BostonMar_Pro I ran in the Elite field at NYC in 2016 (I had a PR of 2:45 at the time) and was sitting across from Gwen Jorgenson, Molly Huddle was on the bus and the current world champ at the time. Imposter syndrome was going strong 😆 GOOD LUCK!!!

[alexandra @Alex_Runs42k]

@McKaleDavis Skechers really had a missed opportunity there

[alexandra @Alex_Runs42k]

@JasonFitz1 Because runners in the US will jog in circles around their mailbox to get their GPS to read 5.0 miles so racing 4.98 miles is unacceptable 😆😆😆 (yes im from the US, but I also hate any distance under 10 miles 🤣)

@collegegymnews_ Short sleeve leotards look terrible on everyone - I wouldn’t put my level 3 team in this leotard, let alone a team of adult women.

[alexandra @Alex_Runs42k]

@hurdle1gal @fast_women so did mine but just below that in blue caps it should say “View Entire Message” and then you can read the whole thing (I also have gmail).

[alexandra @Alex_Runs42k]

@karagoucher Love this idea!

[alexandra @Alex_Runs42k]

@hansonsrun @hansonsodp @samluvs2run @will_shriver89 Good luck!!! Is Detroit sanctioned as an OTQ course this year?

[alexandra @Alex_Runs42k]

@McKaleDavis @KeiraDAmato @trackjenny I like the zoom flys as a trainer too!

[alexandra @Alex_Runs42k]

@SaraHall3 Haha I am 100% a forefoot runner (Makes me feel less like I’m cheating when I wear super-shoes). And yes, YEARS ago, when I was still a gymnast I tried heel striking because I thought that was ”normal” - it’s SO weird and I would never try it now 😆

[alexandra @Alex_Runs42k]

@erinstrout It should be coaches at the youth/high school/club level. You have a group of kids interested in a sport, promote it. Make a big deal about meets, televised or not. I coach gymnastics and if its on tv we tell the kids and we talk about the results.

[alexandra @Alex_Runs42k]

@McKirdyTrained @TCTCbayshore @hansonsrun They were a qualifier in the past - kind of weird that they wouldn’t get a sanction (assuming athletes/coaches asked about it).

[alexandra @Alex_Runs42k]

@TheRealMerb I ran that race today!

@scottfaubs X-men movies

@runcamille @centurionrunner @hoka @COROSGlobal @squirrelsnutbut @MaurtenOfficial @goodr Ahhh gotcha - thought because it’s the national championships but world records are cool too 😆🤣
