We have long conversations in our house about the beauty of running and who it’s for—Everyone is the right answer. It hurts me that this isn’t universal. I’m so sorry to this man’s loved ones and to anyone who feels this space isn’t for them.

Thank you Steve for speaking up. It blows my mind that the running media has seemingly brushed this entire tragedy off. Are we not concerned about physical, sexual and psychological abuse? Are we not concerned about a fair playing field? Where is the outrage?

Look, I don’t compete for the US but this is important. We athletes all have blinders on, trying to make our own Olympic Teams. USATF turning a blind eye on clear rules and processes is the wrong move and a dangerous precedent.
