The best way to get the most out of someone is to make them feel secure enough where they can take risks and fail.

Most of us don't reach our potential because we default to protective mode.

Threatening & demanding makes us protect further. Security and belonging frees us up.

2025 edition of World Road Running Championships cancelled | PRESS-RELEASES | World Athletics The World Athletics Council has decided not to award the Championships to an alternative host this year due to lack of essential planning and preparation time required to cater for both elite and mass participation race elements

This is massively disappointing, especially for the U.S. athletes who qualified for the team—Taylor Roe, Emma Grace Hurley, and Amanda Vestri in the half marathon, and Krissy Gear and Karissa Schweizer in the mile.

Remembering marathoner Sally Meyerhoff who died 14 years ago yesterday, killed by a motorist while cycling. She was just a terrific person, and was just 27 years-old. The motorist was never charged.

Training is practice.

What a blow. The announcement offers no reason beyond, "We really looked forward to welcoming the running world to San Diego this September but sadly it is not to be at this time.”

I want to be Monti when I grow up.

Aliphine Tuliamuk and Emily Infeld Sign With Brooks The two Olympians join the brand.

Brooks has carved a niche supporting successful runners in their 30s who don't want to be part of a formal training group. It's an interesting strategy and has paid off for them already (Erika Kemp, Susanna Sullivan, CJ Albertson, @deslinden.bsky.social, others)

Leaving the Strava-ing to him (and you!!) lol

Impressed by the hubs’ 24-miler yesterday! 🤯

Fun project tonight. 🎄🤫👀

12 hour work day but managed to squeeze in a nice 42 min trail run. Forgot my watch, which made it even nicer. 82 degrees in December? Yes, please. 🎄☀️

Awww thank you SO much. It was a year I’ll never forget. ❤️🫶

Oh I know 🤣🤣

The other shoes in my @brooksrunning.bsky.social order…

Left: Saturdays x Ghost 16
Right: Glycerin StealthFit 21

Was going to hold off on a lunch break trail run b/c I don’t currently have trail shoes.

But FedEx just showed up with my @brooksrunning.bsky.social order which means my first trail run of the fall/winter szn is a go! 😎

Most definitely! Will be taking it easy during the holiday season. Fun spring plans await! ☺️

Happy holidays, Tim!

First time post-marathon that I’m already looking forward to the next one!

Slowly getting back to running, but that in itself is a win. 🤗

I am so jealous 😭 Have the best time!

Love me a new social media platform. @bsky.app 👋👋
