Sir, you have outdone yourself.
In his first track race since 2017, Mo Farah breaks Haile Gebrselassie's world record for most distance covered in one hour, logging 21,330m (13.25 miles) in Brussels to break Geb's mark of 21,285m. That's 4:31 mile pace for an hour.
After the race, he took a knee on the track.
If you weren't sure you wanted the paid version ... Click through, don't just read the tweet and make assumptions. Good on ya, @Strava
To the Black community: we see you, we hear you, we're with you. Today, Strava is making a steadfast commitment to become an anti-racist organization – these are our first steps: strava.com/we-must-do-better
Read this, understand this, share this.
@Gladwell @BrownUniversity is cutting Men's track, one of its few sports with a large black student population and replacing it with sailing. They said they are doing this to increase diversity on teams. It’s ludicrous. #falsestart

Come on runners, you got this!
Think of a well-known European city in 7 letters.
If you remove the 3rd letter, you'll get a 2-word phrase describing what you must do to win a race.
If instead you remove the 4th, you'll get a 2-word phrase describing what you can't do to win a race.

So the @CascadeRelays #CLR is going virtual this year. No option for deferral or even partial refund. Hopefully they realize this is not cool and change their plans. Now is not the time to charge $1800+ for a virtual relay ...

Head to his original tweet and make a guess!! Tip: he's speedy, don't let the "sick for a month" throw you.
On Sunday I will participate in the @rambling_runner Virtual Marathon. I started training on April 8th, after being sick for a month. You are invited to predict my time (to the second, please). Whoever submits the closest guess gets a free, signed copy of RUNNING THE DREAM!
Ran my #stumptownquarantine5k yesterday in the hot sun and was miserable. But, it was the first time I tried to run fast in ... Well, a while. You can sign up and submit a time through this Saturday!

We'd like to thank all the local breweries and tap shops offering curbside pick up for making this a fine time to try new brews! #oregonbeer
Hey. Group runs have to stop. I'm talking about planned groups, not you and another person running with 10 get between you. Tell all your friends and let's make this happen.
This is a fun activity and an excuse to get off crowded trails and onto empty sidewalks.
Hi friends! A friend of mine from MN told me about neighborhood “bear hunts”. People put stuffed bears in the window and kids can get fresh air and walk with their parents while they hunt for bears. If you feel like playing along, please do! Colt got our house ready for hunters!

Hey guys, if your race gets cancelled or postponed, give the race organizers a little time to figure it out. Many races are organized by volunteers and they might also be juggling work, kids, and other things.
This is tonight!!! A sweet indoor mile at UP!
Tonight, we continue a tradition that has been around since the early 1990's. If you're in NoPo this evening, stop by our men's basketball game (7 PM tipoff) to see an event we call "the most exciting four minutes in college athletics," the Halftime Mile.
