Oregon will once again be led by a distance-oriented coach - and a very successful one - as Jerry Schumacher will be returning to the collegiate ranks after a 14-year absence. *MB: SC members, and the next University of Oregon xc/track coach is.....Update. My source has new names and they are WILD!!!  The wild names we gave to our SC members on June 23rd - Jerry Schumacher and Shalane Flanagan. *MB: Coffee Club Podcast: Jerry Schumacher, new Head Coach of Oregon XC/Track and Field

DeBues-Stafford says that while she has no reason to believe anyone on BTC is taking performance-enhancing drugs, the uncertainty surrounding the specifics of Bowerman and coach Jerry Schumacher's continuing relationship with the banned Shelby Houlihan was a "critical reason" for her departure. *MB: GDS has left BTC, cites Houlihan explicitly.

From Salazar using the LetsRun messageboard to guide his 2011 Boston Marathon coaching to a drunken attempted kiss of Kara Goucher on the plane to the 2011 Worlds to Salazar crediting Chris Solinsky's 26:59 to Solinsky being on thyroid med, Matt Hart's fantastic new book has some fantastic revelations.

After three straight runner-up finishes, Jerry Schumacher, Simon Bairu, Chris Solinsky, and the Wisconsin Badgers broke through to win their first title in 17 years. Plus a women's race packed with future stars.

10 years ago today, Chris Solinsky shocked the world by running 26:59 in his 10,000-meter debut. Get the inside story and learn how the date of Solinsky's wedding played a key role in his preparations and why his victory led to a decade-long feud between coaches Alberto Salazar and Jerry Schumacher. 

The top U.S.-based entrants in Sunday's Tokyo Marathon both hail from Jerry Schumacher's Bowerman Track Club. Saina is coming off a fifth-place finish in the Olympic 10,000, while Bumbalough, finally healthy after almost two years of injuries, is hoping to find success at the ultimate distance.

Derrick battled a series of injuries during the last Olympic cycle, but he ran 27:38 on the track in November and has been logging 100+ "Jerry" miles in Flagstaff this winter. Healthy once again, he's hoping to regain his title at Saturday's USA XC Champs, a race he won three times from 2013 to 2015. The bad news is Jerry may not let him run World XC.

He'll get a shot for redemption in the 5000 in Zurich.

We know who made the team and who didn't but who really won and lost? We tell you but with a twist as some losers won and some winners won by losing.

Some interesting insights from the Trials as husband Alistair Cragg talks about yelling to Amy to stop waiting for Shalane Flanagan and go.

A lot of uncoordinated distance runners can't do a lay-up, but Schumacher says Jager "can do a lay-up beautifully."

Get the latest news from the April 1 press conference at Nike's headquarters where the BTC announced they've signed a strategically key athlete and Alberto Salazar unapologetically said he's planning more NOP doping experiments.

Schumacher: "In the first couple months Shalane contacted us. I was like, ummmm. ... But it worked out well.

Apparently it's less volume than she did with Jerry Schumacher, but more than with Alberto Salazar.

Kara dominated the race, but she was the only one of the top 3 racing as Flanagan and Cragg ran a more controlled effort.
