The two 19-year-olds inserted themselves into the all-time list at No. – Speaking of young talented stars: Jacob Kiplimo beat Jakob Ingebrigsten in the 3,000 meters 7:26.64 to 7:27.05 as they battled down the final 100 together. She tweeted: “Can we separate indoor and outdoor World Records again please!? We should be able to call 6.15m the outdoor World Record.

This was a great tweet by CITIUS MAG contributor David Melly that summed up Thursday’s showcase of young talent in Rome and others who have thrived with providing us tremendous performances amid a global pandemic.īetween Warholm, Lyles, Rojas, Crouser, Duplantis, Muir, & more, the idea that people could find watching any track event “boring” is truly insane to me Īlso…for what it’s worth, Olympic champion Katerina Stefanidi called for the outdoor world record to be recognized again.

I now have the best jumps indoors and outdoors!”Ī reminder that Mondo is just 20 years old and turned pro after one season of competing for LSU.

12, he cleared 6.17 while Levels by Avicci played at the indoor stadium in Toruń, Poland and then a few days later he cleared 6.18 meters at the Muller Indoor Grand Prix Glasgow.Īfterward, he apparently told the media: “I wanted the outdoor world best at 6.15 so there would no longer be any confusion. He now owns the highest marks indoors and outdoors. World Athletics actually no longer recognizes it as a world record but screw it, it’s easier to explain to a casual fan. Mondo Duplantis cleared 6.15 meters at the Rome Diamond League for the highest-ever outdoor pole vault mark. I need to sharpen up some speed in the next two weeks.

In the meantime, if any coaches are subscribed to this newsletter and want to give me some feedback on my 10 x 400 track workout (60 seconds rest) where I went 71-74-77-75-76-77-76-77-79-76, does this mean I might be in shape to crack my unofficial personal best of 5:12? (Maybe I got too carried away in the first rep) Reply to this and let me know. Next week, I’ll share some super exciting news about a new podcast sponsor, an official race on the calendar for me and a showdown that you won’t want to miss. I try to keep this upper portion of the newsletter to be a bit more personal. If you give it a listen, I think you’ll walk away from it getting to know me a bit better as a person and not just a running reporter or personality. Toward the end of the episode, I open up about how I really do think it’s changed my life for the better.

It took me a while to come up with the right answer to “What does running mean to you?” because as simple a question as it is, I’ve always kind of ignored it as just low-hanging fruit for an interview but never thought about how it applies to me.

I divulge some of my own personal running goals and aspirations. It was kind of therapeutic for me to sit down and share some of my story as to how I’ve gotten to certain places in my career. Others might simply be readers from my work at Sports Illustrated and various other places before that. Some people might know my voice more as a podcaster. I know some people may know me as one of their news sources on Twitter. This week, the tables were turned on me and I popped on Le Run Down (a podcast hosted by Justin Pugliese out of Canada) and it was a really fun conversation that I wanted to relay to you all.
