One Small Step for the Sport!
JOSH KERR RUNNING 3000 AT WORLD INDOORS
The sport needs this! The world 1500m champion will be running the 3000 at the
World Indoors before a home Scottish crowd taking on Yared Nuguse, and likely
Lamecha Girma, Getnet Wale, and/or Selemon Barega!
World Athletics needs to devise a system that encourages everyone to run World
Indoors. How about making the final at World Indoors = automatic Olympic
qualification in the event of your choice (so Grant Fisher could run the 3k to
get his 10k qualifier)? Instead, Fisher is incentivized to run 2 races no one
cares about to make sure he has a 10,000m qualifier.

Another Day, Another Big Doping Story
LRC TWO-TIME WORLD MEDALIST MOHAMED KATIR OF SPAIN PROVISIONALLY SUSPENDED FOR
WHEREABOUTS FAILURES
Katir, who earned 5,000m silver behind Jakob Ingebrigtsen at Worlds in 2023, is
appealing the suspension. Katir made a statement saying, "I believe that there
is no violation as a result of three whereabouts failures in the last twelve
months. In some of the whereabouts failures that were reported by the AIU, I was
available at the place, on the date and at the time that I had provided."
* MB: Mo Katir suspended for whereabouts failures
Men in The News
* Recommended Read Roadmap to Paris: BYU coach Ed Eyestone had a plan for
Olympic trials — his two runners did the rest “It could not have happened any
better,” said Eyestone as he reminisced Sunday about the race. “If I had
diagrammed it, that’s the way I would have drawn it up — start the first six
miles pretty easy, at a fairly comfortable pace, then have someone take it
out and push the pace and we cover those moves and drop the pretenders, and
then in the last three to four miles our guys power away. This was my wish
list.”
* Eyestone felt 40% joy, 60% relief at finish When he was shaving the morning
of the race, he prepared himself for only 1 guy making it. Now that it's over
he wants to add to his marathon mantra. “I need to add another C to the
mantra — chill, cover, close … celebrate,” said Eyestone. We need to enjoy
this one.”
* After going out in 60:36 and blowing up in his marathon debut, Joshua
Cheptegei says he'ss all-in on the 10,000 once again “I'm still in love with
the 10,000m, the special distance. I still want to go to Paris and win," said
Cheptegei who only trails Haile G and Kenny B in global 10,000 golds but both
of those men won 2 Olympic golds.
* Jakob Ingebrigtsen says tracksters complaining about pay is dumb: 'It sounds
very American.' Says Instagram makes 'you get stupid in the head'
* Henrik and Filip Ingebrigtsen also won't be at World Indoors "I'm dropping it
in favor of as good a pre-season as possible heading into the season," Henrik
said.
* World Jr xc champ Ishmael Kipkurui is running African champs (as a Sr) before
hoping to defend World Jr crown He ended up running 13:05 last year and
getting 10th at Worlds at 18.
Women's Q&As
* Q&A with Emily Sisson who admits mid-race when she got a side-stich she
thought it wasn't her day and "didn't think this (qualification) was going to
happen" Sisson thinks learning how to battle through a side-stich in Chicago
was invaluable.
* Q&A with Dakotah Lindwurm who says she wants to be top 10 at the Olympics but
is dreaming of a medal Her coach's race plan was flawless. "Coach Lundo
[Chris Lundstrom] told me before, if people make a move at 18 through 20 that
seems too heavy, let them go and celebrate it because they're going to come
back – they're going to blow up. He's a pretty wise man, as that’s exactly
what happened."
*Dakotah Lindwurm's college coach cried during miles 23-26 For good reason.
He may have been the reason she kept running after college as he told her she
could make the Trials. She one-upped him and made the team.
* Q&A with unsponsored Jess McClain who ran massive pb (2:25:46) to finish 4th
at Trials "I think people were yelling at me that I was in fourth place with
600m to go. At that point, I was like, ‘Holy crap, if I had just gone a
little earlier, what could have happened?’ But you can't really think that
way. It was all I could do. I gave it my all for sure."
* Q&A with Eilish McColgan who only raced twice in 2023 and she set NRs in both
(30:00.86 and 65:43)
* Q&A with Katie Moon who reveals she didn't workout at all for 5 weeks after
the season

most times to become the local legend would win the top prize–free Lifestyle
