16h 30m to cover 100k for the leaders. 😳 Not sure people were expecting this course to run this tough! Couple notes: (1) After some gnarly battles with the heat 200 mile specialist Mike McKnight has rampaged his way into 2nd, and (2) there are 9 women in the top 20. #Cocodona250

[Treeline Journal @TreelineJ]

This is epic. Michael McKnight is SUFFERING in the heat! Says he took more naps in a single 20 mile stretch than he did in any of his other 200s combined! 🤯 Starting to think the heat-adapted are going to excel out there! But hey, Mike is a beast and rallying! 🙌🏻🙌🏻 #Cocodona250

When you run with people all the time it’s OKAY to decide it’s too fast or too slow for you. Listen to your body and do what is best for it.

As a 60yr old man I am supposed to hate the fact that “Super Spikes” were not available when I was racing.

I disagree with this take.

I am lucky because I never had to compete in what my predecessors had to wear.

Life changes and I choose to be happy for the next generation.

Top 26 at #Cocodona250. Maggie moving up, Coree and Wisebram fell back. We’re in the heat of the day and they’ve already climbed 9,500 feet. Only 220 miles to go. 😈

Women's 5000: Veterans Molly Huddle & Jenny Simpson both entered here.

Congrats to our athlete @sika_henry on qualifying for her Pro Card this past weekend, making her the first female African American professional triathlete! 🙌 #TimeToFly

Nice matchup on tap at the Oregon Twilight on Friday night at Hayward Field, a month out from the NCAA champs: NCAA mile champ Cole Hocker vs. NCAA 1500 champ Yared Nuguse.

In our weekly recap, we note the absence of Ethiopian legends @KenenisaBekele and @tirudibaba from their marathon team and wonder if US sprint stars @ErriyonK and @JaylenSlade will someday join them as Olympic legends. https://t.co/C1LZd59vII

They're off! Runners of the #Cocodona250 are about 8-10 miles into their journey. @AravaipaRunning bringing the live coverage. Great commentary so far, had some Jam Jam trail cam footage & all the favorites are in the mix. Michael Versteeg a touch off the front. This is insane!

[Treeline Journal @TreelineJ]

Top 12. Still tightly bunched. Two things: (1) I thought Coree Woltering would go out a little more conservatively, and (2) I like that Wisebram Guterl pairing. #Cocodona250

Ethiopian Olympic Committee says @KenenisaBekele will participate in the #Tokyo2020 Games..

But it's @eaf_ethio responsibility to pick the team. I sense some power play battle between EOC and EAF..

And will Sisay Lemma be dropped to pave way for Bekele?

7 mental habits that work really well until they get in the way:

Grit.
Making it—whatever "it" may be—happen.
Routine.
Self-discipline.
Measurement and tracking.
Freedom and openness.
Rigidity and order.

Lesson I've learned: Its not a sign of weakness to respect athletes that are better than you, its a sign of strength

Googling something does not mean you’ve done research.

Just a message some may need to hear...

[Jonathan Gault @jgault13]

Worth noting here that Jaylen Slade and Erriyon Knighton are both juniors in high school. No American high schooler has ever broken 10.00 in the 100. Youngest to ever do it was Trayvon Bromell (18 years, 338 days).

Both Slade and Knighton are 17.

He’s on another level!!! According to @uponward, Dylan Bowman set the new supported FKT on the Backbone Trail in 9h 49m!! Shaved off another 23 minutes. 😳 This FKT is getting stout! Who’s next?

CONGRATS @dylanbo!! 🙌🏻
