Barkley Marathons, Ethiopian Olympic Trails and Paul Chelimo / March 19th, 2021

Final trial for Marathon squad of #TeamEthiopia @Tokyo2020 is planned to be satged in #Zurich on May 02, 2021, while the final trais from 800m - 10,000m to be held at @FBKGamesHengelo from June 06-07, 2021. Latest details on Ethiopian Olympic marathon trials. There had been some discussion that it would be a 30k or 40k, but the race distance will be a full marathon, I’m told.  @BStulberg Research shows 5 major factors or resilience: 1. Accepting reality even if it's hard. 2. Asking for help. 3. Being patient; knowing what feels like forever in the moment is not. 4. Narrative that you'll grow from struggle. 5. Routine—helps to activate and provides predictability.  The ability to show restraint is every bit as important as the ability to push forward.  Olympic silver medalist Paul Chelimo may not have got the American record he craved tonight, but he did extract a measure of revenge on training partner Emmanuel Bor in the Boost Treadmills 5,000, using a 27.32 last lap to outkick Bor and win in 13:09.90 to move to #9 on the all-time US indoor 5,000m list. Bor, who beat Chelimo two weeks ago on the same Virginia Beach Sports Center track at the FireFly Recovery 5,000, wound up second in 13:11.10, closing in 28.32 for his final 200.  “The Olympic Trials is coming up. Never count me out…I can do whatever I want, man…The race might start at the Olympic Trials, first lap I go 52 and we’re going to see what’s going to go down.” –  @Paulchelimo  @courtdauwalter Incredible effort team! The Barkley course won this round, but very well fought.  Media, to laz: You were a runner before? #BM100 FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER https://twitter.com/AndyNoise In March of 2020, I slipped on the illegally dumped cooking grease in front of John’s Burger and couldn’t walk for 6 weeks. This was my first injury since I started Endurance Training in 1979. Then in late April of 2020, I ended up in the hospital for the first time in my life. The diagnosis was Congestive Heart Failure.   This Vlog / Podcast documents my Sixth Decade of Endurance Training. The past Decade was about HOW FAR I could go.  This Decade will be about HOW FAST can I go post Congestive Heart Failure. https://linktr.ee/AND3RSON
