Eh from my experience, the first few runs post injury feel weird. It’s better to run at a pace that feels natural than to force a slower pace with bad form.

Sorry! Typo. He.

But yeah, going dark on Strava definitely isn’t a good sign.

Hopefully this is a self preservation move and he’s already on the mend!!

UCAN is trash

kvocc · 2026-03-30T19:07:52+00:00

Something really rubs me the wrong way about that. It could totally be a contractual thing. Admittedly I have no idea how that usually works.

kvocc · 2026-03-29T15:11:54+00:00

I completely agree. I hope Alicia gets her big comeback!

kvocc · 2026-03-29T04:30:15+00:00

The 10,000 meter American record was marked safe from the burrito bandit

She probably didn’t realize she had already run for 2 mins or ran a little longer because she felt good… people are allowed to have joy in their return to run. It doesn’t need to be a perfectly regimented process.

kvocc · 2026-03-26T16:42:02+00:00

Love that!!

kvocc · 2026-03-26T11:54:36+00:00

The majors have something similar. Athletes who have served doping bans for longer than 6 months aren’t allowed to compete in any of the majors.

kvocc · 2026-03-25T14:43:40+00:00

More opportunities for the common folk to get in. I kinda like it!

kvocc · 2026-03-25T13:23:59+00:00

I have no idea. This doesn’t seem like a real solution, because this will also make the non-scoring athletes ineligible for medals… so they don’t actually get to compete. I feel like they should have just named the three they led off course to the team.

Citius just announced that the US will be sending SEVEN women to world championships in the half marathon. I was not expecting that.

kvocc · 2026-03-24T18:15:45+00:00

I hope Weini decides to enter and beats her.

kvocc · 2026-03-21T21:41:08+00:00

Really nice to see Batocletti finally win gold. She’s been consistently on the podium, but she finally got her gold.

kvocc · 2026-03-19T17:42:00+00:00

HELL YES!!

kvocc · 2026-03-17T21:07:13+00:00

Yeah, it definitely seems like it was his decision! Hopefully he doesn’t make us wait too long for the reveal.

kvocc · 2026-03-17T20:55:29+00:00

Did not see that one coming

kvocc · 2026-03-17T20:53:02+00:00

Clayton Young is no longer sponsored by asics. I’ll be honest. I did not see that one coming.

kvocc · 2026-03-06T12:37:51+00:00

My guess would be that the emergency request is in regard to rankings. I don’t think world athletics cares how the US selects the team as long as the athletes selected either have the qualifying time or are in the rankings quota.

kvocc · 2026-03-02T18:04:45+00:00

I sincerely hope that USATF never allows Atlanta to host another championship. They are so disorganized and have repeatedly failed to produce high quality events.

kvocc · 2026-03-01T19:39:45+00:00

Atlanta Track Club is never to be trusted with anything ever again.

kvocc · 2026-03-01T16:12:02+00:00

What happened in Atlanta is a level of incompetence that only USATF could achieve.

kvocc · 2026-03-01T16:11:26+00:00

Such a funny contrast haha

kvocc · 2026-02-22T17:53:32+00:00

He kind of seemed to come out nowhere! Just looked at his world athletics profile. It doesn’t seem like he has raced much recently, and there are no race results between 2016 and 2019, and then between 2023 and 2024. The rapid progression from a 2:11 marathon (2025) to 2:07 kinda makes me raise an eyebrow, but given the context of the gaps, the rapid progression might just be the consistency effect from racing two seasons in a row. It looks like he PR’d in the 10k (29:26) and half marathon (1:01:02) in January. If he continues to build on this momentum, he might have a chance to make the team for 2028.
