Today is #BellLetsTalk Day! One of the ways we can all take action is to learn about mental health organizations creating positive change for mental health in Canada…every day.
And...this is why our sport sucks.
We ruined a huge moment for the USA on home turf for the first time ever, with an athlete who is going to the NFL... all over a completely arbitrary rule based on a thousandth of a second.
Track shoots itself in its foot over and over again.
Don't believe me?
Lots of research here. It's a BS rule. You literally can't distinguish that 0.099 is impossible to react but 0.10 is possible.

This week we speak with Olympic decathlon champion & Olympic record-holder Damian Warner. We chat about his outstanding performance in Tokyo, the unique challenges he faced to get there, becoming a new father and much more! @CanadianRunning@DamianWarner

Many of us think we are the elite performer who is looking for the final 1% to push us to gold.
The reality is...most of us are the person who needs to simply exercise most days, eat some vegetables, take a walk, sleep more, and that would boost our performance and well-being.
