I’m kind of curious since it doesn’t really seem to do much other than make it easier to keep your arms swinging correctly for longer. I do find that after arm day my arms tend to get sore while I run, does that mean arm strength isnt dead weight?

Figured I'd ask this lot, but my wife and I are taking our 17 yo (who runds XC and track and wants to run in college) to the Pre classic. We are currently in Lane 4 for tickets. Don't know if it's worth donating $$ to get earlier access to tickets. Our kid said he's fine sitting anywhere near (50 m before or after) finish line, but doesn't feel strongly about being right on the line. Anyway we have until midnight tonight to donate and they have a good cause going for donations, but don't know if it is worth the lane "bump" to donate if that makes sense.

Also, if anyone has info about general prices (I've heard it can be $200+ for finish line tickets, which would be OK, $25 for GA, don't know if that's true... probably saw it here on reddit some time). Appreciate any experiences and thoughts.

Anyone know where I can Live Stream Ron Mann Classic; NAU. Thanks

I’ve got one indoor shot that is coming in underweight at 11.6 lbs. Can’t use it for practice because it would damage the gym floor we throw on. Does anyone know of a reason why I should keep it? Otherwise I am just going to surplus it.

It has a small split in it. So I’m guessing it’s due to that.

Im currently in HS and have been running (mid-distance) track for 3 years now, and I’ve always practiced 5 days out of the week and rested on the weekends. Though, my coaches have advised I run on the weekends too. I truly feel like resting on the weekends excels my running skills, but how many days a week do actual collegiate track athletes run? Am I holding my abilities back by not practicing 6-7 days a week?

Anyone have a youth club that practices on grass or dirt ?
Glad to give these away.

Injured my hamstring in senior year, but am thinking about getting back into track as a sophmore in college at a d3.

The indoor 400m World Record holder and defending World Champion has confirmed she will not compete individually during the indoor season. However, she plans to participate in both relays at the European Indoor Championships, which will take place in the Netherlands this year.

With so many guys running sub-4 now days, is the luster of four minutes gone (or even tarnished)? Or neither, quite yet. I still feel like it's a magic number, but it seems like its a getting a little less special every year.

What say you? Please discuss.

Joe Kovacs could become the first men’s shot putter to win four Olympic medals, which would have him join an exclusive group of just eight T&F athletes who have earned four Olympic medals in the same event.

Kovacs will be 39 years old at the Los Angeles Olympics and is aiming to continue his success after winning his third Olympic silver medal and two World Championships.

The 23-year-old National Champion cleared 2.31m on his final attempt at the Queens-Grace Jackson Meet, even attempting to break the National Record of 2.34m set by Germaine Mason in 2003. Unfortunately the mark will not be recognized as a World Lead since the meet is not listed on the World Athletics calendar.

Meanwhile in Australia, Lachlan Kennedy ran an impressive 6.43 seconds (w +1.6) in the 60m, a time achieved by only 11 men in history. However, this performance also won’t count towards World Indoor qualification due to the same issue: the meet wasn’t WA sanctioned.

Kennedy will compete at the Australian Short Track Championships this Saturday, a meet that is on the WA calendar and offers him another chance to make his mark.

Hey Guys, I want to buy the Nike Super Fly Elite 2. Everything about the spikes looks promising but there is one concern I have. Will it be problematic to use the spikes when it is raining due to the holes in the atom-knit design? Just to add the level of rain I am referring to ranges from light drizzling rain to moderate levels of rain, not heavy pouring rain (normally, when it rains heavily, I go sprint train at an indoor track).

However, during outdoor meets, I obviously don't have the luxury of choosing where to sprint during light to moderate precipitation levels. In the past, my Puma Evospeed Spikes held up well in light to moderate levels of rain. However, I'm not sure how the Superfly 2 will hold up. My Puma Evospeed is worn out considerably and sprinting in them any longer could cause injury (I am currently sprinting in sneakers/flats until I purchase a new pair of spikes), so it's not possible to switch out with them when there is light rain.

IN SHORT: Would the Superfly Elite 2 be problematic even when there are light rain to moderate levels of rain? Or would it hold up fine?

ALL RESPONSES ARE WELCOME AND GREATLY APPRECIATED! 🙏

What are your goals this week? Could be for a meet or for your training.

Hello, I wanted to ask a question about staying fit and healthy year round. I'm currently pretty under the weather and have a indoor meet in a few weeks. In the outdoor season I was sick during most of my races. I want to change that going into next season cause it's really been hindering me. Do you guys have advice?

Hi, all! I coach a youth club track and field/XC team, and I'm looking for a recommendation for a tent supplier. Does anyone have one they'd share? Thanks!
