"If you want something bad enough, stick to the plan,
be consistent, keep putting in the work and
you’ll see the results at some point. Maybe it’ll be in a year.
Maybe it will be in six years."
Zach Bitter quote above was in an interview Gary Cohen did with Zach

It is hard enough to break into the elite level in running without other hurdles. The USATF has once again shown it is not really there for the up and coming athlete as they disallowed Erin Gregoire's time in Houston as she had to run from the B corral so here gun time was off even though her chip time was under the OTQ. She had tried to get into the A corral but as this was here debut marathon she did not get in. I understand not giving her the win, if she had run that fast but if a chip time is good enough to get one into Boston and other race and since we cannot all start on the starting line in group A what's the problem. I hope they change there mind as rules are there, and are needed, but there has to be reason used as well.

With the Olympic Marathon Trials coming up Feb 29th Galen Rupp runs a 1/2 Marathon in Arizona which will be his first race since he dropped out of the Chicago Marathon in October
A look at the shoe ruling from the Irish Times - shoes have evolved - for good and bad - but where is the line drawn.
Very sad - be careful out there when running - even if on the sidewalk as these runners were.
On Feb 2 got their 100th man, not performances but individuals, to run under 2:10 in the marathon. In contrast, and I could not find a more recent list yet than this one from 2015 that shows only 16 and can add Galen Rupp to the list for 17 runners.
Is it better to run the same miles over less days with more rest or in shorter runs over more day
