This is being exposed now for one reason and one reason only. We are facing a strike at the end of the season and they want you to take the side of the players. Millionaires vs Billionaires

I started coaching HS girls in 1981. After 4yrs of success the AD sat me down to let me know that I had proven myself and he offered me the boys position. The offer seemed so demeaning to the girls. I declined and continued coaching the girls for another 30yrs.

At Sunday's #HoustonMarathon? 49 year-old Dot McMahan will attempt to qualify for her 6th USA Olympic Marathon Trials (she must run 2:37:00 or better). She'll be part of an OTQ pace group led by 2024 Trials winner Fiona O'Keeffe. 📷 Jane Monti (cc: @fastwomen.bsky.social)

2025 363 days of supporting our sport. 1 day of celebrating my daughters wedding. 168 days at home in my own bed. 196 days out of town. Enjoyed almost all of it. What I didn’t enjoy I learned from. When do you get too old to not get exited for what’s next?

Just want to mention (again!) what an inspiring athlete Dot McMahan of Hansons Brooks ODP is. In February, 2024 she finished her 5th Olympic Trials Marathon, and last Saturday she won the #Crim10Mile for the 2nd straight year in 55:48. That's 5:35/mi pace for 10 miles for a 48 year-old woman.

I’m not trying to create any beef but Mercier Scoring tables says that 13:58 for 5000 is equivalent to 4:04 in the Mile. That was run with legal shoes. It was run on gun time. It was without male pacers running her all the way to the finish line. Just saying. That was special.

In the past week I’ve had 3 coaches reach out to me about dealing with parents, administration, and other coaches. I told all 3 of them the same thing. None of us began coaching for the parents, the administration, or other coaches. Just remember, we do it for the athletes.

I would like to create an annual DEVELOPMENT AWARD for the top Collegiate program that is developing athletes. In the age of limited spots on a roster, and buying ready made plug and play athletes, coaches that still believe in development deserve recognition. Help me with ideas?

Distance running improvement (development) requires time and consistency. This is true with beginners as well as pro level runners. The process deserves to be recognized and celebrated, not just the results.

USATF will not have a 2025 edition of the LA Grand Prix at USATF. Instead, they just announced they’ll work w/ Sound Running and combine their efforts around Track Fest on May 24th at Occidental College. It will be a World Athletics silver label event featuring races from the 800m to the 10,000m.

Heading to SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO with 3 athletes all excited to participate in THE TEN. 5 years ago Sound Running recognized that there were limited opportunities for Pro runners to run a quality 10,000 so in an attempt to save the event THE TEN was born. Our sport thanks you.

I see value in having a coach at all competitions. In addition to providing actual coaching, I feel it is important to help create a calm in the athlete and assist in putting out all potential problems (real or imagined). I’m also given an opportunity to thank those in charge.
