for anyone following Allie Kieffer on strava now, here's some estimates based on her 1:10:40 Doha half.

Congratulations @paul_chelimo - US champion! ”All that was in my mind, just before the race, I was thinking: I either have to go hard, or suffer the rest of my life... It’s an opportunity that I always have to grab, every time I get to the starting line. I was happy to come home with my third national title and able to represent this great nation again, at the world Indoors. Next for me is Glasgow grand prix, then gun for my first gold medal at the World Indoors in Birmingham, UK. My future goal is to be the greatest.” - Paul Chelimo.

After winning the 3000 m indoor title in Albuquerque on Saturday, he continued his streak on Sunday in the 1500 m race. Keep on saluting, and see you in Birmingham.

Cabada is great to learn from .. he really gives you more of the mental struggle, doesn't hide his emotions/struggles.

25 mile long run/40.25km-2:31:42 @ 5200-5500 ft elevation (mile splits/1.61km 6:53, 6:32, 6:28, 6:20, 6:17, 6:20, 6:17, 6:02, 6:05, 5:57, 5:43, 5:31, 5:52, 5:45, 5:51, 5:52, 5:59, 5:59, 5:59, 6:04, 5:58, 5:54, 6:02, 5:57, 5:52). Had a crappy start to my week, but just ended it and made it into an awesome week. Ran 20 miles or so last month at 6:30 mile avg or so, and today I was 6:04 mile avg for 25 miles. I wasn’t feeling all that great this morning, at 16 miles when I had to run alone and everyone else got to go home, I wanted to stop and quit. I was like “no fuckin way am I gonna Run 9 more miles, If I do I’ll run 6:30 miles”. Then coach Hudson said, that’s fine, but this is the only week you can really get in a big long run. In 2 weeks I have #WarsawHalfMarathon and next weekend I will rest more. I kept at sub 6 min miles without much effort after 16 miles, kept reminding myself I had to get it together. The closer I got to 25 miles the easier everything got, I started to feel more excited and stronger. I pushed out my doubts and weaknesses. This run isn’t all that great, but for me it was a much needed win and game changer. I still have a lot of work to do, but I’ve been doing it and in 4 weeks I’ll start to smooth it out. Looking forward to the next hard 4 weeks of training. It’s gonna happen, I will make it happen. .

dude Cabada is fucking unreal.. he got WRECKED 3 months ago and didn't tell anyone until now, until he was fully recovered and back on track. this dude is really odd, but amazing.

In honor of #motivationmonday.....3 months ago I broken my collar bone half way into my trip to Thailand. I was really lucky there was no more damage which could have left me paralyzed or even worst losing my life. I consider myself very lucky. I went on with my trip and had a lot of fun and met great people. However when it was time to come home, I was devastated and wasn’t sure what will happen. I had to get back to training and I couldn’t even put on shoes due to my injured foot as well. The holidays were not good for me and I was depressed. I took off one month completely and being rushed to having to train again, I took the risk and began. With my figure 8 shoulder straps on I started to jog very easy. I jogged a couple of weeks and then all of a sudden jumped into full blown out marathon training, I had to get ready for #LondonMarathon. In the past 7 weeks I have gotten in 6 weeks @ 100 miles. I could have given up and retired, it’s not like I have been at the top of my game the past couple years, but I didn’t want to go out like this. I have made a great recovery and I can now lift things. I am still recovering though. I will soon begin my yoga practice again with #ccyoga, can’t wait! What has kept me motivated...I owe a lot to going back to college to finish up my degree. It kept me from slipping into a dark place. Everything happens for a reason. All I know is that no matter what happens, I won’t give up. All we can do is the best we can in our given situation. It’s been fun seeing my improvement, excited for the next couple of months! .
