@sabrinablittle @Predamame But they only take away results from when the doping is found. Unless they retest an old Olympic sample with new methods and find something new she’d keep her gold.

[Jonathan Gault @jgault13]

Peres Jepchirchir is the 2021 Olympic marathon champion, 2025 world marathon champion, winner of Boston/NYC/London Marathons. Three-time World Half Marathon champion.

One of the biggest doping busts ever if the suspension is upheld.

[Athletics Integrity Unit @aiu_athletics]

The AIU has provisionally suspended reigning World and former Olympic champion, Peres Jepchirchir, after an out-of-competition sample, collected in Kenya prior to her recent Sydney Marathon victory, returned an adverse analytical finding for EPO. 1/2

Over 5 days of running for a new Backyard Ultra WR for a pair of Belgian men in their 50s! Experience and long-term endurance count the most in these events. #SharmanUltraCoaching #embracetheSUC

The hard way to race a marathon…

[Steve Magness @stevemagness]

Be very wary of those who try to intentionally make ideas more complex by using big words for the sake of using big words. Concepts have to be simple to be practical and usable.

Can’t wait!

One of the most fun parts of racing is a battle in the final miles. I’ll never get bored of it and it doesn’t require youth or extreme fitness, just the desire to push. #embracetheSUC #SharmanUltraCoaching

Chatting to the publisher, Human Kinetics, I discuss "The Art of Ultrarunning" and some of the key strategies and stories that will help you train and race better, no matter how experienced you are: https://t.co/Cmvdmn1F8V

[iRunFar @iRunFar]

What does running look like when it’s less about the finish line and more about how you experience the world?

iRunFar talks with runner, writer, and thinker Nicholas Triolo about running, wandering, and the art of movement.

This was the most in-depth interview I've done about "The Art of Ultrarunning." We discussed almost every chapter on the "Running Book Reviews with Alan and Liz" podcast, including how the ideas and stories apply to all runners, not just ultrarunners. https://t.co/Uizdjnmbka
