Part of why middle age people run the marathon is it's a modern day spiritual experience: -It's challenging. You go through lots of emotions. Making you feel alive. -It's communal. You're in this together. You experience a collective bond. -There's a big party at the end.
Hang Up and Listen w/@byjoelanderson + @alex_kirshner on NFL draft QB mania and Anthony Edwards' impending superstardom. Plus, @stefanfatsis + I are joined by @ChadSalmela to talk about Jessie Diggins' cross-country skiing excellence slate.com/podcasts/hang-…
High running volume isn’t a prerequisite for success, but a relatively high aerobic training volume is. It can be achieved for effective running performances without it all being running. Meet the new poster child for such a notion.

Jessie Diggins wins World Cup overall title in a season where starting was the biggest victory nbcsports.com/olympics/news/…
You know it’s the last distance classic race of the year when you collapse 1m beyond the finish line.
In what realm does the 3rd-best athlete in the world NOT make your 4-man relay team? [the answer is Norway]
22 years ago, called my first Olympic event from this spot as PA announcer with @kjellerik. Women’s 15k IND. Back in same spot this week for @biathlonworld cup. Fun to be back.
10 minutes ago Chaveau was at the back. Now she leads. Biathlon.

World Relays is an example of a constant problem with track. Amazing event! But feels like the primary focus is providing an opportunity for athletes and federations, and fans are an after thought. Broadcast was poor and stands were half full for an event I believe the casual…

Great segment on Jessie Diggins on @Slate Hang Up and Listen this week. I have little knowledge of skiing but that dialogue was invested and passionate @stefanfatsis @josh_levin @byjoelanderson @ChadSalmela
@josh_levin @byjoelanderson @alex_kirshner @stefanfatsis @ChadSalmela The tv commentary by @ChadSalmela reminds me of Billy Mills winning the 10k in Tokyo 1964 and the then NBC anylyst Dick Bank shouting “LOOK AT MILLS”! Only Bank was fired by NBC (for cheering from the booth) for what was much tamer commentary than Chad’s. Such a different era.

I find it amusing that to break a distance world record these days you need super shoes, pacemakers, good weather, and pacing lights. To break the discus world record, you just need a big empty field and a friendly wind.

So vindicating to see Valby break records on low volume/high intensity with x-training. This is basically what I did until I started skiing year-round at age 23. My results were nothing like hers, but I always felt that this was perhaps the best plan for me.
