Missing out on the games by a hair and getting bumped down the world ranking by people like Sadik Mikhou, who already served a ban and magically ran standard by himself a few days before deadline, adds insult to injury. It affects clean athletes everyday. Fuck them dopers man.

As a professional athlete, it truly feels humuliating to lace up my shoes and head out to do 3x1’ walk-jog.
I need to remember that everything has to start somewhere. Today is a reward. This is my chance to get back up after getting knocked down. I got this.

Congrats Rory!!
Today I ran a couple of 150m between 17.5-6 (never broke 18.0 for 150m or 24.0 for 200m before)
Also, 7 days ago I did 9x2000m with 90 sec jog rest, feeling like I could crush a half mara for the first time ever.
All roads lead to Rome…but I’m feeling damn good about this base

(Un?)Fortunately I’m getting pretty good at overcoming rediculous setbacks, but this stings.
Athletics Canada has decided to fund 5 x 1500m runners in their HP program. Charles PT, one of only 6 canadians to qualify for World’s since 1990 other the distance, is not one of them.
Last run of altitude camp ✅ Thankful for good health 😁. Racing for the first time in over a year Saturday at Boston University in the 5000m distance. Got the keys to the hurt locker and I’m going right in 😤
Je ne sais pas pour les autres personnes de ma génération, mais je me sens réellement trahi et dégouté par notre système d’éducation.
Je n’ai jamais entendu parler des pensionnats autochtones avant un cours d’anthropologie au CEGEP (quel % des jeunes sont exposés à ce cours?)
Avis à la population:
Il serait pas mal plus facile pour les coureurs🏃🏼♂️ et cyclistes🚴🏼♂️ de garder 2m de distance avec les marcheurs🚶🏼♂️si les autos🚗 respectaient aussi 2 m de distance avec nous sur les routes vides!
Mais ça c’est pas d’hier hein 🧐

Still striving everyday to get to his level and beyond - It’s important to give respect to those who have paved the way, as it is much easier to travel down a road than it is to build it yourself.

If their content really triggers you as a runner maybe you are the problem.
They probably got hundreds of HS kids to stick to the sport during Covid just because they motivated them with their content. If that’s not your thing, okay, but no need to hate.
This is incredibly important‼️
Athletes, parents, take notes: there are still way too many collegiate and pro programs that function that way. These need to be avoided and brought up to light.
Performance should NEVER come at the expense of mental and physical health.
"I joined Nike because I wanted to be the best female athlete, ever. Instead, I was emotionally and physically abused by a system designed by Alberto and endorsed by Nike," says Mary Cain.
Pace de 28:20 jusqu’à 1km à faire... puis le mur. Après réflexion, ma nutrition n’était pas optmimale pour un effort aussi long, un peu en dehors de mes habitudes sur 1500/5000. Merci

Interestingly, I started getting a lot better at 5k/10k distance when I stopped « racing » my tempos.

Thread on my totally unsolicited take on the recent crazy times: compound interest.
What is compound interest you say? In finance, it’s the gain you make on the interest your investment has made over time. The interest on the interest basically.
