For Clayton Young, #theroadtoLA2028 has begun. His masterful run in Chicago Marathon , taking 7th in 2:05:23 continued his personal journey to his marathon dream. Clayton experienced a 12 cm tear in a hamstring while finishing the Great North Run, just over a month ago. His coach, Ed Eyestone, told me that Clayton’s training block was one of the more challenging that he has mentored., Ed Eyestone and Clayton Young made the final decision three days out, and you can listen, in this interview, that Clayton was well aware of the complexity of his situation in Chicago. The overly enthusiastic vigor of Vinny Mauri over the first 30k set up a fine race for the American marathoners: Young and Charles Hicks followed, Marathons are a crap shoot. Vinny Mauri experienced cramps and battled back, taking 10th in 2:06:46. Clayton Young, a 2024 Olympian, displayed his experience, moving ahead of Mauri and pushing on to seventh in PB 2:05:33, with Charles Hicks in 8th, in 2:05:35 OB! The interview shown was from Friday, October 9, in conjunction with British newspaper. Note how Clayton Yoing gives the media his view of the complexity of his race situation, the challenges of an elite athlete coveting their own story in social media and the juggling of fulfilling the needs of sponsors. Clayton Young did all of those things in his Bank of America Chicago marathon run on October 11, 2026!

#TheroadtoLA2028 has begun, and for US marathoners , it began at the 2026 @chimarathon. Vinny Mauri shook up the running world with his 2:05:54 last Spring. It was a solo race for much of it. The questions about his treadmill training @planetfitness were answered with his tenth place in The Bank of America Chicago marathon in 2:06:46. He set an unofficial 30k AR as his front running style was only halted by his 4 stops, due to cramps, it seemed to this observer. In my pre race interview, shown below, Vinny told RunBlogRun that his big lesson from running in college was “to learn how to pivot”. Vinny Mauri recently signed with @asicsrunning . The media event in Chicago was his first major media event. Vinny Mauri is the real thing. He has found a training program that works for him now. When queried about his preponderance of treadmill workouts, Vinny reminded me of the bad weather in Ohio. Vinny Mauri should be on your short list first US marathoners as they focus for @la28 ! If you want to experience the @chimarathon in 2027, please use the this link, Chicagomarathon.com/apply . 🎥 @larryeder1958 @bankofamerica , @chidistanceseries , @asics , @bocesar3, #vinnymauri

Emil Zatopek supported the Dubjek government during the Czech revolt in 1968. The Soviet Union crushed the revolt and Zatopek paid for his support, loosing his commission, work and damaging his health. In 1991, I asked Emil if he was a Communist first or a Nationakist first, Emil smiled and said, “Nationalist.”

An important read…
