It’s not super complicated.

Most people don't run enough to reach their potential.

It's just a fact.

The average 3hr+ marathoner does ~40mpw.

No one runs their best marathon on 40mpw.

I understand why: jobs, life, etc.

But the simplest way to improve your PR for novices is to figure out how to run more

Shocking. Devastating.

Sad and shocking news out of Kenya.

Marathon world record holder Kelvin Kiptum has died at 24 years old after a car accident along the Eldoret-Kaptagat road, according to a report from The Standard newspaper. Multiple journalists in Kenya have also reported the news.

“This was a self-involved accident where one Kelvin Kiptum, the world marathon record holder, was driving his vehicle with two passengers. Kiptum and Hakizimana died on the spot and the third person was rushed to Racecourse Hospital in Eldoret,” Elgeyo Marakwet Police Commander Peter Mulinge told The Nation. The outlet reports his coach Garvais Hakizimana also died in the accident.

Last year, Kiptum broke the marathon world record, running 2:00:35 in Chicago, and was preparing to run the Rotterdam Marathon in April in an attempt to break the two-hour barrier. He was also expected to be named to Kenya’s team for the Paris Olympics.

There are two distinct types of collegiate male distance runners. There are those running 90 mpw who are begging to run 100, and there are those running 70 mpw begging to run 50. No middle.

[Matt Logan @CoachMattLogan]

It does? Are you sure?

I’m starting to get ideas!!

@RTaylorFBscout @fale_gatoloai Unless he can also run the 10k on the track, I think you tagged the wrong coach Matt Logan! 😉😉

My Observation: When an athlete can sustain more than 300 watts for a 20-minute period, it is likely they are under-fueled for most of their intense training sessions.

Many athletes fail to adjust their nutrition to match their improvements in power output. I've observed athletes increase their LT2 by 30-40 watts, only to encounter performance issues because their nutritional intake remains unchanged from previous levels.

Simply put, if you're generating more power, you need more fuel to sustain it.

That was electric @WorldAthletics

A lot of Adidas spikes in that 100m final.

An alternative description for the “medium long run” is a “run.”

@isaacegbertwood @CoachDistance Single digit.

[Nick Dodson @CoachDot5084]

Division II guy runs top time in the world. Top 20 all-time and #11 in US history. That should silence the haters 🤷🏽‍♂️

PSA:

Track is the type of sport that will quickly expose those who haven’t been fully committed from those who have.
