Totally. Boston is a strategic marathon, with Heartbreak looming large from the gun. Meb ran this like an absolute chess match. Yeah, he had some help — from Hall, who didn't chase, and from Boit, whose breakaway allowed Meb to distance himself from the pack after the Kenyans figured he wasn't a threat. But the…

exactly, thank you. the best 10K i ever ran was exactly like this. we just went after it like crazed men. sprinting the last quarter mile, after trading places for the mile before the finish. i finally said "it's yours." and dropped back two steps. he got first, i got second in our age group, fourth and fifth…
Can you really call it impeding the process? If the American's were not going to reel in a breakaway and let the other racers draft on them it's not an impediment unless that's their designated job, which they're electing not to do. Any of the 14 other guys could've pushed the pace too. They would've burnt…
This isn't new to the sport and the proverbial definition of "team sport" doesn't apply to running but its definitely still a team sport. Its part of it. Amateurs do similar things (not to the extent to out maneuver others) to get your best time by latching on or "working together" to pull each other. A stranger…
As a non-runner it's really interesting to hear things like this, since I always kind of assumed that all you had to do to win a race was, you know, run faster than everybody else.
In many other races he would have been, but this is Boston. With the exception of the charity slot runners, everyone in this race has qualified with a fast time for their age group. It's like saying you went sub-10 at Ironman in Kona. It's a hell of a fast race, but you're a long way from the podium in any age group…
An American is an American is an American.
Girls: so clingy sometimes.

I'm a HIIT instructor, and I run (because I find it fun). I've had people in my classes go down on random injuries before which involve knees as well as shin splints. Tabata and HIIT can cause different injuries in the long term. Especially if you put Plyometrics in with your HIIT (which some of my students prefer).
That's not entirely the case though.
The thing is, you do get non-bitchy Conservative Christians. I know a few, and they're all about running soup kitchens and giving to the poor and trying to live good lives (granted, they are pretty quiet about it). I've yet to encounter an anti-vaxxer who wasn't a total and complete whacko whining about how science…
Here's the thing, though: Even if Boeheim's assessment is correct, he shouldn't be saying that shit out loud on TV. He owes more to Tyler Ennis than Ennis does to him, and if he were a good dude he would try to help the kid out by being as complimentary as possible when asked questions like this. Doing a solid for a…
But what if the dealer misdiagnoses the issue and it ends up being a far simpler fix? Do continue on with the "story" that it was a wiring harness issue or tell the truth and reveal the problem was misdiagnosed and the actual fix was far easier solution, costing the customer much less?
Parker, this is a fascinating article for me as a former professional track athlete. The brutal reality of racing sports (whether in a car, or on foot, bike, skates, whatever) and golf is that ONE guy wins and the rest of the people don't, and one guy even gets DFL (this acronym is familiar to everyone who's been…
Man, I cringed for you last week. You and your sponsors need to know you have a large fan base that's only getting larger from your willingness to do articles like this!
Pop up headlights weren't federally mandated. And Jalopnik loves them.
Not to be a Debby Downer, but he is a survivor of bone marrow cancer. I believe that it can have lasting effects on bone strength.
Baylor suffers from Multiple Myeloma- a form of blood cancer. One of the symptoms is bone pain and can worsen with activity.
