ryan hall calls out the shoes, calls out iaaf in regards to 2020 (and beyond)

completely agree. it's getting out of hand.

non-nike sponsored athletes are running in nike's to try and even out the playing field. shoes w/ multiple carbon fiber plates and accelerated foot rockers need to be banned from pro competition.

With all due respect to @kipchogeeliud as he is clearly the greatest marathoner of all-time regardless of the shoes he is in, when a shoe company puts multiple carbon fiber plates in a shoe with cushion between the plates it is no longer a shoe, it’s a spring, and a clear mechanical advantage to anyone not in those shoes. I’m just hoping @iaaf_athletics makes sure the upcoming Olympics and @wmmajors are fair playing fields for athletes of all brands. *** see next post for further clarification

CLARIFICATION: I feel the need to make a few clarifications on that last post as apparently people can’t read without projecting their assumptions on it . •
1) I am no way trying to takeaway from @kipchogeeliud amazing performance this past weekend. I am continually blown away and impressed by his performances, which I thought I made clear by saying he is the GOAT “REGARDLESS of shoes”. He did it. He broke 2 and I’ll be the first to celebrate that. If you don’t believe me listen to my interview on the @bbcnews. •
2) The only reason I posted was simply to state my opinion that shoes need to be regulated with strict rules so that it’s an even playing field for elites across all brands. I’m all about advanced in technology that help us run faster. But I don’t think athletes should be losing races because they are in a shoe that doesn’t have a spring-like mechanism in them. This isn’t about unreleased prototypes not being available, it’s about mechanical advantage. Other sports have limits they place on the gear- cycling, triathalon, golf. So needs track and field.

damn nice. lots of quality sessions ever since the move.

yeah, i've been feeling pretty good the last few weeks (knock wood). the shin thing from last week seems to have been nothing. just signed up for a race on 23 november on what's apparently a super flat course. that's the target now. i might do one or two before then as well but without tapering, just to practice racing and push myself in competition a bit. for example was thinking to do one of the local parkruns this saturday (see previous post about taxing the old legs a little extra this weekend).


damn nice!

and ya, training races are great.

tonight

- run 10.09 km in 50:24
turned right out the front door rather than left tonight just to try something different. it was really crowded and lots of road crossings so pace was all over the place, but averaged 5:00 and felt absolutely breezy. this route was uphill first then downhill, which is the opposite of when i run down past the olympic park and to the canals, so final 2km were extra quick with no added effort.

EDIT: gukl and joe, y'all wanna do the hackney marshes parkrun on saturday morning?

one day we'll have the ability to @ :<

a bunch of my classmates are chinese and i was talking with two of them about lebron today. apparently the reaction in china to lebron backtracking is super positive (unsurprisingly, perhaps). lebron and the NBA have money to make in china, they don't give a shit about hong kong. one of the few things democrats and republicans can agree on in the US is "china bad!" US nba fans will forget about this in a few weeks or months and meanwhile by bending over backwards to kiss china's ass the NBA is protecting its image in a place that won't forget how it handles this situation.

not saying it's right, just saying.

good info.

and a pissed off lebron to start the nba szn is going to be dangerous for his opposition.

damn nice! congrats!

if 5k PR attempt is all out, i wouldn't do it. if it's a "Safe PR attempt", ie, not grinding/pushing all out, more comfortable (just because fitness is so much higher), then i'd do it.

grinding pr attempt 3 days from a race could be a bit much.

pc!
