ICYMI: LetsRun interviewed Shelby Houlihan last week, with no questions off the table. Talked about lingering questions from her doping case (how had she and Jerry Schumacher not heard of nandrolone?), how she trained while banned, and her 2025 comeback.

I'll echo everything David said below. No SLB = huge loss for running and anyone who wants to stay informed about the sport.

The 2025 USATF Indoor Championships start in less than 24 hours. Still no word from USATF about how Saturday's events will be broadcast.
There is a broadcast crew in place, so there is optimism it will be streamed. But no word yet on when/where.

So far, this indoor season has produced 8 NCAA records, 6 American records, and 5 world records in events between 800m and 5000m.

Some news ahead of this week's US indoor champs: a number of high-ranking USATF employees have left the org within the past year, including 4 of USATF's 10 highest-paid employees from '23. That's lot of experience and institutional knowledge to replace.

Some thoughts on the 2025 Boston Marathon fields:
-Conner Mantz & Clayton Young remain joined at the hip in a strong US men's field
