Someone’s going to have a GREAT weekend story for school on Monday 😅

16-year-old Cooper Lutkenhaus improves his personal best, already the HS record, by an enormous 3+ seconds to take second in the #USATFOutdoors final in 1:42.27.

He sets a new U18 world record and becomes the youngest athlete ever to represent Team USA at a World Championship.

Lutkenhaus moved from seventh to second in the last 200m, splitting a ridiculous 12.48 last 100m down the homestretch.

Lutkenhaus lowers his own HS national record to 1:42.27!

Endurance sport is mental training

You are alone in your head for long periods of time with ever increasing levels of discomfort. You have a goal that half your mind is screaming to abandon

You repeat this day after day & have no option but to figure it out

Some tools to help:

Happy Thanksgiving!

Gratitude is the ultimate biohack.

It reduces stress, improves sleep, strengthens immune health, and can even aids digestion. The vagus nerve connects your brain and gut—gratitude activates it, calming your system.

A grateful heart truly improves your health.

What are you thankful for today? 👇

[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.

[Kourtney Morris @coachmorrisDSHS]

Congrats Lucy on signing to run XC and track at TULSA! They are lucky to have you.
