A request we received after the posting the 1600 graphic: isolate the sprint data.

[Shawn Siemers @Siemers_XC_TF]

A new runner doesn't quit XC because the sport is hard.

They quit because you let them fail in public.

Put a kid in a session they can't finish and you think you're toughening them up.

You're not.

They watch varsity close out the reps. Look down at their own unfinished workout. And quietly decide this isn't for them.

Usually by day eight...

Scale it so they finish.

Finish it well.

They walk off the track with PROOF instead of DOUBT.

Nobody builds belief out of a workout they bailed on.

Nick Saban, discussing collectives, outlines what Alabama was working with

Says he had $2.7 million in his first year of NIL, then $7 million, and then $10 million.

After he retired, he said it jumped to $17 million, then $24 million.

“Now you have schools at $40 million”

What do YOU believe is the leading cause of Trackflation?

[MileSplit US @milesplit]

Is trackflation real? 🤔

According to the MileSplit database, the number of boys breaking 4:30 in the 1600m has grown dramatically since 2019.

Better training? Better shoes? Better competition? More opportunities?

What's driving it? 👇

Since the Palisades Fire, Pali Football has been without a weight room. Instead of making excuses, these young men found ways to keep working by joining gyms across LA, training on their own and together, and continuing to push each other every day… continued below ⬇️
