Track has more Black male athletes than all other NCAA sports combined besides football and basketball. So why are schools cutting it? Is it because it's the one sport where schools can't make money off of their Black students-athletes? @UMNews & @williamandmary, care to answer? pic.twitter.com/JWDhf4AZs8

Big win for OK State over a good Iowa State team at Cowboy Jamboree. Rodriguez back in form, but the big individual story was a dominant run by Iowa State's latest Kenyan star, Wesley Kiptoo — last year's juco national champ at Colby (KS) CC. pic.twitter.com/a3uGfEyesD
A new research paper suggests a new and possibly improved way to monitor your training other than miles-per-week. https://t.co/kJt9bC0OQO

Some people will record the @LondonMarathon and watch at their convenience. Others will set an alarm for 2am and watch it live. I am so excited to view a World Class Marathon that I will simply open my eyes and start cheering out loud for @jwardy21 @SaraHall3 & @ByGollyMolly12

Just a reminder. This is NOT normal. Marathons are brutally demanding on the body and tons of stuff can go wrong. Consistency is rare.
Yet, crazily enough, you can make the case Kipchoge is undervalued — he's won 11 of 12 marathons (92%). pic.twitter.com/AMiAkp1fjR

Given the way this year has gone, it would almost make too much sense for Kipchoge to lose London.
— David Melly (@davidlikesyou) October 4, 2020
Kipchoge didn't blame the conditions in his post-race interview, so who knows what effect they may have had on him. But even in a big jacket, he looked absolutely frozen in that interview with the BBC.

After 25 kilometers my ear blocked and it couldn't open anymore. But this is how sport is, we should accept defeat and focus for the winning next time.

Yes it happened. 7 years later @EliudKipchoge lost a marathon. The greatest marathon streak ever is over. How did it happen? https://t.co/XDpHo0QHAG #Londonmarathon2020

Sara was the fastest US Marathoner last year(2:22:16, sixth-fastest in US history). She has 10 National Titles as a pro from the mile to the marathon. She had that mile speed on full display down the homestretch & was rewarded w/ a 2:22:01 2nd place finish at the #LondonMarathon! pic.twitter.com/3EDeOJq7rm

Be aware of negative self-talk. I just spoke with an athlete and was surprised at how much negative self-talk he used (and he wasnโt even aware of it till I mentioned it). Remember, you are listening to your own comments and thoughts. #staypositive #running #coaching #training pic.twitter.com/j6NylQBhdA

MARISA LIZAK, Marina Del Rey, CA, just set a new womenโs 48 Hour record with unofficial 243.5 miles (391.87 km) in debut attempt at 3 Days at the Fair. She averaged 11:48 minute/mile, surpassing Traci Falboโs impressive 242.35 set in 2014. pic.twitter.com/nLc9WG6TOT
After pulling from the 3 Days at the Fair due to injury, @runcamille stayed to cheer. Marisa Lizak won the overall 48 Hour race & set a new womenโs American record in 243.5. Bob Hearn was second & set a new 50-54 AG mark with 240.3. Photos with @runcamille and RD, @rickmcnulty pic.twitter.com/kOm7BtlRtf
