Dick Beardsley, who finished 2nd at the 1982 #BostonMarathon in 2:08:54, is facing mounting medical expenses due to an antibiotic-resistant infection in his knee. A friend has organized a fundraiser for him. You can learn more and contribute here: gofundme.com/f/am55wp

The debate on Ruth Chepngetich's stunning sub-2:10 marathon WR rolls on. 3 thoughts from me: - women gain more from supershoes than men - she left ~60s on the table from drafting - there's no ROC curve that allows you to reliably determine if she's doping outsideonline.com/health/tra…

Ruth Chepngetich’s New Marathon Record Was Outrageous. Was It Fair?

Critics say the first sub-2:10 marathon was impossible—and fueled by doping. Our columnist examines the science as he tries to make sense of the backlash.

"Fourth in that field is super impressive. I'd take fourth in that 10K over most Olympic medals in other events.” cbc.ca/sports/olympics/summe…

Why a 4th-place finish in 10,000m meant as much to Moh Ahmed as 'most Olympic medals' | CBC Sports

The Olympic men’s 10,000-kilometre record had stood since 2008. But on Friday, in one fell swoop, 13 different athletes went faster. Canada’s Moh Ahmed, painfully, missed the podium in fourth.

After dueling over 5000m at the 2003 Paris World Champs (Kipchoge 🥇, Bekele 🥉) these two legends will be facing off again in the Olympic marathon in Paris. 21 years later! At the time some thought these guys were much older than their birth certificates would indicate.

The case for tearaway warm-ups: neat research from @EELBrock finds that (contrary to earlier research) being cold directly compromises endurance, likely to due to constricted blood vessels and other mechanisms. Even superficial cooling has a big effect. outsideonline.com/health/tra…

How Cold Weather Saps Your Endurance

Contrary to what scientists once thought, even superficial cooling is enough to interfere with muscle oxygen supply.

Most supplements, in my view, are useless. That's not a controversial take. But I argue here that the *pursuit* of supplements and other hacks directly undermines our quest for better performance and health in several ways. Everything has a cost. ⬇️ outsideonline.com/health/tra…

Most Supplements Don’t Work. But That’s Not the Worst Part.

The pursuit of performance in a bottle inherently undermines our attempts to get faster, stronger, and healthier, our Sweat Science columnist argues

It's been a tough 3 years, but a hard fought 2:10:39 PB for Tristan Woodfine. Moves up to #7 Canadian all-time, just 10s behind his coach, @ReidCoolsaet.

31 of 72 auto qualifiers (2:26:50) in the women’s marathon on “Road to Paris” list came from Valencia. 22 of 61 auto Qs (2:08:10) for the men were from Valencia. Next closest for both M & F is Berlin with 6 auto Qs each. Only top 3 per country included on Road to Paris list

Canadians finish 2nd in both Men’s & Women’s division at @jfk50mile . Plus Valérie Arsenault 3rd. @CalNeff and Robyn Mildren both ran the fastest times ever by Canadians on the course by about 20 minutes each. Cal was 10 minutes back of winner and Robyn only 4 minutes back!

I read @TheLapCount every week, it’s the perfect mix of entertainment and information. Admittedly I often skim “The Athlete’s Voice” but this week @IsaacUpdike’s entry was very interesting and insightful. Such a different HS experience within North America.
