This is our current all time list of d3 alums that have run under the current OTQ standards. Any help is appreciated!

We’re working on an all time marathon list for Division III right now and are looking for some help with our women’s list. Right now we only have 2 women that have run faster than 2:37 prior to 2022. 27 women under 2:37:00 in 4yrs. Have Joan Benoit-Samuelson at 2:21:21 and Gwynn Coogan at 2:32:58.

Really impressed by the USATF LDR January 2026 Report that was sent to us this morning. It was a long email, but incredibly informative. Combo of recapping big performances/athletes and news for this year. Kudos to the chairs for that.

In Olympic Trials Marathon news, looks like the site bids have been received and the goal is for a site to be chosen by May 2026.

In the last five years I watched a man run 2:08 while he was in medical school so excuse me if I don’t find your banned substance fueled marathon story impressive.

I’m a huge fan of finding new music especially when it’s a newer artist I’ve never heard of or has very few listens. But I keep worrying if I’m listening to something that’s AI created. Spotify needs to have a label for AI created stuff. I don’t want to support that shit.

I’ve had a bit of a theory about the vf2. Basically ran every workout/lr in it for 4 yrs. Did my use of this shoe style for this long have an effect to my foot strike/stride pattern/muscle use. Or Could I have been a super responder to the geometry of this particular shoe?

I got a little silly this weekend ahead of D3 Cross Country Conference Championship weekend. The kids are racing but which logo reigns supreme? I’m here to answer that. youtu.be/JIaNnuuoLNk?...

77 miles on 5. Time for some Blind Pig at the source.

A general rule of thumb on the other app has been If their profile says “bowtied”, move along.

With the new updates coming on the bird app it looks like I need to take my talents here. And by talents I mean shitposting.

you gotta give

The letsrun article is unfortunate for the image of the USATF. There’s a lot of people in the organization that are working hard with a very limited budget and having the head of it be consistently dismissive isn’t helping.

any event ryan crouser is not at cannot legally be called a championship, just btw

the only way that hulk hogan leaves a “complicated legacy” is if you’re not sure which one of his many evils to talk about first

Say what you will about this being a Nike marketing stunt. When’s the last time we had so many eyes on a woman in track and field like this outside of the Olympics? Particularly in the distances. That’s pretty cool, man.

I didn’t expect this much track news on the first day I decided to bust out my throws crewneck at work.

I’d argue that the GST news leak may be more harmful to the brand than the inevitable cancellation. You now have 12 hours of speculation from the fans and the media, an angry fan base that has to change their plans, and athletes in the dark.

As a So Cal native I don’t know how you come back to LA next year after such an abrupt cancellation. The city ain’t gonna be about it. Especially when you got things like this being leaked as excuses.

Last week the USATF announced the Men's and Women's Olympic Trials Marathon Standards. With this news breaking, I’m joined by fellow trials chaser, Rose City Track Club's own Lauren Ross to chat about the trials standard and lessons/tips for those chasing. creators.spotify.com/pod/show/bee...

One of the oldest boys HS records goes down as Cooper Lutkenhaus breaks Michael Granville’s 1:46.45 800 record from 1996. Lutkenhaus runs 1:46.26 to win the Brooks PR invitational over Owen Powell in 1:46.63. He’s only a sophomore…

We’re back. @Predamame, @chcknparmchenzo and I recap the next stop on the Grand Slam Track tour. Welcome to Miami! We give our takes, critiques, and praises of a fun weekend of track and of course talk about the shenanigans from last week on Twitter. open.spotify.com/episode/31i1...

At this point I’ve heard multiple rumors regarding the new Olympic trials standard from various people across the country. I’ve seen the men’s standard at 2:16 or 2:17 Women’s at 2:37 Sept 1 window opening. Talk of a A and B standard. If only we had a governing body to set the record straight!

Abbabiya Simbassa breaks the US Road 10k record at the Tokyo Speed Race tonight out in Japan. Breaks the previous mark of 27:48 held by Mark Nerow (1985) and Bernard Legat (2015).

Wrote a little something before my 5th Boston. beersandmiles.com/2025/04/20/i...

I’ve been fortunate enough to have been using the Fast R-3 for the last couple months for the majority of my workouts. I’ve worn my fair share of super shoes over the last 6 years but this felt like I was putting on supershoes for the first time. Will be my race shoe for Boston and CIM.

About a month later, here’s the Project 13.1 recap. Hoping to have the rest of the build posted over the next day or so. beersandmiles.com/2025/04/17/r...

If you watch the first episode of Alex Yee’s London Marathon YouTube Series you may catch a familiar face. Still one of the coolest weekends of my life.

Finally got my race bibs and posters up.

Into the peak of the build in this week’s post recapping the week of 3/10-16. Steady improvements and a fight through cold rain to hit 85. beersandmiles.com/2025/04/07/r...

With all the high school records going down recently I keep wondering if someone will eventually take their shot at Chapa’s 28:32. His 10k record will turn 50 years old next year. That’s insane. Michael Carter’s 24.77/20.65 (senior weight) shot puts are the other oldest (1979)

The block starts to get serious in this week’s update. I swear I’ll get caught up soon. beersandmiles.com/2025/04/02/r...

All this dumb ai generated bs on the bird app is gonna make me stick here more often.

Solid week, capping it off with racing with the fellas in New York. Heavy legs on race day but closed well to run my second fastest half ever in 67:55. Just a couple more weeks til Boston.

We got a name! Welcome to We All Broke 2. This week Ethan and I yapp about European champs, the kids continuing to run fast, some track news, and do a quick recap of NYC Champs. I botch a ton of names on this one, my bad. lol. Give it a listen! open.spotify.com/episode/4Q02...

We quietly released this one last week. @predamame.bsky.social and I recapped Tokyo, USA Half Champs, and of course the baby girl article. Lots of yappin’ in this episode. open.spotify.com/episode/2fqu...

I’ve been writing about my training heading into Boston and eventually CIM at the end of the year. Gonna try to catch up this week while I fly out to NY to race this weekend. But here you go. One of the worst workouts in years and then one of the best beersandmiles.com/2025/03/19/r...

Half marathon race week. I have two available options for this half, a workout pair of strikes with just over 100 miles on em or the light sprays that have just under 50 miles on em. Leaning towards the latter but will be working on with them to see how comfortable I am being aggressive in the shoe.

85 miles this week with two solid workouts. 10x 1k w/ 200 float on Wednesday 18 miles with 15 min @ 5:40-45, 15 min @ 5:20-25, 15 min @ 5:15-20 through a stormy morning on Saturday Hoping for a pretty solid half next weekend.

March Madness, F1 is back, Athletics, and Wrestling is at an all time high again. I’m so happy.
