Love is a powerful force for justice. We have a responsibility to put it into practice. BE LOVE by speaking up when someone’s dignity is denied, confronting injustice and using your power to serve others. Listen across differences. Work together to change the conditions that cause harm. Let’s practice love with courage and urgency as we work to create the Beloved Community. #BeLove #Nonviolence365 #BelovedCommunity #TheKingCenter

"I have seen tributes and comments from countless people who have a story about Frank Gagliano. And my favorite part? Pretty much none of them are really about running. They are about small acts of kindness. Like the time he gave his Big East Coach of the Year award to a coach whose team had improved from 10th to second in one year. Or about how he would be out in the rain watching the seventh heat of an 800 meter race because one of his guys was in there. T hey are about Gag taking a chance on you, and then making you feel like you were the only runner he cared about even though you knew he was doing the same for countless other athletes."

What's the difference between using AI as a coach and not? A single coach can run a program as if they have a handful of assistants. - It can help you setup your workouts more efficiently. Instead of you sitting there yelling out times, you can have a continuous clock running that everyone can see. - Instead of manually writing down every time, have printable sheets for each athlete grouped by pace. Rest, reps, how to read the workout all printable as PDFs. - Your splits can be recorded without typing that data back into Google Sheets. All you have to do is take a picture of your workouts sheets and it'll take those handwritten splits and import them. - You can do a legit post workout analysis instead of just being data entry. You can also use AI to analyze the workouts as a gut check: did your athletes run it right? Did someone go out too hot, too slow, fade mid workout? Film doesn't lie, times don't lie. - You can have better cues and be a more attentive coach because you aren't just collecting times and being glorified data entry in the practice. - No more data blindness. In the past you'd be too tired after punching in data that you wouldn't want to look at another split. - You can feed in current and past results, workouts, etc. to spot and reveal trends. Things you might've missed that impacted performance (think the 23 hours a day away from practice...) - Social Media content like Meet Day Graphics, Birthdays, Holidays, PRs, no longer become a chore. Instead you can build sick templates and then there's only like 4 variables to change. Date, Time, Location, Name, etc. - After you do this with practice you realize AI helps with other areas of your life... why only run efficient practices? Why not figure out how to grocery shop in a better way? Organization is organization. Efficiency is efficiency. These were just a handful of wins from my workshop teaching coaches how to use AI.

By all accounts, the first Sunday morning in October 1972 was a perfect day to go for a run. Shortly before 11 a.m., six women entered in the race—yes, just six—lined up at the start. The gun went off. And the women sat down. It was a perfect day for a run, and no one was running. A photo from the starting line would run across four columns of The New York Times the next day, be picked up by other newspapers around the nation, and make the Amateur Athletic Union officials go ballistic when they saw it. The photo helped launch a running revolution. runnersworldmag.visitlink.me…

Edna Kiplagat Is An All-Time Classic 🎶 "Edna Kiplagat’s doing the same things at 46 she was doing at 30, and is far surpassing her output from her 20s: showing up at (typically hilly, non-rabbitted) globally competitive marathons and holding her own. Particularly in an era where it can feel like every great marathoner is one doping bust away from falling from grace, it’s worth taking a little extra time to celebrate those like Kiplagat who have been really good for a really long time, doing it (seemingly) the right way and making both her home country and adopted home state proud for literal decades." 📫 Read more via @TheLapCount: thelapcount.substack.com/i/2…
