"People lose tension when they run. The feeling of self respect will almost always increase. You accept yourself a little more."

This week's Interview Tuesday was with Duffy Sutton, enjoy
Check out Episode 80 of the Negative Splits Podcast as they talk to Joseph Gray. Joe is probably one of the best runners in the US but sadly often overlooked as his niche is in that area between the roads and Ultra distance. Seems there is a gap in what is covered in that often you see info on road races up to marathons then the jump is to Ultras but for those, such as Joe, who run Cross Country and trails of less than 50k there is a void. Did you know Joe won the Pan American Cross Country Championships and led the US men to overall victory tis year and won the World Mountain Running Championships in 2016? Check out the show and make sure to keep up with Joe online on Twitter & Instagram. He is running Boston this year so will be nice to see how he does.

Citrus Mag looks at the cities bidding to be the host for the 2020 Olympic Marathon Trials: Chattanooga, Austin, Orlando & Atlanta- a link will be provided when it is posted. In case you were interested here are the criteria for the course. One thing I have not heard is what the course and conditions are expected to be for the 2020 marathon in Tokyo I believe that the Olympic Marathon selection should be done on a course and in conditions that mimic, as best they can, the race that will take place at the olympics.
