College sports weren’t created to build professional teams. They were created to teach life lessons through sport.

As we reshape the NCAA, we can’t lose sight of that purpose.

Proud to create those opportunities at FURMAN 🤝🏼💜 https://t.co/hU1r46BHDl

Cal and Stanford playing a single elimination game in Charlotte, North Carolina will never not be funny.

A Georgia Tech engineer + thousands of bricks = this felt inevitable.👀

Wreck-ognized at @atlantabrickcon: a fan made Tech Tower replica built by Julie Hall, PSY 99, a Tech alumna and with PeachLug, who created the Georgia Tech brick pieces.

Russia can not be allowed back in int'l competition for a LONG time.
"Russia's doping program and its political assassination program not only share personnel — they also share a physical address and the same director. This is not by coincidence."

Runners: Go get this book.

I don't say this lightly. But Marius Bakken has released a game changer of a book on training. It's fantastic. A book I wish I had decades ago.

It just came out. Grab your copy today:

@phofmahoney In the mid-1990s ACCs was on a 160m banked board track in the Greensboro coliseum. It would have to get put back together mid-meet each year. You'd get lapped out down to 12 rummers in the 3k and 5k so it was a hammerfest at the start.

Sam Ruthe's East Coast odyssey included not only a World Youth record & a tactical lesson, but also new friends, a Kiwi reunion and lots of snow! Link to the full article below!

@penaltyloop My wife and I really enjoyed the Open European Champs coverage this year.

[CITIUS MAG @CitiusMag]

Jeff Galloway, a 1972 U.S. Olympian and beloved coach, but perhaps best known for teaching the world that slowing down was the secret to going further, has died at the age of 80. 🕊️

His revolutionary run-walk-run method (affectionately known around the world as “Jeffing”) transformed marathon running from an elite pursuit into something beautifully ordinary, accessible to anyone willing to lace up their shoes.

He survived a devastating heart attack in 2021, where his heart stopped for four and a half minutes before five stents brought him back. Doctors credited his decades of endurance training with helping keep him alive. True to form, he responded not by resting on his laurels, but by relearning to walk and then planned to return to the marathon. Before an injury forced him to scratch from last December’s Honolulu Marathon, Galloway was set to become the first person to complete a marathon in eight consecutive decades. He was planning to return in 2026.

“My mission now, at the age of 80-plus, is to show that people can do things that are normally not done, and can do them safely,” he told The New York Times last month.

Galloway’s Book on Running is considered probably the best-selling running coaching book of all time.

Jeff Galloway opened up running to everyone. He is survived by every single person who ever doubted themselves, took their first step and made it to the other side of a finish line that they initially didn’t think would be possible. ♥️

As a former U.S. Surgeon General who held an active medical license and practiced medicine while in the role (at Walter Reed and aboard the USS Comfort) it is incomprehensible that the Senate is even considering a nominee for this role who lacks any active license and has never practiced unsupervised. 🤯

And every summer run in Atlanta.

[Steve Magness @stevemagness]

@TobiTheRunner That would be called just about every summer run in Houston Tx during my entire life...

Even then, you're find if hydrated going in. But I also trust people to understand context. Thus, why I said "most"
