Oregon Track Club star Alexi Pappas headlines elite field wearing bib #1

Alexi Pappas, Nike Oregon Track Club elite runner and 3-time All American, will be headlining her first major race at the Bank of America Shamrock Shuffle 8K. Pappas helped lead the 2012 Oregon Ducks to their first NCAA Championship since 1987 and as a professional, has been climbing the ranks on the track and the roads. In 2015, she recorded one of the fastest times for the indoor 3000 and performed well on the roads at the Jacksonville Gate River run, finishing 4th in a field led by Shalane Flanagan. Off the roads and the track, Pappas is a creative force to be reckoned with. Her debut film, “Tall as a Baobab Tree,” which she co-wrote, earned strong reviews at international film fests. She co-wrote and stars in her current film, “Tracktown USA” which revolves around growing up in the world of running. “Tracktown USA” is in postproduction in Eugene, Oregon.

The Green Guys return to the Bank of America Shamrock Shuffle 8K

9 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. ..................................Post-Race Party
Featuring live music by Chancey Brothers

(Buckingham Fountain)

The Bank of America Shamrock Shuffle 8K is widely recognized as Chicago’s classic kickoff to a new spring running season, and a way to keep the St. Patrick’s Day spirit alive. One group of runners, known as the “Green Guys,” embrace the fun and festive spirit of the race by not only lacing up their running shoes but also by painting themselves green. The “Green Guys” debuted at the Shamrock Shuffle in 2008. The original two members, John Atchison and Ryan Giuliano, painted themselves green from head to toe, donning fancy green wigs and a pair of race shorts. Spectators and runners repeatedly referred to them as the “green guys” and the name stuck. Over the past seven years, they have become synonymous with the Shamrock Shuffle, and this year’s crew will consist of one original member, John Atchison, Atchison’s fiancée – the first ever “green girl” – Brittany Sorensen, and Oscar Muñoz and R.J. Puoci. On race day, they won’t be running for a personal record, but to get people cheering and find the fun in running.

  • The Updated Training Wisdom of John Kellogg

    The Updated Training Wisdom of John Kellogg

    The Updated Training Wisdom of John Kellogg A collection of John Kellogg’s writings on training for distance runners Compiled by John Davis between May 2009 and December 2015 [email protected] www.runningwritings.com “Why do I pose as ‘Oz’? Because I know which mission to assign to help runners discover their potential. But I can't give them any results through magical powers; I'm just a human like the little carnival man from Kansas. I can only guide them. ” —John Kellogg Preface The goal of this project was to compile as many of John Kellogg’s posts on LetsRun.com as possible. I profoundly admire his training advice and his knowledge, and applying his principles to my own training brought me to new heights as a runner. Why John Kellogg, and not any of the other highly-regarded figures in the running world who have posted on LetsRun.com over the years (Renato Canova, Nobby Hashizume, Jack Daniels, et al.)? Perhaps because of his mysterious, guru-like reputation, or perhaps because of the sheer difficulty of assembling the range of posts. I also felt that it had to be done, that it would be a great loss for this knowledge to fade into obscurity over the years. John Kellogg seems to revel in the anonymity of the internet, and has posted under probably dozens of different “handles” over the years. In all likelihood, the writings here represent only a fraction of his total contribution to the online running community. Though his words sometimes fell on deaf ears, the power of the internet preserved much of his writing.

    Indoor Track and Field DIVISION I Women’S

    Indoor Track and Field DIVISION I WOMEN’S Highlights Lady Vols show world-class distance dominance: Tennessee dominated Division I women’s indoor track March 13-14 – and dominated the world for more than 10 minutes. The Lady Vols captured the school’s second team title in five years at the Division I Women’s Indoor Track and Field Championships and won two events during competition at Texas A&M – including a victory in world-record time in the distance medley relay. Tennessee’s time of 10 minutes, 50.98 seconds, in that event sliced more than three seconds off Villanova’s 21-year-old world mark in the 1,200-/400-/800-/1,600-meter medley, and eight seconds off UCLA’s 2002 meet record. The relay squad was anchored for the second straight year by Sarah Bowman, who figured in both Lady Vols’ event titles and collected a second meet record when she out- leaned Texas Tech’s Sally Kipyego to win the mile run. “Oh, my gosh, look at what we’ve done this weekend,” said Bowman, who also was a member of the 2005 indoor championship team. “I couldn’t ask for a sweeter weekend my senior year. I can’t even put it into words. It’s so amazing. “The heart that this team has, I could actually tear up just talking about them. Just to be out here with these girls who are putting their hearts on the line for the team, and it makes you want to do it all the more. It’s awesome to be part of a team like that.” Tennessee coach J.J.

    10000 Meters

    2020 Olympic Games Statistics - Women’s 10000m by K Ken Nakamura The records to look for in Tokyo: 1) Kenyan woman never won the W10000m in the OG. Will H Obiri be the first? 2) Showdown between Hassan & Gidey. Can Hassan become first from NED to win the Olympic 10000m? 3) Can Tsehay Gemechu become second (after Tulu) All African Games champion to win the Olympics. 4) Can Gezahegne win first medal for BRN? 5) Can Eilish McColgan become second GBR runner (after Liz, her mother) to win an Olympic medal?
