Hey! I have no real opinion on Tracksmith (I actually think it looks pretty nice) but don't be dissin' the Dolfin look circa 1981. Loved it and rocked it HARD back in the day!

the mistake people make with tracksmith is looking only at the race singlet and shorts.
they look at those and think 'Dolfin 1981 ewww' and walk away laughing.
But look over the company's full catalogue - it's way more interesting and cool than that.
Your first point is spot on. Mary Cain will not be competitive at the elite level again unless she is willing to get leaner. I know that it's difficult for survivors of eating disorders to maintain a healthy medium, so no judgment there, but if she wants to actually be an "Olympic Hopeful" then she will have to find a way to control her BMI without relapsing.

I am impressed that Mary is a very, very good student and from what I have read is qualified to apply to Medical School or programs in many different allied science fields. She apparently still has the running bug, but she must realize the opportunity cost of taking an apparel marketing job over having a science-based career. This is also a tough time for all apparel companies (look at GIII, Ralph Lauren, PVH in the stock market). She will do well in whatever she chooses, but I hope an extension of a difficult running career is not behind her decision.
An Outside article says she has a degree in Business Administration and Marketing from Fordham. Don’t think she’s going to med school.
You see this time and time again. People put their academic and career goals on hold to pursue the dream of running. It is romanticized here, but,
The next thing you know their 30 working as a shoe rep or running store manager for the rest of their life for 50k a year talking about the 13:30 you ran or your marathon qualifier.
That is why I respect Martin Hehir so much. He gave running a go, but knew when to shift his focus to his career and future outside of running.

First time hearing about this brand. I really like their designs and the quality looks great. Has anyone on here purchased from this brand? Interested in knowing whether the fabrics are high quality before I purchase. Thanks
Brighton Base Layer + Session Shorts = worth every penny
Also check out the race kit and Reggie half tights
A little more than half of my running clothes are from Tracksmith these days. It's expensive so I've stocked up over the past couple of years, buying a couple of things at a time. I love their Twilight line, and wear those singlets in the summer and the long sleeve version in the winter. The fabric is great, very lightweight and just the slightest bit of stretch to it.

No, Brian got an M.S. Degree in Biology (instead of going to dental school) and has been a scientist in the Pharmaceutical Industry for a number of years.

I am a multimillionaire, ran D1 college track, think nick Willis is awesome, and would never buy this stuff. $70 nylon shorts? $80 running t shirts?
OTOH I am not a hater: I hope any running related business succeeds.
