I am extremely grateful to announce with less than 1 year of running competitively, I have committed to Lawrence Tech to continue my running and academic career. I want to thank my supportive family, my HS Coach, Megan Berry, and Coach Green at LTU for this amazing opportunity.

Championship season is upon us 🔥

[hansonsrun @hansonsrun]

Do you know what All Conference, All Region, All State, and All American have in common?

All are decided by place not time. A stop watch was not needed for any of them.

Learn to race for place.

[Brendan Thompson, PT, DPT @BrendanThompsn]

Tomorrow I travel to Budapest to support @ZachPanning running the WC Marathon. With no disrespect to any of the great athletes that I have coached over the past 25yrs, not a single one has had a build up that has gone as well as this. TUNE IN, ZACH IS READY FOR SOMETHING SPECIAL.

[UXCBOYS @UXCBOYS]

To this day, my all-time favorite running shoe! I love that it’s name has a history.

[hansonsrun @hansonsrun]

In 2003 @brooksrunning with help from @HansonsDistProj created the LAUNCH. A light weight training shoe. The name LAUNCH came from Stony Creek Metropark Boat LAUNCH where our daily runs begin. The park rebuilt the building & today gifted me some bricks from the original building.

[UXCBOYS @UXCBOYS]

Great 5k debut! This is just the beginning! 😎

[Silas Smith @SilasSm81439322]

I ran my first ever 5k last week and had a really good debut. I got 16:39 and won the race out of 276 runners.

[Steve Magness @stevemagness]

It's not about being 'soft', it's about giving people an environment where they can explore their potential, who they are, and where they fit in.

You have to balance challenge and genuine support.

And that comes from quieting your ego so you get out of the way.

[UXCBOYS @UXCBOYS]

@stevemagness Just got your book! Can’t wait to read it!

[Steve Magness @stevemagness]

When I started running, I asked my coach how to get better.

He said: show up to every practice

I got better. I asked again:

"Run on the weekends when we don't practice"

I got better

Showing up consistently is step 1 in any pursuit

Don't overcomplicate it when getting going

☀️ First day of summer conditioning

Big goals for this season.

[Steve Magness @stevemagness]

Sleep is the best performance enhancer there is.

Before you worry about magic supplements or buying the latest recovery gadget, figure out how to get your 7+ hours.

[Steve Magness @stevemagness]

Cross Country is a great metaphor for life.

From the outside, it looks like an individual sport. A bunch of people running their own race.

But in reality, it's a team sport. The sooner we embrace the team aspect, the better we perform, and the more joy and connection we create.
